What a week! One day I woke up to my fan laying on the plant and the next day woke up to all 5 of my CFLs laying on her. Got all burnt up. Still growing bush but very slow growth. Still hasn’t come close to filling my 3 gallon bucket. Does this look below where she should be starting week 5, now beginning to flower? Sorry I havnt been commenting back. I believe I messed up my email making the account and I can’t confirm email.
Stretch is on and now waiting for the buds to grow. Let’s hope for a good week.
Pistoles turning brown already. Is this normal? I’m worried something may be wrong.
All is going well except my upper sugar leaves are drooping. Not sure what the problem is. I don’t believe water is the issue.
I’m. It seeing a whole lot of bud growth yet. Plant seems to be slowing down. Hope she picks up soon.
Starting to get frosty. Still not packing on weight yet but you can tell she’s putting in work.
Bottom of the plant is starting to yellow quickly. Is this normal te last few weeks of life?
HELP!!!
The past two weeks my leaves are yellowing.
Mostly my fans leaves and it’s working its way up the plant, FAST!
I thought it may low nitrogen so I gave it a good dose. All that did was give her burnt tips and even harder yellowing. Could my bloom nutes be doing this? Some people tell me this is normal in her stage as she only has 2-3 weeks left and some people tell me it’s not right.
Growth is slowed tremendously. The only difference I have noticed in the past week is the pistils starting to brown and all calyxes swelling up. Everyday I look forward to harvest.
This is where I could use your support... based off the pictures how long do you guys think? I under magnification I can see half milky half clear trichs. There is so much crazy info out on the right time to harvest. Some say when half Amber, some say when you see your first amber trichs and some say when all pistils are brown.
I was shooting for a harvest date of the 18th (little less than 2 weeks) because I am leaving for vacation on the 19th. Nobody Tom watch her over a the week. Let me know what you guys think.
Starting day 70. Finding myself in a predicament.
I was hoping for a day 77 harvest because I will be leaving to go out of the country. I started a flush a couple days ago. I still feel there’s more life left in her and I don’t want to pull her too early after a few months of hard work. A few amber trichs spotted on
the leaves however the buds are mostly cloudy with some clear, no amber on buds yet.
I think I found a buddy who can watch her for a week while I’m in Jamaica mon! Should I hit her with one small dose of bloom and some molasses or just continue and let her organically flush? I am worried that if nutrients aren’t provided the leaves won’t make it for another couple weeks.
Wil tgis have any effect on my plant while I’m gone if the leaves are all yellowed?
Day 74: leaves are yellowing fast near the end. I also think I have some sort of deficiency with the rust spots starting into the leaves.
I checked for bud rut today and the buds are perfectly green inside. It’s just the leaves.
I plan on doing light out on SAT and harvest on Monday.
Will be premature a few days because I flushed to early and she is dying quick. Buds super fat though. IM just hoping I can clean up the yellow leaves during trim.
Glad I let her go another week. Still dropping leaves fast but the buds look great. STrong fruity smell. Starting to see amber show up on the buds.
Just watered her for the last time. Cutting on Wednesday.
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.
@BucketBrigade the yellow leaves were because I started flushing to early. I ended up going almost two weeks longer than I though, once I have more nutrients it turned around a bit. Just harvested the plant. I’ll have some more updates when I get a weight.
@dahoola, thanks for the info! I found that out pretty early as I started LST right away and it really slowed growth. The past two weeks I have been able to anything to her and she won’t stop growing. Literally growing like a “weed”
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.
@BucketBrigade, sorry I havnt been commenting back. Just now figured out how to switch email.
Anyways I am using 5 23W (100w) CFLs. Tough week 4.
Crushed by my fan and lights fell in her. She is recovering nicely and is now in flower. 36 total days in from first sprout. Has 11 main colas growing from her. Will be starting week 6 post soon.
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.
@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.
