I wouldn't do it like that. You need at least one fully flattened leaf to act as a solar panel but as they get big and flatten take their predecessor off...
I would say that you pinch the lower nodes that are branching off so as to promote more emphasis on the buds that are "connected" to the stem. That's my 2 c...
That is 100% male. No hermie at all it's a dude. Kill it. I mean if you want to get crazy you should look up taking and storing pollen because that bud there has really tight structure for a male and it's rather large and seems to put on weight fast from your pictures. If you were to breed...
just remember when you run those rooms together if you're running lights in them the veg room light will shit into the flower if you don't have an in line filter or something to block the light in between teh rooms.
Man, my very first grow I was lollypopping (don't do it anymore) and I was looking @ all the shit I trimmed off and there were nuts just like it. I was on my first grow and I had payed money for all this shit so I was gonna let it happen and fix it later. Well I let it go and not a single...
I wouldn't stress it. It's the internet after all. You keep on here learning as much as you can. I'm on here to socialize mostly but I still manage to learn something almost every day.
HAHA I've only got a few grows under my belt. (3rd grow decided to go perpetual so IDK what you would say I'm at (4 years later)) But I'm pretty sure I've never let a single plant really become mature. For instance... I don't know what an amber trichome looks like and I'm pretty sure you guys...
I know your feels man. I try and explain it to people all the time. I've come up with this saying: No life is sweeter than one nearly lost. I think that is my best sentence to describe war and the events that happen during such.
Clones look healthy above the rapid rooter. I pulled a bit to see if there was resistance and there was none. Instead they all come out and were rigid, white, and hollow. There are a few tiny clear worms on the rapid rooters (fungus gnats?). Rooters were soaked in tap water (hard as shit)...
My clones look more healthy than any clone nice had ever so I was confused why they weren't showing roots so I pulled a bit to see if they had give and they all did... When I pulled the clones up everything below the surface was WHITE, HOLLOW, and RIGID(I assume that is from the clonex powder)...
