this is the plant today. the leaves on top are curled down on the sides as you can see but the leaves in the middle are standing out again “turgid”. Is this normal for a healthy plant or is it a sign of excess water in the pot?

This photo shows the drooping leaves in the middle portion of the plant. My first inclination was that the plant needed more water. However, the upper leaves are cupped down and the pot feels heavy, like it has water in it. Therefore I’m thinking now to let the plant dry out some and...

this is an unusual plant and I am just asking for suggestions because I feel sure others have tried this before. I didn’t set out to do these steps but it happened. That is; I topped the plant twice because the pair of shoots created after the first topping were outrunning the rest of my grow...

are these two plants dying, and should be harvested now? the menu says when no green leaves are left. There are green leaves, but not fan leaves, only “bud” leaves are green and only a few of those are completely green. edit; the real question is will these plants continue maturing with the...

this plant gets this wilted look no more than 2 days after watering. (It looked this way yesterday and was watered 12-4. Today is 12-7.) I gave it 750ml on 12-4. The time before, 11-30, I gave it 1500ml (then waited 4 days until 12-4, before the 750 ml watering). And it was wilted no more...

I pulled the plant up this morning. This is the top bloom. I cut off the previously shown bud individually. is that a “banana” in the middle of the photo? I remember reading about a banana but can’t find it now. What is the significance of a banana (on a bud, not on cereal)? edit...

I’m calling this ready. ? another bud same plant edit; this is my first try at identifying a white trichome. These can look clear to cloudy under a jeweler’s loupe, but white in a picture. I don’t know how “white” trichomes get. I see some trichomes on plants that are less mature with...

when the soil level has dropped like in the photo, is it necessarily time for repotting? Should you add soil to the top as the level drops, or do you use the level as an indicator for time to replace the soil? thanks

The plant on the left was last watered 4 days ago, the one on the right 18 days ago. The bags are equal weight. What are the things which make a plant more thirsty than another? The plant on the left shows other ways it is healthier, such as rapid growth and consuming the soil faster. In fact I...

These two plants are at different stages of readiness, and the more mature one has many more trichomes. (The first picture is obviously the more mature bud.) Do buds acquire more trichomes as they mature or do the trichomes themselves only turn from clear to milky? Here’s the second, labeled #1

Is this yellowing of leaves normal in the late bloom phase?

the bag is too heavy, and leaves are yellowing, as you can see. I watered it last on 11-5, 7 days ago, and added superthrive foliage pro nutrients. This was after repotting the plant (same day, just before watering). So the soil around the root ball is fresh. I also placed the bag on “pot...

This plant is not officially part of my grow, but it is maturing under the same lights, and is in the same potting soil; ie same general growing environment. With all that being said, what is your opinion on harvesting? Going from the advice provided, I’d say it’s too early, that is there...

I am very happy with my plants and I hesitate to do anything, but they are just starting flowering and are ready for bloom supplements. I just received the bloom supplement (pictured). This brand was one of the ones recommended. Therefore I feel sure that I can make it work in the ratio that you...

I can’t “refind” the information on dark green leaves, nitrogen, and flushing the soil, but I do remember that the solution to the problem is to flush the soil with water. I also remember plus 20%, but I don’t remember if this is the recommendation for watering normally or if the +20% is...
