Flipped 12/12 on Friday 7-19 after a good flush and a light feed. Mixed a 6.3 pH at 1450ppm for 2 days into stretch to feed her what she craves. Pulled out the stakes too now that she's branched out how I want her. 10 weeks till harvest.
I added new pic sat, this is what people call week 1 of flower, I call it week six if veg because it's stretch week here , all veg. The structure and growth is exactly what I wanted. 1 foot tall, 2 feet across and thick branched. Going to have some really nice colas I think. Fingers crossed. Lastly, I'm upgrading my mars reflector 144 (720w 305w actual draw) to the new mars sp250 (230w actual draw)
This is a white full spectrum passively cooled light. The par readings are almost double the 144 at center 18", and 3 times the strength in the sides and corners. This will be here right about the end of stretch so I'm pumped. If I see a improvement over previous harvests I'll order a second one for my winter season 4x4
Had a rough start getting her to root, now all seems great and she's been in flip for 6 days. No light leaks, 1212, 81 degrees f, 50% humidity, no toxicity or deficiencies, always pH 6.3 ish and 1000-1300 ppm early flower with bloom nutes.
No white pistils ..... Should I worry?
Looking nice n lush.

Good information about nute recommendation. I had the same problem when I followed instructions. I no longer care for manufacturers recommendations.
@Puffer_Bill,
I've been doing the concentrate cocktail for a month or so? And so far I'm really digging it. Also when or if you see the plant is lacking a specific nute, you can always cut back the concentrate and sub in some of what seems to be missing. Less mix, more cal mag but same ppm for a feeding, for example. Has been pretty good
@Puffer_Bill,
So far man I am really digging it. The verdict won't be out for about 7 -8 more weeks but I have high hopes. Would love to have a inexpensive like that's reliable and also productive.
I had my first old man
(38 go easy) dumb fuck moment and it's been going on for over a year now.
My ppm meter isn't a ppm meter. It's a us/cm meter (ec meter) meaning the 1300 ppm I've been feeding the plants is actually 650ppm (1300 us/cm / 2)
So I've been half feeding for a year
Thank you so much for choosing our genetics for this adventure on the grow diary platformπ
Best of luck with the grow my friend lets see what you can do with our Sapphire OG π
We are watching with interest from Humboldt County βοΈ
Kind regards

@GunsGrows, We launched 6 new HSO releases late last year my friend and all are tearing at 20-28% THC so worth a look π
The 6 I would suggest are
OGKZ
Sugar Breath
Gorilla Breath
Three Blue Kings
Sapphire Scout
Blue Fire π
I think one of these will be perfect mate π
Kind regards βοΈ

@That_Guy,
Thanks man ! I'm anxious to see the dry weight, but I'm more looking forward to terps, flavors and effect. I smoked my precut stuff sat and 2 bowls lasted me 11 hours. I'm a 25 years daily veteran smoker. I'm excited
Now that's one frosty and colourful looking Sapphire Scout π
Those flowers look really densely structured and dripping in trichomesπ, what's not to love π€
With love from Humboldt CountyβοΈ
Kind regards

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, thanks! It's your Sapphire OG though, I'm looking forward to running the Sapphire scout soon though! Thanks for the kind words, she's coming down next week after a little fading and some time to purple up. She's slowly showing a blend of purple and light green. Great buds. Love the genetics
