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 👍

I don't have a good magnifier to check the pistils. Can you tell by the curling of them if it is ready to harvest?

Anybody able to tell me how much longer I should leave my tangerine dream for? I’ve looked at other diaries and a few have been harvested while pistils are still mostly white. I usually harvest when they’re mostly orange/brown but I think this is my first Sativa dominant strain

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.

It's my first time doing a manifold. I topped twice as per the Nebula method. These plants are built so low... Should I be defoliating the lower stuff more aggressively? How should I proceed at this point from a pruning/defoliating perspective?

ScrOG / Lollipopping / Defoliation I'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation. I would love to get some feedback! - What I should bear in mind? - Does my setup look suitable? - When should I start with what? - Any good resources?

I am looking for an organic replacement for Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow Big. I like the Big Bloom product being organic but really need a nitrogen and PK replacement as we consume a large amount medically. I prefer something that eliminates the need for flushing. Thanks

Yo bros and sistas! Don't really have any issues ;) just wanted to ask you about SCROG nets you personally utilize/d and can reccommend with a clear conscience to other growers, no DIY stuff (which i will probably turn to after the ones i used) for ex. Secret Jardin= total shit

Topping or LST after 1st topping Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

Wondering when everyone starts lst on their autos? Debating to train or let her do her thing. I was think between day 21 and 28 to start manipulating the growth a little bit, super careful not to stress her at all.
