What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

[DankwingDuck]

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

[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).

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.

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

Excellent advice DankwingDuck, that's great advice.

[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]

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 .

[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 .

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.

[Dr.Moggs]

Agreeing with @DankwingDuck
You should harvest when the trichomes start to become cloudy.

The time of the harvest effects the high you get from the weed.

If you want to know about what is the right time I would recommend you to read this: https://www.growweedeasy.com/harvest

[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.

[DankwingDuck]

What are you feeding her and how old is she ?

[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]

As you already said every plant is different . It depends if it’s a Sativa or Indica. Sativas flower for 10-16 weeks and Indicas flower for about 8-10 weeks .

[Cberdahl]

Thanks for the reply, here are some shots of my trichomes. How long does it take for the trichome to change color? Week, 2-weeks??
