Hi everyone..my name is April. Im new to the site and a first time grower. I have really benefited from a lot of threads on here..so grateful for all the resources out there. If anyone can give some feedback on the below items that would be great.
I am in the 7th week of flowering for my Island Sweet Skunk and Big Bud. I was gifted these plants in the vegetative state and was not prepared at all. But Ive made do and the plants by and large are looking good. As this stage is one of the final I have a lot of questions and concerns..
1. I read somewhere that pruning the plant would help deliver more energy to the buds, so I did it last week. Then I read somewhere this week that this isnt wise and could stress the plant and possibly set you back in time. Its obviously too late but does anyone have any feedback for me for the future?
2. I heard the golden rule to know when its time, is when the pistols are 2/3 red. Im worried because my Big Bud hasnt really changed color at all and according to what I read about the strain it should be ready in no more than a couple of weeks. Do they just literally turn during the last week or so? When do you stop feeding them food normally? I heard the last couple of weeks. But if I dont have red hairs should I keep feeding her? Her colas are HUGE but not really much of any red yet. Any thoughts or advice? It seems on this site most ppl look more at the trichome color. I just bought a scope from Radio Shack and cant see that well because the size of my space is pretty small and the plants grew a lot more than expected. But by and large the trichomes look pretty clear for the most part..maybe a little soapy but not too much.
I have some more questions but I think thats enough for now. I really appreciate any and all help! I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!
