Bud hardness
OutForRealanswered grow question 5 years ago
It's more the PK that is making bud harder at the end of the flowering. Silica will help the plant to be stronger , so if she is strnger she will have a better yield but without silica the basics to get buds fat and hard are the PK booster
Wicked_Stixanswered grow question 5 years ago
I recently did a lot of research on this and I came to the conclusion that the best bet is not to use silica in flower. It deposits into the cells of the plant so sounds like you can't flush it out. I decided to stop feeding it when I switch to flower.

I have had many fluffy buds with silica.I don't think it makes buds harder.genetics and climate play a huge role in that.

Harvest or leave in the sun for a while?My plant got way too little light inside when i tried a 12/12 light rhythm. now it looks like the trichromes are getting milky already even though the buds are tiny. Should I harvest to avoid losing thc or leave them outside in the sun for a while still so they might grow ?Buds. Not fattening

What to do? → BF Runtz Auto - Day 42 - RH70, 80F in BioBizz Light SoilOn my last post, I was advised I have N tox, so I watered w/o BioGrow, just BioBloom and it's gotten much worse. The runoff EC was 1.5 (watered with 0.8, runoff pH was okay), so I’m guessing it's salt buildup. I plan to flush when this watering dries out—any thoughts?Buds. Not fattening

Any input? Small nuggzzzzMoby dick Auto has been slow but steady on the bud growth, way slower than other genetics and this is the only plant from this strain so no comparison.

Fast flowering strain takes long to start flowering.Why is the honey cream which is the plant that was noted as the fastest flowering plant of the three strains I have, the one that's the furthest behind in the flowering stage

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?Buds. Not fattening

opinion on bud maturity ?About 6 weeks since flip from flower and wanted to know if the orange/browning of the white pistils means that the bud has already reached its max size and will only ripen ,but bud sizes look pretty small to me does this mean yield will be low ? or am i just overthinking.Buds.
