Growdiaries needs a hall of fame for stuff like this.. This is awesome in a sense because it's a good learning experience for others and more so for you I'm sure... Don't do this.

Lol, you left almost nothing, the plant will spend a week or so refoliating itself, so flowering will be delayed

How do i tell when to flush my plant?
1 week because it is in coco.
But i haven't got any good references on how to tell it is a week from being done. First plant and not sure how quickly the hairs and trichomes change.
Few hairs are already brown, Trichomes are turning cloudy.Week 11

My plants do not match up with other Bangi Haze plants. These were two free promotional seeds i received from a seed bank . They seems to be a hybrid as far as i can tell. My question is did this happen to anyone else and do you know what seeds they could be?Week 6

Got some tiger bloom coming and it's a 10 week flower so plenty of time. Being my first grow I guess my questions an easy one..Hows it looking? I'm going to start at half nutes and increase until I see a bit of nute burn then back off. Very small increases.Week 10

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys.
A beginner question here.
Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom.
If I have to cut them when would be the best time?
I'll leave this question open until Friday.Week 4

Do I need to feed liquid nutes during this grow? They're in soil which claims to be water only but recommended 7 gallons and they're in 3 gallon containers. Big plant has slight N toxicity on leaves. I have fox farm trio on hand, should I start 1/4 strength? Just big bloom? Wait?Week 7

Remove new side shoots at the top of the canopy?Autoflower is currently in week 6 (week 2 of flower), should I remove the circled new top growth or leave it because it's at the top and mostly getting light?
Plants already have 10+ bigger colas each but don't want to accidentally harm bud growth by wrongfully removing stuff.Week 6

Can anyone spot (if possible yet) by this last pictures if it’s a male or female? Looks like a “drop” shaped pre flower but I don’t know if it is a pre flower or new sprout with leafs. I’m having a lot of ramifications on this one and saw this happening on other areas.Week 10

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks 😎6y ago

I will switch in 3 days to 12/12.
Currently i am driving my lights by approximately 150w and 10000lx and a distance about 90cm/35in at the middle of the canopy.
What should do when switching?
Should i drive the 150w for 2 more weeks or should i turn them to full power?Week 12
