Beginning of FINAL week...
Foxtailing like a mf'r lol.. Nice colors on the calyxes tho.. Even some of the foxtails.. Not going to use the Flora Nectar this week.. Just water.. Almost there!!!... Trichomes are lookin pretty ready.. Even seeing some amber and alot of cloudy trichomes on the foxtails! So hoping the foxtailing shouldn't be too much of a hassle.. The foxtail calyxes are even turning red/purple!... Such a gorgeous plant (besides the damn foxtailing)!!!
Next day...
I got a new USB macro camera or whatever.. Kinda sucks to be honest lol.. But seeing amber trichomes all over the tops of the colas.. Seeing mostly cloudy but also clear trichomes at the bottom of the colas.. Almost there!... After seeing the pics it uploads.. Im returning this POS USB camera.. Worthless
Middle of FINAOL week..
I returned that piece of shit USB Microscope.. Fucking worthless.. It looks great ass youre looking at trichomes.. But the pics suck (as you can see from the beginning of this week)... As for the lovely lady.. I went ahead and trimmed of alot of leaves.. All fan leaves that I could reach the stems on.. With all this foxtailing its gonna be kinda difficult to trim.. Not impossible.. But gonna have to take my time.. The foxtails are even showing some amber and cloudy trichomes at this point.. She smell EXACTLY as she did the last time ai grew this strain.. I can't wait to try out some more ILGM strains.. I also would like to see the differences from the autoflower and photoperiods.. I got some White Widow photoperiod from ILGM too.. And many others lol.. Zkittlez autoflower and photoperiod.. Girl Scout Cookies Extreme (supposed to be autoflower but I'm pretty sure they sent me the photoperiods, accprding to what the baggie says that they came it.. But II'm not mad lol.. I hear that they do that stuff alot.. Just gotta pay attention to their labeling.. GSC - F5P means photoperiod (non auto) and GSC - FA5P means autoflower.. That's not exactly what they say, but its pretty close... Anyways.. Will be chopping down after 1 more GD update!! Cant wait to taste this girl again! WW autos taste nice and danky lol if thats a taste.. It is to me.. Anyways......
2 days before expected harvest...
Whoops.. I was just seeing how strong she was.. When *CrAcK!*... Oh well.. It's just 2 days early.. Trimmed off all the leaves that I can reach the stems on and hanging her up in a small box.. Inside of another.. Box type thing that can fit the small box and a humidifier.. The humidifier is moving plenty of air.. If I dont use the humidifier, it will be dried in 2 or 3 days.. like 55% RH in the jars dry.. This helps give me atleast 5 days drying time.. And when they go into jars im hoping to get about 70% RH.. Burp for a week or so, till they read about 65% RH then no more daily burping.. Maybe once a week for a few weeks.. Once at 62% RH I stop burping and let her chill till its time to smoke!!!.. Damnit I feel like an idiot.. Lol
Aye, growmies... Got some springtails.. Medium is coco/perlite using General Hydroponics Flora Series including a couple supplements.. Has anyone else had to rid springtails? Using Dia××××××ous Earth or Neem Oil preferably? And how to use... Thanks growmies!
Try to clean if there is some colonies in the grow area, if they are in the soil u have to use some product like azadirachtin if u cant beat them with a dry/wet cycle to force them to exit and maybe go on some sticky trap over the soil.
@coyote2thick,
Its usually about another 2 weeks for me.. Then once the flowers are being more focused on, I cut out the grow all together.. In veg I dont use any bloom yet.. 100% gro.. Then, in transition phase, I use 50/50 with the grow and bloom.. Then after those 2 weeks, I just use 100% bloom.. The actual dose is different for each plant tho... But that's how I do the ratios for the weeks
@coyote2thick,
I usually give the gro even for transition phase.. While she's still stretching and making more leaves.. Once the buds are being more focused on, i cut out the grow completely and replace it with a bloom booster.. Thats just what works great for me so far
@ThatSweetSmoke,
Mine started showing pistils pretty early on like yours.. But I think it's still just preflower phase.. I think mine has still been vegging like normal.. But you should still be able to notice the flower stretch when it does start to flower.. That's what I have expericed with this, at least.
@Ferenc,
Thanks! They are nice and colorful.. But these damn foxtails.. They are annoying. Its hard to keep the temps below 85F right now.. Sometimes it reaches 90F-91F.. Once its colder outside I can usually keep it at 80F easily.. I can't wait till winter!
@Donjuanweedo,
I did poke holes in the red cup.. 3 on the outsides.. So it could even drain from the sides a bit.. And 1 in the very middle... The clear cup is meant to catch the runoff.. So the clear cup has no holes..
@Ferenc,
Thanks growmie! She is fun to work with.. Besides the yellowing (which I know is normal at the end of flower.. But Im usually able to avoid it till flushing) .. Other than that she is doing awesome! Oh.. And now some springtails.. Fuck..
@Hempy_the_kid,
Shit was trippin me out.. Guess Im not gonna be using my humidifier anymore.. Was growing for a year and a half without one with no issues.. Damn.. More wasted money.. Lol. Thanks for the input.. I was beginning to think baby powder was somehow being shot into the intake or something.. But glad to know this issue is just the humidifier. Thanks again growmie!
