Germinated some seeds from a bag. Not sure if the grower just accidentally pollinated his flower room or if the plants will have hermy genetics /: Either way I've always wanted to grow and currently in a good situation to do so. Once the seeds popped I started doing a ton of research but the plants were moving quicker than I could possibly get up to speed so kinda winging it at this point. I have some good seeds on the way so treating these as "warm-ups" and will be experimenting with different types of training and hopefully just getting the basics under my belt.
The largest plant (Big Mumma) popped her roots out the jiffy bag before the end of wk 1 so I pulled off the netting and transplanted her into a 5L fabric pot with Canna Coco mixed w/ 30% perlite.
At this point I'm watering with rainwater and mixing with the recommended dose of Professors Go Green (guy at the hydro store recommended I use it as cal-mag). I do not have a way to measure the EC or PH as I'm waiting for my meters to arrive.
The tent arrived by the end of the week and I got it setup and transplanted the rest of the girls.
I am in Coco at the end of week 5 flower. I am wondering how to time the flush if I'm planning on flushing for 10-14 days before harvest? I have a USB microscope to check tricomes also.
Hi my friend :-) If your trichome heads are about 80% milky and 20% clear you can flush :-) If they are 70% milky and 40% amber you can harvest ππ It looks great bro ππ
Thoughts on trimming in flower? I trimmed underneath and lightly defoliated the top about 2 weeks in to flower. I'm mid-way through week 5 now, not sure if I should just leave them or trim some lower larf. Not planning on touching fan leaves until final week before harvest.
Thanks for your help on the flush timing question @MadeInGermany and @Fusion - very helpful indeed.
I'll start putting up photos from the USB microscope in the coming weeks so we can nail this harvest time - I'm excited :D
