End of flowering week 8.
I watered all plants with the final part 'Ripen' starting at day 1 of flowering week 8.
Sherbet (far left) was the first strain showing yellow leaves, only 2 days after switching to 'Ripen'. I started flushing Sherbet using Florakleen (Flashkleen is the new name) 4 days ago. I expect her to be ready for harvest in a few days. I already spot some dark trichomes on the smallest plant, but not quite there just yet.
Wedding Crasher (far right) is the second strain that shows yellow leaves. I started flushing that pot today. Will check for amber trichomes in one week.
Cookies Gelato and Green Gelato aren't showing any yellow leaves yet, they will continue to get Ripen until they show signs of nearing the end.
(Don't mind the EC and PH on the monitor, it's not in use because I'm watering manually for the last weeks)
@Psilocubensis,Actually I haven't, this is pure improvisation. My previous run I grew 1 plant per pot using these fabric pots and cocos. Each plant split into 4 main branches to get 4 main buds per plant = 16 cola's.
Even after 2 months of veg and 2 months of bloom, I found that the roots still had plenty of room to spare. Filled to the top these pots actually hold 30L of cocos.
This time I want to speed up the process, skip the long growing and training time, and just put 16 small plants into flowering instead.
The run before that I grew 12 plants in this tent (my Critical diary), each in a 6L pot with clay pebbles. That went OK, so I have high hopes this will work as well.
@Psilocubensis,before starting to use these fabric pots with cocos, I used to grow 12 plants in this tent. Each one in a 6L pot in clay pebbles.
My previous run I used these pots with one plant per pot. Actually when I fill the pots to the top with cocos, they contain about 30L each.
After 2 months of grow and 2 months of flowering, it appeared the roots still had a lot of room to spare.
Instead of growing 4 plants and top them to get 4 main branches on each one, this time I decided to just grow 4 plants per pot.
This is the first time I try it like this. It's a test but I have good hopes.
