Started getting cal def on the kush at 2.5 ml gal so I bumped back up to 3.75 as it caused some ugliness on some sugar leaves.
I am supposed to switch from liquid Koolbloom for the next week to dry koolbloom.
My trics all still appear clear so I am hoping it is not too early. ANy experience will help if you can offer a suggestion.
I posed this advice query last week as an update but I don't think it was read and was not responded to, so I will repeat my questions to more experienced growers
"Now, as I am approaching the end, I need some advice. Aside from trics, is there any other way to determine approx how long left in the grow? I need to change my nutes to end stage stuff (adding dry koolbloom, phasing out unneeded nutes, and finally the flush. ) I am super worried about getting the timing right. Besides trics, are there any other clear signals that we are rounding the corner to the final stretch? Thanks in advance.
Also, I live in a dry environment. A desert, actually. For real. It seems like dry trimming will be very important for me if I do not want it to smell like alfalfa after the cure. Any thoughts on dry trimming? I know it is more work, but the results seem better. My plan, so far, is to hang the entire plant upside down in 1 piece to dry. The only question is, how many of the large fan leaves to leave on. Some leave all, some leave only the small ones in the buds. Any thoughts will help me decide along with my other research. Thanks!"
The time lapse just doesn't seem that interesting during later flower. I made a mistake with the server and am debating phasing it out. I will decide soon.
But please. Calling all experienced growers! I have done a really good job of my 1st grow so far, and i am surprised and delighted by it exceeding my higher expectations.
But now variables come into play that are overwhelming for a first timer as far as end stage quality, during the final part of flowering and ripening and curing.
I have been blessed with big, beautiful frosty buds. I really want to ensure I finish, ripen, cure, and dry them correctly. I have been blessed so far, but right now is make or break time for my late flowering. I need experience that I dont have.
If you can offer advice based on your own real world experiences as far as these timings, please do. I may not take it exactly, but everyone elses experiences can help me gauge my next move. Thank you all in advance for advice, and for supporting, following, commenting, and such on my first grow. I really love this place. Thanks to the devs for giving us this space.
I am watering daily in coco, so i can adjust very quickly if conditions change rapidly, if that point is not obvious.
And once again, i am grateful you all have commented on my grows in the past. My inexperience is coming into play in a major way as far as timing for end stage nutes and flushing and how far in advance to do this and drying/trimming in desert like very low RH conditions. If you can assist me with your own experiences in any of these areas, i would be oh so grateful. Thanks again, in advance, to all my fellow gardeners.
Thanks, I am actually on day 19 today. Been trying to decide where to do a journal. This place won. I got some cool stuff including the time lapse video that will start showing up in week 3.
@Mr_Matics, have you grown any of these strains yourself? At this point, Mango Cream, Seemango, and Reek'N are very far behind the rest. I am wondering if the heat is too much for them or they are longer to get moving than the other strains. Thanks!
EDIT: never mind, at lights on they decided to sneak up and come to life overnight, it seems. All 3 of them a little behind but now hot on the trail.
@ennui,that's good π I've grown barneys but heard good things about others. You've got a good set up and a good base to start so u don't need to worry to much have faith my friend ππ»π
Fantastic grow! You have done extremely well for a first timer. Way better than me. ha ha.. If I was to make a suggestion, I would recommend you try a mono grow of your most successful strain next time. you will learn how to finesse the ripening process more easily . Right now your beautiful buds are showing wonderful trichome development but its not clear that your plant is going to mature correctly to deliver you optimal results because your nitrogen levels are still too high and I doubt these levels will be in range by the time your trics mature. Watch out for diminishing smell in your garden also, another sign you are over cooking things. Finishing perfectly is hard and most of us, myself included, are always working on its nuances. Either way, you have done well enough already to say you have knocked it out of the ball park. Congrats.
Not sure if I understand. Does the watts per sq' change for breeders, Barnes? Curious to know your thoughts.
Interesting to hear about your super skunk. My Skunk Afghan cross (Green Crack) is running late, I believe, Hard to be sure because in the dark past I have erred on the side of running a strain too long and ending up with hay, Hopefully Mulch will not leave it that long. lol. I am running the exact same plant for a 2nd time now. Its structure and appearance is completely different this time because of change in nute schedule and lower lighting. I am hoping to be on schedule this time but based on what you are saying, I shouldn't be too optimistic.
@biggreens420, I wish i knew, lol. I am anxious for many reasons to get these ladies in jars, and oddly enough, getting high on them is the last of those. I am monitoring trichs, but they are still going. Buds keep leaning over which I assume means more weight, so if they have more in them, they have more in them. I would rather sooner as that is why I used Dry Koolbloom last week, but we don't seem to be there yet on their clock
@@Tryhard, ty!. All 6 smell at the moment so I am not quite sure in isolation what the Auto Seemango smells like. I did rub my finger up the stem toi check for you, and it was fruity. Good luck with your grow!
This grow looks beautiful mate. Fantastic job you have done here in this massive room you've made.
I cannot wait to see more grows from you!!!!
Keep it up :D
@mulch, Don't mention it buddy. It's always great to have more growers on this site who are about being friendly and helpful. I can't wait till you are the one giving kind words to future growers. Keep it up because you are well on your way :D
@DabCrab, thank you!
Staying the course hoping to cruise to 1st harvest with no problems. Crossing my fingers.
And I am ALSO looking forward to more grows from me!
π
Thanks for the kind words!
@@GrowThings, i accidentally put my dry weight in the wet weight on this site, i just corrected that. i didnt weigh it before drying or trimming, so i got 280 grams dry trimmed, including popcorn but not sugar leaf.
@ItsLegalInMyHouse, thanks a lot. My 2nd grow didn't start as strong, so wish me luck on the finish. Also, the jars of weed in my cupboard are thanks enough, lolololol!
Dude! I am a victim of speed bud too! One of them was an auto and finished in time. Other one... Not so much. I couldn't kill him. Now she has her own tent. You can check out from my diaries she is huge but very troubled. ^^ happy growing
@growmcnoob,There is something wrong with that auto, I think. I had 3 Speed Buds and 2 didn't turn. They were certainly healthy and vigorous and the one who is growing at 20/4 has beautiful buds, nothing like yours tho!. Good luck, gonna keep an eye on your grow!
@Dtrain, They are out of control. I am afraid I am going to have to get rid of 2 if it keeps up. I think the stretch is mostly over, but wow, I got very overwhelmed very fast. How did your stretch go and what size pots? Coco as well?
Start a diary, brotha!
For your first grow... you did GREAT!! Heck if you finish your first grow with 50% of your plants you did well π
But you did great happy for ya ππ»
