    Topping my plant

    Ten days isn’t a good estimate, although in the ballpark... you wanna monitor RH (relative humidity) until 35% and put in jars afterwards. If you wanna cure (which I don’t recommend), 65% RH and then jars, burping once per day, allowing to air out for 15 mins at a time. I find if the flower is...

    Topping my plant

    Yes I’m talking about torrential downpours. If you’re getting random patches of rain it’s nothing to worry about. Regarding the yellowing, I wouldn’t be too concerned about trying to fix that. At the end of a flowering plant’s cycle it’ll turn yellow, red, purple... just keep focused on feeding...

    The best advice I was ever given...

    Again, not here to argue, or really tell anyone what to do. I’ve been doing this a long time. Experimented a bit, outgrown everyone I came up with including the pros. I’ve tried topping, fimming, SCROG, LST, and letting the plant just grow as it wants. SCROG and LST have always given me the best...

    The best advice I was ever given...

    I’m definitely not here to argue, just passing along something that made my overall quality better and more consistent. I suppose you can eventually top a plant without inhibiting hormonal growth, but not until preflowers begin in veg.

    The best advice I was ever given...

    If I were passing out harmful advice I’d quickly retreat, but since this is completely harmless, and in my opinion beneficial for optimum growth, I’ll leave the advice here.

    The best advice I was ever given...

    Yeah, something I picked up over the years. LST will get you the same results as topping if you’re more patient and more attentive. Cutting the top of a plant grown from seed limits naturally occurring growth hormone.

    The best advice I was ever given...

    Never top a plant grown from seed.

    Topping my plant

    I’m seeing your pics and replies from others, indeed these flowers need more time to fully develop. The flowers look healthy, the plants too. I would check the local almanac listing for “first frost” in your area, and cut a day or two before that. You say you’re entering autumn in NZ... you guys...

    4 weeks into budding and this happens, help please. Can i flush it while its budding. I think its an auto flower and ive been growing since nov. 17th

    Leave the fan leaves on, don’t cut them off. They’re the reason photosynthesis is happening. There isn’t a single reason for you to cut anything, just feed the plant cal-mag. Also, if you’re 4 weeks into budding, you probably have more time left than you think. These flowers haven’t even begun...

    Why no conclusive side by side defoliation topics

    Swami talks about listening to your plants, and doing what they ask. Once you get in tune with the needs of your plants, they will tell you which leaves to cut. He’s also an old school hippy, but his logic and attitude towards the plant is very holistic and compassionate. I always think about...

    Wired plant

    Wired plant

    It’s missing the top shoot, it may still side-branch but who knows if it’ll be good. What strain / breeder? Did you pull the seed husk off?

    Slow growing plAnt with discoloring

    This poor thing is fubar. You should not being FIMing or doing much defoliation at all to an auto, especially when it’s literally a baby.

    None of my clones rooted! WTF! Any advice?

    It’s all about the initial cut imo. Cut on an angle, create a lot of surface area along the cut. Immediately into a bowl of water. Pre-soak peat pellets, put them in a small humidity dome. Once you’ve made all your cuts, cover the wounds in rooting gel, and add a drop of gel to each pellet. Get...

    What’s going on with these plants

    I can see the stems in the background, they looks purple / red AF. You probably need to fix a cal mag issue imo

    Flower time?

    You could hang some CFL while doing some LST to get a better yield

    Not sure about my clone

    This is reveg imo

    Should I flip to flowering?

    I’ve been dealing with a similar situation after switching from MH / HPS to LED. My plants had the exact same color on the stems and stalk. I’m increasing cal-mag and everything is turning green again! Your plants could be exhibiting these traits genetically, I’m not 100% you need to increase...
