Another week down. Some bud pistils starting to brown/orange over a little. Was hoping to harvest within the next week but doesn't look promising. Another 2-4 weeks I imagine. The Strawberry Gorilla Glue is maturing nicely. The Bruce Banner maturing nicely as well but trichome production lacking behind strawberry glue a bit. It might need longer to finish up than the others. Definately showing her sativa side in bud and leaf structure. I am sick of defoliating her so I'm just letting her ride out the rest of this grow without it. Strawberry glue the exact opposite, showing her indica side in bud and leaf structure. Strawberry Banana still throwing me for a loop. Apparently she grew 1-2" without me noticing and got too close to the light. Signs of light stress, adjusted the light up an inch or two. Had to train down the bruce banner a bit, she was getting too big for her britches. Also trained down the strawberry banana due to the growth/light burn issue to help maintain even canopy. Not too worried but to say straw nana's had a rough life would be an understatement. I am AMAZED she didn't herm on me. I guess there's still time so we'll see. Humidity has been lower lately. Actually had to use the humidifier. Not terribly low (around 54% outside tent and around 45% inside tent at canopy level. All of the girls smell amazing. Bruce banner hits me the most on first unveil but quickly gives way to the strawberry glue. Still got some brown spotting on the straw nanna. She's definitely my problem child. So I brewed up a tea but the other 2 girls are drinking much more water at a faster rate. So the watering times were off by about a day. Managed to pull through and get em back on track with each other by holding water for a day from the B.B. and the strawberry glue. Top dressed today with wormcastings and some happy frog fruit and flower watered in with an ACT. Last top dress/feed until harvest. Hoping for some smooth sailing from here on in.

Grow Questions
Enemy61390started grow question 2 years ago
Any ideas for storing compost tea? Plants on differing watering schedules due to taking in water at different rates. Started a tea today to help correct some issues but 2 of 3 plants won't need water for another 12-36 hours from time it's finished.

For less than 48hrs you can store it in a jar/bottle , maybe not closed to let the organisms breath! Or giving them a little bit air every 5-6 hrs. You can store it in a closed bottle too, don't worry! :)

Time to harvest? A week? maybe two for bruce? I'm drying in my tent as it's easier to control the environment and it is pretty dry this time of year (39-50%rh). So do I stagger harvest or try to push them all until bruce seems ready? Check my diary. Thoughts welcomed.

When the triches look more like plastic than glass with consistently seen amber in any 1 locale inspected, but not a high percentage -- that's usually my preferred harvest time. I do earlier window harvest as i don't like couch-lock / sleepy buds. Genetics will have a say in that too.
There needs to be more magnification of the trchomes to assess them than your pictures provide. Under a grow light they will also light up quite a bit more in a photo than to your eye in RL while you look through a scope that helps block excess light.
You look like your nearly at early window of harvest on some.. so, depends a lot on personal preference as to within a few days or 1-2 weeks from now etc...
i'd just let them finish individually, but... plenty of reasons to deviate from that too. If you cannot have an alternative drying spot in the mean time... i'd look at it like a assess trichomes... the average of the total that gives me the most of what i prefer. So, that could mean taking the slow one early before the bulk ambers up for me... but, i'd just hang a plant somehwere else in meantime and harvest as they are individually ready... got an old tent frame? while a top might be helpful to reduce any dust, enclosed in a tent is not the best way to dry... make sure there is plenty of air exchange and a suitable RH results or you'll be fermenting pickes in there... or it'll smell like you are.

@GrowingGrannie, Unfortunately yes.. π
There was also a difference in the soil when I prepped it. One bag of FFOF was super wet/clumpy/heavy. Unlike the pots the bruce banner and strawberry gorilla are in. So that could have something to do with it as well. It seems to retain water more than the other two for some reason. Maybe lack of peat moss in the mix. Either way, I don't think I'll be using Fox Farms soil next time. No complaints on they're dry amendments currently though.

@Enemy61390, oh wait a minute... I just re-read your comment on this week ... yeah, you might have watered her too much ... I don't know... anyway, again I'll keep checking in! Good luck!

@Enemy61390, - yeah, she IS a bit sad looking, isn't she?! Doesn't make sense, tbh ... maybe she'll surprise you when you start giving nutes... I'd go REALLY slowly with the nutes for her if this was my grow... like 1/4 strength just to see if she'll tolerate them... hmmmm... Gonna keep checking because I'm really interested to see what SHE will do!

@Fast_Buds, Thanks! My first time trying indoor and I am addicted now. Thanks for pumping out such awesome genetics. I enjoyed the strawberry banana so much I've got 2 more going in my new grow to give her a real shot and see what she can do.

Your BB is looking SO much better than mine! I'm jealous... but I have more seeds so I'm going to have another go at this strain! Next time in DWC, though!

@GrowingGrannie, Thanks! I think it could be better but she's right in the middle of the pack. I've got quite a few banner seeds. If I take a liking to it it may only do that next run π

Why is it I didn't know you were growing a Bruce Banner, too?! This is wonderful... will look forward to the smoke report! Kudos!

@GrowingGrannie, Oh idk I thought you knew π. She was by far the biggest yielder. I did do a tester when I put it into grove bags so no cure just dried. It was enjoyable. Mine was definitely a sativa leaning effect. Little body stone, big head buzz. Tasted good to boot. Like a little bit of pine with earthy undertones and a bit spicy on the backend. I'm sure that'll develop more with a cure but good on all counts so far.
