Curly pistils a problem?

Harvest date?Week 14 of flower. 4 x RQS shoguns. I’ve been flushing for 2 weeks in anticipation of harvest. Problem is, 2 plants keep sprouting pistils and not an amber trichome in sight. How much longer? How can I speed up the final push? Ice water? Darkness? Thanks in advance.

Timing my flush!Just started the two week flush on Friday. Do you think my timing’s right? It was week 10 of flower after 5 weeks of veg on 4 RQS shoguns.

Time to flip?have 4 x Rqs Shoguns. They moved as seedlings to 15l air pots on 12/12/21. They’re between 14-16” tall. They’re currently on a 20/4 cycle, in Guanokalong complete and using their nutes too. They’re very bushy! Is it time to flip? Should I defoliate? I’ve only grown autos before

Topping autos?My next grow I’m going to use a trellis net to control my autoflower canopy. I think topping the girls might help. Can you tell me if it’s okay to top autos and your favoured approach? Thanks in advance!

Light pollution?I’m using the gorilla humidifier in my veg cupboard and I’m worried about the little blue light under the reservoir. Presumably, given the manufacturers target market, the light isn’t causing light pollution. Just thought I’d ask. Thanks in advance!

Over watering? Will she recover?When I lifted this GSC auto from the tent to LST she simply fell over. Prior to that I thought she looked very healthy. Since then her leaves have all flopped down. I'm pretty sure I've been over watering. She's now being supported. Will she recover? see before and after pics

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.

Have I over-dried? Should I be worried?I cut my f. banana autos on 10/03. They dried in my tent with extraction and oscillating fan on for 13 days - Avg rH 55, Temp 16.5 . They didn't pass the 'snap test' but I guessed they were dry. Stored in jars with Boveda 62 overnight and today rH is 54-56. Is this a problem?

pH too high?Week 2 of veg. Growing fastbuds GSC and RQS white widow in guanokalong soil. Using filtered water with pH6.2. Fed guanokalong bat boost + grow nutes half dose for the 1st time yesterday. pH soil metre is reading 6.9 - 7.0. Is this okay?

How long to tent dry and other options?I chopped the 5 RQS banana autos 1 week ago and the branches are still very flexible. The snap test isn't going to work any time soon. Temp avg 18, RH 55% depending on time of day. They're in my tent with extractor and floor fan running 24/7. Just be patient? For how long?

Heat source ?Hi! Any recommendations for controlling heat during lights off? I’m fine with daytime (24-26 degrees) but nighttime can drop to 15-16. My veg cupboard is the priority. The flower tent is under control.

Seed genetics?Hi gang! Take a look at the healthy Fastbuds GSC auto compared to the limp RQS WW auto. Both being grown in the same cupboard, same guanokalong soil, filtered water, 130w CFL, 5w clip on fan, 80% RH, day temp 24, night temp 16. No nutes yet. What a contrast. Thoughts?

Harvest waste?Hi gang! I've chopped my plants and they're hanging in the tent drying out for approx. 5 more days. The lower branch buds are small and underdeveloped. What do you find is the best use for these? Surely they aren't worth curing and smoking? Is there a use for the trim also?

Harvest time?Take a look at my pics. Only one plant is showing amber in the trichomes. RQS state harvest 9-10 weeks from germination. I’m 2 days into week 9. Do you think it’s time to harvest or wait a while? I’ve been flushing for a week.

Cutting down for harvest I'm right on the verge of my first harvest and there seems to be several approaches to cutting down the plants. Should I cut and hang the entire plant or cut and hang individual branches?

Not so fat banana?These are pics of an RQS fat banana automatic 6.5 weeks in. I feel it’s a bit scrawny at 50cms. Also, her leaves are really yellowing up. So are the 4 other fat bananas. Is she unhealthy? Today I just fed filtered water even though I have been using half dosage of organic nutes

Yellow Leaves Normal?Hi Everyone! I’m just starting week 7 with my RQS fat bananas and northern light. All autos. RQS state harvest in 9-10 weeks. All the girls have 3-6 low level fan leaves going very yellow. I assume this is fine but I’d love some feedback. It’s my first grow.
