    Captain Redbeard "Big Bud" autos.
    2 tents.
    Soil grow.

    The strain is described as 100 days to maturity but these look ahead of schedule. Still too many clear trichomes but not 37 days longer I don't think.

    Should I trim more?

    Are these leaves providing any nutrients to the flowers?

    They are turning more and more

    I don't use soil any more but those here that do will often suppliment with amendments, teas or top dressings to minimise or eliminate the deficiencies your experiencing.

    I wouldn't trim any more but I'd use some LST to stop the buds from leaning against each other and get the light and airflow all around those buds.

    The bottom pic looks like it is a couple of weeks off but it's just a guess.

    Yes, your leaves are now providing some nutes to your buds.

      Thanks.
      I've been giving them tea but have switched to strictly flowering nutes a little while back.

      I have 3 fans in each tent. Lots of air circulation going on.

      I see you grow in Coco. I'm interested in trying. Why good tips and/or links where I can learn more? I grow autoflowers.

        I've never grown autos so won't be much help there.

        Growing in coco is great. I highly recommend it.

        I'd start researching how to grow in coco here on GWE in the tutorial section. It is one of the best resources that I've found and a lot of work goes into keeping it updated with the latest research and industry practices.

        You will get better yields than soil indoors under lights once you have it sorted.

      I bent them over.
      Lowered the light and much more even light meter readings. Duh. I still have one in the back that needs it.

      Thanks for that LST tip.

        That looks like supercropping, not LST....

        The tall buds around the perimeter probably don't need to be bent over.

      They didn't break. Just bending.
