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

Help! Time to harvest?
I’m getting nervous as I approach harvest. And I’m wondering if I should chop them now. I’m getting all sorts of bad colors and one looks like it wants to herm on me. Please take a look and tell me what to do. I know I have a manganese deficiency on at least one plant. Help!

Grafting
Hi there, im thinking straight after I chop, when im left with a little bit of stem and a massive root system, to graft a baby weed plant and maybe repot it. What do you think? Can it work?

Need help 2 questions. 1. I started giving ripen on the 40th day of flowering, isn’t it early? (Plan 20 Ripen, 7 days of water, 3 days of darkness.) It will turn out 70 days, according to the passport 60-65. 2.I am embarrassed by small buds? Could it be mixed with low humidity 30-35? But very hard, very.

Are these nanners developing?
Can anyone identify if this is the early stages of nanners? The bright, lush green growth at middle top of picture is what concerns me in particular. I will likely chop tomorrow or the day after - but want to develop an eye for identifying nanners ASAP.

Trying to get an idea of when to harvest?
Would like to thank the kind folks on here who have helped me with my grow. Running out of space in my tent and conditions are not ideal but seeing some nice looking buds. Many lower leaves have fallen off but top still looks good. Thanks!

We're entering week 13 here. Hopefully, I added adequate pictures for feedback. Should I go ahead and start flushing these next two weeks to prepare for harvest? A few pics and a video were uploaded to show what I see under a magnifying glass. Don't want to go to early or late.

Advice for buying a new E-Rig for rosin.
Hi boys and girls, I would like some advice for buying a new E-Rig for rosin. Could someone with experience with a certain model or brand give me advice on what to buy? I search for one to dab rosin that is easy to clean and can connect to a bong to cool down the smoke.

Hi everyone. I noticed browning on some of my buds right after the 24 hrs of dark. Do you think is this bud rot? How bad it is? Should I remove?

Lower braches and tricomes not as ready as top, despite lighting under/on lower branches. Can more light on them help all pistols and tricomes be ready at.
My girl #1 is about a week or so away from harvest. But I noticed the pistols on top are alot closer than the lower branches despite puting lower upfacing lights to make sure the whole plant gets light. My question is does anyone know a trick to get those to develop faster or no?
