How close to harvest are they?

[Formernuke]

I know it's still a ways but I'm wondering for nutrient schedule if I need to repeat a week. They are DWC

[Gingerbeard]

They look good. Take a look at adding molasses toward the end of flowering.

Unfortunately for hydro growers, anything organic like molasses is not suitable for a hydroponic reservoir! But molasses works great for soil and coco growers 🙂
For the last 2-3 weeks before harvest, give 1 tsp of Blackstrap Molasses per gallon when watering (for soil or coco coir).... this is from the referenced GWE article...

Not for DWC

[moodfood]

Why add molasses? Is this for nutrient value? or does it alter the taste? I have some sugar cane syrup - that's the same thing, I believe. I may give it a try.

Question for @Gingerbread molasses at the end. What bonus do you get for this and how much per gallon. My plants still have maybe a week. Tricomes are still filling in and our still clear/cloudy on some. Curious on the molasses? I add to my soil in the 4 week but no more after.
Thank you

Bigger, tastier buds come from molasses. Check this out...

About a week.

Maybe 2. Thanks for the link. Gingerbread

You're welcome. Keep posting. Check this link out for a whole big bunch of information on when to trim.

My worry with molasses is how to not clog up my pumps and air stones.

[Gingerbeard]

I'm a soil guy so I can't answer to your DWC except it works. Some good Samaritan will get to clogged systems.

[Formernuke]

Here is an update one week later.

[Gingerbeard]

Thanks, good Samaritan.

[Farmall]

Haha! Samaritan...ok. Good?

I know you and anyone else here would do no differently.... but, woo hoo, I am good !! 😇. I just happened to know that one

Good Sumerian? Good Spartan? Good Cherubim?

In hydro i just do GH Flora Trio and flush the last few days. There are products that will do something similar for hydro, like Bud Candy or Botanicare Sweet line, but i have not tried those yet. Putting molasses in a hydro setup could be problematic but can be done, so ive read, but it seems to be tricky and most comments ive read have not been favorable towards it. So ill try it in my coco plants but not in hydro until i can have enough room to "sacrifice" a plant for science. But as of now all my buds are too precious to gamble with!

About 4 weeks to go. In coco. FF trio. Also have 4 in DWC

[Tersky]

Damn those are going to be some monsters! What light you got?

[smoorman]

Thats a 2x4 tent. There are 2 white 1000w ONEO and 1 1000w blurple LED. I think they draw about 600w total. One of them is the plant I had the spots on. I seem to keep them right on the edge of having light burn. The photo perspective makes it look like the colas are bigger than the water bottle but they're not. But they are pretty big. I'll post some more photos in a bit.

[Tersky]

Still looks great man! Mine are nowhere near as big and about as old but they are under a 250w so i wasnt expecting them to be huge. I also have a 2x4x5 tent for my 250w and have been thinking of changing out the light in it but havent decided what kind of light i want or whether to turn that tent into a veg/clone tent and use my 3x3x6 as a late veg and flowering tent...decisions decisions....

[smoorman]

I put the bottle right in with the plants for scale. They are getting big. Every time I sit and look at them it just amazes me. I'll post pics of the others in a bit. A month to go.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Man, those are nice, i bet they smell good.

[smoorman]

That's what my neighbors are telling me. Lol
