It's officially day 1 of week 6! They are getting CLOSE! Around 2 weeks I'm thinking? I feel like the plants are maturing quickly compared to some other runs I've seen of GSC from Humboldt Seed Company? I know I've seen some diaries where people are in flowering stage for a good few weeks longer than 8 weeks. With my two plants I feel like 8 weeks will be perfect for harvest unless the trichomes are saying otherwise.
Running 78-82 during lights on phase, humidity around 50-55%, VPD is ranging from 1.5-1.7 during lights on and similarly when they are off. No signs of pests, PM, bud rot etc. The leaves on the right one still are showing a possible deficiency? I'm thinking I should have ran a custom nutrient blend for that one. I use RO/DI water for my plants because of the chloramine in our water supply. I bet my calcium and magnesium have been low for a while, especially since there is none in the water I am feeding them despite using calmag on them (but just not enough).
I'll post some more pics later this week and maybe a quick vid. These were some real quick macro shots I took this morning. Shallow depth of field, no focus stacking for these. f4, iso100, around 1/200s.
@Trailblazer79, thank you. I've done a good job keeping the VPD in the optimal range for most of the grow so that has likely contributed to them looking so colorful. Despite making numerous rookie grower mistakes the buds are looking very quality - probably 90% due to the breeder selling great genetics haha. :)
@MrLahey,hi bro, definitely check you filter. At this early stage no smell should be coming out. Hope your girls develop nicely and you will have a great harvest πβ¨πβοΈπ
@PapaNugs, haha. Thank you! Iβve been in a perpetual state of excitement and amazement this whole grow lol. I canβt wait until the drying and curing is done! They smell sooooo good already!
And yeah I knew when I bought them that genetics are important. Now for my next few grows I just need to improve on all these rookie mistakes so I can start getting some bigger harvests and actually reach more than like 40% of their genetic potential like I did on this grow. π
Hallo Tolle Arbeit. So ein Tip. Nimm nenn Karton, mache ein paar lΓΆcher rein und trockne im Zelt erstmal die besten Buds. Dann kΓΆnnen sich die anderen noch Entwickeln. Dann hast du das beste Ernteergebniss.
@A_Stoned_Llama, ty! I cut them last week and I'm on day 8 of drying right now. 60-62 degrees and 55-62 RH. Just waiting for another few - 8 days until they're fully dry before I update. Yield will be small but quality looks to be really on point!
@PapaNugs, thank you! Thanks to grow diaries, especially Humboldt Seed Co, reddit and youtube content creators it seems I've kept these beautiful plants alive to harvest despite all my rookie grower mistakes lol. I've been so happy with the plants so far. Can't wait to germinate these Hella Jelly seeds next. :)
