Do most strains’ buds really swell and fill out ...

Chronic_Benjistarted grow question 5 years ago

Do most strains’ buds really swell and fill out in the last 2-3 weeks of flowering? And I read articles that were against topping auto’s even once because of the stress, but I know others do it. Better yield or nah? (For future reference)

Yes those buds should swell up in the last 3 weeks or so if you got your nutes dialed in correctly and 2.) I never top Autos and get big yeilds! Autos don't have time to recover from topping because they are on a time limit to get things done quickly... If you get time pop on over to my profile and check out the Cream Mandarin and West Coast OG man I got incredible yeilds without doing any LST or topping

I think it depends mate. I've had success on topping my autos. See my sour orange grow although I probably could've let her go another week or two. My ggg's were all topped too. It definitely slows the vegetative growth down though 🌱😁

Ready to chop- I want to be around to burp and cure- but no amber I am ready to chop. My plants trichomes are mostly cloudy- so now it's just a waiting game. I need to chop soon- because I have a lot going on this summer. What happens if I do not wait for the amber to show? Big mistake?

Harvest time soon?Trichs are almost all milky but most pistils haven't turned brown yet. My question to the novices and pros in our community is when to harvest this? Not all plants exhibit the same signs so I've included representative bud shots. I prefer an "up" buzz not the amber couch lock.

Hey guys, I have a question about drying. Where I live the temp right now are pretty hot and the only place I can dry in is my grow tent(50x50x160cm)10 days from harvest.I will dry with a temp of 23/24C and 60/62%Rh. Unfortunately buying an ac unit is out of my budget at the moment. I'm planning to hang my plant whole to maximize the time of drying and compensate the hot temp. Will this allow me to dry my plant in a good way?

Herb Dryer 2 Hi growmies, Posting here a picture of an initial draft of idea for herb drying with stealth and easiness. Is an helicoidal inline fan too much? Any ideas of other types of carbon filter instead the odorsok? If you get ideas please share ;)

To trim or not to trim (for the dry)?Alright, two-ish more weeks. I aim to hang her whole in a dark tent in the basement at 60 degrees/60% R.H. for two weeks once she’s ready. Should I remove the larger fan leaves? Should I trim it like it’s hot? Or do nothing but wait? Any tips on the process? Anything missin
