Okay so the buds have been drying in the wardrobe for a week and are dry on the outside, thinking of putting them in jars today as otherwise will have to dry them for another week and I think it might be too much. I kept the trim in a bowl because i wanted to dry it, but when i got back it had gone brown like budrot. I dont think the buds have any rot but I'm kind of paranoid about it as they have changed color but i think its just the normal change due to drying them, can you guys check out the picture and confirm? thanks. The other plants are doing okay, I am spraying weekly BT and something that prevents rot, but took off about 6 small caterpillars off the critical today. I sprayed yesterday so I'm hoping its because it takes a few days to actually get the little fuckers.(I read on the internet it is when they ingest the bt through eating the plant that it affects them). Going to chop down the remaining auto as it has loads of cloudy trichs and a few ambers. Will update with photos of the harvest. most importantly if ppl can just let me know what you think about the color and state of the buds that would be great, thanks!

Hi, the bottom leaves have gone yellow on some of them and they have little white spots on the bigger leafs, I have detected whiteflies and assuming that this is caused by them but can anyone confirm this for me or is there another problem I don't know about?? Thanks guys!

Hey, hey if you’ve id’d white flies then I’d start with neem oil as the general “fix-all”. Or if you’ve sourced another foliar spray then perfect - apply and see what happens. Based on your feeding sched. The yellowing prob. Isn’t nute burn. If you’re referring to the cotelydons then they may simply be dying off. I wouldn’t worry too much about this until/if it starts to translate to the actual leaves. I’ve seen it before myself but not until somewhat later. No need to worry just yet though - monitor and see how it goes. 👊👍 good luck dude!

You know when to harvest based on the trichomes. You will need a magnifier 60x will do, 100x is better. This can be anything from a jewelers loop to a digital WiFi microscope. I got the WiFi scope for pictures of the trichomes. You should google this, you will find charts indicating the different effects based on the trichomes appearance. 💪

@Tazard, Thankyou! I will keep this in mind, buying a 60-120x microscope thing on amazon today :D

@ghendrix, to avoid paranoia I’d harvest at 0-5% amber with 80-100% cloudy. Based on my experience unless you want a sedative or narcotic pain relief this is the best harvest time for the peak of ripeness and THC.
ghendrix
ghendrix
@Tazard, oh this is very good info! I have a tendency towards anxiaty and get paranoia quite easily! They are already high CBD strains (2:1 ratio CBD to THC) So do they go more amber over time? if so I would want to be harvesting later rather than sooner right?

Thanks! So do you think I should plant the photoperiods in ground and the autos in pots?
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimar
@ghendrix,I think its a good Idea . 50 l sounds good. and rainprotection is everything they need in later september. its nice you got that kind of space. you can let them stand in your garden unitl beginnig of " rainingperiod" what is most time in the middle of september (here in northern europe). A little bit of rain is not bad but rain longer than 3 daysand colder temps under 16 degree and humid weather is bad
ghendrix
ghendrix
@Larimar, I don't think I will have them resources or time to create a roof like that.. should I plant them all in pots (I have bought 50L pots) I have a terrace with good sun and is half covered by a roof. I could drag them under the roof when it rains to protect them. Does that sound like a good plan?
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimar
@ghendrix, the autos in pots work wonderful. and if you give the others a roof its will be great give the autos minimum 15 liters

Harvest (and the buds) looks great dude!👊👍. No stressn she’s supposed to look like that. I usually pull my harvests from the dry rack at 10 days and start the cure. Even if they’re still a little too moist, I air out the jars every day for about 5-10 minutes a day for 20-30 days and it seems to acclimate perfectly.👍. Good luck and above all else, enjoy😎

@ghendrix, usually give it a little shake and then let the jar air out for about 5-10 minutes or so. Honestly, no real set schedule. The taste and smell gets much better with time. 1-2 months = primo👌😉
ghendrix
ghendrix
@TheBudWhisperer, ohh thanks man! when you air out the jars do you take the buds out or just open the lid for 10 min?

@ghendrix, never really had an insect problem myself. Did you try taking a look at growweedeasy.com? She’s got a really good diagnoses section for nute deficiencies and insects. Check er out if u get a chance👍

@TheBudWhisperer, Thanks my man! Yeah I forgot to take a photo of the damaged leafs. I'm quite sure that its slugs (or snails) munching aqt my girls leafs as I have found the typical silvery trace that they leave behind on the leafs. But I have never seen them in the act.

hey Hey! Saw your updates since week 3 and the plants are looking great! Super healthy and thriving. Read the comments too and you’ve got great advice from @Larimar, @DinafemSeeds and everyone else. thought I’d add a couple things more!: #1: your grow is doing just fine 👍! #2: don’t stress too much over a couple of yellowing leaves lower down on the plant. Most often times this isn’t an early sign of nutrient burn, just the plants lower leaves no longer getting the same light exposure as the rest. Good job keeping a close eye but until you see a real obvious spread of yellowing, these are common leaf issues when growing outdoors.👍 #3: glad the neem oil seems to be working and yes - if using this during flower try to avoid spraying the actual buds/flowers. It will affect taste at harvest. Spray only the leaves as best you can. When the plant starts producing trichs (frosty crystals), ease back on neem oil application as this is the plants natural defence against insects. When it punches into full flower you may not need it at all. #4: your ideal ph range for soil is between 6-7. Treat it like a range - this is actually a rather large margin for error. That said, soil is also quite forgiving and can handle the odd ph fluctuation beyond this range. I got by without a ph meter or up/down for at least a year with no issues (high ph water too) when growing in soil so now that you’re dialing this in don’t stress at all 👊 #5: it’s also good that you’ve dialed back nutes - this should remove any concerns or issues with burn in the future and make any other troubleshooting easier. #6: any spider that’s not a mite is a good omen when growing outdoors. Spiders do the job of controlling insect populations so if they’re on your plant, then it’s an added line of defense against other little bastards! In short, this grow is rocking the casba!!! Keeping an eye out myself and lots of other cool cats are lined along “the watchtower” too! Doing great!!! 👊👍👊

ok checked the soil, its ok. it has a few ferilisers. not to much . ph is ok. of the soil. well lets wait what happens. its no nutrient excess. its moer a defiency if the yellowing went worse start feeding with half the ammount of fertiliser into wet soil. and buy an ph meter........ dont care what grow shop says.... nutrients are nutriens organic or not its always the same componentsN, P, K.......synthetic or organic

@ghendrix,you are testing your feeding solution and the runoff of your plant(soil and water)if you are watering and yes maybe its not teh worst idea just to be sure to buy an ph set-----Ph up , Ph down and ph meter. if you dont need it great but in my eyperience you will need it its good to havwe all avialable facts to diagnose the plant
ghendrix
ghendrix
@Larimar, okay thanks Larimar you are wonderful! I will do that. Do you mean a ph meter for the water yes? I got it tested and it was 7. Does that mean I need to buy something to lower it?

@Tazard, hey man thanks! I have been following your cbd plus grow! Mine also started off quite fragile, but once they got past 3 nodes they became much more resiliant! I have no experience with hydroponics though so Im guessing its quite a different lifestyle for the plant! Im sure once she starts getting bigger she will turn out great! Paitence and good luck my friend! :D

Sucks how much BS u went through dude but looks like you’ll be rewarded with a good haul👍. Wish I had some input for u on bud washing but it’s not something I do post chop. Then again I’ve gotten super lucky with pests and mild issues in the past. All the best my friend!👊
ghendrix
ghendrix
@TheBudWhisperer, Thanks man! Yeah it has been a kind of crazy ride but at least I have learned a lot. And for next season I'm going to be practicing prevention from day 1. The bud washing I have had a good experience with, I'm unsure about it reducing trichomes like I have read people saying on forums and stuff.. but you know there is the same amount of people saying that they do it and no problem. I think it is more useful for outdoor grows where dust, bugs and pm can be problematic. Thanks man, all the best :)

sorry about all that fox tailing I see you are growing outdoor do you have some sort of a light outside that maybe turns on in the nigh that can be what is causing your fox talling even 30 seconds of light in her night cycle can mess her up
ghendrix
ghendrix
@Tonino, no its weird there is no light or anything.. i guess it was just a genetic mutation.
