1st Grow! Do They Look Ready?

[jackwhite]

my first grow
2- northern lights
1- lemon og haze
1- bubblelicious (no pic )
approaching week 8 so I am going to start my flush in a couple days. plan ondoing a 2week flush. my bubblelicious is lagging behind but once I finish my flush I will either refeed it for a week or 2 i have a recirculating dwc 45gallon total

my set up and 1more pic of northern light. the pistils are still pointing up and white i fig 1-2 week flush they will be perfect for harvest! any advice will be appreciated! ty

I'd let the. Go for another week the. Start the 2 week flush

 

[jackwhite]

I was thinking the same, my lemonog looks ready though. Im nervous of going past my harvest window

Also i was going to give them 30-40% nutes for this week then flush.

 

[embaks]

Do you have a scope?

 

[embaks]

I'd wait till 1/3 the hairs start to turn

 

[embaks]

Some people do half some do a quarter

 

[jackwhite]

yea i have a scope some of the tric look clear some are amber my scope sucks im going to check tonight then make a decision but my bubblelicious is taking forever so i might just do this week then flush the fowllowing week so it will be 10weeks

 

[jackwhite]

im noticing that the recommended flowering time is wrong. northern lights say 50-60 days not even ready yet

 

[ArcticOrange]

Keep in mind alot of breeders do not count flowering time from the flip to 12/12 but from the onset of flowering a week later or so depending on strain.

 

[indicabush]

Harvest when trichomes are mostly all cloudy/milky would be my opinion.

 

[jackwhite]

artic thats good info thnks ive been counting since i switched to 12/12

I don't think they're trying to intentionally mislead but 60 days always sounds better than 67 right?

 

[indicabush]

@jackwhite ....you may want to keep in mind that the breeder's may be using 1000 watt hps or equivalent; so flowering and yields will vary. Throw in the variables of nutrients and medium and it's a new ball game.

 

[jackwhite]

im running 2 600 watts hps lighting right now and supplemental t5 bloom bulbs lighting. my first grow so my bubblicious grew taller than anticipated. I just drained my system and added fresh water/nutes at 45% strength

I checked my trics. 1/2 cloudy 1/2 clear give or take. a couple amber trics but only a few. going to run for another week will check again this sunday then will start my 2week flush. that should take me to 10 weeks.

 

[jackwhite]

how long do you guys cure? Im planning a 1 -3 month cure for my northern lights, and 3 months for my bubblicious to bring out that gum flavor. my lemon haze will do a1-3 month cure.

I'm getting to the point that no matter what the breeder says, I run mine 70-75 days on most strains. Just get better potentcy and medicinal quality.

Peace

Most plants I've flowered need ten weeks to be ripe.. But watch the trichomes to be sure..

I go by the hairs, imo not ready. It looks to me like they are still reaching for the light. I wait for more color and hairs curled not reaching up. I don't use a scope anymore. ECGUY

Tell me about your system, is it flood and drain bucket? Im trying to understand the need for flushing for two weeks
