    Update: She finished the PK load. And has continued to lose leaves. She went back on base nutrients 23ml/L along with the Bloom Enhancer and Head Masta. EC is 1.9. PH in the tray is 5.9. Phin the rez is 5.6. Temps 80F lights on 70F lights off. RH 45% lights on and 45% down to about 40% lights off.

    She's not as sparkly as I'd like to see at this point. I'm wondering if the apparent lack of nutrients contributed toward that. I'm hoping the flowers continue to fatten up, they usually bulk up after the bloom load, so fingers crossed.

      Update: She's about halfway through 8 weeks of flower. She's taken every fan leaf and then some. I wonder if I should have left more on. The harvest window is opening. The trichomes are mostly cloudy with some clear and no amber.

        Nice finish coming there. At this point fan leaves are not required. I would clean off anything dead or about to be. Less work when you trim them up. Well done.

      Update: Today was harvest day. Wet trim. She wasn't as sparkly as I had hoped but the buds are dense and resiny and not larfy, even the small ones. I really liked this method of growing and am surprised at how uncomplicated it is. I chopped the smallest buds first. I made the cut right below where the lowest flower would be on that particular stem. I know I left some stems on that could have come off during a defoliation. I took pics to give me a guide for the next grow. Included is a pic with those stems still attached and another with them removed. The dry tent is set at 70 F and 45-50% RH.

          Thx. I hope she's as enjoyable as the last time I grew the A5 Haze.

        Harvest time happy time, nothin left to do but smile, smile, smile. That was the difficult one, they get easier once you know what you are doing.
        Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

          Thank you. I was referring to the manifold method. It looked and sounded complicated when I first read about it a few years ago. I was too intimidated to try it. I used Nebula's method after seeing a recent post on the forum.

        #38
        I’ve been reading up on that technique here and I’m definitely intimidated. I think i need to find some vids of it being done, the cutting etc, i learn better with visuals. I also want to try scrog but equally intimidated with the whole process

          I also like the ones they train into a spiral staircase, the skeleton looks trippy.

          @riverman - You don't manifold autos, for the reason you said. Someone on here tops his autos without issue.

          Drphil69, that someone is me. i transplanted and topped 8 auto's with no prob. and no noticable shock or growth slow down. i even dropped one spilling it out of the solo cup and accidently fimmed the hell out of. i think the new breed of autos are a lot hardier.

        I found this site too late -
        Did not manifold AND had nutrient lockout (PH issues).
        This winter I will do all this for my first hydro grow (with fast autoflower 55-60 day seeds).

        Plants look great !!!

          Drphil69 is right, it’s not recommended to manifold autos based on the time they have to recover. riverman64pete you are right about the fact that I probably wont kill it , i should just go for it. I’m going to grow some Fem Gushers next, heard great things about this strain and i luckily bought the seeds months ago without knowing , just liked the data sheet. Wayzee spiral staircase.. skeleton? I’m going to have to find pics, what fun!!!

            I want to be free of the seed expense. Time to breed ! I have my male AND female afghani clones , might do that beyond my winter auto's.

              Final update: I dried my girl for 5 days @ 69-72 F and 50-55% RH. Today was jar day. I tried a little different approach to determine when she was finished drying. Instead of snapping small stems, I dried 1 day for each 10% of RH. RH was about 50% so 5 days of drying. This girl produced 12.4 oz of flower. That's the most for me indoors and one plant. Now for the cure.

                Yes, I think so, even though I left too many flowers down low.

                Thx. Yes...that will be in about a month or so...maybe sooner. LOL.

              You've been around for a bit golfnrl so it makes me curious that you dry for jarring in only 5 days. Seems double that is pretty common around here.
              You wet trim, yes? Is that why the short dry?

                Hey dawg...yes wet trim. This is a new process for me. Still kicking the tires. I have not been comfortable with the generally accepted guidelines that help determine when a bud is dry and ready to cure. I'm referring to the 'when a small stem snaps' method. That's too subjective for me. What does snap mean? Small relative to what? Which 'small' stem, one of the few on a branch, or the stem that attaches a single bud to the branch? I'm searching for a better way, for me. I stumbled upon a method whereby the given RH is the guide for length of drying time. I actually shorted myself a day, should have dried for six this time. 50% avg RH, 10% RH per day plus one day, so 6 days. My goal is to get the cure RH around low 60's, consistently. If I have to burp the jars for a longer period of time that's OK. If I didn't have to burp the jars at all that would be great, but that solution is on another thread.

                I may be a little paranoid because I overdried a harvest and found out the hard way that its easier to take moisture out than it is to put it back.
