May as well just carry on if she already started branching off from the break bud.

Can anyone tell me how many weeks left I might have until harvest? I am planning a holiday and need a rough date to work with! I am happy to harvest a little on the early side when trichomes are all cloudy. If a few people could put their best guess I can average them, thanks! 🙏

Should I defoliate that 8-top Critical (the bigger of the two plants in 9L pots)? I feel it's getting very bushy and leaves getting in the way of light for bud sites. How would you go about defoliating it?

My LED light has height instructions, it splits the heights into Seedling, Veg and flowering stages. I'm curious as to what separates seedling from veg stage. When should I lower the light to the veg stage height?

Light penetration for inner defoliation?? Outdo
High, y’all. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She’s a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I’m getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.

I tried Advanced Nutrients feeding calculator. 30L reservoir full of tap water (130ppm) and, in total, 120ml for both Connoisseur A+B, and 60ml for each of the 3 additives. I did exactly what they suggested and measured EC after mixing up well. Is it normal to have this crazy EC?

Still a relative noob, so please excuse my ignorance. What fertilizer is good for the full cycle (veg, flower, bloom) that is easily available and not outrageously priced? Using a peat/sphagnum mix, virgin soil.... Thanks in advance!

My calendar says these should be done on 9/10/2019 (in 4 days). Do they look like they're ready to harvest, or will they need more than 4 days? It may help to add that I am color blind, so seeing the amber colors of the trichomes is very difficult for me. Any help would be great!

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?
Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

I've noticed my plant is pretty low to the ground like a cabbage. I started the germinated seed a knuckle deep in the soil. Now its starting to grow big but not too much upward. My lights over 2 feet above, 230 watt LEC. Is there a method to grow it taller.It is indica dominant.

Plants looking a little light in color... I just moved her outside so will the nutrients in the rain take care of that or should I add nutrients? Also I just bought ready to use “captain jacks” do I just spray everywhere?
