Know this is an old thread but had to update it with final outcome.
Total grow time was 130 days (from germ).
Took me about 9 to 10 hours to harvest her. I have some nugs that are just insane and a TON of under developed nugs that will be dried and put into edibles.
Just wanted to thank...
The whole idea of LST is to fan out those branches. You will have to constantly manage the LST but once you have them trained, it makes life so much easier for light distribution and leaf management.
You should always start LST after node 4 or 5, so you get em young and they start to hold...
So, I'm in a tiny bit of a time crunch. I'm finally coming up on harvest for my Devils headband and I want to do a flush but also do the 48 hour night time run to push the plant to pull everything out it can at the last moment.
Is it ok to do these at the same time? I've been easing off nutes...
Dude, 4 weeks in and you aren't doing some LST? :-) I would mess around with at least one of the plants and try training on it. Those guys are going to get big if you're at 4 weeks :-)
If they aren't autos, then look into FIMMING and TOPPING and try them out as well. Its fun to mess around with...
I'm switching to 12/12 and holding it for the duration. It might give lower yeilds but I think it is the safest choice at this point.
The breeder didn't seem to worried so I'm gonna guess that I'll be ok. We will see in another few weeks I guess haha.
I have 2 x 2000W Valspar LED lights (actual draw is 200W per light) i am going to slowly lower my humidity as well to around 45 in the coming days and keep it there or lower.
I figure from here I have about another 3/4 weeks before flushing nutes.
Yeah, never done that either so would be...
From what this breeder said it's a Semi-Auto super strain. Devil's headband mixed in with another strain. I don't know what I should do at this point.
It's already 26 days past the '60' day flip time period, and the buds are forming at 18/16 albeit at a slower pace.
What if I do a 12/12...
So found out something today. Talked to the guy who I got the seeds from and found that this is a Semi-Auto and that I was supposed to switch them to 12/12 at day 60...
So, now I'm wondering if I should switch to 12/12? Will it make any difference? The buds are already starting to grow so just...
She's drinking almost 2 gallons a day. I have a humidifier that I keep her at 50% RH right now.
I really think this plant just stalled drastically after I cut Soo much over those few days. Now its just catching up but I'll never truly get those dense bud sites.
Fingers are crossed but...
She's keeps on pushing on.
I think my problem is that she grew so much after the cutting week and I really REALLY should have cleared off more , that now she's just trying to support the 20+ flower sites.
I know from now on how to handle the trimming, and TBH, will never use autos again...
If I see the ec drop significantly then I'll know she's eating like crazy right? Right now it's eating up water like crazy and nutes a little here and there.
So I just checked the res after it sitting for a day and it drank up a ton of water but barely any nutes. Filled it back up with pH'd water and will check again tomorrow morning.
EC is going down and pH is rising a little so looks like they are eating nutes, but a lot more water.
