Those 9 weeks count for optimal conditions. Your Girls are growing vigor and desne, so just harvest in stages

@OutForReal, Thanks. The daytime/nighttime temperatures may just be me reporting them wrongly. I am running my lights at night (heat) and have them off during the day. I suppose that means my nighttime is the plant's daytime. The temperature split is about 70°F to 81°F. The four weeks is wrong. I had my light timer messed up for about two weeks that I recorded as flowering I suspect I was still vegging which could explain why my plant is outgrowing the tent. So really this is probably week two of flowering and I am hoping to see better progress.

On day 26 I started using natural light for the photographs. I thought taking pictures under the HLG quantum board would be fine since it is not a blurple but it was washing the color out.

I would defoliate a little to expose more budsites to direct light. Drop that humidity to 50% and the last 2 weeks of flower go to 40% boost in trichome production. Lower nutrient levels after week 6-7. Flush with pH water 5 days before harvest. And day of harvest chop before lights come on and starches etc. Make it up the branches to buds.

@burnerac, You don't have to go wild with it. You can stick to the lower areas then slowly over a few weeks thin out the upper canopy a little. You can also just do some leaf tucking if you prefer on the upper canopy. You can always try some more extensive defoliating on your next grow. Usually its most beneficial to do this during the first few weeks of bloom. The most important reasons is to provide as much light to the bud sites and provide good air circulation around the plant and buds in order to help prevent mold or mildew issues later in bloom.

Philindicuscommented5 years ago

@burnerac, Its your grow so your in charge. It's normal to loose some of the oldest lower fan leaves. The upper canopy is canabilizing nutrients from the lower parts. You can let her grow naturally.Usually starting to defoliate/debudding is more beneficial once your in the first few weeks of bloom. Your actually a little late in doing it. If you prefer you can just stick to leaf tucking/tying in the upper canopy to get more light on the buds. But what you will notice is any of the lower bud sites not receiving ample light will be loose and airy not amounting to a nice dense bud structure. By temoving them your plant will put its energy to building up the buds on the upper branches. I also agree with Mrs_Larimar it would be great if you could lower your ph try to keep it under 6.0 . A lot of hydro growers seem keen on 5.6-5.8 nutrients are absorbed better in that ph range. Since your just past mid bloom increasing your phosphorus and potassium would be benficial the helping bud growth and building up some density over the next few weeks.

@Philindicus, Will do. I was avoiding defoliation because this is my first time with this strain and I wanted to see what it produced with minimal interference from me. The control so to speak so that I can judge future grows against it BUT I think I'd rather have a better harvest and some of those leaves are bugging me. That will be Sunday's project. Thanks.

You still have a few weeks to go at least. You still have mostly white pistils on your buds. I usually start checking the trichome color when about 50+% of the white pistils have dried and turned orange. I would keep feeding her until then. She will put on the most weight during the last 2-3 weeks before harvest. If possible try to get your temperatures under 80 F . Also lower your humidity to avoid issues with mildew or bud rot. 40% to 45% would be better or at least under 50%. If you zip your tent up tightly it can trap moisture so try to leave it open a bit more.

@burnerac, It's tough I struggle during the last few weeks with controlling the temperatures especially once I turn off my cool mist humidifier.

@Philindicus, Thanks. Working on that temperature and humidity. Turned my exhaust fan to max last night. Will probably open the tent vents tonight.

If you want to have a strong sprout the best thing your seed can sprout in is sand .

@Mrs_Larimar, I think it went well. I'm pleased with the 7 ounces it produced despite all the documentation suggesting I should have been able to double that. Will be starting another round shortly this time with more intense training.

Hope I was able to answer your grow question. Feel free to message me any time. Look forward to following your grow.👍

I would also suggest if your getting serious about growing to invest in a PAR meter it take the guess work out of how intense your light is in different area of your grow space. They aren't cheap but they are worth having around.👌

@Philindicus, Putting a PAR meter on the shopping list. That HLG 288V2 really fills the tent. Love my quantum board!

@Exotic_Seed, I'm quite looking forward to it. Was trying to do a soil beside the hydro but the seed was too far below the soil and I didn't realize it until too late. It died a day after I dug the leaves out.

Looks like she is off to a good start. The key to rockwool is dont let it stay too wet when the seed first sprouts. Once you get about an inch root out of the bottom the risk of suffocating drops a lot. Good luck with it!!

@burnerac,if you use root it cubes ( that brand ) you can germinate easier , I have near on 100% with good seeds , and you can use them in hydro , I found rock wool stays too wet and can rot the stems

@BigDaddyK, I failed to germinate in rockwool. Ended up doing a soil grow. This time I was going to do soil and hydro at the same time but didn't realize my seed had germinated too far below the soil. When i dug the leaf out it was too late and it died. I'm attempting to germinate another seed right now to do a soil grow and will probably just let this hydro veg longer so I can flip the soil and the hydro at the same time....if that seed germinates this weekend otherwise I'm just doing the one hydro plant.
