Should I cut this plant??

[Soulfreeze]

The outside view looks like trash. All four plants get the same water, same nutrients, same light.
But close up the trichome's look good.
Was waiting for amber, would some still change to amber after cutting?
All 4 plants were started within a week of each other. 2 on the right had more LST then the 2 on the left.
Defoliation to all 4 was done like 2 weeks ago, causing the 2 on left to explode.

I would not, it's got waaay too many white pistils and the trichs are still mostly clear. The plants have many weeks to go.

The two on the left, are they supposed to be flowering? Whats your light schedule? Im just wondering if those two are photoperiod and if youre aware of that.

They look ready to flip and are exploding in growth because of that. Id check for budrot in the back right corner one with dead leafs that looks like its prone to that. Whats your humidity?

All indicao autos, same pack of seeds. 2 are Northern lights, 2 are Tyson: Gelato 44.

58-77 humidity. Just watered last night, currently 66. Need to turn on dehumidifier.

I was LST'ing all 4 like every 3 days.The 2 on the left did that after I took all their giant fan leaves (4 inch wide leaves) and left them alone for a week or so. The shoots in the center of the plant are like 12-15 inches tall.Bud sights everywhere.

I spread the outer branches last night to allow more light and air in. That's when the pic was taken. I'll take more tonight to see the 12 hrs difference.They went from needing 1 gallon of water every 3 days, to needing 1 gallon of water every other day.

The front right bud plant was bushy until it started budding.

Was watering/feeding at 6.5ph but then drain off was 7.5+. Dropped water/ feed ph to 5.9, now drain off is about 6.5.

How old are they right now, the two left ones?

7-9 days behind the 2 on the right. Sprouted May 29th.

New photos are 24 hrs after watering.

Bud closeups are from the oldest plant.

Royal queens says 8-9 weeks for harvest but found a grow diary that took 12 weeks.

Currently at 72f and 63 humidity.

Breeder estimates are at best guesses, at worst flat out lies (lol). They are almost always longer than stated, remember they’re trying to sell seeds!

Yea see thats what I thought I caught, something wasnt right. Ive seen this before. Especially with two small autos to the right and two monsters to the left. This happens. You got some photoperiods mixed in to your seeds or the auto gene didnt take hold and you need to put them on 12/12. 12 hours dark and 12 hours light schedule to initiate flowering or they wont flower.

Autos should start flowering on day 30 from sprout, are you saying they are 10 weeks old? There are new autos that are meant to flower later like 8 weeks but they are new strains. New strains so likely not the case theres not many strains like that. There are a ton of autos tho and what I said happens often.

If there autos then I might as we'll let them grow, tents 8 feet tall. No point in 2 ft tall plants, right?
The 2 on the right looked the same as the left before flowering/budding. I think all the LST/defoilage stunted them too.

Might also be the genetics, supposed to be a Tyson 2.0 strain. The 2 attached pics are from 2 different grow diaries. Both claim to be 11 weeks.

If the left ones are 10 weeks old Id turn the lights on 12/12 schedule. The autos will be fine its the photo period youre trying to keep (right?) If you dont, its going to just keep growing until its too big to flower.

You could cut it in half once or twice but its not good for them, they can grow pollen sacs. They also can still explode in growth and overpack a space even tho you pruned it back to a tiny twig.

...

That's gonna be strain dependent. I can't seem to get amber trichomes on the Green Crack I started from a seed. They go from clear to cloudy.

 

[Soulfreeze]

Update, buds still mostly clear.
Hella sticky.
Smells mostly of Diesel with a hit of ........dirty diaper.lol
Been giving just water to the front budding plant.
Didn't want to feed it in case I need that but it.
Can I feed till it's 50% cloudy and then start flushing for a few days?


Think the left plants might actually be photo, instead of auto or hella slow to transition. Have a New light coming Saturday.

The pic of the 4 plants, is these 4 when they started.

 

[coreywebster]

There's no need to starve any of them.

I don't see anything that's ready to chop.

But I'd be looking at that back plant and poking around in the buds where all the dead leaves are, just to be sure there's no rot in there.

Might just be bad feeding practices, but I'd check none the less

You feed it …. Til it’s done. Period.


It’s a living thing that continues to absorb water and nutrients. Flushing is for toilets - think about this …. What other plant “ needs flushing “ ??
As long as you control feeding properly , there is no need for old YT tricks.

flushing is a myth unless its to get rid of to much chemical fertilizer. But you aint movin nothin out of the plant by starving it and drowning it.
Looks like it may have a magnesium defiency or maybe ph. looks hungry for something. maybe a bit of everything. But at this point the plant is eating up magnesium and calcium at a pretty good rate. probably using a bit more earlier, but when they start budding the need for mg/calcium goes through the roof on a very many/most strains. theres exceptions, but generally weed is mg/ca pig. Do they flush tobacco plants?? Nope. Has anyone ever even heard the slightest whisper of tobacco being flushed? I use tobacco as an example because its smoked. Though has some really nasty stuff in it.

 

[medidedicated]

I smoke tobacco, I remember hearing they pick it ripe for similar reason. If you pick it before it breaks down a quick search says its harsher.

 

[medidedicated]

So 11 wks now and that plant to the left isnt flowering yet? Am I the only one seeing this lol or misunderstanding something.. Its not going to flower without changing light schedule.

i flush my tabacco, but thats just me, but for me flushing isn't just pushing clean water thru said plant, last few days or so i take note of the lowest leafs that show good color, i then treat them with only my algae water until harvest. its complete bro science and i could be completely wrong with it, but i will admit i still do it

Definitely not an auto

Still not ready OP here is a strawberry cheese auto bud first pic is at 12 weeks still has immature, unreceeded pistils,calyx not swelling to true potential yet second pic is 2 weeks later at 14 weeks as you can see all pistils have changed colour and they are starting to curl into the now swollen calyx. This plant went 1 more week. When it's at this stage I'll check tricomes. Another thing to note when they say milky tricomes it's more an off white salt look to it and the the head will be swollen and about to fall off the stalk.
