So I'm roughly 2 weeks into bloom and have one plant that towers over the rest.i was thinking about super cropping it to even out my canopy a little bit I've looked this up and I'm wondering if it's safe to do at this point I know it's gonna stress it out and stunt it's growth a little bit

Have ya got the space to bend it over a few days rather than supercrop Gewber? Tie it too the back wall or something and every 12hrs or so pull it down a few inches? The stem might be pretty tough by now, but 2 weeks in you should still have some vertical growth to come. I've supercropped at that stage and sometimes it works well, sometimes it'll just stand back up like nothing happened by next morning . getting them tied down seems to get the best results, but it takes up more area
I was thinking about cropping it over and tying it down at the same time so it didint pop back up.

When the pistils start turning brown & start curling and growing back into the bud, start checking tric colors.no need to barge in but I have a white widow growing outside it started to flower about 5weeks ago grown in promix bx garden soil and cow manure in a 3gallon smart pot outside brown hairs are starting to appear pretty much everywhere and i still see lots of white pistils also but it seems like the buds are growing but not that much here's a pic of my plant at the moment/ do you think the buds have a long way to go still or they will stay this way ??? sorry i am new to this so

They'll chunk up nicely if your patient . youll see some bulking of the WW in the last week or two, after about 9wks of flowering. I've done a couple of WW in and outdoors and they bulk up real nice not long from where your girls are at, keep em well watered

so them starting to have a couple of brown hair is completely normal at this stage ? sorry i am a noob lol I was thinking if i see lots of brown hair they will stop growing and all but hopefully all the empty places will get full and end up with nice colas as for me I always water the plant when it needs it of course

LA Confidential at 46F. So she's coming up on her 8th week. DNA says 7-8 weeks flower, I guessed more. I'm really not sure how people just when they have a certain percentage of amber trichomes. Do I have 5%? More? I'm trying to determine when to start flushing. I'm running in coco / perlite and wanted to flush for up to 2 weeks. I also want the stone to be more on the couch lock side.

Hey Dobe, they look pretty fresh / young too me man, the clearer looking they are the less goodies they have inside . it won't happen over night, you'll know when it's time from looking at them.. I see whatcha mean by "5% Amber" but I reckon it's just as likely colour from something else making the tric look that wayz, like a hair or somethin underneath. They'll go plasticky solid looking all over before they get hints of amber. If you want a good couch lock I'd leave her for till around the day 70 mark ️good luck buddy I'll have a look for your journal

Ok, nube grower question... I couldn't find the soil I used for my first grow ( an organic soil/compost mix). So I grabbed a bag of organic compost from Nature's Care. I put this straight into 5 gallon buckets without mixing in with soil... Did I just screw up? Do I need to go get some ACTUAL soil and re-transplant my two girls?
(Trying to upload a picture of the compost I used but can't seem to figure it out on the mobile app...grr)
...maybe... I know it's a miracle grow brand... Please disregard that...

I'd transplant as miracle grow is not great for MJ based on Nute deployment which can f*cl your plant all up. I'm pretty comfortable in telling you I don't think you'll find anyone supporting miracle grow or any of Monstanos products. If you can't find soil, get coco coir and get yourself some organic nutes.

Dobe, I always start flushing before I have amber show up, I'm at nine weeks and have been flushing for almost a week. Your plants will continue to mature without feeding them. That's how you get a real good flush, the plants will fade (yellow) and use the last of what's available within the plant.

Let me ask this a different way... If you are growing in soil, would you grow in straight compost? Or would you do a compost/soil mix?

I would start in soil and move to a mix when you transplant imo.

Thank you, I appreciate your responses! I think I screwed up because I transplanted into straight compost....

you have at least another 2-3 weeks to go ... she is going to be a monster i can see already she still has to swell .... keep blasting her with as much PK as she can take .. .damn thats a ahealthy looking plant for outside ... and so white
dont get fixated on the pistils being brown ... thats doesnt mean a thing ... its the trichomes that are indicative of harvest time ...
ive seen brown pistils as soon as 3 weeks into flower ...
