Day 134 - We enter the 12th week of flower. I forgot to mention that I gave 2 gallons of water again yesterday, though the runoff seemed to be about half as much as the previous time that I watered. I did topdress with a touch of new Mother Earth Coco Peat, but I wouldn't have imagined it would have soaked up as much additional water as it did. I imagine doing so will give the plants just a touch more nutrients while just watering, and should hopefully allow me to at least get through this week, possibly a touch longer. The trichs all appear cloudy, but the pistils still stand up a bit much, so I want to take this as long as possible, without extending it too much further. Day 135 - Seems that last little top dress of medium has slowed/stopped what seemed to be the start of autumning off. I'm actually kind of happy with that, as it may allow me to get another couple days of finishing out of the plant. While I don't want to wait much longer, I would like to see some more pistils receding/turning color. Day 136 - Watered today, just under 2 gallons. After a couple days of getting lots of runoff, I feel safe that most of the medium will be cleaned of any salt residues that may have been left. At this point, I will basically just water until runoff for the last feed or two. Day 137 - As I wait for these last few days to count down to harvest, I can only think that it is hard to 'plan' a grow before you start. These beans were listed as 8-10 weeks, I started flowering at the beginning of March, and figured by the end of April I should be close to a harvest. Well, as we sit here, close to the end of May, it is finally getting close to that harvest, though at times I feel like I should be waiting multiple more weeks on the plant. Day 138 - I don't have much to say about today. I started a new job tonight, working the overnight shift, so I will end up only getting a couple hours of 'day' time with the plant now in her final days. She will be watered tomorrow when I get home from work. Day 139 - This new job is less than ideal for the flowering times I currently have, but there is minimal (probably 7-10 days) time left before I chop her. Lights are on from 10p-10a, and I work from 10p-6a, not getting home until close to 7. She was watered when I got home today, and so as long as she doesn't fade out too quickly, I will be chopping around the 1st of June. She will approach 90 days of flower time from a listed 56-63 day strain. I have said it many times, but still a waiting game at this point. Day 140 - The 20th week of growing, 12th week of flower is now complete. It appears that the leaves are slowly starting to yellow a bit more. Getting close! She is either going to get harvested this weekend, or next weekend (figure it will just be easier to do when I'm not working).

Grow Questions

buddha61started grow question 5 years ago
If anyone actually looks at the temp/humidity monitor in my photos, you will see it goes from 40%s during lights on, to mid 50%s during lights off. Do I need to invest in a dehumidifier sooner rather than later, or will mid 50s during lights off not pose huge mold risks in flower

Hey Buddha61! Looking great👍 The humidity is not to bad at all. As long as you dont get above 55% you should be fine you have a nice trained plant so as long as it is getting enough airflow you should be fine. Airflow is important because you can get "spots" that are more humid than others if it's lets say an area of the ten the fan does not get to or something blocks the wind from the fan. and it also helps if there is any spores trying to land on the plants if will blow them away! haha But as long as it stays below 55%RH you should be fine now if you do notice it creeping up higher than that then i would definitely look into a dehumidifier. Plus there are some other benefits of a dehumidifier. You are able to mimic the natural environment outside and lower the RH as flower starts. and it helps bring out more flavor trichome/resin production with the more "dry" conditions later in flower👌. If you do invest in one what i do is start at 50-55%RH for the first 2 weeks of flower then drop it to 40-45% for the 3rd an 4th week. and after the 4th Drop it to 30-35% and have been getting fantastic results since starting to do it Hope this helps! Happy Growing😎

@DrGreenThumb95, Thanks. Looking back, there are 3 areas which I wish I had done better. I wish I had did a better job pruning/defoliating under the screen, I wish I had filled the screen out more, and now knowing that it didn't stretch much, I wish I had let it grow through the net a week or so before flipping. It was still a good result, but I feel it could have been better (don't we all).

@Puffer_Bill, Most definitely. Going to be a lot of trimming, but I am going to do it all dry. I feel it will make the number of flowers I have to trim easier to do.

@TheBudWhisperer, I did upload one bad trich shot from my DIY lens. Hopefully the loupe gives a better look tonight after the lights come on.

TheBudWhisperer
@buddha61, meh - don’t think it’ll make a huge difference one way or the other. Even if ur still 2-3 weeks out you’re so close to the finish that I wouldn’t worry about it causing a serious problem. The loupe will tell you a lot more so good that’s it showing up soon👍
buddha61
buddha61
@TheBudWhisperer, Told ya it feels like a few more weeks yet :) I do have a loupe on the way from Amazon (here tomorrow), so hopefully I will be able to get semi clear trich shots. Yea, the nute burn was noticed a couple weeks ago, and I cut back on the bloom a bit. The Mag Pro doesn't have calcium, but the bloom formula has 2% calcium, apparently. Wonder if I should go back to close to full strength on the bloom and cut the Mag Pro back. Now that you mention it, it does seem that the discoloration has started since I lowered the strength of the bloom.

@SommerVirelli, Thanks. I attribute a lot of it to reading/gaining information from the internet. It doesn't hurt that as a kid my family usually had gardens (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc) and I would help grow that each year. I of course had some veg growing pains, but have got her looking much better in flower.

Filled corners or not that’s an excellent scrog dude. Canopies so nice and even too. Think you’ll be impressed with the yield dude👊. Very nice👌

@TheBudWhisperer,Agree. Next grow I think I am going to go with manifolding. I got a few more weeks to see how I like the yield :)

@buddha61, hear that - biggest knock with scrog is that the veg. Time takes what it takes to fill up the net. That said - totally worth it!👍😎
buddha61
buddha61
@TheBudWhisperer,Thanks. I realized after I decided that I was going to scrog that it was going to take too long for one plant to fill the entire screen, so I just tried for even and as big as I could in the time I vegged.

looks awesome!
buddha61
buddha61
@JohnnyBlaz3, the inside/usable area is 27"x30". I obviously didn't fill it completely out, but it was a last second thing to do (and would have taken many more weeks), as I wasn't sure what method I was going to employ, just LST and trying to bush her or trying to scrog. In the end, I wasn't sure if I would want to go back and try a scrog again, so I went ahead and used it. When I look at the canopy shot posted D64, or even when opening the tent, there is some small joy received when seeing a relatively flat canopy level. I am already considering mainlining/manifolding next round.

@buddha61, on my first grow so nothing to compare to but that's about where I noticed some sugar as well. Very exiting time indeed! I'm only a few days ahead of you. what size is your net?
buddha61
buddha61
@JohnnyBlaz3, Thanks. She is really starting to come along now. Lots of beginning flower growth started, and I believe I found a leaf that actually has some trichrome development starting, which I would think 13 days of 12/12 would be a bit early to start, but I won't complain.

hi dude !! It is not forbidden to Harvest first the most mature flowers and after the other wich was underexposed 😌 that's why i grew aloe vera because his juice allows to the plant cuts to quickly heal after this operation in order to reduce stress 👊 but if i have an advice is to buy a chinese cheap scope...mine works very weel for a cheap price and this has changed my life as a grower 🙏

@buddha61, I had to part harvest my Think Big Auto at 11 weeks, 5 zips of the biggest colas. But then I got another 13 zips at 16 weeks. Surprisingly the quality of the smoke was no different, the 16 week buds were just more filled out.
buddha61
buddha61
@Budofpray, If I do go with a scope, it will definitely have to be next grow, as I'm not going to worry too much about it right now, as I can kinda see when looking, just won't be able to add many good trich photos to the journal. I realize a partial/staggered harvest can be done on a plant, but I am pretty sure that my tent is going to function as a drying chamber, so it will be one chop this time.

Beautiful how big is your screen may I ask
buddha61
buddha61
@Crwfz1, It was 27" x 30" on the inside. I had some scrap 30" wood, and that became the frame for the scrog. Thinking about doing it again, but at almost the full size of my tent, about 35" from pole to pole, though it is dubbed a 3x3 tent, so should be 36x36.
