It doesn't really matter. Just give the plants 2-3 days in between to recover from the transplant shock or from the topping.

Weird formation, should I harvest?
Buds are growing weird, her 2 sisters have been chopped but this one seems to be getting sick and slight foxtailing, the main colas have 4 tops growing out of each causing a block like cluster, trichomes look milky with the odd amber one. Should I just chop her down?

Top bud mature before the rest?
Should I remove the very top portion of the plant because of trichome color and maturity or should I let it keep going? The rest of the plant is still showing it's growing but idk if I should take the top portion off or leave it. Thanks in advance!

Due to personal reasons I have to cut these in two days and I was wondering do I have any tricks to make them ripe even slightly faster in this time? I was thinking changing lights 24/7 (these are autos) but is there anything else really?

Nanna late flower
Hey, Glookies (8-10 week strain). I’ve just finished week 7 and realised two buds have nanna’d. Only happened in last week. I chopped the buds but am now thinking, should I finish this week which will be week 8 or ride it out to ripen more. trichomes are cloudy no amber. Thanks

Virtually no trichomes. Cause for concern?
About 10 weeks. Her sister started at same time is pretty much ready for harvest with frosty buds. Even my 5 week old flowering auto has pungent trichs on her tiny buds Is it common / often that a bud would get this dense before developing trichomes? There’s virtually none

UV rays - Is it worth
So guys, what are your thoughts about UV light complementation? Earlier this year, I havested an auto flower, and she dind't bulk up the trich production. I ended up with big flowers but with no effect at all. I was wondering if that has something to do with my light setup.

We're entering week 13 here. Hopefully, I added adequate pictures for feedback. Should I go ahead and start flushing these next two weeks to prepare for harvest? A few pics and a video were uploaded to show what I see under a magnifying glass. Don't want to go to early or late.

Lower leafs getting yellow tips and spots
I just noticed that the lower leafs are dying, while other leafs are getting yellowish spots. Is this some kind of nutrient deficiency? The leaf with the yellow spots is near the air intake. They didn’t get any fertilizer except root juice since the soil is still somewhat fresh.

Low buds..
Hey growers I have 3 plants and one of them ( I think its gelato) it’s giving me low buds and the pistils are starting to color brown, I’m on 6 week of flower, do you think it’s not going to grow more? I think it’s because of the genetic but can be another thing. Good grows ✌️🏼

Brown shriveled pistils
Why are these pistils turning brown? Some bud sights look perfect but others have these shriveled pistils. Tips of the leaves aren't burnt at all so I don't think it's nutrient burn.

To harvest or not to harvest
Any opinions on whether I should harvest based on the pics I posted. A lot of people will say, NOT YET, wait until all the hairs are orange, then you read on some sites that say 100% orange is too late. I prefer the 'up' high vs couch lock. Trichomes are clear/milky with a few am

Bud mold actions?
I have found some mold in some main buds. (Too humid in my tent) I’ve cut them off. Anything else I can do to stop the spread? Apart from trying to get the humidity down?

Focusing on Full Healthy Buds
I think my baby autos went to Flower way too early and I’m not too sure where or when I made the mistake. With that being said I know my yield won’t be huge (as I am expecting this since this is my first grow) but is there any way that I can maximize the size of my buds?
