I checked the tricomes this past weekend, they are still clear but I am thinking based on pistils and time from seed these will be ready for harvest in a week or two. I am thinking I will give one more feed and then water to the end. That seems to be the majority of the wisdom I have found on the net when using chemical fertilizers.
Tue - Watered with 6.4PH adjusted plain water.
Fri - Watered with 6.4PH adjusted plain water.
Sun - Fed the two tall ones with a light feed, they had lost most of their fan leaves when I trimmed them due to damage from PH fluctuations. I was not sure if they would make it to harvest without something. 5ml/gal of Terra Flores PH'd to 6.3. Plain water for the other two PH'd to 6.4
I have been checking the Tric's, some are cloudy lots of clear still (some plants are more clear than the others), no sign of any amber yet, except on damaged tric's. I plan to harvest when vast majority are cloudy, I don't want to wait for Amber since I am not sure how potent these plants will be do to the rough life they have had.
When limiting my primary nutrients, (Canna Terra Flora) to prevent overfeeding, should I also limit the secondary nutrients (Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Boost) or feed those per the Canna schedule each time I water? I currently only use them when I feed on every 2nd or 3rd water
I think its safe to remove the rhizo. Definitwlt continue the Flores because it also contained the trace elements needed. Keep the zyme and boost are entirely up to you, perhaps only using them once per weeks would be good. But I think it'll be alright to remove them soon, unless you choose otherwise. Did I see a small amount of yellowed leaves on the back left plant on the very bottom? If so you may want some cal mag in there or it may be that one received a slightly higher dose than the others did, or needs a good flush.
Best of luck the plants look pretty dang good thus far. Congrats on making it into flowering.
This one was a bit rough. I thought the purpling was a bad thing, a symptom of phosphorous deficiency. I count this as a success, I got a big enough yield to make through the next grow. :)
Thanks for the info, I knew about the trichomes but I had no idea the buds fatten up that much at the end. I harvested when they are about 80% cloudy, I wanted the strains to lean a bit to heady side. Maybe another week would have given me more yield with no major change in the trics.
Thanks for the advice, I am battling the rise in temps during the day now that summer is coming. I have been dreading putting an AC in that room, but I might have to.
next time flower at least 9 weeks for most strains, theres a handfull that are 60 days which is still 8 and a half weeks, buds fill out the most the last 2 weeks, up to 33%, and I veg for 5 weeks, but thats up to the grower, just make sure you flower as long as the strain says and.. youll get the full buds remember AMBER trichomes for stones cloudy trichomes for psychedelic.. but at least let them get cloudy.. but a good general rule is go the flowering time the seed bank suggests.. if you dont know the seed bank, do research on the strain and use the average flowering time.. hope you get some Chronic next time,, good luck
Looking good! They'd probably appreciate a few C drop in peak temperatures, especially as the grow goes on. They get all sensitive.
They're really healthy and I think you're going to be quite happy =)
