D43: Week 4 of Flowering starts with way to high humidity, it’s been raining for the last few days, and humidity in my flat is around 75% and I struggle to keep it below 70% in my box right now, but the next days should handle that… :)
D46: the conditions have been under control again for the last 48h
D47: watered with 900ml PH 6.3 + fertilizer
D49: added some bud pics! a lot of the pistils turned orange already, since I have no possibility yet to look at the trichomes, it’s hard to judge when the plant is ready for harvest… I think I will give it 1-2 more weeks; what y’all think? :)
Hi :)
The stems of the leaves of my auto orange bud have turned red in the last days…
It‘s also happening to lower leaves.
Is this issue related to nutrient deficiency?
Thanks in advance for any guidance :))
There could be a few reasons why this happens. First of it could be genetics that is causing this and there is nothing you can do about it.
Second would be a nutrient deficiency. Mostly a phosphorus or potassium. Majority of times it would be phosphorus.
It appears like your plant is doing well other than this. So I wouldn’t change anything. However if you did want to add about 10-20% more fertilizer to your mix then you could easily do that the next two feedings.
I hope this helps.
Hey there,
Compared to other diaries of this exact strain, mine started flowering way early. So harvest should be also earlier?
I have no way to check trichromes. I wanna ask, how long you think the plant still needs? Most of the pistils turned orange fan leaves turned yellow/red
Harvest time depends on plant health as well. If your plant is less than 10/10 health it needs longer to finish flowering. Id push your plant until its basically dead -thats what Ive done for plants that look like that, so they can come close to finishing.
Hi :)
Today I got a cheap clip on microscope for my phone camera to check the trichromes. (Sorry for the pretty bad quality) It‘s hard for me to judge if the trichromes are clear or cloudy. Some of them are amber already (~20%)
Could this plant be harvested today?
Thank you :)
It looks like you have around two weeks or more to go. This all depends on how you like your smoke. The more amber the trichomes the more of a couch lock effect it will have on you.
It’s best to check your plant on Multiple buds and multiple points on the bud. Sugar leafs will always show a more developed and mature trichome opposed to the dense inner bud trichomes.
I would suggest checking again next week in multiple places and judge again, if you are still seeing lots of clear then check again in a week. In two weeks you could start checking every day because at the end of maturity, they can change fast.
I hope this helps.
Schaue auch mal zu, hab auch eine am Start aber die ist erst 2 Wochen alt. Bin mal gespannt auf den Vergleich zu meinen 2 critical orange punch auto. Viel Glück weiterhin💚
@LongLiveLance, hab extra grad nachgemessen, ca. 15cm Durchmesser und 20cm Höhe wäre dann ca 3,5L :) vielleicht sind meine Pflanzen auch einfach eher klein und deshalb sehen die Töpfe so groß aus…
