Tuesday I've cut one of the Grapefruits today , day 58 from seed ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘ She is ready yet but I could have wait longer before harvest , the real reason is that one bud is starting to get moldy inside so before I loose my crop I prefer to harvest. The second will still be growing under the MarsHydro TSL2000 so I'll report the grow until harvest. She is a bit slower to flower and also a bit more sativa looking than her sis . Friday The biggest one is the only one that remains and ... she is pushing a lot of new pistols like if she wanted a second bulking up phase ๐Ÿ˜ that strain is pretty amazing to grow as she have different harvest window and each one could be the good one for you ๐Ÿ‘ I feel like this one will remains another week into the flowering tent before cutting. I want that weed to have a lighter effect that my 1st harvest โœŒ๏ธ Saturday I wanted to talk about the colors of the leaves . Leaves are showing some ph fluctuations signs and also some cal/mag issue. I can't really get why I had these ph fluctuations and why these fluctuations has marked the plant, I feel like my ec range was around 5.7 / 6.2 so that 0.5 difference is my fluctuations range ๐Ÿค” The calcium issue is slight but visible and I also experimenting a potassium deficiency visible by the burning tips + yellowing & rusty edges + the little dots . Except for the ph that I am checking everytime, the others issues are my fault , I did have that plant a kind of N boost by using a 6-5-4 NPK nutrient to counter balance a slight N deficiency 2 weeks ago and unfortunately that nutrient is Cal/Mag free which may have caused my deficiencies but also the PH fluctuation as I noticed that an extra cal/mag was helping the ph not to fluctuate that much , it generally does freeze the ph around a certain value ( that value is 5.9 ph in my case ) Of course it's only a supposition so if you can explain the science behind it please explain it to me in the comments section ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™ Sunday Well after 63 days and with 100% milky trichomes .... the last grapefruit has been harvested ๐ŸŒฑ I had the choice to push an extra week or to cut and I've cut . See you for the harvest/ smoke report Thanks to everyone who has helped me during that journey , I hope that the stuffs that I've shared with you will be helpful or at least will not be useless and I wish you many harvests ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ™Œ

@Spinnnn Hi mate the only time I managed to clone autos it was for sex reversal but from research they yield pretty much nothing because they retain the age at which they were cloned and will go to flower as soon as the mother plant you cloned from does thus resulting in tiny little plants trying to flower.

My trichomes are 100% milky or close to and the flavor is nice but the buds could builk up more during the next 2 weeks . What are you re commending ? Harvest now or later ? Effect over yield or the opposite ? Thank you guys ๐Ÿ™

Personally, I prefer to go a little bit over after previous experiences where I harvested with no Ambers and the buds could hand been thicker and stinkier. So now I don't flush until I see an Amber and give it minimal flushing. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฑ

@Med_in_tropic, Haha great question amigo !! In fact yes autos can be cloned , I โ€˜be seen a topic on a forum about it years ago and gave it a try just for fun. Check the last picture of week 3 to see my 2 grapefruits clones , the mother plant is the one in flowering . They are in 3L pots in recycled soil and they are doing well. I was thinking about using auto clones to makes seeds instead of using a plant that I want to smoke ๐Ÿ’จ so something free from any seeds. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

@OutForReal, ive tried reversing the sex of auto clones with sts but they dont produce a lot of pollen so I still reckon sacrificing a whole plant will produce better results but it's still fun to experiment Mate

Hi @Shagrath, " Ive never heard that the bud is ripe and ready but still growing more. " I am saying that the trichomes are 100% milky which means that the trichomes ratio is ready for an harvest , but the bud structure is showing a second bulking up as this plant shoots more pistols and the calyxes are pretty small , they can easily double in size like the 1st grapefruit I've grown. So you can have a 100% milky but still not have the full size/shape/yield potential. That is why I am talking Bout effect over yield , because with a 30% amber trichs the effect will be more sleepy but still good with bigger buds. Thanks for your answer bro @Nor_Cal_Kannabliss, Thanks , my favourite ratio is around 30% amber because the effect is starting to be more sleepy ( the " go to bed " effect ). When you past that 30% you have a big big sleepy effect ๐Ÿ˜ my favourite effect . Thanks amigo @Fruitgrower, I got you bro ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™Œ thanks for the answer , generally I am doing like you but this time I'm trying an early harvest ๐Ÿ˜

That sucks about the bugs, but shit happens and you grow a lot of ๐Ÿ”ฅ! If its just a few plants it should be manageable, I dealt with spider mites during flower (when I made the mistake of taking in somebody's plant) by spraying down the leaves with water at a decent pressure to blast them off a couple times a week. I also went through the plants leaf by leaf, checking both sides, and squishing any pests I could find and removing leaves showing infestation or heavy damage. I also fogged the with some insecticidal soap (avoiding the buds, just under the canopy) and sealed the plants for 30-60 minutes before turning airflow back on. This kept their population so low it didn't end up messing with yield/quality. Hopefully it's just thrips as they shouldn't be too bad to manage. I also agree with the effectiveness of neem as long as it's really early in flower (it smells and tastes like shit which is a risk). I've never tried them personally, but introducing predator insects can also keep the population down without hurting quality or spraying with chemicals. I am sure you're going to beat the bastards and yield some good bud ๐Ÿ‘

@Cheeba_Inu, Haha my bud rot feels like a deserved punishment ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜โœŒ๏ธ I mean who'd growing indoor without an air extractor ? ...... except me ๐Ÿ˜… Like you said it happens sooner or later during a grower lifetime, sooner is better to learn how to manage the issue ! Just hope that mine will be minor as it's always happening on the biggest buds

@OutForReal, bud rot always feels like a punishment for good growing, which is the most tragic thing. But I think it happens to everyone sooner or later and it's good to be prepared! A vacuum sounds like a really good idea! I've used it for fruit flies/fungus gnats before, and I imagine you could suck thrips up the same way as well. Seems like a fun way to get revenge on them lol ๐Ÿ‘

@Cheeba_Inu, I'll monitor for the bud rot as am pretty familiar with that issue which is happening at least once a year for me but luckily ( if I can call it luck ...) this year it happened to my 2 ultra lemon haze ๐Ÿ˜ญ so it means that these one should be safe ๐Ÿ˜. Did you tried to get rid of them with a vacuum? I am about to try it too , to get rid of the last bugs ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜

Hey bud, sorry to hear about your motor problem. This is a bit out there but try using a vacuum cleaner hose to pull them all off. Shouldnt affect the tricomes at all. I have never tried it but have seen some literature about its soundness. Good luck โœŒ๏ธ

Hey spinna. Nice to see u turning out some nice plants mate. You get em going well in small pots! I have my first auto at the moment and i worried the pot may be too small but noticed yours were going well in smaller pots. I reckon nothing beats neem for certain pests. No home remedies seem as effective. In oz we have a product called eco neem. Works well, does smell a bit but early in flower it is effective here. Cheers mate

@Shooey,Thanks bro ! I recognize that I am always growing in small containers since a while now but now that I am in coco it is changing everything about the way they are growing. I still need to manage the grow space better as I'm used to the outdoor grow so it's cool to be back indoor . BUT YOU ARE 100% RIGHT about the fact that any of my grow would have been better with bigger pots ๐Ÿ˜… I have spread the girls with neem oil and removed the bugs with a wet tissue so now I will monitor and watch how it goes . Bro you've really put the stress on something interesting : the little pot thing ! I feel like I need to adapt the feeding and watering to that parameter because I'm almost always ending up with some deficiencies due to the lack of space or the lack of nutrients . Thanks amigo , sometimes we need someone else to realise things ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘
