I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

Hi! :) Trichomes are pretty clear, although some milky ones appears, buds have almost all pistils brown. What do you think? Should I harvest today, or next week? PS: Why some trichomes doesn't have that "head"? Under microscope i can sometimes see a lot of them without head.

Hi fellow growers! I’m concerned growth is still exceptionally slow. All variables are remaining consistent, there aren’t big drops in temperature, ph is correct etc. I’m only watering every 4 days or so, should I be doing anything different?
