You should go by the color of the pistils and trichomes to estimate when to stop your nutes and start your flush. When about 50% of the pistils have turned brown/red and start to curl all the ways in you should start checking the trichome color. Once you see about 50% half cloudy trichome you should start your flush ideally about 2 weeks before harvest give or take a few days. Depending on what type of high you like will determine at what stage of color change of the trichomes to harvest her. Mostly cloudy/milky with 5% to 30% amber is usually a good range. The more amber the more of a body high you'll have off her. Is this just one plant or more than one? Also it would be a good idea to try to lower your humidity if possible.

@Joah420, sounds like your doing the best you can with the humidity I'm sure it goes up and down between waterings.as long as you have good air circulation in there you should be good.

@Philindicus, man this is great information thank you very much, thanks for taking the time to explain it all! In total there is 7 critical 2.0 in 10ltr pots and 1 xxx moby dick in 10ltr :)! I've tried everything to reduce humidy it sits between 50-60 currently 😫 I have a full extractor/carbon filter setup, however it's max for 6 plants could be reason its not pulling the extra bit, also have a 2 ltr dehumidifier in there too to try help which seems to be collecting decent volumes of water, would you reccomend anything else pal? Great info man honestly 🙏

I’m UK based as well. My advice – just don’t tell anyone what you are up to. Keep it to yourself 100%. Your grow looks a lot like mine. I’m just using a smaller space, 4 square feet with 300w LED. I started with 9 seeds as well. 2 didn’t sprout in my peat pellets. Will try sprouting on tissue next time. Seems to give better results. Good luck!

@Joah420, 300w seems to be working for the space. My understanding is the light strength impacts the square footage your can grow in, not the number of plants. I calculated I could fit 9 two litre pots in that space. But maybe the light strength is the reason the middle plant is the fittest? I’ll know if the same thing happens the next time as well. Next time I’ll try 9 again. But I might try some LST.

@Lucidite, rule number 1 of growing, tell no one! How are you finding 300w for 7 plants so far? I estimated i only need 1000 for my space, and could add id say up to 8 more in there however i dont want to run to risk and the maintenance on my first attempt. Thank you very much, ill keep an eye on yours :)!

@Philindicus, the finish line is in sight 👀

Joah420commented5 years ago

@DinafemSeeds, amazing stuff that's was my next question, one thing I'm unsure of before cutting them down should I let the plants dry out or continue watering, and should it be done at any time of the day or is there a specific timing for best results? The pictures don't do justice for the colours they're absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the support throughout man! 🙏

DinafemSeedscommented5 years ago

@Joah420, The finish line is super close my friend 👍 Another 5 days maximum and it will be ✂️ time 👍 You've got some huge flowers to harvest and those colours are stunning 👌 Not long now mate👊 All the best ✌️ Mark..

Yellowing at the lower leafs usually means they need more Nitro.

Luciditecommented6 years ago

@Joah420, my lower leaves have all gone yellow. But I put seedlings into soil with a starting dose of nitrogen. Been giving them Nutes since week 2. I think it was over watering. Be careful not to spread the water too far from the plant. You have gone straight into big pots. I overwatered mine and ended up locking out the nutrients. Proper watering fixed and no new yellow leaves.

@Adrenalized, thanks for the info man, much appreicated 😁🤘

@Joah420, feed them Nitro? XD You can buy some nutrients online or at a local green center. You need NPK for veg of a ratio 4-4-2. For the flowering stage you need more P and K but less N.

Looking good! I’m just through week nine. 44 days into flowering. My pistols are about 40% brown on the most advanced plant. I’m starting to watch trichomes daily. Can’t make out any cloudy ones yet. I’d say 2.5 weeks to harvest. I’ll start flushing mid week. Don’t flush too early! It has been a wet week. Hard to keep humidity down. I’m feeling it too.

@Lucidite, You're right it has, been sitting sometimes in the 60s the humidity for myself 😅😂🤐 however all seems well thankfully! Ill hold back on flushing then for the time being thank you for the info. Can't wait to see the results for both of us, been enjoying your updates each week 🙏 Edit Remove

The yellowing at the bottom of your plant is either one of two things: lack of Nitrogen, meaning your baby needs some food, or you may need to lower your light so it penetrates to the bottom. Good Luck ....

@Joah420, Thank you for the kind words and positive feedback my friend 👍 She still looks a couple of weeks away from harvest possibly another 21 day's 👊 Have you thought about adding Molasses to your feed regime as a booster? It's organic and a great additive to boost the yield and imo trichome production 👌 Thanks for this week's update mate 👊 All the best ✌️ Mark..

@lotus_bloom, hi mate after germination and placed in soil, i used a sprayer, and just created enough so top layer central was moist, and from here just sprayed regularly everytime i noticed it started to show signs of drying, then each week with more strength was able to up it, from what i read in the first few weeks they are developing a their root system to much water will cause the roots to struggle
