Ahoy pirates!! Come take a closer look!!

[Mr Pot]

Today is day 90, 4 days later and buds are maturing fast!! I bet molasses made the difference. W6 of flowering starts in 2 days and I have almost a month to go (26-30 days tops) from breeder's recommendation. The pH in roots are near 5.8-6.2 and ppm sits between 500-600. Starting to abuse a bit more of them nutes and the plants are not showing any signs of burn so far, molasses once in a week since I'm watering them less than 2 gallons every 3-4 days.

I'll figure out my flush between 10-14 days so I have almost two weeks to water them with nutes. What do you guys do for flush? A lot of plain ph'ed water or do you just gradually lower your nutrients every watering? I've read again gwe topic about ppm and I think it's hard to mess up here, they won't surpass 800-900 ppm easily. The temperature and RH are high as expected, can't do much about it.

Thanks for stopping by,
Mr Pot

I flush with organics - tea mixture of bat/bird poo, earthworm castings and the like - brand name is Killer Tea. One ounce per gallon. Buds fatten up even more.
And no I don't wean them off nutes. Cuz I feed em nutes/nutes/flush the whole way along.
My girls like it tropical in their tent. Can't do much about the high humidity in the Pacific Northwest.

Wish I could help but I don't flush, all I use is molasses and worm compost tea , the smoke tastes great.
You did awesome Mr.Pot.

 

[Mr Pot]

You bud swell late flowering with this tea? I feed them like this as well, you watch for ppm? You don't bring as close to 0 ppm as possible before harvesting?
Do you know any other tea like this one?

 

[Mr Pot]

Such an enjoyable ride so far! Day 42 of flowering, last day of W6. Plants ppm near 550 and not much pH oscillation (around 6.0).

Started to see some burned tips around here and I've spotted something similar to TMV in one leaf. Can't do much right now and I won't change a thing because this tent is all I have for now.

I have 2 weeks or more for the breeders recommendation (60 days of flowering) and I'm already thrilled. I expect they're maturing a bit more till harvest. Way bigger than my last run and surely not so big as my next batch, every grow is an experience.

Watering around 2 gallons every 3-4 days and yellow lower leaves are starting to show.

The first and second picture shows a 60x zoom from a microscope I've bought recently. Couldn't do best to show you guys the trichomes but they're still up as you can see.

 

[Mr Pot]

It's day 50 since I've flipped, fellas. This is the first day of W8 and the nugs are on fire! I was wondering if the harvest window is already open and how to prepare myself for this anxiety that I'm feeling right now and the treats that are to come. Cleaned my dehumidifier and it lowered a bit my RH as well. Bought a dry rack online but maybe it won't arrive in time. I'm thinking about chopping them in something like ten days tops.
Some tops are touching the tent because of some bad training I did, tried to do without following any tutorial and specification and I was able to grow my plants very tall plants by changing a few things that I've got in hands compared to the last time. Tall isn't the goal at all, wide is, but that amount of learning is priceless. I'll go for a less crowded, cleaner, optimized and, of course, new looking style for the next time because freestyling is funny but tough as well - flowering stretch killed me, not LSTing too much, etc. I'm thinking about scrog and other types of cool stuff.

Thanks for this website for teaching so much knowledge, Nebula and Sirius nailed it. I'm grateful for all the reviews and comments, you guys have really helped me a lot.

 

[Mr.furley]

Looking really good Mr.Pot! What kind of effects are you looking for from your Harvest?

 

[Mr Pot]

Mr f, I'm currently growing one sativa and two indicas. I'd say I preffer a couchlocking effect for the indicas and a bit euforic for the sativa (she's a hybrid) although I don't have enough room, logistic nor time. I was thinking about chopping them in ten days to have a margin for error since I'll be away on a trip for the new year. Won't be able to be here for the first curing days and I'm going to ask for someone trustable to watch them jars for a couple of days. Unfortunately time is against me on this one.

 

[Mr Pot]

Do you think that they are at the harvest window already?

 

[Mr.furley]

Mr.pot,
Yes you are starting the beginning of the harvest window.
50% of the hairs are red.
I'm seeing a mix of clear and cloudy
There is amber, but unfortunately it on the sugar leaf and not on the buds were you would like to see it.
If you could give it a week or more you would be alot closer to mostly cloudy( highest amount of THC).
Right now you are look at a more racey effect.
Mind you I am look at pictures, it hard enough with the plant, but my best guess would be 12 days.

 

[Mr Pot]

I'm not harvesting right now, mr f, I'm waiting for 9 or more days to do so. Honestly, this is the worst time ever for me to take care of my plants because I'm really busy. Imma watch them close but 19 of december is my deadline (I'd be 12 days since the photos were taken. Next two waterings or even three I won't be feeding, only pure water for a minimal flush since they're close to 500ppm and that's not much. I'm watering every 4 days and it wouldn't be wise to give them nutes so close to harvest even though my ppm isn't high at all.

 

[Mr.furley]

Mr.pot it sounds like you are on top of it. Remember to watch the b as of the pistils were they come from the calyxes for cloudy/amber abd keep us posted.

 

[Mr Pot]

I'll watch the pistills that emerges from the calyxes for sure and will keep an eye on the trichs with the microscope.
I think 10-12 days will do for it. Maybe it could be better to let it mature for 15 or more days instead of 10-12 but as I said I truly can't wait.
Thanks for the review mate, I'm expecting the others to say something as well haha!

 

[Mr Pot]

Tomorrow's the first day ov flowering W9. It's been a hellov a ride and two of my plants are looking kinda mature already while one is behind. I've started a thread about curing while on vacation and opening a discussion about it made me look from different perspectives about how should I act if I'm staying a week away at this moment of the run. Don't do that, plan yourself. I thought I could do it but it's kinda hard for me and that lead me to making decisions I don't want to make.

Anyway, I'm leaving town for a week (27, 28th - 2nd) and I'm thinking about cutting both mature plants near the 23th or 24th for a 3-4 days dry then I'll leave the drying nugs inside them brown paper bags on a well ventilated area with only one layer of nugs inside each one. Didn't decide what Imma do with Xingu because she isn't mature at all. Maybe gonna ask for a friend to pure water her once while I'm away but that's not a safe call because I don't have this person yet. If I don't guarantee this I'm chopping them all together. Gonna throw some pics so y'all can see what I'm talking about.

Thanks for stopping by,
Mr Pot

 

[Mr.furley]

Looking good Mr.P
Keep up on your schedule.

 

[Mr Pot]

This is day 129 from seed and the 68th day of flowering. I'm thrilled so far, harvesting in a few days and the nugs just got bigger and bigger the last 10-14 days. Letting them mature a bit more was such a doubt but now I see it is worth it. Breeder's recommendation is just a parameter and should truly start counting the day you see the first budlets. Maybe if I could let another week they could get bigger but I won't do it because it's getting hotter and hotter and I'm travelling soon. Here are some pictures that I just took with a good camera.
I'll update if I take better shots.
Thank y'all,
have a nice one

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hey Mr Pot , yeah ,those are very pretty, they really swell up the last 2-3 weeks.

 

[Mr Pot]

Long time no see, fellas!
I was away for two months and don't really have pictures of the harvest but I was able to pull 5.5oz from the entire grow.
About 1.5oz per plant (mother) and 1oz for all 5 clones (that was an experiment).
These days I'll update the pictures! The smoke is damn good and Belladonna and Durga Mata are awesome!
Thanks for the trip guys and I'll see you soon. I won't be able to start a new grow right now but when I do I'mma upgrade some things. Have 2 packs of three seeds from RQS; Shining Silver Haze and Somango XL, one Bubba Kush, one Lemon Haze and a Royal Gorilla. Let's see how this works out soon!
