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 👍

Does exposing lower bud sites that were previously completely shaded through defoliation make them grow bigger? Providing of course the plants are healthy. Thanks!

I’m a new grower and this one is now 18 days into vegetation and I haven’t added any nutrients yet. I’m wondering when the seedling will have used up most of the nutrients in the soil and I should start supplementing with commercial nutrients.

Cut leaves off?She is a auto. About 62 days in. Just started to show a few white hairs yesterday. Should I cut some leaves off and open her up for more light and air? Getting tight in my tent. If so, should I do it at night? In the morning or does it matter? Thanks.

Gorilla Glue is now 60 days old and shows only a handful of preflowers. Some sources say only time will get her to harvest and adjusting photoperiod will not help with auto genetics. Should I move her to 12/12 to induce flowering or is that pointless? Any advice is appreciated.
