Its all a learning experience rome wasnt built in a day and just like everyone else i have a burning passion to grow delicious medical quality flowers and any liable advice is always needed.
Everything is green and healthy so far im excited to see what this plant can do. Looking better and better everyday. I ended up cutting my fabric pots down to fit the amount of soil i have just so some better airflow can let these babies breathe
What can i say the maui is charging it handle my little heat problem this weekend alot better than my TSA plant (trans siberian auto). I topped her once and have her tied down im gunna try and let her veg until the TSA is almost finished then ill flip the light schedule just so she can grow up big and the autoflower still gets 20/4 for most of its flowering stage. Im thinking about scrogging this plant im going to let it veg for a really long time so everything can grow up sortve tall so when i flower it i can make it a giant. Ill vaeg it until my tsa is harvested than flip it.
THE GIRLS ARE LISTENING TO NEIL YOUNG
This question isnt for this plant but i already asked a question on the other diary. I think i overwatered my autoflower and i was wondering what the best way to speed up the drying of the soil to maybe counteract that?
Today starts week 6 and couldnt be happier everything is green and lush and i cant wait to see what she can do since im training her and shes supposed to be a tall sativa plant
Week 7 of veg no serious problem other than small leaf discoloring at the bottom. Im still planning on vegging this plant until the autoflower is harvested then ill flip the light schedule. I wonder what the flowers will look like on this plant i can never find a good picture of this strain.
Alot of tops growing i think girl mightbe a nice bush when i flower her. I wanna veg her until the autoflower is either finished or just about to be finished.
Week 9 day 1 of veg and shes a friggin bush and im still gunna veg her aslong as i possibly can while the autoflower finishes or gets closer to finishing. The perfect mixture for tent mates btw lol a photoperiod in a loooong veg and an autoflower.
Week 10 had to go away for four days so severe underwatering and looking down but maybe in an hour or two they will be happy again. Back to 100% and looking strong cant wait to flip this one to flower.
Everything seems to be healthy and lush its turned into a friggin bush and im super excited to flower this plant i know this is going to be the real gem!!!
Week 12 starts tomorrow but heres some new pics and shes growing pretty strong. Cant wait to flower this girl. Super perky but the leaf stems are turning reddish any idea why?
Leaf stems and little bit of the stalk turning reddish any idea what can cause this? Everything seems to be healthy shes in purgatory waiting to be flipped into flower lol
I have a plant that was showing red stems and from what I understand there are some plants where this is just a natural part of their look, whereas many others are receiving enough phosphorus, once I added a strong pk booster to my plants the red stems faded. I used foxfarm open sesame but there are others like remos astro flower which is basically the same thing in a liquid version.
Possibly up the PK and also check the reports on this strain in case it's normal for it to redden.
Happy growing to ya. 😊
sooo i gave her the last bit of stress i wanna give her im gunna let her veg another week then shes getting flipped to 12/12 but she was super tall in the tent so i tied her mains and supercropped her inner mains idk what will happen its an experiment lol she might turn into a man eating plant stay tuned follow along :)
Just tied her up all spread wide open so she can get maximum light penetration straight down mainstreet. I dont know what this plant will do but damn i cant wait to find out its either a mistake the way she is or shes going to produce some serious flowers.
This girl is looking like nothing ive grown so far. Shes stretching a bit but mostly the lower tops shes looking like shes gunna produce some serious weight i hope i didnt mess her up the way i trained her still has some red stems on the leaves any idea what can cause that ?
She really filled the 3x3x6 tent still has enough head room try and count how many bud spots have popped up its crazy i hope i didnt sacrafice quality for quantity with how i trained her. Excited to see how she turns out
Alot of bud sites im excited to see what she does. Cant even count the amount of buds i hope they will fill in abd chunk up nicely. Already starting to frost up everywhere.
Wow shes getting so frosty its making me a little impatient but thats ok that just means ill enjoy the fruits of my labor that much more.
P.S. ITS SO STINKY I CAN SMELL IT FROM MY FRONT YARD😱😱😱😱😱 but thats ok.
Next time im using a scrog net this is crazy everything is gettin heavy so i have to tie it all up
Smells so good i cant wait to chop her down and start another it seems like this plant has been growing forever but im excited i hope she keeps swelling up.
Still growing strong smell is amazing im super excited to harvest this girl im just not sure when im going to do that. I hope it comes out good. Any advice on harvest and dry n cure is appreciated
I need some different opinions on harvesting,Dry,cure how do YOU do it? Do you dry or wet trim? How can i make sure my buds will be dried and cured to perfection. I wanna know everybodies different methods. What temps and humidity do you prefer to dry and cure in? 🌱
I live in a desert climate with usually low humidity and high summer temperatures. Keeping the larger leaves intact during drying slows down the drying process. Otherwise I run the real risk of my buds drying out too quickly and perhaps ruining them.
Hey there so for me this weekend i was really pressed for time...things dont always work out exactly how you plan. So the 1st plant i cut down piece by piece, and removed its big leaves and hung it upside down on a line, unfortunately i ran out of time and had to harvest the rest the next day. The second plant us an odd ball, has been since day 1. So with her i still cut 1 piece at a time but i removed fan leaves and gave her a small wet trim as she was a plant with too many leaves popping out of everywhere. Then again hung her upside down on a line. Now theyre all hanging in a nice dark low humidity and relatively warm place...and i check em each day to make sure theyre not getting too dry too fast. Once theyre dry its another bit of trimming and off to the mason jars for a good long cure.
Happy Harvesting, i love the Maui Waui strain. ✌️💚🌱 oh btw you may wanna try keeping your humidity below 50% and temp is on you, if im able i try keeping it about 65 degrees...but really you sometimes just have to make due with what's available to you. Also with my mason jars when theyre curing i open each day shake it lightly and let them breathe for several minutes. 😊
Hello ! In the caribbean I have high and low relative humidity from a day to another so I always use a fan or 2 straight on the drying plants and It can take 5 days ot 12 depending on the RH but the fans are close so a good airflow in a dark and mostly dry place. When the RH is too high during 3 or 4 days then I turn on my AC in the drying mode like 2 hours a day to help but when doing that I loose terpenes ( can blow half of the taste sometimes). Then when the plants are dry I remove remove my leaves then I put them in jars and let the jars in the dark , I open my jars 15min a day every day during a month (If I can fight the temptation) , if I open then a sunny day then it's cool and if I opend the on a rainy day then I put a fan on the buds. And I dry the whole plant at once , not the buds on a net ! I hope it will help you 😁👍
Getting fairly close, im seeing alot of milky trich’s but still some clear and about .5% amber in there. Had to spread her open so the lower stuff can get more light and the upper stuff doesnt get too close and get too much. Wanna give her another week or two. ☠️🎃 comment and let me know what you you guys and gals think about the look.
Its super skunky and fruity like mangos definetly an anytime sativa so far. I havent tried a cured bud but i dried some testers and its definetly a good medicine. Ill definetly do another run with this strain after i get my new light and new line of nutrients to try, i think i wanna try the remo nutrients line, i think thatll be good to test out.
Sorry for the short update but im super busy lately. Will add more info soon. 7 oz. dry. Dry trimming is alot harder than wet trimming but the buds are super sticky and potent as all hell one bowl and i can feel the effects for hoouurrsss its crazy good smells like fruit.
Deer or construction netting works and is readily available inexpensively. If you wanted the net, which to this day baffles me. If plants are strong and LSTd well, they need no support during flower. Scrog just seems like extra work for the canna hobbyist who can’t get enough garden time.
@Experimentgreen wrote “ Hey there I love the auto name so clever.”.I believe she’s being facetious, but I like the simplicity. I’ve grown a bit weary of clever names that are meaningless. But if you demand a fun name for Hawaii x Maui, how about AhhhLoha?
NOTE: the strain name AhhhLoha is the intellectual property of Shhh! Brand Seeds, located in Washington DC
@Experimentgreen
No we are not lunatics for loving the aroma of growing plants more than burning ones! See that?!! - common ground!
My friends include comics and talk show hosts, and for us, being facetious is not an insult, or even a bad thing. It is a form of comedy, and of course not everyone enjoys it.
Standing in line to checkout yesterday with a few others, one person at the front of the shop was screaming into her phone, to the distraction of everyone. When she hung up and looked as us, I turned to the group and said “She seems nice”
@growdoctordc,
When I think of facetious I think of someone who is like cracking jokes at funerals...or someone just rear ended really bad and a cop says oh well at least he gave it to your backside instead of the front. You get it right...someone who cant take any serious situation so they have to joke in order to cope or something like that.
@growdoctordc,lol you're funny doc. See I told you I just had a bad day...little did you know that crazy lady on the phone....was me! Bum bum bum....ahhh the plot thickens.
Still putting out white hairs and still a good amount of clear trichs so i wanna let her go as long as possible. Im not a fan of the light im using i think im gunna get a bloomboss 600w led light
Nice photos this week Nomad! Those plants have to be close to harvest. Any changes from last week? How are the trichomes looking? You are going to need to devote several hours to harvest!
I usually flush with filtered water, then after a day or two I put them in the dark for 3 days. After that I just snip off all the branches, trim the bigger leaves and let my buds dry for as long as necessary. Finally, I do a serious trim and put everything in mason jars. I usually open, roll around, and allow the nasty stuff to escape the jars a few times a day. I can usually smoke the buds in a few weeks.
Last grow I didn't let the soil dry out enough before I harvested the plant. I don't think it hurt the buds, but it was a little messy.
@Nomad, Let me know what you find. I'm going on bits and pieces I've picked up over the years. I'd bet a lot of it is just folklore.
I know it won't hurt, so there is no harm.
@Quexos, im not sure im gunna read up on it a little more but ill probably cut it as soon as it starts to droop from being dry. This plant was a test to see what different training methods would do to it. So one more experiment before harvest wont hurt lol
She looks fantastic! All of your bud sites are at similar height. You could easily flip her now and keep training her as she stretches. If she is a tall sativa, you are going to have a tree on your hands!
In the big scheme of things it won't matter if you wait. Every time you grow, you have different ideas that you try to implement. Sometimes they work, sometimes, not so much. Waiting won't hurt anything at all. After you harvest this grow, you can revisit some of your decisions and decide whether it was worth it. That gives you wisdom for your next grow, which will be awesome as well!
@Nomad, Blomm 600w LED/Cree Light. I found some information on the higher wattage version, but not a lot about this particular light. I bought it on Amazon. I like the light so far. It doesn't run very hot, and it fights nicely in my tent. I finished my first grow using it for flowering and I'm really happy with that harvest. This is first time using it all from seed to harvest.
Yikes! You are right, those fabric pots do not retain moisture at all. They don't look too bad. They will perk up in a few hours. Update with another photo please.
@Nomad, Are you able to pull your plants out from the tent? I put my girl in the sink for a flush once a week so I have to take her out of the tent. I'm amazed at how different they look! That intense light really changes what you see. Try it when you are taking photos sometime.
Your plants look great! However, they look like they are several weeks into flowering. You might want to change your journal entry to flowering.
My first grow I switched my journal to flowering as soon as I changed my light cycle. However, she didn't start showing flowers until almost 3 weeks later. Your girl is showing a lot more than that!
@Nomad, I'll go with stoned. I still think both of the plants are flowering. Either way, they both look really nice. The tall one is going to have a giant cola when you are done.
@Quexos, no buds yet on the maui but that pic is of both plants in the same pic and if thats not the reason than its because of the lighting in the pic idk lmao
@Nomad, I'm really confused (read stoned). Picture 3 clearly shows some nice young buds. Am I missing something?
I like the idea though. I have an auto growing and I think and I think I'll start a photo when my current auto is about 4 weeks from harvest.
@Quexos, i usually wet trim but i wanted to see the difference but really i wanted to let them dry out a little with the foliage on it and ill take them off and trim them about half way thru the dry. But when i wet trim it seems like they dry out too fast my rh is about 53% right now
@Nomad, I'd say its more of a preference. I know that you plants will dry slower due to all the leaves, but that is a good thing in dryer climates. I'm a desert dweller so I like having the extra leaves depending on the season.
My biggest beef would be ease of trimming. It seems easier to trim the plant with the leaves fresh as opposed to wilted and wrapped around the buds.
@Quexos, thanks brother im excited to see it trimmed up also i decided to leave all the foliage on it to help it dry a little slower ive never hung the whole plant with the leaves and all so im trying it out.
@Quexos, they seem to be all maturing at th same rate i mght chop the tops and let the lower buds keep going. Theres so many buds all over the place lol this was an experiment and it seemed work in some ways
@Nomad, My tent has flaps on all 4 sides. I can reach into 3 of them since one side is against the wall. Hopefully the ones in the back are at the same stage or less mature. You can harvest in stages if need be. It depends on your harvest/drying set up.
Honestly though, if they are already milky, you won't go wrong in your plans. If you think the buds are still filling out then go for it.
I wish I knew how long it takes trichomes to go from milky to amber. It would help with planning the end of the grow.
@Quexos, thank you yeah definetly close i wanna give it another few weeks we will see what happens. The trichs are getting milky but i have the 420 scope and its damn hard to use it cuz its so small and sometimes hard to focus and i dont wanna check the buds in the back because that would mean i have to lean over the frontline of buds and i dont wanna damage my trichs lol i havent touched these buds once really maybe lightly when im tying it up
@Quexos, ive heard about that im sure it works because alot of people have done it but idk if i could do that to my buds but if you experiment ill happily watch from here lol
@Nomad, I hear that. So far none of my grows have been stinky. The cured buds have smelled great, but I'm not stinking up an entire room in my house!
I've been talking to another grower, Bluesbreeder, about budswelling. Instead of not touching the buds at all, he is experimenting with intentionally pinching the buds to make them larger. He directed me to a few articles to read. I might try it on a few buds since I'm getting ready to flower. I'll have to read the articles first though.
@Quexos, lol no complaints from me the stinkier and stickier the better. The smell is becoming so amazing its intoxicating to be in the room i just wanna sit there and sniff it up but im not touching the buds with my skin at all im trying to preserve the trichs and trich heads
You are finally on the home stretch! Gratz! She is a fine looking specimen for flowering. She is going to stretch quite a bit in the next few weeks. Keep that in mind when determining your available space.
@Quexos, yeah finally lmao i wanted to wait for the trans siberian to finish so i can re use that soil to transplant the maui into the 10 gallon smart pot
Those are some heavy looking buds! The photos look like the stalks were falling over from their own weight! Since you opened up the canopy, have your decided to harvest in stages?
@Quexos, also when i let her stretch her arms i didnt really give her enough time to bulk up i kindve just said screw it and flipped her so now her lower branch arms arent the strongest ive seen but theyll do. Its hard for me to check the trichs in the middle and on the back so im guessing another week or two
@Nomad, You will get a lot of kief when you start your trimming. I have a screen on my trimming tray. It collects underneath. Frosty buds like that will produce a ton just from handling the bud stalks while trimming. Yummy!
What a nice looking tent! It's kinda like the Christmas Card I've always wanted!
I don't think you'll be sacrificing quantity at all. You might not have those giant colas that you see in High Times, but you are going to have a lot of really nice buds. The quality of the buds are going to be stellar no matter what.
If the buds are ticky enough, you could probably press them together to form a giant cola!😂
