Flower Day 100!!! 14 weeks of flower and counting. ...She's a sativa alright, and looks like we're going another week. I haven't scoped the trichomes yet this week, though. So we'll see (hopefully today, again!)
Fall colors really looking great. She's quite skunky. Sometimes can smell it outside if I'm near enough the vent at the right timing.
A couple buds are kinda starting to lean from being heavy haha, awesome. Tip tops of the biggest colas are still totally white pistils.
Scoped the trichs on 3/24: Finally some cloudiness, however mild. I'm just going to take a deep breath, and go week to week.
I don't particularly have a reason to rush it along, and my last indoor run I cut early because she started to herm (was still a great harvest and great bud, too). So, I'm gonna keep it rolling. Next weekend would probably be good timing for a harvest, so... Holding hope.
Posted on Reddit 3/24 and got a lot of "whoa you over flowered it and stressed it and it's foxtailing like crazy, chop it now!" Has got me... Kind of stressed about my grow. Also has me doing a lot of reading.
I'm starting to wonder if it's genetic with this sativa. Kind of uniform foxtailing on the whole thing. Added a few photos.
I'm not saying I didn't make mistakes, and having grow nutes for too long, and having my EC meter totally flake on me didn't help. But it's interesting.
Great help on the grow question I posted, making me feel better about keeping it rolling for a week and see what's up. I'll pick am answer once I see more of what happens.
I changed the light schedule to 10 on 14 off on 3/25. First day will be 11 hours and then 10 hours tomorrow. I'm going to bump down the faders on the lights too.
Thinking of doing a res change tonight too.
Breathe deep. It's gonna be dank.

Noticed this diary has the same seed source and strain that's showing a similar structure too, interesting.
Res change 2/25: just backed off same formula as last week a little, 550ppm in the tank, 5.9pH.
Also note: the trichomes that I scoped are from bracts that had pistils that were curled back and are from mid-low on the colas.
3/28: added photos of trichs from yesterday. Some more cloudiness coming in. Slowly, but it is progressing.
Is it time to chop? I posted her on Reddit and people are like "you're way over, it's foxtailing and you need to chop ASAP!" As you can see there's still white pistils on the top most of the biggest colas. I also have scope photos of the trichomes in the diary.
Fox tailing can be a genetic thing. In some strains no matter what you do, thats how they look. its not always quite that bad though, But its not caused by leaving a bud too late for harvest. Thats bullshit. Tell those nobs on reddit who said its foxtailing cause its over to piss off. And some sativas even from same pack of seeds can take longer than others to finish up by up to a week.. Basically expect up yo 14 weeks in flower for a real sativa heavy lady. Anything under is a bonus, most newer strains these days can be done in 12 weeks or even a week less, no probs. But the older school ones like your strain....yeah your gonna be waiting a while longer my friend. it will be worth it thou, promise. Just be patient and dont rush her now. She needs time as much as water and nutes. unless u have found a nute brand that has bottled time and is selling it, u cant rush a sativa. I swear even when they look ready they usually aint ready!!
your looking min 12 weeks for her ok. MIN.
now I looked at your grow, and your first 2 weeks of flower, were not flower. u may have changed the lights, but she wasnt in flower yet. week 2 of flower she was still in pre flower. so ur week count is off by at least two weeks. Taking that into account your right on track alrite? She has about ten days left give or take a few days. 14 weeks for maui waui isnt uncommon at all. So if you knock off those first two weeks of flower, shes only going to be a few days over the 14 week timeline- not a bad job at all.
I currently have 2 plants in tent & It's the lankiness that bothers me as well - One plant was stretching so fast & came in so thin & fragile, I thought it was a male for fuck sakes - I kept a close eye on it & so far looks fine - it should fill in
the other plant I have is fine -- and its going to be fucking great!
thanks for the great pics & solid grow!
Cheers
@Valmont505, thanks for sure! Well, glad it's the genetics, been kinda beating myself up, but ... I have a feeling it'll have my laughing and partying in the end.
Looking excellent. For a sativa I’m surprised the internode spacing is so tight but it’s a great thing for indoor growing that’s for sure. I’m interested to see how she does in flower. Looks like your setup is dialed in nicely.
@Captain_7, thanks man! I'm guessing Nirvana crossed it with something else? I'm not sure, but I'd wager it's a hybrid in the end. Later growth is looking sativa-ish. I hope I'm flipping it early and it doesn't do some craziness during the stretch, should be maintainable at this height though -- hopefully!
Appreciate the compliments, for sure!!
@2highforu, thanks for the compliment!!! Appreciate it. The sativa-ish plant is stretchier than I'm used to, so I'm sometimes worried it's not as compact as I want. There's still a ways for her to go anyway.
Not all plants amber my friend. I would do a little research. I have grown a number of strains that would not amber up. I just take them when most trichs have turned milky...Good grow my friend...
@GMSgrows, kick ass, thanks. I'm currently thinking of waiting a week and see where it's at, if I get some more cloudiness. I'm a bit torn, to be honest.
