Coulers are starting to shine through
1 week into flush
Week until I havest these girls
This is my 1st grow and this strain has just made me fall in love with growing I would recommend this strain to everyone thanks everyone that's helped me out I really owe what I now from you guys on hear so thank you blueboy UK.....
The biggest I have seen was a glueberry OG. As for the fastest mostreputable breeders have a few fast strains in their auto flowers. Dinafem is always on point .
@Blueboy2019, nice one, the pictures help a lot!
see all those white hairs sticking out? those are called pistils and they will eventually turn to an amber colour.
when about 50-75% of pistils turn amber and curl in towards the bud this is a rough indicator that the plant has matured enough to be harvested.
most of your pistils on the buds are white and sticking straight out instead of curling in so i would suggest just keeping an eye on it the next two weeks.
you can see the budlets as i call them growing behind the pistils these budlets will continue to swell until they become buds in 2 weeks or so.
watch them grow bigger in the next few weeks and in about 2 weeks when they more or less reach full maturity then you want to flush them :) are you growing in soil or soilless?
Was this your 1st attempt at growing ever!? Or just growing soiless? The buds look pretty big... I feel like I see a lot of soiless grows get some pretty nice yields.
@Blueboy2019,nice, should make a difference, and yeah 6-7 is good for soil. 5.6-6.2 for soilless :) and just ensure you calibrate yout ph meter. i did mine a few days ago, it was reading 7.6ph when the liquid i was using to test was 7.0ph. you want ph buffer 7 and ph buffer 4 for a 2 point calibration. i dont calibrate the high point as weed likes an acidic soil anyways :)
@JuicyFruit,lights off atm till about 3 so got few hrs yet but fan will be increased and top holes will be opened see what happens after that and pH is always 6.0/6.5
@Blueboy2019, has to be the extraction fan not powerful enough to remove the hot air. what m3/hr rating does your fan have? crank the fan up and open the intake hole more to make it cooler. i dont use an intake fan but you probably need one as your using HID lights
Hi mate - looking great! I jsut started my seedlings but they arnt looking healthy. I wonder if you could give me soem advice, my seedlings look sick, yellowing/curling little leafs and only 1 week old. Any advice would be greatly appreciated- it’s my first time.
@Hotstepper501, no not at 1st,,, spay the dome abit with water place It straight over the plant and after 2 days put a hole in it leave for a day or 2 and then take it off she should b stronger then mate
Not ready for flush yet. Your temp and humidity are out of wack. Temp a bit high humidity too low. This is causing slow growth. Stomata will close at these settings. Try for something like 82* and 45% humidity at this stage of growth. Extend your lights on to 18 hours. I think you should take the light up a bit as well. 18" is to close for an hid and is stressing the plants a bit. Try 24" then go to 28." This is all my opinion and experience. I hope this helped and good luck!!
@Budzablazin,yh 400 sorry mate lol and I've had to change it over to the 400 because off the temp they where hitting 30s 31c but when I changed over to the 400 it's like 27c so I don't want them to get stressed of from to much heat but I want max yeild lol and the I think the girl at the front is like 2 weeks in front back to took a lot longer to germinate.. Thank u very much... Happy growing my friend
@Blueboy2019, hey bro, they are looking good from what I see on the video! I assume you mean 400watt not 40. I wouldn't switch lights. Looks like the 2 in the back are a bit behind the front girls. They love intense light in flower stage. Looks like plenty of nutrition in the leaves to start flushing and get a nice fade going while they fatten and ripen up.
@Budzablazin,Hiya mate could do with some edvice again 3 weeks tomorrow so its flush time week tomorrow I've switched from a 600watt hid to a 40watt hid will this be OK for the last 3 weeks thanks blueboy UK
@Blueboy2019,
WEEK 1 drying:
roughly 7 days slow dry @ around 20C, 40/50% humidity and then once it feels nice and dry on the outside -
WEEK 1 CURING:
jar it up in a 1L jar preferably, fill about 3/4 full if possible and open about 5-6 times per day, Take a deep breath in the jar and seal it up again.
dont let any light beam into your jar for any period of time either, light will decrease THC count once the buds are off the plant :) so yeah keep it in a cupboard at the temps listed above and u should be good :)
@Reaper,yh I did tbh mate she was a pleasure all the way through just not got the tased down yet it tased like home grown if u now what I mean I didn't do the lights out 48 hrs and I didn't give it the full flush she deserves so I think that rewand the taste a lot but it was a great learning trial for me witch has already helped me with my next grow there all coming on very nicely more then likely gonna flip them in to flower in just over 3 week.. New baby on the way need the space back for when little one arrives 🙏
looks like you still have about 3 weeks or more depending on your grow conditions.
definitely improved since i last saw it but all those white hairs are still sticking out. your heat is way off at 29 that preferably should be 21-25 i would say. and i wouldnt be running lights at 24/0 at this stage. itll stress the life out of your plants and im pretty sure they produce way more THC in the dark and grow way better. they need rest just like humans. i think people using low powered lights can use a 24/0 light schedule as they dont risk burning the plant or house down. some people do it during the first few weeks but ive tried to grow using 24/0 and it just didnt work out for me. my plants hated it. id switch back to 18/6 and even consider leaving your plants in the dark for 72 hours before harvest. as i say the plant will only take longer to grow if your conditions arent right for it :) Good luck!
@URUGUAY_BOY,it was my 1st crop that one I let it cure for 3 weeks and she was great to smoke. I've found alot better strains to grow since then tho and the buds are only getting better thanks
@JuicyFruit,buds look helllllaaaa nice.. Sold same day was cured.. Nice little plant tbh but on to bigger and better should see my girls now they got just over a week left in veg and I'm gonna flip them on the 5ed..
After everyone's edvice I've got a new harvest date for my zkittles og auto .. Thank you everyone you've helped me out so much... I think barneys farm need to change the amount off time they take too harvest its more like 14 week too seed to harvest not 10/11 weeks. Abit miss leading to a beginning like me
@JuicyFruit,nice one I'm happy with them tbh they look mint in daylight can't wait for harvest still 6 weeks off smoking but it will be well worth my time I've got 10 ready to go in my veg tent soon as they come out so hoping for bigger and better stuff hope u stick around to go through it with me... Gonna add some extra nuts in to my next grow thinking
Big bud
X factor
Budcandy
And floorless finish
With the nuts I already use
Iconic grow % bloom
Calmacc
it’s your first grow so well done for getting yourself some buds dude, your growing will improve over time and I cant wait to see some photos once it’s all cut down!
When I’m looking at the leaves going purple/brown near the top, the white hairs sticking straight out and the wet/sticky appearance of the buds even after similar things a few weeks back I would say that the reason this plant has taken more than 8-12 weeks and still hasn’t fully matured is because of environmental conditions. could be anything about your grow environment to do with your lights, humidity, temps etc...
And I know your flushing the plant but all those symptoms I mentioned at the top is telling me that the plant is crying out for flowering nutrients (potassium,phosphorus,calcium,magnesium) because it is trying to mature.
It wants an ideal environment so it can finish from seed-harvest in 8-12 weeks :)
That’s just my piece anyways dude hope you can take something from it haha :)
@Blueboy2019, Go to my Mutated One diary and go to Week 9. There’s a few pictures but watch the video at the end.
It looks very similar to your plant(sticky,damp,white hairs - all a sign of premature plant :) I’d read through that then take a good look at week 10,11 and harvest to see if there’s anything I’m doing that your not :)
Other than that have a happy harvest dude!
