Hey Dude... You need to flood them with Nutes and Cal-Mag... can't you see those yellow leaves?? :mushtache: Actually, they look great!! I love how Sativa's lost their leaves and everyone freaks out!! You have done a great job and I'm impressed. Some of mine are getting ready for their big day, but the Sativa's still have a little ways to go (even though I think they are pretty big already). I'm having a lot of issues with stuff falling over and the grow is starting to look like a Vietnamese Punji Stick trap, with all of the bamboo sticking up trying to support stuff. I noticed some general leaf yellowing and that is telling me that it's getting closer.
I went to the grow site and took a few new pics for you. Like I said, things in the center are getting jumbled. The Malawi turned into a 3 1/2 headed hydra and grew tall. These are at 7 weeks flowering. The other single tall Sativa was either train wreck or Gorilla Glue. The buds that have a few little tips, the beginning of foxtailing? It's a Black Diesel, I'm pretty sure although I have a train wreck in there as well and I can't remember which is which. Short term memory issues.:cool: The Matanuska Thunder, which is in the back left corner, didn't do as well, possibly because of damage from the spider mites earlier in it's life, or possibly because I'm using a 10K halide bulb on them instead of the usual 3K bulb I usually use. The ones under the HPS seem larger and more robust, but the mites were the question in the equation since that plant was pretty hard hit. The 10K bulb is supposed to be used, according to legend, at the end of flowering, but I used it from veg thru flowering. I used another halide, 6K, for vegging and a HPS for flowering, and it seems to have made a big difference. I guess I'm not too old to learn, and the 10K bulbs seem great for vegging but I'm not impressed with their flowering. It's only recommended for the last week or two, and now I know why. Here's the pics:It feels right letting them yellow and the smoke from the popcorn I've been trimming has been cleaner and cleaner. Changing the light schedule caused a lot of fattening and I don't believe I'll see a decrease in yield at all. At this point I'm letting two phenos go until July 3rd while the others ripen even more.
You'll have to get us more pics of your grow.
Looking good how long are you going to flush for? Oh and good luck with that job not that I feel you need it.
nice light strips !!!Day 3
Coco coir - 580ppm/5.8 ph
Liquid Karma/Pure Blend Pro Hydro
77-80f Leaf Surface Temp
74-77% RH
14350lux/270 PPFD 3000k Average
12" Light Height
So I amended my journal format because I don't measure ambient temperature, though the strips are at 75f on average, rather I use an IR gun to adjust my controller to hit 77-80f on my leaves. My fan is strong and lowers leaf temps to 68f if I leave my controller at 80f rather than 82-86f.
I located a website to convert my lux output, 14350lx on average from leaf level, to umols hence the average 270 PPFD. Though measuring the light on the plants near the walls, they hit around 14700lx whereas the middle plants are around 14000lx. Either way I had my light way too dim before talking and researching what was discussed in that thread.
The last seed did germinate but it pushed the cotyledon out but the tap root was still in the seed so I covered it up and watered it. Otherwise everyone is growing fine since I adjusted the driver intensity and the color is looking fine so I know I didn't mess up yet.

Damn NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!Day 77 - 11th Week of Flowering
Well thanks everyone for following, liking, commenting, etc. I've continued plain water flushing but two phenos still won't fade lol.
The net was really good at hiding all the foot long colas. I removed the net and watched several branches fall and break their stems. I enjoyed the grow and they were all productive phenos that are making sweet lemon candy smells with plenty of resin and oil.
Here are final pictures while I let them dry on the vine for a few weeks.
Thanks @Srenots @Buzzer777 @Jimster @MIMedGrower @Funk junky @PlumberSoCal @Ina
Sorry if I missed anyone

Damn NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy!
Wow! Fantastic results. Looking foward to the smoke report eventually. They look like my kind of flowers. Citrus sativas good :)
Smoking on a lemon thai hybrid as i write this.
Things are looking pretty damn good! You done good, kid!
' make sure you give us a smoke report !!! and yield numbers - wanting to grow some of "Ace Seeds" geneticsDay 77 - 11th Week of Flowering

On the coat tails of your harvest, I took a long look at my old school Matanuska Thunderf**ks and they are getting ready to come down as well. I'm a little surprised that they finished so quickly, just a little over 9 weeks. I had some issues with spider mites earlier, so maybe that is some of it. The fan leaves are starting to yellow and I'm getting the purples on some of the buds as they mature. Everything is snapping and getting messy, so I think it might be close to the end. I'll give it another week, then say goodnight. I think the 10K finishing bulb might be responsible for their faster finish, as the majority o the room has more HPS color, just the 2 that got mostly the 10K MH matured so quicklyThanks! You definitely helped.
Thanks! If the smoke is right, which from sampling bud it is, this will be my go to. I'll tag you for that report
Thanks! You helped a lot too.
Where have you learned about calcium and leds? Always trying to improve my grow and I use led's and had a heck of a time with a sativa (just harvested) that I want to try again. Calcium deficiency shows as brown tips? How can you tell difference between over nutes and calcium? I see brown tips and think over fertilize. ThanksI wouldn’t add n . Personally I would give a quick flush to remove excess salts then try to lower the n if possible and up potassium, I would say those Burt tips is not nute burn but start of a potassium deficiency.
I also find since I started using leds I have to use calcium more or less throughout the grow.
When growing tropical sativas most breeders will tell you too be easy on the nutrients especially nitrogen.
I grow in soil though so not sure about coco? I believe most of the companies sell an a and b solution?
I’m sure ace seeds would be able to help if you if you e-mail them.
If it was me I would treat your thread as a third party for legal reasons and see if they can take a look at the thread?
Just an idea would like see if anyone else thinks I’m right with the nutrients?
