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

Hermaphroditism?
Hi everyone, sorry super beginner here. My plant is developing flowers that I can not determine if male or female. Is this a sign of hermies? Or just normal female flowers 🤷♂️ Hope the picture can help

To harvest or not to harvest
Any opinions on whether I should harvest based on the pics I posted. A lot of people will say, NOT YET, wait until all the hairs are orange, then you read on some sites that say 100% orange is too late. I prefer the 'up' high vs couch lock. Trichomes are clear/milky with a few am

Are my plans hermaphrodites?
Hello My buds are growing slowly and I have noticed some weird formation at the branches that look like male pistils. My fear is that they have turned hermaphrodites. Any comments? Thanks

The bud site towards the lower middle of the plant. Should I get rid of them if they aren't keeping up with the taller buds or should I leave them to see if they catch up? I have upto 8-10 nodes per stem due to LST training

end of flowering
what do you think is the best way to understand when it is ready? I don't want to rush things too much, but theoretically the green gelato automatic should end in 70 days

Do you think it's ready?
It's my first time growing autos and i'm trying to figure out when to cut it. She is still growing some white pistils but most of them have turned brown (and most trichomes are white with a few ambar), so i don't know what to do. Do i wait or harvest? Thanks for your time!

Hey Community, maybe a stupid question. I'm currently in week 8 of a Gorilla Cookie Auto which is supposed to be ready after 10 weeks. Now I'm wondering if it's normal, that those "buds" are still not flowering? I checked if its hermaphrodite but I don't thinks so ...

Flush or not to flush
This is the beginning of week 9 thinking of Flushing the larger pup. I want to flush for 2 weeks. Open to all suggestion. I know that bud's do continue to swell during flushing so I'm not worried. Just want to time this just right . Which should make a total of 12 weeks.
