WTF ? Just let 75% of those pistils get brown and you are done. Don't dream up problems you do not have.

Textbook fantastic. Keep it up, very pretty plants.

5 weeks from the 12/12 flip or 5 weeks from them showing sex after the flip ? I time from the day I switch to 12/12 and I don't think I have ever gotten this degree of flower development at 5 weeks from flip. Regardless those are Fine looking plants. Whatever you are doing, just keep doing it...

For what it's worth I was thinking of doing a "mini grow journal" w/pics on getting from seed to seedling, first 2 weeks. Just the simple method I have used to get 95% success for many, many years. Old fart, will be 60 this year, ouch! Going to be popping about 80 seed for myself and 2 other...

I never trim. Leaves are there for a purpose and I don't think I can outsmart the plant. I can see reducing some foliage if you have an airflow/mold/mildew problem. Otherwise the concept of "light needs to hit the budsite" is total bullshit spouted by people who do not understand botany...

I've run 3, 4, 6 and 7 and in the end just let them get "stuffed" as you say. It's all good.

I can see this but can't get there. Just a personal grow but I run about a 5.5 X 6.5 foot room and get 24 to 30 oz per cycle. Depending on strain and how good a job I do. In soil. Running a 600 and close to 600 suplimental in LED and CFL. So 1200 actual watts. 36 ft square. Anyway seems to...

Exactly. And you are not a lazy ass, you just have some common sense.

In my experience and opinion it is I think I agree 100% w/this comment, but I'll say it another way. Fill your grow area 100% with foliage. Pound the lights on them. A dozen smallish plants, or 6 mediums or a couple big mothers will probably all yield about the same if you let them run. Just...

All I want to know is why anything other than "seed-in-soil can be improved upon". Oh, yes you can see when they sprout, and then you feel good. Burn one and chill. Start ordering expensive nutes right now. Pic attached is of raw juvenile root. Those almost microscopic root hairs are what you...

ProTip - Put your seeds 3/8" deep in premoistened seed starting soil mix (basically peat) with a healthy dose of pearlite. Keep it around 80F and you will get your plants. Trying to get them to germinate in water or paper towells is serious stupid. Well, you will get them to germinate, but...

Anyone who understands the most basic principles of botany knows about translocation. Translocation, try to get a grip on the concept. http://www.biologyreference.com/Ta-Va/Translocation.html There is NO need for "light to hit the budsites". Just grow a lush, even, green canopy. If lower...

I've never seen such stigma-laden buds as these. Not sure how how stigmas translate into fun but those are stout. Need to take those grows off my signiture, have done better since. Also decided grow journals were more trouble than they were worth, plus a security issue. Anyway, that said, I'll...

If you want to "know about defoliation" get a grasp on basic Biology and Botany. The concepts were worked out in the 1700's. But be a pioneer and re-write basic botany

Well Bryangtho, just kudos to you. I'm 60 yrs old and lots of experience outdoors since 1975 and more recently indoors. BS and MS in Soil Science and Forestry and 30 year career so I am not exactly clueless. Always had success, but this thread caught my interest. I thought another kid with a...

If you want to slow it's growth and stunt it then start pulling off leaves. Plants have no clue what they are doing and respond well to interfering with their processes.

A lot depends on the strain. Sativa or sativa heavy strains tend to be looser, opposite for indicas which are denser. But agree the 2nd bud in your pics has been rolled in kief. Waste of kief in my opinion just for cosmetics.

Damping off is the #1 reason why seedlings disappear from germ to 10 days. Botrytis is the most common but there are a multitude of other fungal pathogens that cause it and they are literally EVERYWHERE. Even planting in sterile medium (unnecessary) you will get damping off if you water...

Flush now. If it's wet now it's just gonna be wet after you flush. It's going to get worse before it gets better. N toxicity is way more harmful than a short period of overwatering

Classic N overdose. Overwatering makes the whole plant droop. Not overwatering. Flush with about 3X the soil volume of water. Tap water fine.
