Special Kush harvest only 110 days

Second try with special Kush. I know 110 days isn't that long but I didn't veg this for too long because of my tent limitation. was still in flower for nine weeks though. SCROGGED two plants with substantially different outcomes in the same tent. One of them is this monster the other biggest bud was less than half this size. Pretty happy with this grow.

110 days or 15.7 weeks I’d say that’s a long time especially with most hybrids taking 70-80 days or 10 weeks

Well done keeping her green for that long a lot struggle to keep it green for 70 days nvm 110
She does look a bit packed with n. I’d switch to water only for the last two weeks

Looks good

How can you tell because of the nutrients? Because it's still so green?

 

[Gmix]

Yeah, because it’s so dark green
You want a little bit of fade before you harvest

The dark green comes from nitrogen

As said mind it looks very nice. It’s very frosty.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. I left this one alone even more than some of my other grows. Next time I'll leave it alone even more!

Less nitrogen in late flower would give you more flower

Recommends tapering nitrogen in late flower to prevent leafy buds and promote resin production.

Advises reducing nitrogen in late flowering to improve bud quality and avoid delaying maturity.

Best Practices

Reduce nitrogen starting around week 6-7 of flowering (for 8–10 week strains).

Switch to a "bloom booster" formula high in phosphorus and potassium (PK).

Avoid overfeeding — nitrogen toxicity can delay flowering and reduce resin.

FROSTYYYYYY It might have been a long grow, but looks like it was worth it.

Was this 110 total? Or just flower

I hope so! Each grow is getting a little bit better.
