Slowly adding weight. More spots on leaves still thinking a deficiency as it has slowed since I started adding calmagic. Thinking of starting flush next week but not seeing any amber trichromes yet.
2 nd tent ( plant 3 ) exploded in growth. Slowed a bit but still adding about and inch every couple days
Best way to tell when harvest ready. 2 were planted at same time but experience different major stresses and stunting. They seem to be growing at different sched as flowering is around week behind the other. Does early stress affect auto flower " clock "
Hi @Walleyguy Basically the most reliable and hands on way to guage your plants matureness is to purchase
a small handheld jewellers type loupe magnifier that is around the 30x mark.
With this you simply look at the buds closely to view the trichome glands. These are the key to what makes us
happy and high when we consume our weed. The trichomes should have all turned opaque in colouration with atleast 20% of them progressed to what is referred to as amber in colour. Waiting until then to harvest will ensure
you get the best effect possible from all of your hard work growing these lovely ladies's I hope this solves your question and Best of luck mate
Hey these burned tips and spots in combination with the really dark green leaves are nutrient burn from excess nitrogen. She is reaching the final stage of flowering where you need to cut most of your nitrogen out and give her the ripening nutrients. Looks like she is getting close. Will be a nice harvest
I had the wrong name for my genetics. It was fast buds girl scout cookies. I need to give credit where credit due. Harvest on first two plants coming soon.
@Walleyeguy, best of luck. I bought 2 dec buckets but have been to scared to actually try it now lol. Wish you the best of luck. And I feel your pain with the heat and humidity. Broke a hundred and humidity is constantly up there too. Good luck fighting mother nature.
@Denzul, thanks. Getting nervous with the heat and humid conditions as I approach harvest. But I got things tuned good now for coco. Its quite different than soil. Lol. Might try straight hydro r-dwc for my purple gorilla for my next show.
I posted a solution to your issue. Hope it gets you headed in the right direction. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Good luck finishing her up.
@Wicked_Stix, agreed. Always a new challenge. I'm gonna do my next grow coco again. But non auto hindu kush or purple gorilla so I can get dialed in before flower.
Then I'm gonna make a dyi 2 bucket r-dwc. With reservoir bucket out of tent. So new learning curve.
@Walleyeguy, as soon as the stretch stops I try to start backing off of it. It seems to build up pretty fast after that. There is always a new challenge in this hobby.
@Wicked_Stix, 4 N for part a 1 for od 1 cal mag and 2 for b52.
So yeah could be too much nitrogen especially if shes not using it. Old cal mag I was using was 4 N I replaced it calmagic as it was less N. It will be final flushed soon. So I'll probably top up with just cal mag water and bud candy next couple days then start flush early next week ( only need a week with coco i hear ). My two plants are running about week and half apart in development for some reason, so I'm trying to get them timed for same harvest date ( using tent to dry ). In about 3 or 4 weeks my 3rd plant will ready which is in separate tent. That one I've been using coco techniques I picked up on first 2. She's a beast. Over 30 inches and vertical growth hasn't stopped yet.
Bud sites are popping up everywhere. I dont want same issues for that one so I'll try to dial back the N where possible with that one. Maybe less base nutes more booster. I think big bud coco is 0-4-4. Less b 52 for final weeks. Thanks for the advice.
