Hello 😉 when the plant has developed its first 5 or 6 nodes.It is important to note that this technique always applies to a growing plant, never to flowering plants.

Hey guys, just a general question regarding my set up. Reason for trying these Six Shooter is mainly down to the potential big yeilds that FastBuds claim can be achieved. I'm looking for advise on a sure fire strain that can achieve big yeilds. Please hit me up with suggestions!

I was rotating the plants, a little ocd action and accidentally supper cropped a cola. Seems to be doing ok and not worried about it. My question is this ok to do deliberately in flower and increase yeild or should it be avoided after a certain amount of weeks into flower?

I am having a hard time getting a sense of the autoflower "timeline". Many breeders have these "seed to harvest" claims, such as 55 - 85 days seed to harvest etc. My grow is entering week 9, and the flowering stage is just getting started. Are these claims even worth noting?

Hi all. Looking for some ideas on where to hang my buds too dry b4 cure. I use the tent but I’ve got plants going straight in and some ready sooner than others. I have an attic but it’s usually over 25c. The wardrobe I think might be too humid. Smell Stealth reasonably important

Hey, I was wondering about conformation and how I should approach these potential males. Should I pull them now? It has been about 10 days, since hairs appeared on the other 2. Probably going in to flower by the end of the week. Should I leave the males until then?

One of the three plants in the 5 gallon DWC is almost ready, a good 2-3 weeks before the others. I assume I have no choice but to flush the entire tub with plain water for a week before harvest. I will then need to resume nutrients for the other two; good or bad idea?

Would a combination of giving my plant too much nitrogen and water during flowering make it smell like wet grass?

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stage
Hi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.

I would like help with Mainlining. The stems are very thick, should i try to wait for them to get a few inches above my cut and maybe become more flexible and pliable to bend horizontal and make my second cut, (2 > 4 colas) or try bending now? I'll add photos

Cant seem to get soil ph to go up. What is the cause and what am I doing wrong. Everything was great until flower so I'm guessing it's the bloom boosters. I've fed light and watered til at least 5% runoff the entire grow.

What would be the best temperature for my water to be when watering my plants outside in hot weather?? I read things that say ice cold water and others say room temp water. I would like to understand this better. My plants are big and dry out almost everyday.
