I made it to week 12 flower. Visual changes are, trichomes of top colas range from 15-30 amber, there's some purpling of the leaves from the cooler temps. After waiting longer then I wanted this week, I found a day to harvest comfortably(after record breaking heat)...I've harvested both plants already, and they are drying while suspended from hangers. Next week, and after the drying period I will have dry weight and more pics of the harvest. Temperature is 70-65°, and humidity is 45-50 during drying, and I'm going for a 6 day dry.
Looking great! They have shaped up real nice in one week. I would recommend getting your humidity up a little for the vegetative stage. Perhaps you should spray the air in the room with some ph adjusted water and Do Not spray directly on the foliage. It could cause light to prism through the water droplets and burn your leaves. Good luck on your grow!
@Kindbudz,
Week 2, and this coming 3rd week of veg, I kept humidity at 60-80, foliar spray 2-4 times a day, and humidity drops during pictures only....Cal-mag cleared the purple stems, and I've seen some of it retract. I have the light 24'' from the lowest leaf. The difference of height of the highest to lowest leafs is 4 inches. I position the lowest, shortest stems towards the middle. That solves the burnt tip problem. First week I had the light really close, before I moved it to it's current location. And as a precautionary, I draped a bug net over the grow box. That want stop what hitchhikes. Crossing my fingers.
@papi94, A blurple(B01B4GQ6MO) will never be enough, in regards to many factors, but It's my first grow, and I won't splurge until I've gain some skill and understanding and seen everything possible with my own eyes. It's perfect for vegging to a certain size/week. Well anyways, I uploaded a useful ms paint drawing to week 1, which notes my understanding of the relation my led light has to my grow during flowering.
Trichomes are sneaky little things! And where you sample from has an effect.
Take from sugar leaves near the top and she can look done to your 20-30% criteria. But cut from an internal calyx, and they’re all clear!
So how to know?
The science of cannabis growing is mostly a good thing. But sometimes we obsess to our detriment.
The really cool thing about this specie is that it is a ‘conscious’ plant because of its psychoactive properties (controversial)
You can intuit what your plants need and want, much like a pet, who also cannot speak to you, but makes its wishes known via behavior. Harvest her when she tells you she is ready
Best wishes for a great harvest
