In the last few weeks, buds gain the most weight. They are sticky to the touch and can be very smelly.
Should I remove yellow leaves during flowering?
Yes you should – but with the correct technique
. A proper thinning will remove 20-40% of the mid to upper foliage every 5-7 days. Removing these fan leaves opens up light and produces better air exchange to the lower canopy.
When should I trim fan leaves during flowering?
Schwazzing involves stripping your plants of all fan leaves beneath the top two or three nodes at two key times:
Once at the start of the bloom phase, and again at the beginning of the third week of bloom
.
How long is flowering stage indoors?
When you grow indoors, flowering will begin once you switch your lights to 10-12 hours of darkness. For most cannabis strains, the flowering period will last about
7-9 weeks
, although some sativas require even longer for their buds to mature.
Should you prune Autoflowers?
Training Your Autoflowering Weed
When they start flowering, prune them for up to a week into the flowering stage and do NOT top them
. You shouldn't prune an auto-flowering plant in the same way as its traditional counterpart.
Do Autoflower seedlings need darkness?
Autoflowers don't necessarily need a dark cycle
. You can grow them under an autoflower 24 hour light from seed to harvest. Many people do just that whereas others feel that they get slightly better results with a 20/4 or perhaps 18/6 autoflower light cycle.
How far should I keep my grow light from my plants?
When it comes to HID grow lights, it's best to keep them
at least 12′′ (30cm) away from your plants at all times
. The stronger the light, the further you'll need to hang it, so if you have a 1000w you may want to hang it at least 15′′ (38cm) away.
How do I know if my plants are getting too much light?
If your plant is not getting enough light, the most common sign is the yellowing and dropping of leaves, stunted leaf growth, elongated stems, and a dull-green color. If your plant is getting too much light, then
its leaves will have singed tips, burned patches, or will be falling off
(yikes!).
Is 82 degrees too hot for grow tent?
That includes making sure the temp in your room isn't affecting the temperature of your water or medium temperatures. Common grow room temperatures include (but are not limited to):
Clones/Seedlings: 72-82°F
. Vegging Stage: 68-78°F.
Do I need a heater in my grow tent?
Heat produced from lights is generally not enough to ensure your growing space is at the optimum temperature, so
secondary heating is usually a must
!
Is 60 humidity too high for flowering?
It's important to lower the humidity levels to 40-50% during this phase.
Any humidity level over 60% could potentially damage the plant

You don't want to use liquid nutrients every time you water
—use them every other watering, or two waterings on, one off. It depends on the complexity of your soil and the health of your plants. Too many nutrients will damage your plants. Giving weed plants the proper amount of nutrients requires careful monitoring.
Should I water more during flowering?
Water daily for the first week to keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
After seven days, you can cut back to watering the flowers just a few times per week to encourage deep root growth
. While roses and other flowers look pretty with water droplets glistening in the sun, wet foliage does nothing good for plants.
How tall should you be before switching to flower?
This method is usually employed with indica strains that are packed tightly together in the grow space. When using this method, plants should be flowered when they reach a height of
between 15–30cm
.
Can yellow leaves turn green again?
Chlorophyll gives a leaf its green color. When the leaf loses its chlorophyll, the plant abandons it and begins to absorb leftover nutrients from the leaf. That's why once the leaf turns yellow,
you generally can't make it turn back green again
.
Should I remove fan leaves before harvest?
Usually, growers trim the fan leaves weeks before harvest, which is a period that leads to senescence, a phase in the plant cycle when the larger leaves start fading away.
It is safe to start removing these dying leaves and continue until harvest
.
Do buds grow at night?
