without lights 76
without lights 76the temp is 79 and hum. is 64. i've been watering every 3 days. the pH of my water is 6.8
what do you think another week?She looks overwatered or like you're having a pH issue but you're nearing the finish line! Getting a little foxtailing going on too, what is your temp and humidity? For both lights on and lights off. Drastic swings can influence foxtailing.
I had foxtailing this last run, so it may be a result of the CFL's as well, will know if this is a factor after this next run I'm starting. But I also had a hell of a lot of instability so I'm pretty sure that's what triggered my issues.
To be honest, it felt like a good schedule. I guess i'll water her less now. sweet!! when she is almost ready, would you cut down on the watering? with less water does she start to really put on the thc?Perhaps, maybe a bit longer. Plants under CFL also take a bit longer to finish.
Are you watering every three days because that feels like a good schedule or are you watering because the pot becomes light in three days? As she nears end of flower she'll drink less so the waterings can be tapered down. pH is on point though and temp looks good. RH is a bit high but shouldn't be a terrible issue. Just watch for bud rot this late in flower. Around 50% would be more optimal.
She's finishing up though, I think two weeks would be about right for being ready.
Yea, seamaidens been a great help as you have been. I hope she fattens up some more. They say this plant was to finish up in 60-65 days. I guess its all in the way you grow. She's been going over 10 weeks now. YES!!!! I'm getting really excited for only my second plant that I have grown. You seem to break things down better for me to grasp as with seamaiden. You have been a great help!!!!! peace outKind of. There's a lot that comes into the maturation of the various cannibanoids. The main reason you cut back on the watering is you're aiming to mimic the fall season. Typically, things dry out during the fall season and die off. The goal is force the plant to start completing it's reproductive processes and one way to trigger this to let it dry out a bit more between waterings. This is why in soilless grows people will flush then let things dry out during the final days. The decrease in nutrient levels and moisture triggers a natural response in the plant, effectively forcing ripening.
However in all mediums you will see a decrease in liquid uptake as the plant nears the end. This is why in soil you start decreasing your waterings. She's beyond the major growth moments and she's just fattening up at this point so definitely be cutting back on the waterings. If she were a photo plant I would say she's probably around week six or seven of flower so she's definitely not going to be drinking as much.
On that note though, you should make it a habit to only water when the pot is light. Hell, you can even wait until the fan leaves droop a bit in soil. It's easier to recover from under watering than over watering ime. Pick up the pot 15 minutes after you've watered then pick it up every day after that and feel the difference.
You will see an increase in trichome production as well these final weeks. Everything will just increasingly look better and better. She'll fatten up a lot and really come through solid. I saw you stopped in Seamaiden's thread, just keep those details in mind and you'll be pleased come smoke time.
Hello tobh, the plant itself Sprouted out of theI'm a hoarder of details lol the more detail I know about something the better I understand it and hope to not overload others with the extent in which I go into things. The 60-65 day mark isn't total growth time, that is flower time. Even still, under CFL's those numbers are inaccurate as this particular light source doesn't finish plants out as quickly for some reason. Add about 14 days to their highest number and you're looking at a more accurate time line for maturation. I tend to go for closer to 80 days flower time under CFL's as a baseline simply because of this factor. Some genetics come through sooner but most take longer.
Either way, at the 80 day mark you're looking at some decently stony product. Glad to have been assistance to you man. I know I wouldn't be as capable as I am if it had not been for some incredibly kind souls along my personal journey willing to point things out and direct accordingly. Sometimes you pay it forward but sometimes you pay it back. You getting across that finish line is pay back in my book haha.
Excited to see how she finishes out for you. If you haven't yet and are able, get some new seedlings started so you don't have much of a delay between runs. The goal is self sustenance in all this, yes? By the time you're hitting the bottom of your last jar you'll already have the next round ready to go into flower or if more autos, should be well on their way I would assume.
One Love,

Hey there tobh, the planted sprouted out of the ground 76 days ago. This is funny, I marked it on the calendar so that I wouldn't forget it. So the plant has been growing now for just a little over 10 weeks. That sound right?

So, you think about 14 days, this is killing me, lolol, but I said I was gonna take her to the end. You'll have to give me some tips on drying. lol, I did try a small nug a few days ago and it was very good. Sweetness!!!!So 77 days ago, would mean approximately 3 weeks of "veg" stage I would assume so subtract 21 days from the 77 gives you 56 days flower. That would be my guess. Take it out to 70 days flower and you should be thoroughly satisfied.
Also she's spitting out pistols.So 77 days ago, would mean approximately 3 weeks of "veg" stage I would assume so subtract 21 days from the 77 gives you 56 days flower. That would be my guess. Take it out to 70 days flower and you should be thoroughly satisfied.
got a loop!!!!! lolDrying and curing is an art in itself. I dry in a dark area at around 70 degrees and 60% RH. Cut off all the fan leaves and hang the branches upside down. Leave for 5 to 7 days, until the stems snaps but doesn't break clean. Shuck the main stems and trim the remaining leaves. Load the buds into jars and burp daily for the first couple weeks. Goal is to dry cool and slow. Might look into freezer curing as well. It takes a bit longer to smokeable product but it's supposed to be just as good if not better than a standard dry and cure.
She'll continue spitting pistols until she's ready for harvest pretty much. This is why you want to wait longer. Once the pistols stop showing up and she looks tired you'll know she's ready. If you can, getting your hand on a jewelers loupe could assist as well though trichomes aren't the most reliable means of verifying maturation. They're simply an additional indicator in some strains.
I had a bc hash plant autoflower and was told try not to stress her out . It got root bound and never came out of it . It stopped growing and eventually did dieRIP lil'hashy. Hope she came backIf those are Autos, it will certainly be stunted. Not sure if she'll make it.they do not like stress, life cycle not long enough to correct.

Hello tobh, it was harvest yesterday and wow what a plant. I will put some pic's up after the 5-7 days hanging around. lolol. Question for ya, can I take a pic while she's just hanging around or leave them in dark. Peace out.Drying and curing is an art in itself. I dry in a dark area at around 70 degrees and 60% RH.

She is real purple. Almost black.Drying and curing is an art in itself. I dry in a dark area at around 70 degrees and 60% RH. Cut off all the fan leaves and hang the branches upside down.

Hey there tobh, here are a couple of pic's (sorry they didn't come out that great but u get it). Again thanks for all your help. Peace Out, grow onYeah, at this point it's advisable to keep her in the dark as some terpenes are real sensitive to light and heat. You can snap pics though, not a big deal. Just try not to fuck with her too much while she dries out for you. Best option is call your guy, pick up a stash and forget about your lady in the closet for a week. This way your patience isn't tested too much. Glad you got to the finish line!
