@yoooooo, It's better to wait until you see mostly cloudy/milky with some amber trichomes showing up. My last grow I had 1 ripen early and a couple that took longer than the rest. It's just a matter of waiting. You have five plants to play with you can harvest them at differnt stages see which you like better. The one with the dried pistils looks nice you can see the calyx are starting to plump up like little grapes which is good this means shes gaining more weight so your closer to harvest

Hey everyone, another quick question. I am watering with RO water. I feed every 3rd or 4th watering. In between feedings I will be only adding cal-mag with my RO water. Is there a progressive PPM scale i should follow or not exceed for plant age/size

@Fitzwell, Thank you

Fitzwellcommented5 years ago

@yoooooo, I add cal mag first and I only add 50 -150 ppm to my RO water

She's not ready you can still feed her some more. I would feed her another week then see where she stands. Feed her every other watering. When about 50% of the white pistils are drying and have turned orange is when you should start checking the trichome color. It will change from clear to cloudy/milky then to amber. Most growers are harvesting when they have about 5% to 30% amber trichomes. If you check your trichomes now with a 40x led lighted jewelers loupe(Amazon .com) you will see mostly clear with some half cloudy trichomes. I'm guessing but you may have at least 2+ weeks left before harvest going by your current photos. The buds usually put on the most weight during this time.

@yoooooo, What's the worse thing that could happen they get fatter? I my first Afghani grow I flushed a bit soon it actually took another three weeks before I harvested her so I could have gotten another week of feeding in on her. It's really tough to guestimate when you really need to flush. Right now I typically shoot for at least 10 days to flush them. Not all strains are the same.

@Philindicus, took your advice. Fed her 3.75ml of micro, 7.5ml of bloom and 4ml of sweet. For about 500ppm. I will look at it again next week and reassess. Thanks for the help

@yoooooo, It's your grow so it's your call she'll probably fatten up anyways during your flush

Is there more than one plant? I would treat them all differently they may not all be ready at the same time. One looks further along than the rest by your photos. If any still have all white pistils keep feeding them nutes. The one with the dried pistils looks like its getting closer. Hard for me to tell whats up but it's your call.

Looks great she's starting to get frosty! I would give her some GH Liquid Kool Bloom 0-10-10 the extra phosphorus and potassium will help build and bulk up those buds. Use half strength nutes. Are you using GH flora bloom? You should be dropping floragrow this week you don't need the extra nitrogen at this point of bloom. https://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-DTW_03216am.pdf

@Philindicus, yes I'm using bloom. Just forgot to add it to the diary list. Thanks for reminding me.

But maybe feed once a week for sure like every Monday or something as most nutrients have a routine on the box but I usually cut everything they say in half so if it says use 5ml I use 2 if it says feed this amount week 2-5veg I cut it in half

Looking great! You are really only giving her 1L of water? 0.0 xD

viscocommented5 years ago

@yoooooo, ahh okay. I feel that haha, I give my plants like 3L every 2-3 days so I know what u mean ;p.

yoooooocommented5 years ago

@visco, Grow diaries only has an option for how much water per 24hrs. I only water like once every 5 days. And then I just water till I get run off at the botton. Then I don't water again till the bucket feels lite

very good pics man😎👍

Philindicuscommentedweek 85 years ago

Also are you using LED lights? The color looks a bit purple/blue heavy. You should be using more red for bloom.

Philindicuscommentedweek 85 years ago

Hope I was able to answer your grow question. Feel free to message me anytime. Looking forward to following your grow.👍

Hi @yoooooo! Warning: FoxFarm soil is known to be very hot, I've seen a lot of growers burning their plants with it and I see you're also experimenting a slight Nitrogen toxicity. I won't use any nutrients unless the plants are asking for it, you will easily notice and fix a CalMag deficiency or a Nitrogen deficiency, whereas it can be very difficult to get rid of a toxicity once it has happen. With autoflowers, less is more, simple is better. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information. Happy growing! 👊
