Locrian99s 2nd grow

[Locrian99]

Busy ass day. Having a sick 16 month old is no fun all day solo, then go to work lol. I checked on them today the few minutes I could. Noticed that one of the GSC is falling even more behind. Gave it a quick look. My lst, apparently was hst. Put a couple splits in the growth tips at the third node, both of them, put a little tape on it, didn’t wrap it just put a piece over the wound like you do with tp when you cut yourself shaving. I’ll keel an eye on her

Thanks daas you haven’t steered me wrong yet, tried a bit of my white widow tonight got stoned off my own grow first time was nice. Still needs more cure, but harsh still, but the job was done. Without you and a few others on here guiding me through the grow not sure I would’ve gotten to harvest

Hey 99, my last plant in supersoil every leaf an even the stalk turned pale yellow, just like my outdoor grows, that's what you want !!!
How does your stalk look ? What color ?
If you want some killer ,sweet mellow smoke let them grow turn yellow, just like eating a green Apple or a good ripe Apple , .
I remember earlier saying to you, if you want a few more trichs, turn your lights out for a day or two, you will notice that all the trichs are standing lots taller an fatter.
All my outdoor grows I let them yellow up, an mellow out just like they do in the wild.
But these are yours, to do any way you like, all i know is if you like to sure enough get high, you will be pissed, if you harvest to early, worst thing I ever did was harvest early one time, I promise I'll never do that again, just telling the truth here, wishing you the best,

[Campesino]

Awesome! You will be happy that you waited for them to be perfect!
I'd go dark 24-48 before harvest. Many do 72. Beyond that you would probably be doing more harm than good. Sounds like you are planning 36-48 ish which should be perfect. Also, there should be no problem with short term incidental light during this "darkness" (you can check on them) especially if it is when the lights would have been on.
Congratulations!

I was shocked they looked like they were still bulking up, haven’t had any nutes in 2 weeks, I started the flush a bit early. Wife and I were actually discussing the effect difference and what we wanted to go for with it tonight. For sure one will go Wednesday there’s 2, I am debating letting the smaller one go longer for a bit more couchlock but the are looking pretty faded there’s barely any green leaves anymore most of the yellow have some browning so I’m not sure if I should let it go much longer, and I couldn’t do the dark period then. Decisions decisions lol

Hey 99, If they are still swelling up, I sure wouldn't harvest them ,unless you don't like Amber buzz. That's what we like is lots of amber, we got plenty of daytime smoke too, but it ain't never as good as the ones with all the amber. Plus you say they are still swelling up, they still growing.

[Locrian99]

Campesino looks like Wednesday is the day, checked em out when I got home last night from work and they looked noticeably frostier and bulkier than Friday night (seems strange one day that big of difference) scoped em tonight and Amber finally showing up. Starting darkness after this light cycle will chop Tuesday Wednesday.

[Locrian99]

And thank you

[Locrian99]

Yea the output from the tds meter shocked me particularly the variance. The plant with the lowest tds reading does imo look the healthiest and is growing the fastest.

[Mr.furley]

Locrian99, I am relatively new to a PPM meter but what I think it's telling you is that your soil is too hot, I would cut down on any extra nutrients that you're giving for a couple waterings the lower total dissolved solvents should allow your build up to lower, you add to an already existing problem it will only increase it, if you're pretty early with your soil and should have all the nutrients you need I would try to get that number down to somewhere around 800 max on your run off. And speaking of runoff in soil I just get a trickle the more you push through your soil to more nutrients you'll be washing out for later there is no need to flush soil.
The dark green leaves look like nitrogen toxicity Imo from the pictures once again like we were discussing in the other thread just be careful of what you're moving to not create a problem that doesn't exist hope this helps happy growing

[Locrian99]

Yes soil. I collected between about 6 and probably 12 oz. I watered just short of 2 quarts a plant in 2 gallon fabric pots.

[Mr.furley]

Locrian99 you are growing in soil? Right. How much runoff do you collect?

[Campesino]

I agree with slight nute burn diagnosis.
Otherwise looking very good!

[Locrian99]

Update on the girls today. Continued with the manifold topped at the third node off the third node both of the aurora indicas, and GSC1, Wonder Woman 1 I probably could have but decided to give her another day or two. There’s a little bit of what might be nutrient burn on one of the AI’s the And I feel the Wonder Woman 1 leaves look a little “crinkly” just going to keep an eye on stuff for now. Still plenty of veg time. They were watered today with 1/3rd strength of the week 2 fox farms nutes. Plus 1/3rd strength of raw silica and I have them 1/3rd strength cal mag. Ph was 6.2 going in (little lower than I meant to go but already had everything mixed and oops. TDS was 550. Ph coming out was between 6.7 and 6.9 depending on the plant. What surprised me though was the variance of the tds coming out anywhere from 1190 to 2885 most were between 1750 and 2300. Here’s some pics oh and some odd markings on the AI that has the possible nute burn.

Spring in the pac nw hmm, could make the humidity harder to manage. Not something I thought about originally.
