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

Autoflower: Harvesting in Sections
Hello growers! Some of the lower branches on my ladies are starting to grow into the light and are developing, but the top is close to being ready. I know it’s possible with a regular plant, but is it possible to harvest an auto flowering plant in parts without killing it? Thanks

Obligatory harvest question, good to go, or no?
I was thinking of harvesting, but what do you think? It's a little wispy still, but the trichomes and pistils look ready. Opinions greatly appreciated!

Virgin CBG "Pop" My Peppercorn
Ever grown out a CBG plant before? When should I harvest, mostly cloudy, some / no amber? CBG is said to be the mother cannabinoid, if it degrades, "amber trichomes" will it still be CBG? or will it turn into THC/CBD/CBN/CBC or any of the other many cannabinoids? Cheers, m0use

Airy buds after drying
For some big ass buds, they dried down a ton. There isn’t much there as far as weight. Can you think of any reasons why the buds would feel quite dense wet, but now that they’re dry they are very airy. 👎🏻Dried 6 days 70 F RH 50%, light air circ and exhaust fan running. Thanks

How Long do Autoflowers Take in Different Conditions?[
I wish I found this earlier to add to my question above, but any thoughts to the validity/science of this statement attached? The claim is flowering starts in autos on vegetative maturity/size. Horse pooh, or does hydro(speed) has some impact on when autoflowers start flowering?
