09.10 Mid Week Trichomes Update. I'm thinking about chopping the Quick One on Friday. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, some amber and still a few clear, hope they start to get milky by friday.
The tip of the leaves on the Quick One are turning yellow and then into a deep dark purple, is this supposed to happen or are the in trouble?๐ฐ
She is in her second week of flower, looked overall healthy so far, any idea on wahts happening?
Nice she is showing good bio chemistry within the leaves, senescence is the process of the plant beginning its "death spiral" so to speak.
The reallocation of nutrients within a plant's leaves.
Some nutrients are mobile some are not.
Nitrogen is mobile meaning once nitrogen runs low the plant will start to cannibalize the mobile nitrogen where it is needed elsewhere for more critical bud development.
Chloryphyll itself is composed of nitrogen with a magnesium core. This is the yellowing you see.
As chloryphyll is removed the other pigmentation remain, this will show through as purples (anthocyanin) or red/orange (cartenoids).
It is a sig of a healthy grow done well. Good job.
Cold night temps should help if you choose to bring out more purples, but don't push it wait till you are deep into ripening then slam it low see what happens. Good luck.
Did you do any LST?
Im a week and a hlaf into 1 Quick One and 1 Sherbet Queen, and was curious to know how high the Quick One got (with or without LST)
I've a short tent - 120cm/4'
@AbsoluteBudinner, this was also my first grow, I just let her do her thing without intervening to much, learning about how the plants grow, before i do training on her. But if you feel comfortable with LST'ing her, go ahead.
She's still drying, so no clue on how she tastes.
She wasn't done 100%, more like 90-95%, with a few trichomes still clear. Could have given her another week, but since I got a very busy week ahead of me and life being life, I decided to chop her. But yes, got 55 days on her, exactly the time RQS predicetd.
@nopes, thanks for the reply, I'm on my first grow so have been deciding whether to let them both go on their own or try and train a bit (risky probably for a first grow)
How does she smoke, if you got there yet?
Interesting that you hit the 8/9 weeks as intended by the seed bank. Curious to see that on my grow, or if it goes
Beautiful plants.
Yellow leave peaks is a sign that they need more N if humidity and temperatur is in vpd.
I would say you can feed them a little bit more
@Pi_growing, Thank you!
Good to know! I gave them some organic fertilizer about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure if it was enough though.
Since the Quick One needs ~4 more weeks and the Apple Fritter maybe a week or two more, I'm not sure if it's enough time for the Organic fertilizer /to do it's thing
