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?

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

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

Cold is coming and flowering stage is taking longer than expected. What should I do?
8 week auto but I'm approaching week 11. There has been very little growth in the last couple of weeks. Night time temperatures have been about 10'C. This week, night temp will go down to 5'C. What should I do? Pistils are just starting to turn brown. The 2 pics are 1 week apart.

Hello, I am currently on day 12 of growth Do you think I should use any other fertilizer besides root fertilizer? Thank you for your comment.

When to harvest?
2 more weeks? Trichomes are transitioning from cloudy to amber. I'd say 80/20 cloudy to amber.

Can my 10/14 light cycle be causinh my plant to mature more quickly?
Assuming that longer nights causes cannibas to mature more quickly , could my plant be maturing ahead of schedule ? I am running 10/14 i know i will have a decreased yield but could this also explain orange hairs earlier than usual , i added fan and moved my plant ?

Burn?
What is this? I added UV light to my grow tent and this plant reacted in this way. None of the other 3 plants had any issues including the sister plant. Tops of the colas with this issue are dried and crispy, undersides seem pretty healthy.

How long until the harvest for this smaller Gorilla Auto1? (photos with tricomes)
Howdy, I need help to understand when to harvest. I upload photos taken with a microscope to show tricomes maturation. This is the hardest thing for me, because I suck with colours, to hold the microscope still.

Is this the final week?!
I think we've made it! It's been a long slog and a serious learning curve but by golly she's looking delicious and she's swollen loads in the past week or so, her lowest leaves are going yellow despite being fed every other day, is she getting ready to go lights out? 😍

When to harvest. Amber trichomes but white pistils.
I was surprised to find about 10% amber trichomes on each of these 4 plants today. 2 GMO cookies and 2 Purple #1 by Dutch Passion. One of the plants has some amber trichomes but almost all of the pistils are still white.

Browning pistils in early flower
Hey! Should I be worried that some of the bud sites have some browning pistils this early on? I have already moved the light away, and turned the fan down. It is not hot in the closet so it's not heat stress. I also watered with only water last time, with 10% run-off...

Buds below canopy
What should be done about those buds that haven't grown high enough? They are there right under or above the net. Leave them to grow or remove them completely?

Seems ready way before advertised flower time
Ready to harvest? Not something I usually struggle with but breeder suggests 9-10 weeks flower and I’m just coming to the end of week 8. I upgraded my light recently and it advertises reducing flower time but this seems extreme. Thoughts? Pics are a few days old as well.

Harvest time
It's been around 8 weeks since flowering and to me the buds seem ready. However, these white pistils keep appearing and makes me think thank it's not ready. What do you think ? I also started watering just plain water, but i think i should go back to adding nutrients.
