Tangerine Dream

It’s been staying around 7 my entire grow. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to get ph down lower it a bit. I just checked her this morning and she didn’t look too bad. One leaf at a time is going yellow and falling off. She’s either locked out or sucking all the nutrients from the leaves. Getting really sticky. Can’t even touch her without having to scrub my hands after.

Good luck with the grow. Looking good, don't stress them auto's too much

Buds are looking good! When the Trichomes are milky, the THC concentration is at its peak. As soon as they turn amber/brown the THC will be broken down and the Product will have more of a sedative (couchlock/sleepy) effect. So the right time to harvest depends on the effect you desire.-Frankovitsch

I have pistils on even less developed bud sites than yours and they're browning as well... not sure if good or bad but if it's any consolation, I'm in the same boat!

I conducted a test run with Kale. I was using a 75watt LED lamp. My plant looked squashed until I lifted the light further away to force the plant to reach up for the light. I think it's too early to tell with your plant, but if the leaves continue to grow on top of each other and looking flat, pull the lamp further up. You will notice a difference in a day or so.

Are you using LED lighting? If so, 3 inches is way too close and would explain the lack of height. LEDS need to be much farther away from the plant.

I'm just at 49 days and love the look of your plants! I'm keeping track as I hope to have lush buds like you have. I'm wondering about the harvest too.

Did you harvest?

That's great information. Thanks for knowledge sharing!

Will you be back in time to put them in jars for curing? Don’t want to dry them out to much from what I hear.

@Coopman, have you checked the PH? Has it gone over 7 or below 6? Since mine has started flowering, I've had to raise the PH each day as the nutes go acidic to almost 5 daily.

@Coopman, I'm growing the same strain and brand. Early on, my leaves would droop a bit in a similar manner. The room I was growinng in seemed a it warm. I added a fan which seemed to lower the temps around the plant and circulate the air and the leaves seemed happier. Also, she seems happier in the mornings after a being in the dark. She also seems to have most of her growth at night because she always seems to have grown substiantially by morning. I let my plant have more darkness and she seems happier and taller. You might want to try adding a few hours of darkness at a minimum. I would start with an hour for a night or 2 and then add another hour later. I'm using 4 hours of darkness. Moving from just 3 to 4 seemed to make a noticable diffference. When you consider non-autoflowers need 12 hours of darkness and grow substiantially, 4 for an autoflower might not even be enough to rest and recover from a full day in the light.

Glad to see she is recovering nicely. She looks great!

Yes I believe i would. 6 days I would be gone.
