Clearing lower shaded bud sites
Twalker92
started grow question 6y ago
Should I clear away some of the little bud site lower down on the plant so she redirects growing power to the ones up top?

answered grow question 6y ago
absolutely, depending on how much longer you want to keep her in veg. You can even do topping if you feel adventurous. But at least some lollipoping and defoliation from the bottom is needed! best of luck

Drying Best Practices?
Drying ganja for the first time. Buds are in the dark with temp steady at 70F. Humidity steady at 55%. Trimmed fan leaves, but left all sugar leaves. Plant is stinking like wet grass on the 3rd day of drying. Will this smell break down or am I needing to make some adjustments?

Excessive pistol development?
Does this extreme pistol growth appear potentially normal? Or does she look stressed out. Just concerned about this one. No signs of nanners that I can tell. Unfortunately it is very difficult to inspect this plant thoroughly without damaging it. Plant appears very healthy.

can this be considered the first signs of flowering?
can a photoperiod plant show the first signs of flowering without changing the light mode? Well, is the appearance of a large number of pistils the first signs of flowering?)

Extra light in week 5 flower
Got a new timer but messed up setting it up. Plants got 16hrs of light in week 5 of flowering. Turned off lights as soon as I noticed.(5am) Was on 11am-11pm lights on. Should I let it get 12hrs of dark now and resume 12-12, or let lights come on as normal at 11am?

Hermaphrodites or bananas?
Finished week 5 of flowering- just wondering if anyone sees signs of herming or bananas. A plant hermed next to these, so I'm hoping i caught it early enough, before it got a chance to drop any pollen. The first 4 pics are of 1 plant, the last 2 pics are of a different plant.

1st time grow question
Just finishing my 7week of flower. My PH in runoff has been steadily climbing. I’m using a supersoil with an occasional lite bloom nute and molasses. Today I put in 5.9ph and runoff was 7.2. My runoff ppm is about 730. Is the PH climb normal towards the end of flower?

How long to cure?
How long do I need to cure my cannabis after drying it? It's been drying for 2 weeks in 50% RH and got a bit dry. I put it in jars and added 62% packs. Current humidity inside is 58%. How long would you say it would be good to smoke? Do you think I can give it a go already?

Watering with lower humidity in flower
6 weeks into flower of my 1st grow. Things are looking frosty. As I lower my humidity as I move along, should I increase my watering/feeding? Rt now it’s about every 4 days. 5 gallon fabric pots with soil. Usually just over 1/2 gallon is all they want with some runoff
