What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[Cberdahl]

Okay, personal opinion; would you add more nitrogen and try to get some green back into these older leaves?? Thank you for taking the time to reply. The indica/sativa timeline was new information for me.

[DankwingDuck]

What are you feeding her and how old is she ?

[Cberdahl]

Honestly, I don’t follow any specific feed schedule. I just give her what she needs depending on how she looks. But here’s a photo of what I use and have available currently for nutrients.

Also a photo from last night, I have started putting the plant in the laundry room at night because the humidity is perfect and the small closet I’m using gets too high of a RH at night. I took the dryer sheets out of the laundry room to not mess up the plants smell.

The plant was from seed and she 69 days old today.

Just got this link from a different thread, says flower time is 56-70 days... Makes think I should just flush since I’m at day 42. If no flush yet, think I’ll okay with one more round on nuts? Thoughts? I’ll post another photo tonight.

[DankwingDuck]

Well based on those numbers you could have another 30 days . I would really base your flush of those trics not a time frame . You could possibly feed for 2 more weeks even longer and you plant will pack on a lot of weight in its last few weeks so your not going to wanna hinder that growth by starving your plant . If your trics are cloudy I would flush if they are clear I would feed. How big is that pot btw . Looks a little small for your girl . A little late to be transplanting now but something to think about in the future . Also if you train your plant some you can get more then one top cola . Your top colas will have the best bud . When you harvest you may wanna consider only taking that top cola and letting the rest go another week . I know she is getting big and your ready to get to the fun part but patients is key . You will thank yourself later if you wait for the plant to tell you when she is ready to flush and harvest . Instead of trying to put an exact number on it . There really isn’t an exact number , every plant is different .

CampesinoWeed PharmaD.A.A.S.69 what do you think . You guys give me more advice then anyone else . Am I wrong or did I cover everything pretty accurately? Chime away please .

[Campesino]

Agreed!
I am so curious how one would know what the plants nutritional needs are by looking at it. I mean I talk to my plants and they talk back, but they aren't able to articulate specific nutritional needs to me. They just say things like, "we really like that water" or "Is the sun coming soon", they never say, "I would like an additional 3ml of Micro"! Lmao.
Cberdahl I really strongly recommend following a nutrient schedule, but alas...the question at hand is harvest time and yes, follow DankwingDuck 's advice. I am currently growing a plant that was advertised as being done in 42 days. It is currently day 73 since the flip and she is still motoring along. I thought I was going to start flushing her yesterday, but she is still not ready! She may very well end up taking twice her advertised flowering time!
The other thing to realize here is that breeders count flowering time as days with pistils, not days on 12/12 lighting. Generally it take a week to 10 days for pistils to form. If you don't know when your pistils showed up just take 10 days off of your count of flowering days. So I suspect you are actually only at day 32 or so of flowering (based on pistils).
Cheers

Look at me all knowing chit . 😬 you would think I listen when y’all speak or something 🤣 .

[Weed Pharma]

I've provided my experience in this thread: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...-yellow-leaves
I have no more to add.

[Cberdahl]

I completely understand what you’re saying. I also agree, maybe a week or two of feeding remain. The trics are still clear, I’m just starting to see some white hairs curl (<10%). Just put her to sleep and here’s a photo.
yes, the pot is only 3.7gal pot, I didn’t expect her to get this big truthfully. Noted for future grows to transplant to a bigger pot when I switch to flower. One benefit (or burden, pending how you see the glass) I’ve found with the smaller pot is that I get water more often and thus give more nutrients. I have to water every 2-3 days so she’s due tomorrow or the next day.
30 days is sad news but as you said the patients will pay off.

[DankwingDuck]

The best way to do it is if your plan is 3 foot tall at the end of your veg cycle transplant right before you put it in the flower To a 7 gallon pot Your plant will basically doubled in size and you want to have about 1 gallon per foot and you always go a little on the bigger side to allow it some room to really branch out. Now this number changes a little bit when you’re growing indoors because your plants don’t get as tall as they went outside but really about a 7 gallon pot is good I wouldn’t do less than 5 gallons in flour and I would never transplant at once it’s in flower always transplant at the end of your veg cycle or sooner

Also invest in some fabric pots you’ll thank yourself later for it I got mine for like a buck apiece at the Hydro store

[D.A.A.S.69]

Cberdahl, you go by the trichs, like DWDuck said, you got at least another month ,maybe longer.
It's just gonna get better and larger, keep on feeding, until you see a little amber. Or they are all milky-cloudy. Nice job with your plant, it's just gonna take a little longer. But you will be glad you waited. Patience.

[Cberdahl]

Campesino; reading your post again. Thank you for sharing that fact about the pistols. That didn’t occur to me and was great insight. As for the feeding schedule, I’ve followed fox farms before and received less than favorable amounts of trichomes. So now, I still follow the same schedule but add other nutrients from other brands. I literally apply more and more every feed until I see a negative effect, then hold that quantity. I feed once every 2-3 times I water. If the schedule with fox farm isn’t getting me what I want, then what would you suggest? New line of nutrients? A super soil?
Thanks!

[Campesino]

You are welcome. I was confused by the flowering timelines when I started growing as well and I think this is a key reason that many growers harvest too early.

I see what you are saying about nutrients. I really suggest that you consider EC/PPM if you are not getting the results you desire. I actually prefer growing in Coco because I can control EC/PPM and plant nutrition very precisely. And I can fertigate (nutrients and water) 4x per day (rather than feeding every second or third watering!)
You can certainly get good results with Fox Farms stuff, but I think it is a little Hot and they rec really high EC. Supersoil is pretty neat stuff too, and is a much different style.
If you want to think about Coco, I wrote a guide: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...rowing-in-coco
If you just want to learn more about EC, I wrote a guide for that too: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...u-need-to-know

Great info. Thanks everyone. My question. I am using 2 grow spaces. 1 for veg and 1 for flower. Can I train the plant under a net or tie it down in the veg chamber and then remove the trellis and ties and move it to the flowering chamber and start tucking and tying again. Thanks. My first grow.

[freddyyola]

i think it would be alot of trouble to take a trellis down without damaging anything but if you can, you could re trellis them up again and the trellis should be raised higher than before..

[freddyyola]

would it simpler to swap the lights out the rooms or swap the lighting cycles im not sure how your set up is..

[wheatgrass]

Thanks Freddy. It is a cabinet. Lights can not be switched. That is what i was thinking about the trellis. I think i can tie and untie. I've never done indoor or hydro.

[DankwingDuck]

I would build a pvc frame and attach the net to that . Then you can move it all at once together . There is different size pvc . So you can make it any size you need . Attach the net with zip ties . You should not have a problem move in’s it . And you say hydro . Is it dwc or coco or what . So your going to need access to the roots depending on how your set up.

[wheatgrass]

Thanks Duck. Sorry for not giving enough detail. It is DWC. A cabinet with the veg down below and flower up top. 2 T5's down and 600W LED up top. I'll probably have to top them once or twice then when i move them I can tuck them til they are done stretching.

[Campesino]

Yes, this! Don't use the net until you get into the flower tent!
Cheers

[wheatgrass]

Thank you my friend! That is what I will do.

[DankwingDuck]

Bend and tie down to till it is bigger

[wheatgrass]

Thanks Duck. I am going to apply both methods.

[LeeLeslie]

Yes - A Total Pot Goddess Forsure !! I owe the beauty of my grow to You & Nature !! Thank You for the Wisdom & Inspiration !!

[fwril]

Why is it so fun? I never would have thought I could enjoy or care about growing a plant in all my days. Buy i love it! Anyone else find it supriseing?

[freddyyola]

your brain release seratonin i think thats what its called (its some kinda chemical your brain makes to make you happy) to the receptors when your are in the garden area around soil and plants growing i enjoy watching them grow it makes me happy when i see my plants looking sexy as fuck! lol

Hello GWE Community -

I am on my first grow - the plants were put on the 12/12 flowering schedule about 4 weeks ago, I have them light during the night (cheaper electricity and easier to control the temperature) and they were doing excellently until last Friday - I had to have some electrical work done on my house - so the electricity was turned off for several hours - when it was turned back on, the lights all came on about 4 hours too early (arghhh!!) - Unfortunately I didn't notice until they had been on for about a half an hour - I unplugged them, re-setup the timers and unexplicably got the time wrong by 12 hours (the old am/pm thing) so when they turned on, they were only on for about an hour!! When I noticed that error, I quickly turned the timers on, re-setup the timers again, this time getting the am/pm thing right, I forgot to put the timers back into "timer" mode (I gotta cut back on smoking), so the plants were subjected to 18 hours of light before noticing that error!! (double arghhh!!!) I put them back on the 12/12, but now I would not be at all surprised if the plants are now back in veg mode -

I know the whole sequence is a bit confusing, suffice it to say, I totally screwed up the light cycle for about 24 hours. The question is, how can I tell if they went back to veg mode? If they did, how can I coax them back to flower? What other problems can I expect from this snafu?

Thank you for any insight or advice,

Warmly
Coyote

[freddyyola]

im not as experienced as these guys but you should be fine a slight mishap is ok to me because in nature there eclipses and cloudts that cross thqe suns light and give temporary darkness they might feel confused for a bit but im sure 2 2 days back on track will be good and you wont even notice that they noticed... lets hope so anyways!

[freddyyola]

i was in my closet when the light went off on me i had to fiddle to unplug and replug the timer and fan so that the fan runs 24/7 and doing so i had to turn the light on and off a few times from plugging and unplugging but it only lasted a minute i doubt it hurt them any cause they were not in darkness long enough to think its night time / sleeping long enough to "have a rude awkening" disturbed by the light im sure that was ok thats more like a few clouds crossing or an eclipse but they look good to me!

[freddyyola]

yeah just try to keep em on 12/12 should be fine also it matters if your plants are healtty or not the healthier a plant is id guess itd be able to take more stress
