The two smaller plants in 3 gals got the chop and trim and are drying. The heftier girl in 5 gal gonna get another week or so. The leathery/lemony pheno sporting some crazy foxtaily (bead/pearl) buds the likes of which I've not seen before in real life. Cool stuff I’m looking forward to the smoke 😎.
Update: the dry-down went quicker than expected. Vaped it, and it's the best herb I've grown to date and I'm very excited.
I was hoping the bead / pearl / foxtail pheno would be even more powerful. I vaped it, too, but it's not. Hah. Luckily, it is similar in taste and effect and power to Runty's buds, so the pearl shape is just a low-yield flower pheno but the quality is OK so I'm cool with it.
The Big Kahuna comes down next week. Gave her a final water with some recharge.
Grower's love to you all.
@Gutismoke102, thanks for checking it out! That’s cool you’re growing the photo version - I’d expect it to finish similarly if you veg it for ~6 weeks (as that’s how long these autos took to flip). I can’t imagine the photo needing to flower more than 11 weeks. Hope that helps & I look forward to following / checking out your grow!
I don't mean to leave bad comments or anything not throwing shade at you as a grower... Just curious if you think your leaves look really dark and glossy? Like too me they do. Iv'e started a crusade against Advanced Nutrients, not because I think it's bad.... But because I'm starting to believe it's genuinely bad for cannabis growing... Like the amount of nitrogen the plant should be intaking from the Nutrients should be near zero as you want to clean the plant up a bit.. But using the 3 part Formula by AN you can not do this.. Pm me if you like to talk more about this or if you think an A$$hole and want me to remove this comment. I will gladly do that... I just do you see what I see???
@Smoke_Weed_Maintain, yes Dark green leaves can be a bad sign at any point in time really. Glossy and dark is an indicator or high nitro levels just like clawing. Tip burn is more in relation to uptake issues and sudden surge of nutrients then it is to any nitrogen intake. But you seem to have your ducks in a row. Have fun and happy growing. Like with the right nutrients Chemicals don't have to equal tip burn.
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, thanks for the comment and for checking out my plant pics. One plant in particular has that dark green leathery(/glossy) look to it big time--but it smells and appears significantly different from the other two--so I'm inclined to think it's just a different phenotype. I'll try to get some more photos up soon to show what I'm talkin' bout with that.
Are dark green leaves in flower a bad thing? If the issue was too much Nitrogen, I think that would cause tip burn and/or (if it's way too much) clawing of fan leaves. I don't see too much (if any) of either of those symptoms here, so for time being I'm not concerned.
@ThatWasEasy, 3.7 oz, very pleased with that one, versus the 3 gal pots (which yielded 1.5oz and 2.1 oz, respectively). Makes me want to ditch 3 gallon pots moving forward, but I can't say for sure that was the only factor at play. Thanks so much for checking out the grow!
