Dear Members i have a Royal AK before harvest, i'm at the 8th week of the flowering period. I made a picture from the trichomes (last picure), could somebody tell me, should I wait one more week or can I chop it off right now? The picture is taken from a side bud.

Good evening everyone, simple question. When do you recommend using carb sources during flowering and for how long do you recommend running them?

My seedling in the red solo cup was knocked over and fell out! I immediately picked it back up and replanted it in the cup. I also added more soil and watered it soon after. Is there anything else I should do or is this seedling dead? Btw there was no physical damage to the plant

I'm in my 11th week and have stopped adding nutrients last week. I'm planning on harvesting at the end of this week, I'm following the advice given two weeks ago. Does this seem like a good timeline to follow? I'm looking for a nice clean high, not too heavy effect. Thanks

Looking for pruning/defoliating tips
I have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips. Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones? Thanks for your help! John D.

Defoliation at blooming in a late-growth auto
Hello! Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage? Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility. Many thanks.

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?
