At the time, I thought I was in the first week of flower. I now think this was the transition week out of veg, As a result, I prolly introduced my red spectrum flowering lamp too early - on Day 30. My next grow, I'll let the beginning of the stretch happen under the veg lamp for a few days before I install the flowering lamp. Keep the plant shorter under the scrog. I prolly wasted 1.5 to 2 inches to that miscalculation. Rookie mistake, no problem. But liking that there's room for improvement. Reducing light burn will be 1st priority next grow. I think I may have even thought of a way to rig the lamp to go even higher than I have it now, but there's time for all that.

TinyTenterstarted grow question 3 years ago
I thought she would need about 84 days to finish. So that would be in about a week and a half. But as compared to pictures I've seen around here, she looks like she may need more time? Right? I just don't want to start flush early. I'm growing in coco.

I’m not sure how many weeks she’s been flowering- but from the photos she has about 3 weeks left. She’s shooting a ton of white pistols straight out, she’ll definitely pack on some weigh in the coming weeks. When I grew this is took closer to 10 weeks in flower- buy boy was she worth it! I’m a soil grower, so not sure if growing in coco speeds things up. I’d wait 10-14 days and then think about flushing. 🌱

@TinyTenter, Yes humidifier can be used no problem at all
TinyTenter
TinyTenter
@Ferenc, Would be nice. Thanks. Those buds are starting to really fill out now. I'm thinking it will be less than two weeks til its time. exactly when I don't know, but I've gotten comfortable using a jeweler's loupe, so I'll just let her tell me. I'm concerned that the main cola will be ready for harvest first before the rest of the plant. The plant's development has been like that up to now. Not sure if I'm comfortable with partial harvest. This is something I need to decide soon. Will prolly spend today setting up the dry tent somewhere or deciding whether to just dry in the current tent and take a week off from growing. Big decisions loom. Will try to have the plan ready in a couple days. I did decide how I was going to try tp hang them in the tent - IKEA S hooks! Right on cross bar. The little ones should do great. I have a lot of them. Maybe a velcro tie to the hook. I also decided that I would partially trim the plant right before harvest (large leaves at least).. Why? Pictures! That's why. LOL. I want to see her naked. Buds only. (not too concerned with bud quality beyond them not getting bud rot at this stage of my learnings.) Then I'm gonna chop the four/five main branches and hang them in the tent. Also need to figure out how to manage humidity in the tent. Is a humidifier in a dry tent a good idea? Thanks for your support. :D

Issues? Looks great to me. That's some amazing work there! But seriously, what issues?
EBxAH
EBxAH
@TinyTenter, oh wow, there's some names I don't know. I'll definitely check it out. As far as your question...are you using choir or soil? If just choir then make sure the choir is ph balanced before and you're all good!
TinyTenter
TinyTenter
@EBxAH, I didn't know that! Thanks! Does gypsum work in coco/coir? And as for what I've learned, there are just so many great resources to draw from - it borders on frustrating! There's so many. Like this site. GrowDiaries helped me a bunch early on in seedling and early veg. And Nebula Haze's blog on GrowWeedEasy about growing in a mini-tent was priceless. I don't spend a dime or second on this project if it wasn't for that amazing blog. I'm basically copying most of her setup. Same pot, lamps, tent, medium and nutrients as that blog. Only minor differences - I have my filter outside the tent - and in reality, it has smelled like weed in here for over 15 years - don't need that much scrubbing. My cat doesn't care. LOL. But it does a mostly great job that way. And I didn't top at all like she does. I half broke the stem and trained. It grew a knuckle. (Scariest time of the grow - lots of self-loathing for being a risk taker). And I scrogged, she doesn't. The other website that was essential was CocoForCannabis. There's lots of soil advice out there - but coco advice is harder to find without that website. I followed his feed schedule. Just didn't want to use as much PK boost as he does. I wonder if the whole PK boost thing is realistic anyway from a scientific standpoint, but we'll see. On YouTube - BeginnerBudz, FromSeedtoStoned, MrGrowIt, Everest Fernandez, etc. If you like doing this, you can spend all day.. And I did. 😜 I wont have as much time in the future, but I won't need as much time because of this experience, so I wanted to invest as much as I reasonably could while still having time to vape and chill with my cat. LOL.

@TinyTenter, yeah, I guess one would only see that in person. You really know your stuff man! Yeah, not anything you can do about your light height. Bummer. About your salt issue...is it alot? Gypsum helps with that but I'm betting you already know that. Beautiful plant man. Again, great job!

@Ganja4Show, Thank you so much! It was great fun and I was able to do it because people like yourself in the growing community are so kind, encouraging and generous, particularly about how to grow.

@Ganjafarmer420flowers, Glad you liked it. As for the trichs pictures, I want to do that. She has purple trichs so that would be fun to show. I have a digital microscope, but I can't keep my hand steady enough to take a good picture. I'm looking for some better options/strategies in order to do that. But I don't want to spend too much on it, I also don't want to remove bud in order to take a picture. Have any ideas?

@Ganjafarmer420flowers, Hey buddy! πŸ˜€ I started thinking about doing this end of April. Started getting all the stuff first week of May. Planted my 1st seed mid-May. Thought I was growing in soil, didn't feed for 1st days, she was dying, I ended it. Next two seeds failed to get out of the pot for different reasons, Next one I started well but tried to transplant on Day 5 and that crumbled and failed. Then I started this one on June 1. That's the whole growing resume. So I've had 5 first grows, What matters is that this will be my first and only HARVEST! 😻 I just studied online alot. This was all done by Google and YouTube search. For example, yesterday I was listening to this to get me ready for drying. www.youtube.com/watch Good stuff in there.. And what's perfect about her anyway?.. She's showing every light burn symptom imaginable. Even foxtailing. But I get what you are saying and thank you very much! It's been a ton of fun. GrowDiaries is great social media because it's about something you are DOING instead of about someone you are BEING, like Facebook. This growing community is a community of doers who share advice about what they are enjoying doing, It's great! Once I get more experience, I plan to share the love around too! Bro, I think I finally got that flash/trich picture you wanted done, Check my last photo Week 13. Let me know if that's what you meant.

Power to the scrOG πŸ†’βœŠπŸΌπŸ₯…
TinyTenter
TinyTenter
@ChefDan420, Agreed, my friend! Agreed! Had to go for it. 36 inches total height, except for the 5 or so that the crossbar and lamp assembly takes - so make that 31 inches. If you want to give minimum 8 inches clearance from the lamp (I'm doing better than that, thankfully), you're down to 23 inches. Take 9 for the pot. 14 inches is the maximum permissible height of the plant. SCROG is a great way to turn the Sears Tower into the Pentagon. At one point I was SCROG and LST at the same time. Velcro ties were clutch, because they stick to the pot AND the trellis net. Gives you many training/options angles. Thanks bro. Will check your diaries,

@@BigBudzz, OK. Will do.. Thanks buddy. Yeah. Fast Buds seems a solid enterprise. Looking at their ChemDawg and Lemon Pie, But I have three BF Wedding Cake Auto seeds to go through. (I bought too many.) Then I have a Fast Buds AK Auto I want to grow that was a seed company freebie. So we're looking at another year, maybe, before I buy more seeds? Good luck with the grows. I'm gonna come check your 2nd grow to see what you mean.

@TinyTenter, you defo have a contender for diary of the month or even year right here make sure you enter these competitions when you harvest. You deserve it. The tent is not mini you just make it look simple. I'm into.my 2nd grow and nothing seems to be simple. Things are going really well Tho. Impressed with fastbuds.

Nice to see another coco grower. Good job on the grow. I grew the green crack auto by seedsman. Was 9.6 ounces dried. Was very potent as well. Hope you plant had some good kick as well. πŸ€œπŸ€›πŸŒ±

@TinyTenter, yields are way better and I use 3 gallon fabric with dynomyco. I only feed every other morning. After I ensure my ph run off is righ. Then opposing morning and all evenings I splash with ph water with no real run off. Keeping it wet. Works really well and half nutrition cost or less . Can use your runoff to prep more coco weeks in advance as well. Plus it is reusable. It releases potassium as it biodegrades.
TinyTenter
TinyTenter
@Roberts, Hi! Thank you! I got great advice from many places on the internet on how to do it, so that grow is a testament to how much helpful information is simply shared all over the place by awesome stoners!πŸ˜‡ LOL!πŸ˜‚ Yes, the coco coir club seems rather small. Hard to get info about it at first. CocoforCannabis saved me for life. I mean, when a pile of dirt isn't a pile of dirt at all. Haha. Coco is more daily work because I have to water twice a day. But then again, it becomes a routine, so you become less likely to F the thing up. If you mess up a feed's' numbers (ph/EC), it's okay, the next feed in 12 hours will fix it! And since you water twice a day, you're in front of the plant twice a day, so you get to do more work on it (defoliation/LST/etc.) No nutrients in the medium, so no X factor comes and ruins your grow. I hear soil COMES with bugs sometimes. No thanks. Apartment buildings already have plenty of those. lol. And finally, since coco is a quasi-hydro medium, you prolly also get better yields. So coco coir is my religion. Can't wait to figure out how to efficiently and effectively do automatic watering someday. Did you have a different name a few months ago. I feel like you've answered one of my questions before or something. Just wondering. Thanks again! Have a great grow day!

I'm also in week fourteen of a Fast Buds auto, and I can't quite tell. I've only have time for one more week, but as you say, mostly clear trichomes.
TinyTenter
TinyTenter
@Freddd, Just keep checking the trichs. Are you using 30x or 60x? I thought I had a lot of clear until I figured out how to get the 60x mag to work with the led light so that I could see the trichs correctly. I immediately noticed she was pretty cloudy actually. I'm in flush now. So a few more days. Prolly Day 96 she gets chopped. I think sometimes a long grow means a good yield is coming relative to your situation. There's a given pot size, root ball and main trunk coming out of the soil. If you configure your plant to yield more, it's going to take longer for the plant to get things done all other things being equal, maybe? I dunno. I'm a rookie. Good luck, bud! πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ‘Š
