Day 43
First week under 315w CHM and it is just starting to flower.
I'm starting to feel like this is going to be a very large auto as it is just starting to form buds and is already quite large.
Day 49
I'm at the end of week 7. I had to go out of town for a day I was gone about 36 hours and in that time it put on 4 inches in height. It is now 27 inches tall from the top of the bucket and has a spread of 42 inches.
Day 50
Started this week off with a moderate defoliation.
Day 51
She put on 2.5" today. That brings her to 31" tall and 44" spread.
I'm getting a bit concerned about height as my tent is only 80" and with the height of the bucket she stands at 46" already.
Day 52
Another 2" of growth today. Started to notice a brown face starting on some of the mature upper fan leaves.
Day 56
End of week 8 and she has grown 18 inches this week. And is now in full on flower mode.
I finished the week off with a pretty heavy defoliation ( I hope not too much )
Mid week 8 just noticed this color change on the ends of a few fan leaves near the top. It is only noticable on the upper most 4 mature fan leaves. Nothing on the new growth. Nothing on any lower leaves. Any ideas?
Hi @T3METRO The plant seems to me healthy in general, good with nitrogen. It seems to me some chlorosis because the plant is still stretching at this stage. But it may be the beginning of a slight lack of magnesium or calcium, better to prevent and apply a larger dose of calmag. at this stage magnesium and calcium are never too much. good luck mate 👍
DAY 57
Well week 9 is not off to a great start I was adjusting the light this morning and left in wrong place for a couple of minutes while I rerouted the power cord. When I moved the light to where I wanted it I noticed the leaves and main stem at the top were limp. And upon checking in after work the stem had stiffened back up but several fan and sugar leaves were beyond saving.
Day 63
Finished out the week strong. She's a beast now standing 48" above the bucket top(63" from the ground) and has branches touching all four walls of my 4x4 tent.
Loving the smell its almost pure sweet grapefruit with loads of resin for only day 17 of flower.
Day 64
Looking and smelling great. She's about two and a half weeks into flower and starting to fill out a bit. I'm hoping for a long flower at this point I'm seeing other diaries with some long flower times on larger, late blooming autos. This thing could really pack on the bud if I get another 6 weeks.
Day 70
End of week 10 about 3.5 weeks into flower. She seems to have stopped putting on any more height and is focusing effort on flowers.
Started off the week noticing a nitrogen excess( clawed leaves). Gonna keep a close eye on it and try and pull the nitrogen back. Trying to decide how many weeks I have left.
Really looking good overall I figuring another 2 to 3 weeks. But it might go longer.
Struggling with nute lock then I over flushed but it seems like it leveled out now.
I'm thinking she might only have 1 more week in her. Let me know what you think.
Looking for some input as this is my first grow. She started to flower around Day 40 these pictures were on Day 84. Just trying to get an idea of how much time she might have left.
hey there, problem is at this magnification all the trichomes look white, but with slightly more magnification you'll have a better idea. to really see the trichomes you want 40x minimum, 60x to be comfortable. She looks absolutely fantastic though, i wish i could taste it ! The good thing about hydro is you get full control for the flush because you dont really need to flush more than a day before the harvest, just switch your water out when it's time and that's about it. If you manage to get a handheld loop and take a look at the trichomes that's great, otherwise i would say you dont have much more than a week to ten days left. Hope this helps ! 🚀
She on close watch for harvest leaves are starting to fade up top and trichomes are coming along at about 40% clear, 60% milky and just a couple of amber here and there.
At the end of week 14 still not quite at the trichome colour I'm looking for down to about 10% clear but still very few amber. Any day now I hope and she smells amazing very dark citrus.
Total weight is in at 60% rh
Dry trimmed bud 264g
Rough trimmed popcorn 118g
Useable trim 99g
Chopped 3/4 of the plant on day 102 gonna give the lower section a few more days.
I hung the upper 3/4 full and the lower branches 1 by 1 as I harvested them wet weight listed is for everything as its hung.
I will update after some drying time.
Roughly 1/3 of the way into dry trimming I'm at 74 grams so far still lots to go.
