At what weeks did you do your major trimming?

Around the 3rd week of veg, when they start getting really bushy, I'll remove a lot of the lower stuff and some of the small branches and leaves growing in the middle. Basically enough to let the air circulate through the plants.

Then, about a week into flower, I'll remove most of the stuff below a foot from the canopy top (meaning, the canopy is around 12" deep). Most of the branches I remove is stuff that'll never make it to the canopy top.

I could've vegged longer and filled out the entire net, but I was doing a quick grow.

I don't know if what I'm doing is the best way, but I've always (smartly) trimmed, and always had really good results. If I was growing outside, I wouldn't touch them, but for indoors, you have to work to get the most out of the limited lights available.

Any rot in that bud @JSB99

Don't think so. Lots of circulation, and the bud is rock-solid.

I'll take a close-up in a few.

Lets hope not ey. I would rather ask and be wrong than not ask and let it go unchecked
Give that rancid leaf a little tug. If it doesn't pull out with no effort your probably good.
I just get suspicious when I see something only on one cola.
looking great other than that freakiness.

Leaves are all holding tight, even after a few good tugs.

Well that's good to know its not rot. Last thing anyone wants at this point.
Im only guessing here but somethings stopping nutrients getting to that part of the plant. A bit of damage to the roots somehow? or a branch or just a cold spot in the corner of your res? I imaging you would of seen something similar before if that were the case though.
Either way its close to the end so it may just be a mystery that goes unsolved.
Damn fine plant pics man. Worthy of a breeders catalogue.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words

Yeah, it's really odd because this is the only cola on the plant, and it's right under the light. Last grow I had a few colas that looked a little overcooked. They were all fine, but it was kind of odd. What's happening here is different than what I saw then though.

Are you weaning off your fertilizers? Could be a sun spot if it’s right under your light.

The bud doesn't show any signs of mold or rot, and again, it's the only one doing this. One of the pics shows the surrounding colas from the same plant. All the others look totally normal.

Do you smoke cigarettes? If you do, and go in to your garden after one, it could be tobacco mosaic. Almost looks like it.

Nah, don't smoke

Yeah, I'm giving straight water now. I would think that anything effecting that one would be effecting the others, which are close by. One of them is in the exact center, and it's a meaty, towering cola. But that one's totally fine.

Wierd

define straight water? you always want to supply the immobile elements... my guess is the cola directly under light has highest rate of photosynthesis so shows immobile def first. top of plant indicates immobile def.

Meaning plain tap water (70ppm).

I'm checking out the odd cola, and it smells like it's already drying and curing. It has that cut grass smell to it. There's another cola starting to look similar, but for the most part, the rest look and smell normal. I think I'm going to go ahead and chop her down. The others are looking pretty ripe as well, so I might harvest everything.

Oh yeah, I have been. I've got a 30x and 100x. Things are pretty milky, but no ambers. I usually wait until I see a few.

I just cut down the Girl Scout Crack, and the buds are HUGE! The discolored cola looks rotten. It doesn't pull apart easily so it might not have gotten too far. But I'm tossing it. Probably some kind of root issue.

I'll post pics of the booty after I rough trim.
