I'm looking for more taste than quantity in these beautiful plants. I was able to read that by stressing them a bit (LST or other techniques), it brought out more the terpenes of the plants. What do you think ? Do you have techniques to have a better taste ?Week 5

Ideally in soil one wants to flush for two weeks before harvest and one wants to harvest when trichomes are 50/50.. but, how do you know WHEN to start flushing? How do you know when the plant is "close" to that moment and does this speed up the color change of the trichomes? Ty!Week 8

So this plant is in week 8 now, 50 days and still hasn’t formed any flowers- seems to be vegging forever. Light schedule is 20/4 - breeder says will flower at 18/6 - is it not going to flower because it’s getting too much light? Is this possible for an auto? Any advice? Thank youWeek 8
