02/17 - Day 45
Started losing some of the older big fan leaves on (D), started about a week ago with the yellowing. I thought it was N def but random bronze spots started appearing on the leaves along with red/purple stems, and the affected leaves started curling over on themselves (pics 11 & 12). The other ladies are showing some of the same symptoms but not as severe so I’m guessing it’s a Cal/Mag def.
As of 02/15 I started using the Cal/Mag in the reservoir for the drip system and I did a root drench of Cal/Mag on 02/15 & today. I know it won’t reverse the damage but hopefully I won’t see anymore leaves dying.
Flower development still looks strong for early flowering, hope production doesn’t slow down too much. I’m guessing I depleted all of my Cal or Mag during the mad stretch, along with growing in coco.
02/20 - Day 48
Looks like the extra Cal/Mag and Epsom Salt has slowed down the Mag def, still losing some of the leaves that were already affected. Bud formation looks strong with pistils white and tall.
Looking for some guidance on when to chop the girls. Not into the couch lock and wanting more of a head/cerebral high. Should I push another week or chop now while they are mostly cloudy.
looks like she's popped new pistils lately. You are going to have to make a judgement call as far as waiting for new growth to ripen and the ripeness of old growth already nearly done.
i don't see many if any clear trichomes.. they are all cloudy. which is cool. Usually there's a spectrum.
1) trichomes
2) pistils
3) density of nugs
i bet if you took a sample and pried it apart, the trichomes buried underneath are amber. so, while it's probably the most scientific indicator, it's not always the absolute best indicator because we are only looking at the surface. cloudy is the beginnign of degradation.. amber is well into it. some strains don't turn amber during normal harvest window.
So, take stock of your entire plant... there's new growth, it may be worth waiting longer. You can always do a staggered harvest if needed too.
some stress can cause growth of new pistils. this will increase yield as they ripen. if only happening on top colas, safe to assume it is either light or heat stress. no proble if no serious damage and can be beneficial if it beefs up the colas. though... if it were the trichomes at top would show some amber probably. it's all a balancing act. .. and we are working with incoplete info... you have the plant in the room with you, so you have a bit more, yet still incomplete. don't fret too much... remember a few days more out of 90-100+ is small potatoes. so, i definitely recommend patience... remember what you did this time, try soemthign different next time and figure out what you like better... it's the only way.
