I could see how that could be a problem, I tend to take one pair of branches at a time. And I normally stop at the 2nd-3rd one, but if it's too much hassle you may get away with it if you have good circulation. The leaves will fall off on their own, you just have to be more careful.

Oh hell ya. As mentioned you may even want to start clearing out some of the small lower branches that won't produce for more circulation as that's getting border line too thick. It looks excellent though.

So I thoroughly screwed up this batch. Not only was I unobservant and let the Violator Kush herm on me, but it pollinated the ladies, the sneaky bastard. On top of that, their health took a nose dive about the same time they always do "4-5 weeks into flower", however, this time I think it was...

I got mine off amazon, for about 120. Be sure to get a fan speed adjuster, they are loud without one.

Disaster strikes again! Apparently it's not one of my grows unless I have a little drama in the mix. The Bubba76 converted to a male and the Violator Kush hermed on me. So now my tent is all thinned out with only 4 in there, I started a couple more expecting to go 12/12 as the Hawaiian snow...

Make sure it's not bud rot, But, I had something similar on my widows, I think it's a mag def "or micro nutrient def" causing the top spear leaves to die then dry out. This give the cola a dry feeling. What do the hairs look like?

I decided on male 2 as it looked healthier and more uniform. Previous nutrient dosages, I may have missed 1-2 early on. 7/28 (Six liters of tap water) The teas are put in two 3-liter bottles, I mix half in each then run a pump line to each for 24 hours. Dr. E 3tsp 4/4/4, Dr. E 1tsp 10/3/1...

For me that's normally the bottom 2-4 sets of branches.

As 420 said, you can get a couple of extra days by less or no trimming when drying. I've had no issues even with 3-4 day dries, if they get jarred with enough moisture for curing. Also you can trim more off if it's drying to slow. I normally screw up here and trim to much, but they come out good...

I''ve wanted to try a mini one for awhile just haven't gotten to it yet. Looks great, looking forward to the smoke report so I know what to expect as I just started flowering mine a few days back.

Circumstantial for me, if they are buried a foot and half under the canopy and aren't receiving enough light I'll consider trimming them. If I can avoid cutting or trimming I generally try to, as any stress stunts growth, which increases time and I'm all about efficiency or maybe I'm just lazy.

If most look like that, I would say you're close, a few more days to week may make it more of a couch lock high. And nicely done. Edit: I take that back I would give it another week, then re-evaluate. There are a few more hairs left then I first realized.

That's the way I do it, why stress the plant unnecessarily? Personally I trim the lower 3-4 sets of branches, as mine seldom get enough light to fully fill out. It does seem like you get more gain on the tops as well, which means less trimming later. :D Keep it stupid simple is what I've heard...

I generally go by pistil hairs so if most have receded or have died, I would harvest. If you have both happening that's a decent sign it's close. However, without pics and strain info I really can't say. I can give you a couple of examples as you may not be able to post pics. This one has most...

I will be trying Dr. Earth as the primary nutrient and mixing it into teas, with molasses, azomite and epsom salt. The dosages I'm still working with as this is my second attempt with organics and first using mostly DR. E. Last grow I decided to limit my calcium supplements because of...
