Getting really excited to cut them down. Seeing plenty of amber trichomes right now so I plan on harvesting this Saturday. On Wednesday I will be changing the buckets out with plain RO water and adding Flawless Finish from AN for a 3-4 day flush.
I will be experimenting a bit with different drying methods this harvest. I live in an extremely dry climate and I let my last crop dry out way too fast. To determine which is the better method for me for future harvests, I will be doing one plant with a wet trim and one plant with a dry trim (minus the large fan leaves). I am not sure when I will post my results as I want to do about a month long cure before I really decide to do a tasting and journal so this might be one of my last updates for a while.
Thanks to everyone who stopped in!
Yep! They are separated by a removable Velcro "wall" that separates the sections allowing me to run veg and flower simultaneously and conserve space in my garage. I'll upload more pictures when I update my diaries this weekend.
@Grumbol.i am currently growing same strain. First time ever in RDWC. Question for You. Do Yiu do flush or not? If Yiu do how Yiu doing it please? I keep reading some peiole do not flush some are.... And those that not flushing keep saying good taste is from drying and curing bot from flushing cause you stress olant starving beforw harvest when plant need food to develop bigger buds? Regards
@DrGreenTumb,
It really depends on the plant and if itโs nutrient heavy or not. If the leaves are a normal shade of green to you then maybe 7-10 days before harvest chop the feed out.
@GrimbolTheDruid thank You for replying ,can You give me advice how to flush plant without stressing her to much please? For hoew many days before harvest? Regards.
@Grimbol, Hi bro, can you please tell me if she gots that famous strawberry ๐ bubble gum taste ?
Bubble gum comes from Indiana , when it arrived in Amsterdam in the 90's that strain has made a revolution in the coffeeshops , cuttings from the original Indiana strain has been giving to 2 persons, one from T.H Seeds and one from Serious Seeds , the strain in the 90's really tasted that sweet strawberry bubble gum flavor, the same bubble gum that we were chewing when we were kids.
During all these years the strain has lost his typical flavor, now only one fenotype on a hundred has this strong and powerful flavor that I'm looking for , I hope you got the one on a hundred ๐
@JUNGLE_B4RNS,
Yeah dude I'll be sure to try and take note of that when it fully cures. Right now the smell is just lightly flowery I would say. Thanks!
@BigDaddyK,
Hmm very interesting. I really love the control and accuracy that hydro affords. I don't know if I would ever willingly switch but if I had to be stealthier for some reason I might do coco because there is no air pump.
@Grimbol,sorry , lol , cons of coco are drying out , and fiddly watering , also you got to get rid of it , after each grow . Ph can be hard to control , but flushing is easier than soil , flavour can be more soil than hydro ๐
Firstly the leaf yellowing is expected , bigger fan leaves seem to go first , as regards the nutrients how often do you change the solution completely? I do every two weeks but top up every day , I have seen froth but not loogies ๐
@BiggestLittleGrower,
Thanks man, much appreciated. I vegged for about 8 weeks but that was because I had many problems with light burn and over fertilization. Normally with manifolding I would guess I would spend maybe 5-6 weeks in veg for a 2' (finishing) plant. This was my first time manifolding and honestly I could not be more pleased. For my first grow (not on this site) I didn't manifold and the difference is amazing. Both of my plants grew almost perfectly even and a majority of the bud weight is definitely in those 8 colas so I am hoping I will have much less popcorn buds/waste. After the cuts I didn't even bother LST and they all grew at about the same rate and had nice spacing. One other thing that is kind of funny is that it basically turns your plants into their own drying rack! I think I will be able to just trim the colas while they are still on the plant and then lop it off right below the "Y" and put it on a hanger. If they are too tight then you can just take each pair of cola off before the intersecting node and hang them. Also if you are like me I love symmetry because it is very efficient in light usage and it just makes me feel good inside haha. I took a picture for you today from the bottom of the plant looking close at the"Y". Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again!
@ClubRiot,
Thank you very much dude! Stay tuned for my GDPs! They are going to be my master piece!!... well my GDP1 is going to be a titan!! I don't know so much about GDP2 :( she is so mini and not loving life haha. It's just a ball.
@DUBDOLLASIGN100,
Thanks a bunch dude! Learned so much! You just wait for these grand daddy purps to come out. If they are the purple pheno it's going to be legendary. I would estimate I am 1-2 weeks from flowering them.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS,
Thanks man. I absolutely love manifolding. Here is the tutorial I used if you were interested. Good luck!

@BigDaddyK,
Thanks! I'm really happy with how this low altitude manifolding turned out. My new crop (GDP) is going to grow much taller in a manifold now with my new tent!
Nice looking crop, friend. I'm hoping for some hefty colas from my girls. Good job on the multi-space tent too. I'm planning on getting a bigger tent next grow. ๐
@Hahded,
Thanks man! Let me know if you want me to link you the tent. It took forever to find it in the dimensions I wanted and on amazon to get that free shipping. The zipper is pretty weak but i'm happy with it so far.
