17/01/19 - Day 53 flower
Started the flush last week, been feeding just pH'd water and the colors are already starting to fade; lots of autumn hues as the larger leaves start to get leached. The buds themselves are turning a pinkish/purple hue and the trichomes are mainly milky, 10% amber. They look amazing, 3/4 have thick stacked buds and the 4th plant is a little thinner but that's only because I didn't prune it as much but fortunately it has more budsites. They'll be ready in a few days but I'll probably be harvesting on 23rd.
Hey man, nice job! Do you not use calmag? RO water? Im using canna nutes and having problems. it is also my first grow in coco but im just wondering if those ecs in your diary are total ecs including source water or if that's the ec on top of the source. ]
@justanobody, hi mate, I don't use any calmag because my area has very hard water and no i just tap water. The EC's reported in the diary weren't very accurate but I can tell you that I followed the COCO grow schedule as recommended by CANNA. It's a great, comprehensive schedule which can really help you get the results you want esp when coupled with some powerful lights. if you're have nutrient problems, flush your plants with plain pH'd water (about 10-15L per plant) and then give a final watering with a half feed of Rhizotonic to help your roots destress. after a week or so you can introduce the new schedule and you should be okay,
Looking nice man, itβs an awesome plant to grow. Iβve got one at about the same stage now and am impressed more every day a zip open my door. Good luck in the last few weeks and man what a smoke thatβs gonna beβοΈπ»πβοΈπ»
Yep buds are very dense and big, like tennis ball shaped almost.
When smoked it smells like someone is roasting a pine cone next to ya, very dank I say! π
@LongJohn420, fantastic - they already have a candy orange smell to them, and a nice piney resin when you rub the stems. really aiming to keep temps down to preserve as many of these terps as possible
Looks good. You gonna get huge amount of nice bud with awesome painkiller gualities. My back likes this one and so do I πππ
Good luck with the grow. Easy strain by any means.
Cool thanks for the info, Will keep an eye on ya diaries...keep up the great passion of growing my friend, will get a grow of something going soon myself for sure, will try and look for something more stealth for now though, can't take the risk @ the moment. π
Hey Truro looking sweeet, can you give us an update on the smell profile as of now, is it a stinker? If I were to open the closet door would my roomies next door get a wiff of this? :)
Hi!
There is a reason why you top them so early? Have you ever tried to make a side to side compare?
I always wait longer.
I do lst and, cause of small space, i sometimes fucked up and make an accidental topping.
I always try to clone the broken top, even if will come out a small plant (internal clock will not stop 99% of the times), it's a free plant to put in a corner or below a window.
If i do not fuck up, I then always go for the fim, because a bad fim is a topping anyway :)
@Truro, Hi! No problem :)
I am growing autoflowers, so for me is even more important to find "the right time".
I want to minimize the recovery time/stress for the plant to make it the fastest possible.
@OneDude, hello! apologies for the delay in replying, I top them early because I am short on time in the vegetative stage and wanted to push into bloom in the best manner I could and sometimes this includes topping early. All 4 plants are doing excellently at this stage and have 2/3 times the number of colas that they would have otherwise had, with two plants have 8 tops each, not including lateral growth. I firmly believe this was due to me giving them as much time as I could to recover, something that invariably happens if you top early but still maintain a normal grow schedule. hope that answers your question
