I lollipop mine - cut at least 1/3 of the lower branches (unless there is a really thick one) a couple weeks before flowering. it will shock your plant and you might not notice much, if any, growth for a few days... totally normal. A couple days before flowering strip the bottoms of the lower...

i had some feminized plants get shocked back when i was learning to grow and they went hermie. I saved the seeds just for shits and forgot about them for about 8 mo - 1 yr... first question is if seeds from a plant like this will be feminized, hermie, either, or have slight tendencies to go...

different strains = different bud qualities. of course, how you treat them can greatly change density and other properties. I would just try to research the species you grew and see what other people have to say, maybe even contact the dispencary and ask them what the finished product should...

thanks mikey. saw youre in CO, im from littleton

good stuff, thanks for your help. 1 more question for those of you reading... Do you chop the entire plant at once or take part by part depending on how ripe the nugs are?

thanks for the insight, im thinking your right, more light = better chance for growth. I am going to let them go for another few days at least and keep an eye on em. In the mean time, what do you think about feeding them anything? i was thinking some molasses wouldnt hurt but do you think its...

so i just read over that and the second question sounds kinda dumb / obvious but i thought i read that somewhere on another site... seems like there would be no such thing as too many trichs

I have 3 aurora indica going on their 9th week in flower (8 week strain). they are in soil and have been under a 400w hps for about 6 weeks then i realized i had 2 bloom spec T5 fixtures (10k lumens each) that were not being used so i threw em in there to help out for the end of ripening and...

thanks for the help. ive been using a 10x rock lens to check the trichs and after sacking up and buying the radio shack 60x-100x mag i could see (after a pain in the ass time spent zooming / focusing / realizing 60x is too high) some amber trichs and we are ready to go! :hump:

will lollipopping a week into flowering delay harvest a week? I did so and im on the 9th week of an 8 week strain, curious as to why its taking so long.

any other input here? will lollipopping delay harvest?

Thanks, I think I will. just paranoid they wont reach their potential - you know how it goes.

sorry about the crap iPhone pics, hoping it will give you an idea about the state of the plant tho. Also there are a couple that are only in their 3rd week of flowering you can see in the background -pls dont take those into account =). thanks guys

I have some indica that is in the 9th week of flowering with no sign of amber trichomes (seems close to 100% cloudy at this point) but at least half the hairs are brown and most fan leaves are all yellow, its aurora indica under 400w HPS in a soil pot in my closet. It is from seed and is...

no suggestions? c'mon guys i'd love to hear some opinions on the best techniques
