Week 8: Day 50 - 56
I really wonder if my buds are growing well enough. They feel dense, but it's mostly pistils and sugar leaves it feels like. The actual buddy balls, the bracts I think they're called are really thin and/or small.
Although from the start to end of this week I can see more bracts really forming. I'm just really dreading the '2 more weeks' meme, because that's what it feels like it's going to be.
With the slow start at germination, with the slow and short growth, together with the stunt I probably caused with the nute tip burn halfway through veg (and probably poor feeding during flowering weeks 5,6,7 as well) I guess it'll be around 10 week when it's finished.
All the trichomes look very translucent still, but at the end of week 7 and this week more and more pistils are turning amber orange.
I think I have to assume the bracts stay small, and it'll be hard to use my microscope to inspect the trichomes on the bracts for coloration, since so much is pistils and sugar leaves.
Just some random notes:
PPM Nutes + water in was averaging from: 480 - 700
Don't worry they will fatten up it looks like they just need another couple weeks. Your feeding schedule is also super light compared to what biobizz recommends. They look good mate!
@indigold,
Thanks!
And yeah, my feeding schedule is super light, 1/2 or less of their recommendation. But then again, I've watered more often though in the first 4 weeks (almost daily) than the Biobizz schedule mentions (2-3x/week).
Can't remember when (somewhere in week 4-5), but the runoff was 1400 PPM, which I guess was almost 2 times higher than it should be.
And my plant is a dwarf - 39 cm / 1'3", doesn't that justify a lighter feeding?
