Hello all! I recently switched to flower and did a big defoliation around day 21 but then went back in around day 28 of flower because I neglected to trim a bunch of inner branches. I think I've stressed her out sooo much! I haven't run into any issues with my feeding and I've insured there are NO light leaks. I'm a new first time grower so I am not sure what a herm even looks like. I went with Brother's Grimm because Mr. Soul is so passionate about breeding and it really feels more like passion than for money and I love that. I'm wondering if I've royally screwed up this run or if I'm just not confused by the shape or these female parts?

She threw a LOT of crazy growth after my big defoliation which made sense. I am trying to understand if these weird looking sex parts came in at the same time which then I'd be more inclined to believe that maybe I caused her to herm with too much stress kind of back to back.

Not blaming anyone or even claiming it's hermed just really hoping someone can drop some ball knowledge on me and I can learn from this. Thanks!

Here's a look at my first grow! I'm 1 week into flower now in my 2x2 100W board

I'm growing this "Montel's Dream Widow" from Brothers Grimm and I have this leaf that is growing an extra blade right from the center of the fan leaf. This is my first grow so idk if this is pretty common, I thought it looks super neat so I thought I'd share!

New grower, just topped and LSTd yesterday. I'm in a 2x2x6 ac Infinity tent with everything the kit comes with. I am not quite sure when I've vegged her long enough?

What would you do or maybe look for to know when you've got the right amount of growth?

Hello all, I'm a new grower and this is my first plant of any kind that I've ever grown. I'm at the point now where the plant is quite big and I feel as tho I should probably do some amount of training on her. I ran into a lot of issues getting the hang of watering coco but now that I've found a rhythm and a better understanding of the plant I realize I havent done any training at all. I've been so hands off trying to focus on one thing at a time, so with watering down and being at my 7th node I think it's time for me to top and do some defoliation and train my branches. I noticed that my branches stretched to get to the light and that cause the nodal spacing to be really long on my branches. I didn't even THINK about this possibility. Nor did I understand that the branches want to stack nodes too just like the main stem does.

​

So now I need to get some good light penetration and make a more productive structure. It's my first grow so I really want to learn and get a good harvest. I'm by no means expecting the max out the potential of my genetics here.

​

I feel like the big fan leaves need to go but I also hear that those big fan leaves are very productive for growth and also I think about how much nutrients and light I spent growing those fan leaves too tho. Do we remove fan leaves if the fan leaf will cause stretch on the branches below? Is it always MAXIMIZE nodal spacing?

​

Long post I appreciate any advice is much appreciated! Thanks all who take the time to answer me.

I just watered and these lil guys came right out of my coco. I'm 31 days into my first grow am I wrong to think about just restarting now? I'm not sure what I'm to do now. I don't have an IPM regimen so I guess I'm not surprised by this. I'm afraid If I don't toss all this it'll carry over to a new grow or something? Idk what kind of bug this is either.

I'm in a 5 gallon pot and I KNOW the bottom has remained over saturated because my roots don't occupy that zone yet. What am I to do? They're clearly thriving
