Thanks, we'll see. I don't consider these buds anything special. But they are my babies! :p

Thanks. I'm digging my little wi-fi microscope thing. Works great for trichomes if you have something solid to set it on that is half an inch away from a bud!

Middle of week 10 (day 75) the big moss Critical back left is about ready, showing some amber trichomes on lower buds, and more on the tallest buds. The other critical front left and the two GSC on the right are going to need just a few more days. Lower bud on moss critical: Soil Critical:

A macro shot from my cheap usb microscope (soil GSC)

These are conspiracy free hemp slippers :P

The moss is definitely holding its own. I could try larger fabric pots next time for the soil. These are only 3-gallon.

I had one of those in the 70s. I still remember making some black by smoking through them, then thinking it was awesome to smoke that stuff lol.

Here are some better side by side pics (first 2 are GSC, second 2 Critical): :

I've been leaving fan leaves on if they stick out the side and don't block a bud site, especially during veg. Otherwise, they eventually get plucked. But I think I am ending up with a few too many lower bud sites so maybe will try to lollypop more aggressively to 1/2 next time, along with a...

I plan to strip a little more of the bottoms on my next grow. I've been doing about 1/3rd also. I feel like I could be a bit more aggressive clearing out the competing internal foliage too. I suspect it might be just for appearance that they strip so much of the leaves for the giant bud...

oh, one question: I see in a lot of youtube videos of autos ready to harvest, that most of them are just buds and almost no leaves outside of some sugar leaves. I didn't defoliate nearly that much. Is there an advantage to heavier defoliation during flowering?

Thanks! For the trays, search amazon: Gro Pro NX Level Pot Elevator - 13" You can't see it well in this pic, but the moss critical (back left) is much wider. It grew more aggressively from the start and demanded serious LST, whereas the soil one grew a little slower and I just let it alone...

Some updated pics 8/20 (one day from week 10). The bud is from the soil critical on the left.

Update: Starting flush today nearing end of week 9. I'm starting with a bit of GH FloraKleen in dechlorinated water and will taper that off. (5ml/gal, aiming for moss: 6.0pH, soil 6.5pH.) The Trichomes are half milky and half clear, with the tallest buds showing 5% amber. The GSC may be...

Starting week 9:

Snarky Puppy

thanks!

Thanks! The below bud is from the critical, mid week 7, 4th week into flowering, and is starting to frost up. I have two or three weeks to go I think. Although the GSC are budding slower so maybe they will take longer. (EDIT: first signs of flowering started 7/12, so I'm in the 4th week 8/4)

LOL.... Its long form is Slab Hardcheese ...inspired by Mystery Science Theater. see Youtube: search "mst3k the many names of david ryder" I think the episode is "Space Mutiny"

In all these pics the two left are the Critical FB auto fem which were bonus from weed-seeds, and the two on the right are from GSC auto fem from NorthAtlanticSeed (fastbud packaging). Just for a comparison, I am not LST the soil versions, just the moss. But the critical moss grew like crazy...
