Yes and in person they are even frostier, like someone dumped a load of fine diamonds all over the plants lol

Lately the stems on the fan leaves are bright red on the upper half of all the plants. Any ideas whats causing this?

Temps are between 65° and 75°. Im using the AN 3 part PH perfect range. I thought it was a potassium deficiency so upped the PPMs a bit hoping to fix it but they are showing slight nute burn on the leaf tips so I backed the PPMs down a bit again.

PH is always between 5.8 and 6.0

@just.blaze did the fan leaf stems go red on you mid flowering?

Midway through Day 37 and compare this first pic to the very last pic I posted and look how much that bud has grown in just one day!

And here are a few shots of other buds:

These buds are really beginning to take off.

Day 38: (same bud as in first pic in my last post)

Imo its plant expression, it could be the lower night temp making it show some color to this pheno. Everything looks fine to me bro.
Respect

Im getting some dead pistils on a few buds too, is this normal? Its week 5 and a half, and only about 10% of pistils are brown. Only some buds are like this, other buds are 100% white

Yes the very 1st pistils are maturing. That is absolutely normal.

Start of Day 39: (same bud as in the last pic. Im thinking of uploading daily shots of this one bud just to look back on)

And heres a few other random pics. Theres a bunch of tops in the centre that somehow always turn up invisible in pics lol

woohoo...looking good!

Day 41:

Just a few random shots, tomorrow will be 6 weeks since the flip. Hoping they will be ready to harvest around week 9. Looking frosty as hell, cant really see it in the pics.

Guys I have a question regarding runoff. Today I checked the runoff and Im confused.

Before feeding I PH'd the nutes to 6.1 and the PPM was at 820. When I tested the runoff the 3 plants gave me different results. They are:

1: 5.6 PH & 700 PPM

2: 5.7PH & 760 PPM

3: 5.8 PH & 630 PPM

What does this mean? Is this normal? Im growing from seed and the 3 plants are very different phenos to one another.

If the PPM drops then the plant is taking up more nutes than water, if it rises it's taking up more water than nutes. If they are the same then the plant is taking up equal amounts of water and nuts....

Right so all is good then? I thought that when the PH drops like that it means PPM is too high

Good to see ya this far Irish. Almost ready. They all seem within range both ph and ppm so you should be great. What size hempy again,3 gal? How much are you having to give em to get runoff? Im just curious. Im starting my other hempys soon. They are 2.5 gal. Buds look awesome. Bit of advice though is research how long that strain takes in ideal conditions and if you conditions match then right around suggested harvest is perfect. If conditions are a little less than ideal make sure to take that into account as it may not be fully at its best if picked early. Good luck and they look great

Thanks man, Im using 3gal buckets. I feed 2L each and get about 40%-50% runoff. And yes, Im now thinking it may go to week 10. Its meant to be an 8 week strain.

 

[burn4me]

Id wait til mid week 8 to start judging pull time and a very close eye after that. 9 seems like a happy medium. Good luck

Day 45:

Some buds are fat like the ones in the pic, others are thin and wispy with barely any bud formation. I have a feeling these plants may go on until week 10, hope Im wrong and that they are ready at week 9.
