First Grow GG#4

[Cannacaps4U2]

She just finished her 4th week of 12/12.

I think she looks pretty good.

As this is my first grow ever, I am only guessing another month?

I hope all those bud sites start filling out.


I have increased the nutes to full strength FF, grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom.

Nutes today second time this week.

I think she may be done stretching (I still have another 4 inches I can raise my lights)


Any thoughts on additional nutes?

Anything I should be doing?

Been doing a lot of reading on when to harvest, drying and curing.

Let Nature, with a little help, take is course. When you check the tricones do it in normal light, not under the grow lights. Looks real nice ! Good Growing !!

 

[Cannacaps4U2]

Can you see the tricones with the naked eye, a magnifying glass?

Hi Cannacaps, You need a jeweler's loupe; maybe this will help: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum/growing-community/176441-tips-on-how-to-view-trichomes-clearly

That's really the best way to tell, plus almost all of the pistils will have browned. You do not want to harvest too early, which would definitely affect the quality/strength of the medicine.

Just a piece of my experience get a loupe over a cheep digital microscope. I bought both and my $50 micro went right in the trash. Get what you pay for with those

Just finished 7 weeks of 12/12.

A few of the pistols are turning brown, I am guessing another week or two?

Some mighty fine buds going here, I had to support one of the colas as it seems to be getting too heavy to hold up the weight.

Really getting sticky and quite a wonderful smell.

The loops are all you need but with patience the microscopes can be pretty useful. I use the loop and only use the microscope to double check before harvest. But its not needed just kind of neat.

Harvest time today.

After 70 days flowering, and 15 plus week's total growing.

Pistols were mostly all brown, and trichomes were almost completely cloudy.

Before harvest.

Anyone care to guess how much this will weigh once dried?

Also got a small amount of trim (baby buds)

One more shot of the buds

Great job enjoy the smoke let it cure well in a month the effects you want will get even better.

Second grow in micro cabinet.


I just finished my second harvest of the year from my micro cabinet.

Two Northern Lights plants.

I have made a few adjustments along the way.

I added a second PC fan and some more venting to the bottom.

I had a problem this summer of keeping it cool enough.

I changed my flowering lights to be on during the night.

Fans running constantly kept the temps manageable.


Enough talk here are some pictures.

Just before harvest

Now the harvest and drying

And 2 weeks later

6 grams over 4 full ounces.


Ready to make a batch of canna caps.

I started drying in the attic but had to move to the garage because of too much heat.
