Kingcannabisstarted grow question 7 years ago
Is my plant starting to flower? I have it on a 20/4 light cycle, I thought I would have to switch it to 12/12 in order for it to flower. Am I doing something wrong?

Kindbudzanswered grow question 7 years ago
It appears as though it is starting to flower. The light cycle does not always affect the flowering period. In the case of auto-flowering plants it is more of a time release situation in which the plant typically grows for at least 4 weeks and then will make the switch to flower on its own. Auto flowers occur when an Indica or sativa plant are mixed/bred with a ruderalis Plant. The ruderalis breed doesn’t flower based on the light cycle but by how old the plant itself is. Hope this helped and good luck!

To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?4 months ago

Right harvest time - Trichome color expierencesCan you please share your experiences regarding the right time for 48h darkness + harvest?
WW 70% Indica/30%Sativa, if the trichome color is milky it will be a head fucused instead of body focused effect
Expectation:Harvest time should support the ratio type of strainWeek 8

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!Other.

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?Other. Mold

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles.
