    Harvesting (just buds or leaves and stem)

    I am harvesting my crop. I want to know if people bother with the bigger leaves and stem or just the buds. I have been cutting off the leaves because I think these will slow down the drying by not allowing airflow and may help prevent bud rot. (I have hung the whole plant upside down) The...

    Looking at trichomes

    I purchased a 60x-100x microscope and set about trying to see the trichomes. The problem is (and no one has explained this fully) what part do you pick to view them. If you take a small leaf from the bud and view that, will that give the same picture as the rest of the bud? It's hard to look at...

    Chop the main cola?

    I have 7 flowering plants (5 1/2 weeks). One of them is too tall for the grow room and is getting too close to the HPS light. I though of chopping the main cola off which will keep it away from the light. Is this a good idea? Will the other buds take over some of the energy? Also is it normal...
