Home stretch baby!!! Start of week 10 of flower, and things are looking chop ready:) The ill effects of last weeks PK burn have subsided and the plants are back to healthy.
Have been checking trichomes and flower form, and based on my experience, these ladies are coming down in 6 days, October 6th. One of the plants has the hardest, densest, stickiest nug i have ever seen. So looking forward to tasting. I have been off the nutes for a few days and will be water only from here on out.
I have dusted off my old bowl trimmer and drying rack. I have always wet-trimmed and dried in a rack. I dry for about 5 days and then start jarring and burping. The bowl trimmer is soooo fast. It cuts my trim time by literally 90%, will post a video on chop day.
Updates later in week
F66 - Chopped the one girl who had a tonne of amber in her. Looks to be a good 2.5 zips when dry, time will tell if my estimate is correct, but it comes from experience. Other 7 plants coming down on F71. Check my bowl trimmer video!
Please see the 2 photos marked in the diary. Is this a classic PK burn? Did a feed with no MegaCrop, no cal-mag, just PK boost at diluted dosage. The coppering and yellowing has come sudden. Leaves are crispy where burnt. I hear its easy to burn with PK boost. Did I do that?
Looks like your very close to harvest. Typically growers will taper off their nutrients during the last couple of weeks then start a flush out of habit. The reason for this is plants tend to slow down or almost stop feeding during the last few weeks of the ripening stage. It looks like it could be PK burn do to this fact. A good way to check is to do a flush on the pots and see what the initial run off ppms are that first come out of the pot. if you have some crazy high ppms this may have been the issue. Another possibility is also light burn I notice in your photo that these plants are pretty much directly under the center of a 1000 watt light at 16". Hid lights emit infra red light so it can heat up the leaf surface. So I would perform a pre harvest flush and cut off all nutrients on them and back off your light. https://www.blackdogled.com/lst
I would wet trim those buds and cut off any discolored sugar leaves they will clean up nicely. Hope this helps๐
Epic start to the diary, I am all about a good story. I like the little grow space too.
I would throw my hat in the ring and support your thought of Barneyโs Farms. Iโm liking what Iโve experienced so far.
