April 42 day 63F - still no amber really forming and shes going on too long. 23 weeks/63F, she's starting to look old although trics looking good. I'll give her another couple days but that's it i think.
possible flower mistakes:
-should have removed more lower sites. I was scared of stress but I think she could have handled it (but that's hindsight)
-turned up led too high, 90/95%
-adding worm castings a week before flip. I think it led to N toxicity into flower
-over nutrient, although I only fed 2ml - 4ml/3 litres I think I could have cut back feedings. I fed 2 twice and skipped one. maybe better to feed once and skip next 2.
-i might have fed molasses too early, maybe leave until last few weeks?
-fans too direct causing minor wind burn even tho flow was weak
-final flush was too much water and caused wet dog smell possibly from the wet air pot overnight. concerning for mould especially at the end of flowering into harvest
I might be overthinking all of it, afterall she never herm'd on me and I really thought she would after all the poking, cutting and bending. what a champ!
also I've seen other photos where the leaves are very similar dark Olive Green like mine. so maybe that's her color into flower and not any N toxicity (although those other plants could have similar issues, so idk).
couple more days, getting the scissors ready...
Apr 26 - I'm too indecisive. was going to harvest but I still don't see many if any amber. I'll give her 2 more days and cut Thurs. Removed strings off scrog, she measures 20", I see no mould or anything concerning now that I can rotate the pot and see her backside.
Whatโs the rationale for putting it dark for 24 hours before flipping?
About scrog, the point of scrogging is so you can flatten out the top layer so the top gets even light all over. If you bring your scrog net up and allow stretching vertically, you defeated the purpose of scrogging. You need that on the top layer that way they get used to it and when they start stretching, you tuck them under the net so itโs even and spread them horizontally.
Other than that sheโs a healthy girl.
@MaryJaneUSA yes that's a good idea for the new nodes/lst. already she's way busier and I know those nodes underneath aren't getting much light already. I'll check tomorrow and see what's up for my game plan.
thanks again!
@forcode1123, i see, i was curious of the 24 hours because i dont think ive seen that technique before.
if that's the case with your scrog net, bring it down and tuck the leaves under the net and stretch it out a little bit horizontally until the middle part of the "new" nodes pop out a little bit and then raise the scrog net that way you can accommodate for the overgrowing as well as being able to LST at the same time. the last week of stretch, i'd leave the scrog net where it is.
hello my fellow gardener I think you are over looking the humidity . that low is going to hurt your plant when a young sprout it wants 80 % toss a dome on it :) in veg around 70 but will be happy even at 60 % you need a humidifier , dome is no good at this point as it will need to breath . try and mist your plant if cant reach this higher humidity for temp reasons ( google preferred times ) , hemis will look like little bananas and are easy to spot have no fear pay attention and give her love don't stress her to much in flower you will not get any you humidity is good for budding but could be a bit higher to start . I really think this will help your veg cycle and the speed of your plants growth happy gardening love the diary
@Mongler1187 thanks for the advice. even with a humidifier I still can't get it above 50. she's doing well in low humidity 19 weeks in. my biggest fear after harvest it's going to dry way too fast at 40-50% humidity.
