MG Orchid for Veg
MG Bloom Burst now

Lollipopped this week,
How long before I should start checking trichomes?
When should I stop nutes and flush?

There is some curling, I think I let the light down to close before lollipopping. But I've adjusted and have no crispiness.

Cloned a few this week, they are outside don't have room to Veg and flower inside.
Do clones need Nutes?

I hear ya goodolebob! I have three plants 8" x 24" closet, the light is above three plants about 20". I have a fan on it directly, but should have spent the money on tubed light with fan. Have add two blowers to vent into attic. They were getting up to 100F when vegging, but I made some changes to venting. I now have light on at night, and darkness in day. That has help, daytime temps run around 73F, but first morning temp after all night with 600hpos is around 86F. I see no way to get it lower at this point. What will be the effect of the temp on yield?. Thanks for the input.

Fluffy, Airy buds not as many hard nugs. As far as trics the plant will tell you..get a good jewels loop i leave mine until 15 % amber..each strain is different no short cuts live and learn ...

"Fluffy, Airy buds not as many hard nugs" Is that good or bad?

They go from white to amber right?

Clear than milky than amber

I can turn the light down to 450w. To lower heat, is that a good exchange for bigger nugs? or is it too late?
