finishing flower with the spiderfarmer sf4000 gdp grow

Nice! That purple color really starting to come in. In a few weeks it will be much more pronounced.

Are you on week 8? I thought you are in week 6

 

[biggerbud420]

yea like day 6 of week 6 i took a few weeks as like 3 or 4 weeks lol

 

[biggerbud420]

and all the plants didnt start the same week i think 1 started one week and the rest the next . the one that started was the one u liked with dark green leaves its only about 15 inches tall lol

So basically you are right around week 7. Yeah I would say you have a few weeks to go a 9 week finish is pretty common a lot of the hybrid type strains I run land around that 9 week figure for the chop. I also like to let them run a little longer personally cuz I like the dark amber crystals. Some of that is personal preference some guys like to finish them a bit sooner for the clear trichomes.

why clear i thought it was cloudy and amber

why clear i thought it was cloudy and amber

It is personal preference. Cloudy and amber will give you a more potent sedative high. Some people like to harvest when the trichomes are clear because it's supposed to give you a cleaner more lifted clear headed high. Personally I like the mule kick. Im amber all the way.

i thought it was clear was not ready cloudy was more head high amber was sedative cloudy and amber 50/50

Yes I guess technically you can say thats correct. But it's not a hard switch between these three colors in reality it is a slow transition from clear to cloudy to amber. Some people harvest earlier on the spectrum while others much later.

It doesn't look like nutrient burn (Overfeeding) to me cuz that usually shows itself by your leaf tips turning brown. If I had to guess I would say maybe its the light a little too close to the canopy. I say that because that slight yellowing only appears to be showing on the very tops of the flowers. Nutrient burn will show everywhere to my knowledge not just the tops. Im not totally sure but this is my guess.

i did raise the light about 2 inches

To reuse this soil would all i have to do is flush it real good when im done and let it dry ?

here we are 1st night of week 7 of flower my plants look good but i keep feeling i fucked it up somehow
i watered 2 used the same water from the 5 gallon mix of yesterday not sure why my camera pics look like that

cal mag 5 tsp
grow big 10 tsp
tiger bloom 12.5 tsp
p.h 6.3 ppm 1030

 

[biggerbud420]

just some random pics from tonight under the spiderfarmer sf4000

On the change in light cycle back to 18hrs. I contemplated it and did some research.

Don't do it even if you don't see reveg. The plants shift to vegetative growth and thus leads to a complete stall, stunting and production of terpenes, cannabinoids etc. from almost everything I have found on it.

I'm not sure dude, most growers here use that technique now. 18/6 for the last 5-7 days of flower. No longer though. It seems to make a worthwhile difference.

what is the worst that could happen ? could you not still harvest and smoke the bud from the reveged plant

I'd have to take your word bro. But everything I find says they shift very quickly back to veg.

Would be nice to see a side by side clones testing before the cycle change and after to be a bit more conclusive.

I always 99% skeptical of anything without a study or data to support it. I just find observation is always what the grower wants it to be.

Now that's not to at all say they are wrong... because I very well could be but from the info I have gained I'll wait before making the plunge or at least test one plant and not a crop first.
