Ok, so it's slowly getting thicker and frostier. At week seven my girl could be ready in anywhere from two weeks to four weeks more. The light was dropped closer to the top of the canopy. I decided to try 15 cm of distance, as well four 50W LEDs are not as powerful as the 600W HID or LED panels that are usually used in grow tents. I will of course keep an eye for signs of light and heat stress, but I suspect that won't be a problem. Update Day 89. Today I decided to turn the plant around to see the back colas and their growth. Then I found some mites under the leaves after examining weird spots in a couple of leaves. It seems to me that there was not enough airflow to deter the mites from making home in the back leaves, when compared to the front leaves of my plant. Lesson learnt, rotate plant often, ensure good and even airflow. I didn't find any webs beside a really small one seen on the video (most affected leaf). So, I think I found them mites early. I only found this kind of damage on very few leaves, and each leave contained less than 8 mites (at least that I could see) and a couple of eggs. So it seems that paying close attention to my leaves saved me from an out of control infestation. Anyhow... I removed all of the leaves that had even a single mite, or a single mark of discoloration. Also, I disinfected the grow tent, top of soil and lower part of the branches by spraying them with a 1/4 tbsp of bleach per liter of water. After that was completely dry, I mixed one part rubbing alcohol with 9 parts water and misted both sides of the leaves and even the buds directly (ethanol evaporates easily, so there shouldn't be residues left after it dries completely). I got these remedies from https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/how-to-get-rid-of-spider-mites I will apply them every 3-4 days and keep a good eye on the leaves. Prevention is key, and some aspects I could've considered before are: 1. not grow any other plant next to my cannabis 2. Don't come into my indoor growtent after tending my outdoor plants. 3. Ensure even and plenty airflow. So, I attacked back strongly. I cut more leaves than those that showed damage, to increase airflow. I will be on the watch for pests and will rotate my plant often, as well as spraying a few times every week, just to make sure they don't come back. I also am going to build a kind of metal wire cage to separate the colas further and make it harder for any pest to spread. Its only my second grow, but from what I've read online about mites, it's way more costly (time and money) to deal with an infestation than to strike them hard early. I guess that specially now that I noticed them before they even made webs. Look closely at your girls growbros ! Update day 90. So this morning I. Becker the trichomes and they seem to have gotten more cloudy. I am not an expert at that, but they are starting to be fewer clear and more milky. I will keep an eye on them, but it think harvest might be here very soon, probably closer to the 9 week mark than to the 12 week one (I'm about to finish the 7th week)...

I've been giving 6.5 pH water once and the next time I add nutrients until I get an EC of 1mS/cm. This was ok before (runoff didn't show many nutrients on soil). Now I water 2.5L/day but the plant leaves nutrients in soil (runoff EC increases rapidly!) It's in week 4 of flower.

keep in mind that PPM/EC meter can lose their calibration, I run promix and monitor my PPM/EC and if its much higher than I put in I lessen the amount in the feed, but this is my first time so take it for what it is. I just wanted to mention the calibration thing, because i have 3 meters, only one is correct you can get calibration fluid online, fairly cheap i paid $10 for a small bottle of 1000PPM, my one meter tested within 1 pt, so i know its good, the other read 600 and the other read 1500. Also the error doesn't seem linear and the gap widens significantly the higher the PPM, for example the Good meter that reads 1000 the other read 1500 if the good one read 1400, the bad one could be as high as 4000ppm I couldn't make sense of it. From the thumbnail above this text box, it looks like u might have one of the cheap meters i have i'd buy some calibration fluid just to have some peace of mind gl. Barring that you can strictly follow the guidelines for your feed, and adjust based on need and symptoms or you can use your meter as a rough estimate, and learn "the new scale its given you" GL you'll get through this

Hello fellow growers, I am a noob and I feel I am close to my harvest week, could you have a look at the trichomes in the pic and there is a video in my diary week 7. It's an Amnesia Haze, vegged for 6 weeks and it's on 8th week of flowering. What do you think? close to harvest?

Here I'll just assume that you've smoked weed before, or you probably wouldn't have started growing yourself. Well, it's entirely up to you when to harvest, depending on what kind of high your prefer. For instance, You'll get an energetic high with more "milky" trichomes, while you'll get a stoned high with more amber. Tho, it's also a little depending on the plant how much amber is needed for the stoned high. - Harvesting with a lot of clear trichomes, should be avoided tho, since they don't really contain any THC. so you'll just have wasted your time caring for the plant, if your intent is getting high off of it.. Personally, I prefer a stoned high, so I wait longer than most people before harvest.

@Ferenc, Thanks man, its been a bit of challenge to keep her alive for about 4 months already... partly because I am still learning, and partly because since the day I planted it I already wanted to smoke it xD

Nice training my friend will surly be ready for the flip soon :) Good cloning too is that a dwc bucket or just water ?

Symbiosis_420commented4 years ago
@TheUk420Show, Thanks bro, I had to develop this very special way of cloning because of the first pheno I got, it was a blueberry cannabis which was very very hard to clone. I tried rockwool, dwc, cup of water, aloe Vera, honey, rooting hormone. So in the end only this combination of techniques was able to reliably clone every cutting. So I think that having such a picky plant allowed me to learn a lot, I wouldn't had tried any other method of the cup of water worked. So, if you have the time/money to do it, just try it, you might learn many useful and fun things on the road, and at worst you gained experience and know why it doesn't work for you. When it comes to the clones, I agree with you, they take more time to grow big and thick compared to a seed (in my limited experience). But they are a guaranteed exact copy of the mother. Let's say you make medicine with your cannabis, you would want every single pill from every single harvest to have the same effect on you.

@Symbiosis_420, That sounds like a very fool proof system for cloning :) I've only ever my current run with clones and well I'm not sure I'll run them again. Yes its cheaper but they dont grow like plants from seed they don't stretch much and the branches end up quite skinny in my experience they cannot support the weight of the buds maybe I'm missing a trick when it comes to vegging but my feed solution does contain silicon so they should not be like that take a look at mine and see what you think :) Maybe I didnt veg them long enough ? My routine for taking cuttings can see them root in around 4-5 days. though I do not use the dwc buckets to clone I just use rock wool i simply cut the stem and dip it in some hormone and wack it iin the rock wool use a humidifier to push the humidity up to 90 or so percent for two days and that usually does the trick I've taken cuttings from a cutting before and still worked out fine as it was getting too large lol. Recently took cuttings for a friend who was struggling done 8 for him and all 8 have rooted so happy days :) I have thought about getting an eextra bucket for clones but If its not broke dont fix it lol. defo upload some piics we all love to see diy projects and get ideas from other peoples styles of growing its what this site is all about ::) stay safe man and good luck for the rest of the grow the best part is yet to come :)

@TheUk420Show, Thanks a lot! It's a DIY dwc bucket I use for clonning. Basically a 2lt plastic ice-cream bucket (painted black to avoid algae growth) filled with water. I also cut some holes in the lid for the cuttings and added a 3 liter/min aquarium airpump). I also have a clonning ritual that works for me. First I place my cuttings in rooting hormone and leave them in small shot glasses in lowlight. It's only after I would see roots start to pop out, that get them into the dwc ice-cream bucket. It works everyrime! I've run some experiments (although, only with two strains) and it seems to me that the higher concentration of IBA makes them start to root faster in the cup than in the dwc (where the rooting hormone gets diluted in the solution); but once the roots are out, they grow like crazy in the oxigen rich water of the dwc. That's why I do this combination. I might add some pics about it later.

Runoff in soil is kind of misleading. It does not make much sense to meassure it. Actually I don't water to runoff with soil. During flowering stage I feed every time I water with an EC range of 1.6 to 1.9; new fresh all-mix kind of soil can have a runoff over 10.000 PPM (20 EC), after weeks of pure watering, when the runoff reaches 2500 PPM (5 EC), I start getting deficiencies.

Symbiosis_420commented4 years ago
@@Athos, thanks for your answer. I didn't know that about the soil ppm. I guess I won't worry too much about it if I have no signs of nute burn and I ma not feeding too high of an EC. This is only my second grow, and on the first one I almost killed a blueberry cannabis by feeding it too many nutrients causing lockouts, so I guess I was too afraid something like that would happen, specially on this long flowering strain.
