The weight of the buds will not be supported all by well wishes and hoping for the best, so last minute resort make the tent look like a puppet.

Be careful with using the twine this way, lesson 790 is that it can wick moisture into the buds and cause mold depending on where its tied. I use white twine like this to tie down my branches for lst where it stays far away from the buds, I like that its soft enough not to cut into stems as they grow and strain against it. I use thinner black nylon string to tie up the heavy branches that droop during flowering, it doesn't seem to hold any moisture or cause problems.

Adding potassium silicate from veg to mid flower will make stronger stems.

I didn't think about the moisture shit. My humidity is increasing I'm guessing because of the density of the buds and plants but it's running high 60s

I'll definitely be adding it to the next grow I think I'm too late to add it now yeah?

Lesson 791: Get that humidity down!!!! I got bud rot like 7 weeks into flower because I cheaped out and didn’t order a $40 de-humidifier off amazon.

Seriously. 60% is a bit high. You should be 30-40% at that late in flowering. Be careful.

 

[Trippyhippette]

I thought maybe it was because of all the rain but im going to have to figure it out! Thank you!

What cultivar are you growing? Some varieties won't produce much amber (haze) so I have read, and many sativas can take longer than 12 weeks to mature.

Are your buds showing any other signs of maturity such as majority red/orange hairs and no longer getting bigger?

No idea, they're bagseeds. And this is my first grow so I'm not experienced in being able to try and guess. I posted some pictures above from this week if you could take a look. Almost all my hairs have turned color, and they've definitely been bulking up, so I had to reinforce with some string lol

I love that though, I'm a sponge always trying to learn!

The learning never stops. Its like a great book or movie that doesn't end. Sometimes its a love story and other chapters are horror lol

Why do you say cultivar? We eat at a cultivar downtown, thought it was a eating establishment > who knew?%%%%
