demoralized here.....

[Weedfreak]

Update:
So I harvested, trimmed four of my girls and they are in jars. I bought some Boveda packets. My question now is: are they reliable? I ask this because I put one in a jar along with my hygrometer, which reads out 59%. To get the humidity level up, I exhale directly into the jar. This raises the humidity level a few percentage points above 62%, but then the level goes back down. What's going on here?

Good work on the harvest. The dry and cure is most important. There's a debate about the humidity packs. Some swear by 'em, and some swear about them. I don't use them anymore as I fall into the crowd that questions whether or not the packs affect the taste of the weed. To raise the moisture level in your jars, spritz water lightly on the underneath side of the jar lid and reseal tightly.

No, water won't drip into the jar or onto the weed.

That will easily raise the RH in the jar. I do that to maintain 62 in my jars. Your jar should hold that for a good while as well.

You do not need the Boveda packs. Dry slow and jar. Bring them down a bit in the cure if needed. Once you've done it a few times with your dry room setup you should be able to get it within +/- 2% without too much trouble. They will hold their moisture content in sealed jars for years.

[Rootsruler]

I agree. Using Boveda packs is a crutch for not drying and curing properly. I've tried to use them before having overdried and I found spritzing the jar top more effective.

I haven't posted in a while and could use some advice. I have a clone that is in it's last 10 days of flower and it's showing signs of nute burn. I've already flushed it once. My question is how often should I flush before harvest. I've attache dsome pictures

[Bluey]

What are you feeding it and how much in EC if you know it?

A close up pic of the bud tops and maybe one or two of the leaves might help too.

[Gingerbeard]

Waaaaiiiittt... you did that without us? Well, you started with us. That's the important thing.
What you have there is some fine-looking dope in late-stage flowering. It is not uncommon for plants to look beat up and deficient/burned when they are about to get harvested. The plant is putting its energy into making the flowers, not the leaves. Those leaves are probably brittle and easy to break? Maybe dry? Point is, don't worry about it. Even if previous grows looked 'better.'
No idea about flushing. I don't.

WHat is EC? I've been giving it the recomended 4mL/L of water of Advanced Nutrients plus other supplements.

[Bluey]

EC is a measure of nute strength, specifically the electrical conductivity of a solution which is pretty much a measure of the salts in the water.....its a great way to measure it.

4ml/ltr means nothing to me because I don't know what the 4ml is made of. Others here with experience of using those specific nutes can probably help there.

The reason I wanted to know exactly what you are using and how much is from there I can come up with a workable solution...."other suppliments" doesn't help either.

So at a guess you have too much N but I am not sure cause you won't tell me what you're using.

The leaf damage on the buds is also consistent with light issues, not enough relative to EC causing that die back which is also a nute burn.

I wouldnt flush unless I was sure I had nute toxicity going on.

THanks, Gingerbeard. I started her in October and she took. Didn't feel the need for advice since she was doing well.

It's the last ten days, so I flushed it.

[Bluey]

I wouldnt but your call.

I think you have too much N. I'd cut everything you can with N and go PK heavy, around half strength according to the manufacturers instructions and keep them going.

Guessing when harvest will be ready a week or two out is not easy.

[Gingerbeard]

Weedfreak I'm curious why you are set on ten days to harvest.

[Weedfreak]

Weedfreak I'm curious why you are set on ten days to harvest.

Because the seed description on the website says it flowering time is 55-65 days. Sunday was day 55. Ten days from that will be 65 days.

[Gingerbeard]

Danger Will Robinson! Those timelines are guidelines with much room for give-and-take. Judge harvest time by the trichomes, not what the breeders say. That information is all best-case-scenario.
Figure a bunch of us are growing seeds from the same plant. Some harvest a week before or a week after others. Harvest time is all about trichome color and what the grower wants from his dope. Say, uplifting vs. couch locking.

[Rwise]

65 days is often 79+ days, it all depends on what you want. As already said read the trics

[Bluey]

You can pretty much ignore what the breeder says. Keep em going.

[Ckbrew]

You need to talk to your plants and listen for them to tell you they are ready. If they aren't ready, then they aren't ready. The breeder schedules are bs.

[Weedfreak]

duly noted thank you for all your input. so should i pull back 50% or 75%? should I trim back all that burnt leaf tips?

[Rootsruler]

Nope. All part of the end of life process. Just let them naturally fall off.

As has been mentioined, use the trichome coloring to determine your harvest time. Any chance we can get a super close up of the some of the areas of trichomes to see how close you are?

[Weedfreak]

oops...too late. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

[Weedfreak]

Tomorrow is today. Here she is. also attached is burnt bud pre-trimmed back.
