Well they have had their second flush and will be flushing for the third time on Friday. Colour change in the fan leaves. The buds have definitely gained weight. The smell is very intense. There are still many white pistols, im not really sure how long they should still be. I thought GC was 8-9weeks mine seem like they may go longer? First grow so Iโm very poor visually gauging them.
I hope everyoneโs grows are going well and wish you all a healthy and happy harvest.
And the whole right side that stretched out is still falling over but more and I need to do more work this weekend to prop up a number of stems.

That looks like a slight nutrient burn to me. Iโd suggest trying to back down a little on your feedings. Maybe reduce to 1/2 or 3/4 strength or feed less frequently. Otherwise everything looks great! ๐
Sounds like a great friend to have, lol. Also, nice setup. So, when you add water or anything for that matter, ph that to your 6.5 or whatever, don't just put tap water in there. As you have certainly read, ph is going to be key, nothing will work right without a good ph. Good luck on your new hobby!
Well done bro - fantastic pull at 2oz. Per and you should be proud. Really enjoyed following this one and looking forward to the bext๐๐๐๐๐
Trichs always tell the real truth on doneness bud. If ya got a jewellers loupe then that obviously helps - ur lookn for cloudy mushroom heads mixed with a little bit of Amber (generally). In the absence of that and in my own humble opinion and experience - add 1-2 weeks on grow timeline provided by the breeder (def. applies to crop king and Iโve grown a few of their strains). When the big fans are turning yellow, youโre probably in the harvest window. Best I got for ya buddy and looking forward to the final weigh!๐๐๐
@TheBudWhisperer, thank you my friend! Itโs definitely been a fun learning experience. Looking forward to more growing lol. New strains. Maybe trying a different technique. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฅ I want to smoke these girls so bad ๐ณ
@Dadasgrow, yeah still too hard to tell without a digital microscope. That said youโre real close for sure.
Keep an eye on trichs in the middle area of the plant when u see cloudy there mixed with a little amber around the top area - your prob. Good to chop๐๐. Canโt wait to see the numbers on this dude. Great grow, really!

@HighTV, was literally adding to it while you were typing I think. I know it seems some spots have fallen over from bud weight lol I need more sticks ๐ณ.
ok to just let them grow?
Yes it will, but you wonโt be maximizing the plants flower potential where it matters ๐
Regardless of stem size currently my branches each have 5 or more flowers on them. Will the returns from taking away those lower flowers be worth it to the tops ?
Yes, both in density and intensity my friend๐
Will trimming flowers off my girls at this stage in their life hurt them? If sheโs healthy (and she is) It shouldnโt, this is week 3 and ur last real opportunity to stress the plant significantly before the more sensitive flowering weeks ahead. So in the long run no. I would be stripping what I could see now and defoliating pretty heavy in one sitting. Let er recover a week or so and keep an eye out for droopiness. Then, regular light pruning of leaves and removing the occasional larf where u find it. pruning on an ongoing basis until last couple weeks or so.๐
I feel like I should let them be and just pull the leaves that clog up light dispersion.
If thatโs how you feel then cool. start slow with the leaves in the middle of the plant as well as the largest fan leaves. You can always take off more but never can you take off less๐. You gotta work with the plant and be careful yes - but this plant looks healthy and as though she could snap right back quick even if really stressed.
Hope it helps dude๐๐
@Dadasgrow, no worries buddy - thatโs what this platforms for!๐
As far as these other questions are concerned - spot on dude. Exactly what Iโd do. As far as feeding - keep to the regular schedule. I usually wait until the plants are ready for the next feeding and after Iโm done defo Iโll give em a good drink to tide them over in recovery for the next couple days.
As far as the trichs on the lower larf buds are concerned - youโll probably get higher sucking on a tail pipe than smoking those. The trichs wouldnโt have developed at this point and I doubt theyโd have any thc component at all. Good luck and have fun with the defo (my favourite part of the grow). Iโm around and will definitely keep an eye on this bud - looking great!๐๐๐
Stretch is very much dependent on the strain my friend and too much stretch indoors is a much bigger problem than too little. you want an example of this just check out @capitankush diaries. His tent is literally bursting due to a prolonged veg. Period. That said, donโt lose any sleep over this monster. Sheโs looking fantastic and your gonna get rewarded big time!!!๐๐๐๐
@TheBudWhisperer, the stretch is real, 24hrs later, a few of the girls tops at the back found 2โ. ๐ณI spoke to soon. Iโm gonna come home from work tomorrow and they will all have gained again. Just cause I said something.
@GreasyLuigi, I love this comment. ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ It took so long to get them all down, trimmed and hung. Iโll definitely be trying to figure out some better harvesting methods and techniques lol.
Man these girls are lookn pretty dude! Whatโs the size of ur grow space and how many plants? She looks full so Iโm gonna take a shot at guessing ur yield.๐
