Hi @Ign33l if they are not ripe at the same time, you can first pick the buds from the top of the plant that are already ripe and leave the buds in the lower area for a few more days until they mature. good luck mate 👍

How is the girl looking? Am I being impatient? ( newbie over here ) Day 17... At this stage more stretch was expected as well as a more vigorous grow. ( light is higher than the recommended hight ) Watering 1L every week or so. She hasn't shown any sign of stress. Thank you.

Hey fellow growers please help What do you think about the K1 an K2? Should I give it a few more days before harvest or should I chop them now? Or maybe just the K1 for now as it looks more mature, let me know thanks

My apartment's humidity is 40% - harvested buds completely dried out in under 24 hours. Should I place my next harvest directly into jars to avoid the mistake I made in my first grow? I would appreciate any suggestions (I cannot control the ambient humidity). Thanks!

Any advice for growing with coco outdoors in the rain? Wet week ahead. I’m wondering if I should increase my feeding from once to twice a day to prevent the coco being flushed too much? Or if I should have a stronger nute mix when feeding in rain?

Currently In Week 8 of Veg in ScrOG Setup - When Should I Flip to Flower?I started a Scrog set up and believe I am in final stages to flip to flower. Let me know if I should flip now? I am afraid of overfilling and suffocating growing buds. Do I need to do some defoliation prior to the flip, or wait until a few weeks into flower? See Wk 8 Veg

SCROG VS KANE •what do you think is the better method over all , personally I find a scrog net very restricting for maintainace and often still have to use supports for the chunky bud . Kane’s are good for weight and light but don’t offer much room for guiding growth?

Any guesses on how long to harvest. I'm starting to see some gold trichomes glistening in the sunlight, but definitely less than 1%. A good chunch of the calyxes from the side branches are swelling and pistils changing orange, main cola still mostly white pistils.
