Namlah This week I continue my "low effort" first grow. I finally made some improvements by adding a 100W LED grow light and am using that along side a 60W LED bulb. I am still giving 24/7 light as I have no idea how much light I should be giving and whether cutting light duration helps at all. I am using compost and added some bloom pellets a few weeks back. The plant itself looks healthy but I am wondering if the buds are abnormally small and whether I can still salvage enough of a harvest to last my wife and I until our next grow finishes.

Namlahstarted grow question 5y ago
I have been growing my royal dwarf for over 8 weeks now. The trichomes on the top buds all look cloudy (no amber's yet) and I was wondering whether I could cut the top 4-5 buds? A lot of the pistils are still white but none of the trichomes are clear. Is it too early?

You could! But definitely shouldn't! I am not good at being patient. I find it incredibly hard to not cut and sample😆, I get super excited. Remember when you pick up the snips.. "it will be so much more in a few weeks.." Plus If you cut now they will dry to almost nada.. Looking very nice mate 👍

Namlahstarted grow question 5y ago
My plant (mainly top leaves) have been developing weird holes/ends missing over the last week or so. Right now I am thinking it is due to its proximity to light? I'm really unsure. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi there, This appears to be a potassium deficiency. Your plants are demanding more potassium as they flower. Hope this helps,

Namlah I added a teaspoon of molasses to her water early in the week (over 2 watering sessions) to help top potassium up a little. I also added a 100w led grow light which now accompanies the 60w bulb. The buds are definitely getting thicker and my plan is to harvest at least the top cola (maybe it all) in 7 days - after the week 10 update. It's my first grow though so I don't know if I'm just being impatient!

Can’t tell for sure by the pictures but I would give at least another week or 2. Clear trichomes clear headed focused high, milky gives a balanced high, Amber is sedating high. Your preference

Namlah Day 70 since sprouting - things have started to smell a lot stronger over the last week. I have continued to just give water (but not flushing). She still was producing new pistils and buds throughout last week so I haven't chopped her. I was planning on harvesting today but I may give her another week. I defoliated 5 leaves to also help more light get to the lower buds.

Namlah Harvested her on day 71. No amber trichomes but the absolute majority of trichomes are plastic-white. 96 g of wet goodness and 19.2g dry. I was aiming for 15g when I started so I'm happy with the yield. My next grows are both higher yielding plants so I look forward to getting even more. The smoke is smooth, a little bit sour and earthy. The high is very mind and energetic

Almost there ... Good harvest 😁🤟🌲🍀

@Namlah, Personally I would start rinsing (just give water at the correct ph without more fertilizers) until the outer leaves drain well. But you should also listen to the opinion of others :)
Namlah
Namlahcommented5y ago
@DreamIT, this baby is 100% organic! Just compost and molasses :") so no chemicals to rinse out! I will review in a week and see whether I harvest or not :) thanks for your time mate!

Nice result for a first grow! Congratulations on your harvest! 👍
Namlah
Namlahcommented5y ago
@Buddha2, thanks! I made a few errors, namely: overwatering during veg. Stage, too small of a pot, defoliating too late etc. But all of these are learning points. Will update with fry weight on Saturday or Sunday :)
Buddha2
Buddha2commented5y ago
@Namlah, I completely understand. I think that overwatering is responsible for more than 90% of problems. So-called "deficiencies" are usually not a sign of actual lack of nutrients, but the plant's inability to uptake the nutrients. Mostly because the roots get suffocated by too much water.
Namlah
Namlahcommented5y ago
@Buddha2, exactly. It also stunted root growth (along with the pot size) so the plant was showing some N and K deficiencies throughout its life despite it having an abundance of the stuff.

Congrats buddy ! It looks very good It is a pleasure to grow these dwarfs, very easy to maintain and fast growth.. perfect for beginners The yield is decent for what the genetics are promising 👏 Enjoy smoking
Namlah
Namlahcommented5y ago
@@Ciupalac, thanks :) if I used fertilisers, LST and better lighting, I am sure I would have got more. But 19g is enough to last me till my next plant finishes :) the smoke btw is amazing! I haven't even cured yet but it is so smooth and so energising! My friends and I were dancing till 2am on this shit

See your pistols browning early, I wouldnt up their feed like someone suggested earlier.
GMSgrows
GMSgrowscommented5y ago
@Namlah, I have been growing for 45 years. I have found pistols turn brown early into flower when to much nutes provided. My pistols never turn colour until the 5th usually the 6th week into flower. That tells me it's time to lower nutes for late flower. I start low for early flower, vamp up a little for mid flower, then knock them back down to the ec I started them at when they first went into flower. Flower mode is when they actually started to flower. They then need 8 to 10 weeks for maturity. When you get things right you will have buds the size I grow my friend. Cheers
Namlah
Namlahcommented5y ago
@GMSgrows, I was hoping that I could harvest after 6 weeks of flowering because it is an auto strain with a 6-8 week flowering phase (according to their website). It's a little tricky for me as I am doing an organic grow (don't ask me why). So I have been using compost and just yesterday gave some molasses. I will give another (last) set of molasses tomorrow and see if the flowers are ready by week 10. Would love if you could check back in 10 days and give me your opinion on whether she's ready for harvest! Lacking experience my end
