Looking good @Newbiegrower420. The way you trained those branches/tops amazes me.
How did you end up solving your high temps due to dehumidifier issue? I am currently experiencing the same issue end of week 3 flower.

UPDATE: Day 1 of week 14- Thursday 19th Nov!!!!
Woop woop! We’re getting close, my magnifying lense arrived and I’ve got my first real good look at the trichomes.. All looking fairly cloudy with about 10-15% ambers coming through.
So as we’re super close now I’ve now started flushing. Not doing a run off as have been using Biobizz soil & Nutes. First flush is done and girls are looking happy. One lady seems to have really heavy colas as she’s struggling to stand up straight. So I’ve staked her to keep her more upright. Think she may bring the best yield of all four girls as it stands so far.
Final couple of weeks now, I can’t believe I’ve made it this far and really can’t wait to try my first home grown bud🍃
UPDATE: Day 2 of week 14 - Friday 20th Nov:
Had to water them early as the girls were very dry after their first flush.. I on average water them every 48 hrs, but they were ready after 36. Already noticing some slight discolouration on the leaves 🍁... Glad I didn’t jump the gun and chop them this week after seeing some amber trichomes..
A bit more LST as they had stretched a little. I’m short on lamp to plant distance but noticed what looked like a little leaf burn on one of the tallest nugs. So did what I could to bring the height of them down just a little 👌
UPDATE: Day 4 of week 14 - Sun 22nd Nov:
As soon as the lights went on today, more water seemed required at around 36hrs since the last flush. The girls seem to be loving it!
Buds do seem to be fattening up a little more each day and I think one girl is slight more ahead than the others as she has mostly orange pistils compared to the other three..
Still need to see more amber trichomes on all four ladies before they’re ready!
UPDATE: Day 5 of week 14 - Monday 23rd Nov:
Small amount of LST to keep the girls as even as poss.. Defo seeing some discolouration in the fan leaves now.. All but one of the four girls have nearly completely orange pistils now which are folding back in to the buds. But Trichomes need to be a little more amber before they’re ready.. The fourth lady however is slightly behind with less orange pistils, some white ones still to turn orange and trichomes are still a mix of milky and clear on the lower buds. When I topped this one it didn’t work as well as the others so she has one really massive cola and all the others are much smaller in comparison to the other three plants..
I think we’ve got a week to 10 days left roughly till harvest.
UPDATE: Day 6 of week 14 - Tuesday 24th Nov:
Another water flush again today.. All seems well, lower small buds still need a few more amber trichomes I think.. But gonna post a question on here to make sure.. Don’t wanna get this wrong.
Sooooooo close now and I’ll be seeing 🤩🤩🤩

Hi! See the first set of true leaves and see the curls in the leaf.. I believe it was due to my humidifier blowing directly on them for a few hours. They seen to have been fine since I adjusted the humidifier.. Will they be ok or am I missing something? Thanks

too much wind can cause leaves to grow in weird shapes, shouldn't really affect the overall health of the plant, but it may cause denser growth than you want! I made this mistake by having a pretty big oscilating fan blowing directly on 2 of my plants. They grew shorter and denser, but with some defoliation and time, they turned out fine.

Hi! Since upgrading my 4 girls into new 3 gallon pots & giving them a good water the humidity levels in the tent have soared to over 70% Will this reduce as they drink all the water in the pots? Shld I invest in a dehumidifier yet? Running out of space 😬

Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

Mr_Motalovahanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hey!
So first things first..
Before switching to flower you need to make sure your plants will fit in your grow space without going into the lights and getting light burn.
Plants normally double or triple in size when they're put into 12/12..
So lets say the tallest they can grow is 1,5 meters tall then I suggest switching them around 50-60cm so they don't get too tall.
Wonder pie is a Indica sativa hybrid so she might not stretch that much but you never know..
Now if you don't have a height limit then whenever you see that she has a nice structure and plenty future bud sites to flower.
So if you’ve got space it’s really but to you when to switch..
They look healthy after the topping and defoliation. Maybe wait a bit more.
Hope this helped, any questions just let me know.
@ me or DM.
Good luck and happy growing!

Hi can anyone tell me what these brown spots are on the leaves? There is also some brown around the edges of some leaves too. I introduced BioBizz Bloom and Top Max at 1ml/l two days ago, is it this? Or do I have a deficiency from filtered water? Time for some CalMag? Or??????

Plz take a look at my 4 short and stocky (known as a low growers) Nirvana Papaya LST’d girls (pics from week 6) and tell me if I should flip to flower now or hang a week? Think I’m running out of height space. I’ve got 20inches spare from the LED plus a little more if needed.

CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hey there Newbie, looks like they are ready to flip, this you can tell by the healthy new growth . Keep up with the LST though, from now until the end of flower stretch and it's possible the plants double or triple in size. That's why you want to keep managing it as long as you can. Hope this helps 🚀

Dahoolaanswered grow question 4 years ago
if the sides of the leaves curl, this often indicates that the plant is evaporating more than it absorbs. A more constant water supply can help. If the tip of the leaf curls downwards, this often indicates overwatering.

Esoteric_growinganswered grow question 4 years ago
You say the were under watered, if so they should bounce back very quickly if that was the cause. When you say they droop more at feed time do you mean before or after. If it’s before you need to increase the intervals between feeding and if it’s after chance are you are feeding too much volume. It says over 2L per pot in your diary which sounds a lot for a 10L pot.
I give my 23L pots about 3L for reference. I would probably stick to top feeding with soil but that’s just my preference as I can see when they get a little run off, although with bio Bizz you don’t really need a 10-20% run off

Hey friend,According to your buds look and size.I would say it’s about 2 or 3 more weeks to go.But you have know when the harvest window opens.Mean the leaves will show deficiencies , yellowing and most of the white pistils become orange.The best method is using 60x microscope and check trichomes colour.If trichomes are mostly milky/cloudy about 80/90 % and fill with some amber colour.That’s the best time for you to harvest.Also Don’t forget to flush your soil, one or two weeks before harvest if you are using inorganic nutrients.Happy Growing... ✌️

Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?

Hi I’m going to be flushing the girls soon as I think I’ve only got a couple of weeks left. I’m using Biobizz soil and Nutes. When flushing should I allow heavy run off with each flush? Should I stop the CalMag too? Biobizz say run off during flushing isn’t necessary, Any advice?

RafaelRapidosanswered grow question 4 years ago
I would say run offs are necessary during flushing. In that way, you will actually flush away all the nutrients from the soil ...and not just into the saucer so it will be sucked back up by the plant. Also, if you water heavily and often with no run offs you might overwater your plant. I would also very strongly recommend using Canna Flush to get rid of all excessive nutrients!

🆘 Plz look at my pics. My microscope arrive today and got a first good look of the trichomes on one of my girls Im saying she’s ready? Amber trichomes appearing, including a few on the lower buds I haven’t flushed or given a period of darkness yet. Biobizz soil & Nutes only..

You've got a couple weeks to go. It's definitely time to flush if you haven't already. If you harvest now you will likely regret it because smoke with be decent but very heady and short acting, and your yield will be reduced. Your plant is going to spend the next two weeks fattening up and ripening. I'd highly recommend waiting until you see 20-25% amber trichomes anywhere you look. The smoke will be much better and your scale will also be happy. Best lesson I ever learned as a grower is: when you think you're ready for harvest, wait another week. Hope this helps!

Please look at my Nirvana Papaya diary. We’re at the end of week 14, week 8 of bloom. One week of flushing. I asked you all last week how long they’ve got left but wanted to see see we’re still on track for around another week left before harvest?

russrahlanswered grow question 4 years ago
From the look of the pics and video of your diary it’s still got at least a week to go, probably 2 if it was me. You still have a lot of new growth with white pistols on your main buds. If you can’t see your tricombs up close and personal then I would wait till almost all your hairs have receded and the bud will fatten up and look plumper. This is when you should harvest in my opinion if you gotta go by just the look. This will ensure you have decent buds. But better to get a cheap handheld microscope for $10-20 to see your tricombs, then you can make a more educated decision on what type of high you prefer. Always wait till at least all tricombs are cloudy, at this point your at max THC and get the cleanest high. If you let it go longer the tricombs will turn amber, when there 20-50% amber is when you get the best of both THC and CBN which reacts with the THC to give you a more sedative “couch lock” type high. The longer you let it go after this point the tricombs will go black and bud quality starts to go down. So if you have even a cheap handheld microscope it can really make a world of difference in your final product. Without it your just kinda guessing as each strain is different and varies widely with how they look at harvest. Some strains will be ready tricombs wise before a hair even turns red, yet others will be completely red haired and still have clear tricombs... so it really is hit and miss without a microscope sometimes.

Newbiegrower420commented4 years ago
@KevinC, ah thanks 😊 🙏🏼. I have really enjoyed the LST part of the grow although it’s much trickier now the stems are much stronger..
With the dehumidifier, whilst it was in the tent it was kicking out some crazy temps like 32 to 35 degrees C during lights on, so there was just not enough space for the plants and the dehumidifier (my tent is only 3 wide x 3 high x 2 deep ft) so it kept just getting hotter and hotter, but now I’ve just got the dry air outlet sealed up with ducting going straight into the tent and rest the dehumidifier is out in the open next to the tent. Ive also got a big fan blowing on the tent and dehumidifier. So although it is still raising temps by a couple of degrees I’m getting a nice 27-28 degrees during lights on and a not too shabby 24-25 degrees C at lights off.. The dehumidifier needs a larger space to work effectively so whether in a cardboard box or inside the tent it’s just working over time and producing too much heat even with the extraction fan at full blast. This way is just working so much better for my set up thankfully. Give it a try if your experiencing the same problem. I’m happy with the result. I’ve got a lil video on week 10 that shows my set up if that helps 😊✌️🏼🌱🍃
Good luck with your grow! It’s looking good!
