Thank you!

Another fine article by Miss Nebula.

That's been my experience so far. It thinks its Autumn.

[Brwnthmb]

Is this yellowing of leaves normal in the late bloom phase?

[Brwnthmb]

Bluey- I messed up then, but I didn’t know another way to measure ph (other than pouring enough water through the bag to get a sample) but it did require 3 liters.
Do you think the low ph is causing (or helping cause) the yellowing?
I didn’t measure the input water ph, but in times past it has been around 7.

[Bluey]

What pH are your inputs?

Likely that yellowing occurred as a result of transplant shock. Best not to transplant to avoid that.

Your roots need to re-establish themselves so less watering during that period. I don't use fabric pots as I grow in coco so no need.

the bag is too heavy, and leaves are yellowing, as you can see. I watered it last on 11-5, 7 days ago, and added superthrive foliage pro nutrients. This was after repotting the plant (same day, just before watering). So the soil around the root ball is fresh. I also placed the bag on “pot risers” (two pieces of wood) for aeration.
Until I hear back, I’m punching holes in the root ball for aeration. Advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
edit: ph=5.43; 5.38; I measured the ph of the water that poured out of the bottom after 3000ml of tap water was poured through the soil, mostly at the stem.

Thanks

Yes. Under drying & curing

[Brwnthmb]

Yes I’m giving the plants bloom nutrients. Are burp jars covered in the drop down?

[Bluey]

When to harvest is a personal choice.

It also depends on the overall health of the plant, bud health, flower development, trichome maturity, the weather, strain, your schedule to dry and burp jars, on and on.

Your buds are a long way off. Do you have any flower nutes you can give them?

[Brwnthmb]

Bluey I was thinking that the plant is
early, based on pistils and trichomes, but the leaves are losing color (more than the picture shows).
dirtymike that is the bathroom window where I moved the plant to take the picture. The plant lives in a closet with a grow light.
In my (previous) outdoor grows I never detailed the flower’s maturity, so this is all new. I do have various eye loupes for inspecting trichomes, but I’m wondering if just judging the % of pistils browning might be the best way. Thoughts?
Edit: the advice on harvesting is pretty clear, whether pistils or trichomes. I was just wondering if anyone has a preference.

[dirtymike]

How cold does the window pane get??

[Bluey]

Long way to home. Give it some sun and some bloom nutes.

[Brwnthmb]

This plant is not officially part of my grow, but it is maturing under the same lights, and is in the same potting soil; ie same general growing environment. With all that being said, what is your opinion on harvesting?
Going from the advice provided, I’d say it’s too early, that is there are less than 80% of the pistils have turned brown. On the other hand, a lot of the leaves are pale so I am afraid that most photosynthesis is over.
I included the closeup hoping to learn about trichomes (and browning pistils) also.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
