Bossy_Marmalade Big Lemon needs a stronger dose of calcium in her next feeding. I normally dont have nutrient probs but ive never had to feed a plant this big and hungry π―
Clawing can have alot of Reasons, overwatering, underwatering, and Nitrogen excess. for not knowing how much nutes you use, i cant say no more to you. If you add pictures in natural light and your feeding schedule ican say more
Bossy_Marmalade Its clear at this point that Big Lemon is root bound bc i did not transfer her into 7gal w/One Shot. So, this week she is recovering from a calcium deficiency because my (now former) hydro store completely lagged on my 5 gal of Herc. Damn you , ZenHydro!!!! Hence, lots of sacrificed and cooked leaves, but of course the buds are fine π.

Bossy_Marmalade The time is quickly approaching, when these three girls will be harvested and whole-plant dried for like 2 weeks or so. I believe I will be harvesting this coming weekend after I check the maturity of the trichomes. I'm hoping that Big Lemon produces at least 2 LBS of dried flowers.

Bossy_Marmalade Flushed yesterday. I want to harvest friday or saturday, but I would like to get in one more flush.
Well today is the day. All three are coming down on this holy day, 4/20/19. Im going to turn my customized grow tent into a dark dry room for at least two weeks (Aprox temp: 50-60*/ Aprox RH: 50%). Im also going to do my best to keep Big Lemon in one piece and do a whole plant hang dry. I will be placing the smallest budding plant (The Cheese) into a smaller tent with plenty of light and Co2.
However, it is only day 56 into true flower (+ 2 weeks of transition=70 days of flower) for Big Lemon. It has a recommendation of 60-70 days, according to the breeder. I lend some credence to breeder flowering suggestions, because most of the time their relatively accurate.
Its gonna be a busy day, and ill be sure to post before an after harvest pics/vids. Happy 4/20 Yall π
This grow was overall fantastic. Like my diary title reads: 1Plant.1Pound. The breeders at Philosopher Seeds know how to put out some amazing genetics. This plant grew like some dank amazonian weed-tree. This thing grew in size so vigorously. However, with my schedule and other plants to tend to, things got out of hand with Big Lemon. She was just too big for her 5gal pot, and some damage caused by nutrient deficiency before I could properly amend the soil. She just ate everything, and its hard to not over water. So, I began feeding her 2-3 liter of feed twice or three times a day; if it was a warmer day then soil was dry enough to lightly feed three times. Its basically a soil-less medium grow, because of an extended veg period and my failure to transfer her before initiating flower. There were also space issues, resulting in her burnt tops; those beautiful, fat tops. So fat, yet so burnt.
Full disclosure--I may have missed a feed here or there, hence all the crunchies on her tops. I got caught up with my studies and neglected my baby. My greatest shame π
The other Lemon OG Candy came out splendidly, however.
Hey, every one!!! throw out some guesses about the total dry weight of big lemon! Come on lets see those guesses!

Bossy_Marmalade (Update: 4/20/19)
Please stand by while they dry.
(Update
Everything is going great though! The smell is very strong now; no more cut grass smell. From looking at all three today, I believe that some of the smaller branches will be done drying and ready for trimming and weighing in a day or two.
I have one guess for dry weight of Big Lemon, any other guesses?? Remember, the picture of Big Lemon hang drying looks like its two plants, but its all Big Lemon; I had to cut it off to be able to hang it. The amputated branch left of the main plant is bigger than my other two plants alone!
(Update 5/2/19)
Woah...Okay. So after drying the whole for about nine days, and trimming for four days, Big Lemon's dry weight SO FAR is about 430ish grams of super dense and sticky nugs. Its amazing that I got more big bud than I got popcorn nugs from such a big plant.
I have one more 1/2 gal Mason Jar of untrimmed tops to finish, then I'll post pics or a vid of the weigh up and glamour shots etc..
Oh, almost forgot, Little Lemon produced about 40 grams of very nice bud. This surpassed expectations because, although it was planted on the same day as Big Lemon, it was the runt of the bunch because it got pushed out of the main tent that had all the lights and Co2 environment and everything. It spent much of late veg under a very weak light. I remember how limp it was when I gambled on it and chose to switch her over to 12/12. But it was totally worth it in the end!
Alight back to work for me. Check back later today for pics, vids!
(Final Update: 5219 @11:09pm PT)
Its done. Its finally done! I had to trim both plants with my own two hands! So Exhausting, yet so rewarding.
So above are several videos of the weighing. Grand total for Big Lemon is 14oz of prime top shelf nugs, and about 3oz of nice popcorn/LARF (they are separated as shown above in a video. Forgive me for not throwing it all together to weigh it, I spent a long, long, very long time trimming and sorting and canning the buds according to their respective grade/quality. I may add one more update to show their respective weights.
Oh and little lemon produced about an 1 1/2 oz of prime nuggets and quite a bit of popcorn/LARF, which I haven't gotten around to weighing yet.
So, Grand Grand total of Both Lemon OG Candy (amazing job with this beast of a strain, Philosopher seeds) is about 18.5oz, or 1lb 2.5oz for two plants; 15.6oz of which is entirely made up of top-shelf buds π
Damn I love SoCal, I didnt even need to run carbon filters because no one be trippin about a lil stink weed.
Thanks to those for following this grow! Tell me what yall think! Cant wait to see some comments from all you growers out there.
(Update: smoke review after a week or two of cure)
This Lemon OG Candy had an extended veg period, about 4 months maybe a little longer, and I harvested her on day 56 of flower (recommended harvest 60-70 days) because of the size/distance to light and her root-bound problems. The results so far, a very uplifting and stimulating quality.
Oh hell yea! Big ups to my #NFTG fam, @800peace!I use Herculean Harvest too, and a ton of it! There is nothing else out there like it. the piss smell is something ive heard people report. I believe it is starting to react with air and stuff bc its been around for a bit. At least thats what ive heard people say. I get the pepto tho lol!
Are you running Bloom Khaos!?!?!
Oh you definitely should consider BK, its really unbelievable especially as a foliar. Get ready for them to put on some height too; foliar in veg makes em bushy less space bw flower sites as well as a bunch more flower sites; then, root drench in flower makes em stretch to enlongate dem bud sites. However, you always want to go like 6:1 of Herc and BK for drench to begin and then bump up from there. Also, your soil is huge when using BK, bc if their isnt enough Calcium the plant gets really sad real quick. I reccomend adding some One Shot in their to keep things good. Never use BK with a slurry test of below 200ppms.
Hey thanks @800peace! appreciate the comments, and the side lighting is super great for getting through the canopy from all angles. Bc this, I got big ol' buds way deep down in the canopy.
Well, I'm a bit cagey about the nutrients i use, bc most people never heard of em, thus think its bunck and therefore wont understand how and why they are radically different and far superior to all other salt based nutrient lines (FF, GH, etc.). Its called Nectar for the Gods, a real small company out of Oregon, the line is more labor intensive bc requires frequent but smaller feedings bc this line is completely hydrolyzed, so you feed the plant directly instead of feeding the soil, which breaks down nutrients salts which then feed the plant. In addition to this organic line, I actively monitor my microbial colonies to maintain constant health and nutrient uptake. If you would like, i can break down my line in more detail bcs its quite a bit.
