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 👍

Has anyone tried growing in perlite? I know I'll need to monitor my nutes. I'm not seeing much difference than growing in co co except the co co seems to retain more moisture.

LST, defoliation and topping advice..
Plz look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going ok so far but think I need to wait a bit before topping? Anyone got a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower am I rushing things? More Defoliation?

Can the color of your nutrients cause the roots to be dyed. My MicroGro nutrient is dark red and the older roots are colored a light red. More roots continue to grow and the roots which haven't started touching the water in my hydro system are still bright white (see photo).

Hi guys! The problem is, in general, the plant in the growing box has grown so much that from the lamp to the top of 1.5 cm, the temperature there is quite high, will it somehow affect the plant? And how can I fix this if I have 5 weeks and this is main-lining with the main trunk

Okay, she’s compact with tight inter nodal spacing - I’m thinking of fluxing this lady! I’m nervous because I don’t want to stunt her, but feeling brave. Any advice or tips? I’ll consider mainlining instead!

I have this diaried for harvest 2nd week of August, based on breeder data (65-70 days flowering time). I turned to flowering light cycle 47 days ago. I read somewhere that breeder flowering time starts post stretch, so I added 14 days. Have I calculated this right?
