Day 66 and chopped the two tall lanky ones, the other pheno which was much shorter and very bushy has a while to go. Will update later on totals and will keep updating the one pheno that’s going to require a little more time ! Also just to update on loosing smell and some brown spotting that started when I tried to flush plant, this turned out to be what I think was just a shock to the plant, the strong smell has returned and it’s a very strong sweet + skunky smell. As well as being extremely sticky. The two phenos I chopped won’t provide a bumper yield but the other pheno ( short and stocky ) will provide a much better yield than the others put together! Obviously at this point that’s a supposition but if you could see it in person you’d have no doubt !
The trichomes are starting to cloud up but I’ve also noticed a little brown spotting on a few leaves and the smell is not nearly as strong as it was. I’m a little worried I’ve done something wrong. It’s getting close to chop time and the only thing I changed was I stopped feeding and started watering with just plain RO water. It concerns me that the smell has dissipated so much. They have sugared up nicely and you can definitely tell that I’ve got two tall lanky plants and one short stocky one. All three seeds from the same batch and the smell is the same.
I’m concerned because the plants have lost a lot of the smell that was coming from them even though everything still looks pretty decent, but since switching to straight ro water I’ve noticed some brown spotting, cal/mag deficiency?,and the smell decreased significantly, help !
Heyr friend, I saw your diary and it seems you have Nitrogen Toxicity, that’s caused by over feeding and it stops the smell of buds. Just keep watering and everything will be okay. If you see some brown spots, just add some calmag but don’t overdo it, she needs to recover. Hope I helped, good luck! Nice plant 🌸😊
@sir_isO, yeah! treat her like the dirty whore she is!!!!
Let HER work for you!
My favorite part is the end when I give them just Ripen and she blooms color!!!!
haha, jk i treat them with mighty respect. but really u can be savage to em!
Dude, simple observation is useful (along with your intuition).
People say flush plants, but it's not natural. They flush plants, often, because they use like imbalanced and commercial nutrients, soil mixes (always kinda lacking). So they very often use excessive nutrients (usually biased to this or that element)...and then you start seeing that their plants have CLEAR nutrient issues, burn, etc. I mean, it's about the most common thing I see in EVERY diary.
Those plants aren't actually healthy and have biased nutrient buildups, so people religiously, like a cult believe what some guy who uses far too much nutrients and NEEDS to flush says...and like a "virus" (fun fact, what they call viruses can't do what's claimed and aren't contagious, except mentally), it spreads.
If the plant is healthy, progressing nicely, don't change much about what you're doing. Idgaf what people say. But instead of say, flushing, just gradually lower nutrient levels up to harvest, instead. I'd say the same sort of thing about ANY stage of the plant's life, regarding heat, lighting, nutrients, etc. Because big changes, larger differential, means more "volatility", stress.
But yeah, I agree with Elgar in that you likely have/had nitrogen excess, which in turn affects other factors... so in the future, in flower, you might want to lower your nitro inputs.
@sir_isO, yea the bro science is strong in the flush!
but i've read on the internet that in blind taste test the flushed plant is never the tastiest.
I havent done one yet (although my last week of GH Ripen does a controlled flush i feel)
I checked you noticed that comment, and I'm super inebriated, so I'll try to explain it in Disney terms.
There's your princess, right? So, she looks nice hey, smells nice too. You've been treating her well. Now, you decide to not give her food and attention anymore? Are you retarded?
How about just slowly letting her down?
Like when you're about to smoke her, and you can't afford her anymore....
I know it sounds cruel, but it's still better than what other guys do.

@sir_isO, yep makes sense, just my first attempt at indoor growing or any growing for that matter since the 80’s ! lol, so appreciate the comment and advice.
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
Please feel free to check out/show love on some of my recent grows (Tropicana cookiez/Venom OG/Banana Mango )
Also… I have a lots of growing tips on my profile page (comments section)
@Vio_La_Grow, thanks for stopping by and commenting on the grow, everything is hanging in the drying room right now and just a couple days to go so looking forward to finding out my totals and results! Ck out your diaries and great job ! I’m looking forward to having a few under my belt and getting better as I grow !
