Update from last week that I forgot: I gave her a final feed at 75%...
WEEK 25 DAY 1 ... omg... ๐๐๐
It really took me half a year to finish this one... unbelievable... ๐
Well, so far I'm still super happy. Everything seems to go just fine but I'll never do this again..haha.. (vegging under a 50W bulb xD)...
Soooo... looking at the trichs, I think the harvest window has just opened. There's still a lot of clear but the cloudy ones are starting to come and there's already a little amber on the leaves. I suppose I'm really close to harvest now. I'll be flushing her next time for sure.
First, I'll feed her a low nutrient solution, maybe around 25% and half of the usual water quantity because I'm not that sure about when she really finishes so she dries out more quickly. Next, I'll use Grotek Final Flush right before I'll chop her down. I don't want to use this right away because last time my plants were dying a bit too fast so.. not to be repeated ;)
Getting impatient now. Hopefully it will be a White Christmas...haha!
DAY 2
Gave her one last feed at 25%. Poured only half of the usual water quantity. Left the BloomComplex totally aside because she seems like she's doing a little 'clawing'. Maybe there's too much Nitrogene? Trichs are beginning to get cloudy, with a little amber in between.
I'll flush her with plain ph'd water tomorrow probably or should I wait some more days? What do you think? I'm never sure when the time is right... :/
DAY 3
I just took some more pictures with a macro lens attached to my iPhone. Seems like the buds in the middle do have way more amber than the other ones around which have swollen more compared to the ones in the middle but have less amber. The last days, I didn't check the ones in the middle so I changed my mind. I just flushed her with Grotek Final Flush. I'll wait for some hours for the solution to break down the salts and then I'll flush again to get rid of the flushing solution.
I'm also gonna switch the timetable to 8/16. (16 hours of dark) and I'll drop the temperatures some 2 more degrees.
@Skunky,will wait and see but you have done a good job training her and if its feminised should be a girl when you found that seed it could of been anything that caused it even a. bit of stress but so far so good
@@Tryhard, Thanks a lot master! I'm not so sure about that 'girl'-thing though... I found a seed in a plant that was grown from feminized seed. It somehow hermied a bit and as far as I know, there's no way to tell which gender it will have although some think, it will be female since it was grown from feminized seeds ... hmm... I'll see... thanks again :)
@Skunky, someone I know said the dark devil was a beautiful smoke , it's on the list , just a bit behind all the others ๐ The blackberry is very flavoursome , I'm an auto man at the moment , but I do love a bit of kush ๐ฑ
@BigDaddyK, thanks man! Just had a look at your blackberry journal... damn, that's a nice one to try! Awesome work! I still have some Dark Devil autos lying around here, to try a colored strain, but the blackberry will sure be one of the next! Thanks for that journal! Very interesting :)
@@Tryhard, I'm so happy too xD!! Never thought it would turn out this way considering I had it under such poor conditions hehe. I'm stoked so far :-))) Thanks man! Much appreciated!!!
@Skunky,well it gonna be a beauty, looks like you lst have it a beautiful flat canopy! I have high hopes for this one!
Keep calm smoke the bomb and gro on!
@Skunky, Thank you, my usernames a bold statement which should hopefully drive me to live up to it.
Act like it's the truth till it is, My crap don't stink๐
Looking absolutely beautiful buddy. I love how even your canopy has turned out! Keep up all the great work. I'll be waiting around to see the harvest :D
@Skunky, Indeed so, lol. I forget to move things around for one day and all heck breaks loose. I just moved my plants around to flush them a bit and I ruined my perfect canopy. It's just part of life I guess. I'm happy you've been so lucky with everything. It all looks great buddy, keep up the hard work :D
@Ripper, yeah... that's mostly because I did veg her under a 50W bulb for weeks first. Didn't intend to grow her to the end at first but she looked so nice so I didn't kill her... xD... never again... ! I think she could have turned out way better if I did the whole thing under good lights from the start but duh' it was a fun experiment training her so much :) Thanks man!
@biggreens420, and I learned a LOT from this grow actually. I think this is going to be my best one so far... Can't wait to finish this one hehe... Thanks a bunch!!!
@BigDaddyK, That's theory... you don't know me jet xD... the bigger the plant, the larger the chances I will mess up.. LOL! I'm usually more into autoflowers so this is gonna be a challenge! Thanks man ;)
@JankaTheDeaf, Thanks a bunch! Sounds great, and even more because actually it is just 1 plant xD... if it looks like it's several of them I think I reached my goal hehe :) thanks again :)
@biggreens420, Maybe I'll try dropping the temps even more to get a really nice fade. Never had a plant really turn into autumn colors so this might be the first time, with a bit of luck :)
@Tonino, Thank you! Much appreciated! It's not that easy to get really decent pics under these leds I think. Hard to get some details in there without additional light...
@TheFairyBudMother, Thank you so much! It's a pleasure sharing and watching others grows as well! I really love this site for it's visual and graphical style to display journals. Best I've found so far. Really nice to flip though weeks and stuff! Have a great day Fairy :)
@KonopCh, oh this makes me so happy. I don't consider myself an experienced or good grower you know... but to see I'm on the right path certainly IS a satisfaction! Thank you so much! ๐ ๐๐
What a lovely looking canopy you have here. Great work training and topping all that. I can't wait to see how she develops after she switched over to flower.
@DabCrab, Thanks a lot! And yeah, me too! I've actually never grown such a 'big' plant so I'm a bit nervous to see what will happen next and if all goes well... :)
@Mr_Di, Hey there! Thanks a lot! So far it has been easy. I'm more afraid of putting it into flower. That's when things always start getting messy... :) I'll sub back ^^ Thanks!
