Ok, this is my 1st grow ever and i am pretty proud so far with my efforts. I have flushed my girl down to 115ppm's and will now just be watering her without any nutrients at 5.8 p.h.
The trichomes on the buds are still brilliantly clear, so hopefully over the next few days they will become milky and start to turn a little amber in readiness for harvesting.
I have noticed that the bud sizes are not as large as some of the other bud sizes displayed on this website. I don't know if it is something i have done wrong or i have not done something i should have, any ideas fellow growers as i have a couple of other diaries that are flowering and perhaps i can change something now to perhaps increase the overall bud size?
I have enjoyed growing my medicine and please return back next week for an update on perhaps the harvesting of my girl.
Well if you have like my posts click then please click "LIKE", takes 2 seconds. Peace Bros.👍
Very nice buds and trichome development.. If you want more buds, give longer light schedule, stronger light (unless you’re outdoors), bigger pot size and I’d raise your ph to between 6.0-6.5
@MaryJaneMD, I could get totally lost with the amount of information i have read on what's right and what's wrong and to be honest there is a side to both sides. I only defoliated due to the room in my grow tent, plus all my girls were happy and thriving. They are all now stress free and exploding into life again. I want to thank you for your advice and equally i would like to pass on any success i gain by experimenting with known truths. I have taken on-board what you have advised for light cycle, heat and PH up and i have taken advice of down dressing my girls in as well. My diary of all my girls are on here,so if you and i can experience this together and if it is a total disaster then i will have no one else but myself to blame. 😘
@Whazza, of course, I appreciate that you took my advice. I do want to advise not to totally defoliate at one time, especially on autoflowers. As you mentioned, it can stress and stunt their growth. And of course, aut Flowers are ticking time bomb. I don’t recommend completely defoliating. I usually do defoliate lower half as they’re kinda worthless but top leaves, I’d only trim ones that are completely blocking the light. For stressed plants, b-52 by advanced nutes and seaweed extract will help.
@MaryJaneMD, Great advice Mary Jane, nice one. I have immediately changed the light cycle to 18/6 from 12/12 for all my other ladies and i have upped the PH to 6.2 from 5.8. I have also totally defoliated my ladies to the bone.
At first they went into shock but now with the change in light schedule, upping the PH they are bouncing back really aggressively.
Thanks for your advice chick, it's much appreciated
@KonopCh,No offence taken matie, you are right i should really use the most current pics at that time of the grow diary. I am going to use the excuse that i am a newbie at this and still very much learning and sharing what i have so far produced. Not entirely sure if my grows are good, bad or ugly at this point, but looking at others on here with a bit more experience i hope to succeed with what knowledge i have gained.
I have amended all my grow diary avatars with current pics of my grow and will update my Avatar to reflect the true images going forward.
Cheers Buddy👍
@Whazza, sorry on this words ---> I am really angry when I see beautiful plants which has hard buds in 5-6 weeks. Of course then I click diary and I see "dissaster" which is not flowering yet. Avatars should be from "live" plants, that's my opinion. This message isn't just for you, for all who does this. My opinion of course, we are just talking, no ofense. ✋
@AlaskanGrownCaliRaised,I am hoping so, not sampled a tug as yet, but she smells absolutely amaze balls. It smells that good that i don't want to smoke it if you know what i mean. She is sticky like touching a honey pot.
I will update you once i have had an opportunity to smoke this beauty.
Peace bro👍
@ElevatedThinking, If i am honest it smells a little like red grapefruit you buy in your local supermarket rather than Pineapple, but it still smells amazing and now i have turned off giving her Nutes, she should get really frosty by the end of the week in readiness for harvest.
She is extremely sticky to touch and her buds look a little small in comparison to others on this site, but it might be a blessing in disguise me thinks!!😃
Those buds are looking very nice and frosty! congratulations on growing such a beautiful plant 👍 Will you give her a day or 2 or complete darkness before harvest? I have been doing that for a while now and it seems to really bring out some nice fat trichs and beautiful color change depending on the strain. Keep up the great work! I will be checking back to see the harvest results
