Anybody able to tell me how much longer I should leave my tangerine dream for? I’ve looked at other diaries and a few have been harvested while pistils are still mostly white. I usually harvest when they’re mostly orange/brown but I think this is my first Sativa dominant strain

Best way to be sure she is ready is watching your trichomes with a microscope. The most of the trichomes have to be full milky colored and 10% amber colored. It’s better to wait a week longer than cut her to early

Is it just me? Or is AN PH Perfect Line of Grow, Micro, Bloom really a bad choice for Autoflowering Hydro Grow.. I've had to supplement Cal/Mag and manage PH because of that. They should release an Auto Specific Nute.

Since my light has the 3 options for Veg, Bloom or Full spectrum which would be best? Also if my room temp never climbs above 30 do I need to have fans in my grow space if I leave the door open for ten minutes every morning in the room with a small fan to let the air exchange?

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there. And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

Defoliation technique?How many times can I defoliate during flower or how often can I do it? Beginning of week 3 and I've defoliated heavily twice already but the canopy is overly thick again. Will I stress my flowering girls if I keep the defoliation at every 10 days?

Alright, the Plants are doing great, the oldest one which is one week ahead of the others is ready soon. I normally just give tab water for a week before cutting the plant. Now my question: what do you think about flushing with Molasses, I red that somewhere online.

I am attempting to mainline again. My first time was not too successful, but it worked out OK. The question is: Should I remove the fan leaves at this point? I did that on the last topping and it seemed to accelerate the growth, but not sure if these are big enough. thanks

Is some light defoliation required or should I let them live freely?All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light. I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done? Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily? Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing
