I think it’s fine as they will solely be concentrating on producing fruits. As long as you have no deficiency it’ll be all buds 👻

Looks great man, I think you'd do well to remove some of the lower buds also 👍🌱

Would say yes but no. I mean you defoliated a lot but it seems to be a good way to go when I see your plants

21 days old auto started flowering. Why?
Hey Guys. My Diesel auto started flowering at the age of 21 days. Why this happened? I got 5 autos together, this one is the smallest compare to others, and still she started flowering. I'm thinking bad genetics, but maybe I'm wrong? All conditions are ok. Its under vipar 300w

She took a LONG time to get big enough to flip to flower. I grow in fabric pots and organic soil. I think I over watered in the beginning, but could I have also defoliated too much, too early? How do I know how much water and when? How much defoliation is too much?

Space..
Not enough space. I havent got experience with autoflowers, they are bigger then i expected, with so many tops. Is better to take smallest one (verry short pheno-left Down corner)away for better yields per plant? Or is it still OK? Thank you and sorry for my english. ✌️

Time to chop? First time harvest. Can’t tell if trichomes are cloudy or clear? White widow auto ILGM
Hello! I’m planning on harvesting today! Most of the trichomes look cloudy in my opinion and I’ve found a few amber. I’m mostly going for the cerebral high and would like to start a new grow soon. Can you tell me if it’s ready? Cloudy or clear? recently posted photos in my diary

Healthy or hermie clone? Unsure.
This is my first surviving clone from my Fire OG plant. Does she look healthy or hermy? She was cut from my current Fire OG plant in November and had a hard start. She’s thriving now but worried about gender dysphoria. Thanks for comments!

Forgot to take pictures. Mushroom grew out my soil (indoor tent). No signs of mold will keep eye open. It looks same as grow out my jalapeno plants container soil. Is my soil Alive? Should I back off a little on the concentrated mycorrhizal powder?

…I should have bought the apera to begin with
I corrected my mistake of buying the cheap ph pen and the apera reads 8.0 (should have bought it to begin with). Now watering at 6.8, things are looking better already. Am I seeing nutrient burn or is the discoloration normal? Are there any steps I should take with the soil?

Taking a vote, life finds a way! To snip or not to snip.
Just spotted this little branch peaking through the hydroton in late flower which I thought was pretty impressive. She even has little triches forming on her. Taking votes on weather to snip her or let her grow!
