Pest Spray has burnt my leaves

[tingting1]

Hello All

I have a female outdoor Frisian Dew plant which is starting to go into flowering. It is 3 and a half months old and 4 foot tall and growing!

I noticed a few of the leaves had started to get eaten on the sides so I went to a reliable shop who told me that a product called 'Bug Clear' should do the job. Stupidly today I sprayed it in the full sunshine (was a very hot day today) and I have now noticed that quite a few of the leaves have gone a bit brown/burnt or stained. My question is, how will this effect the plant and is there a better way to solve my pest problem?

I also was wondering how much I should be watering it right now? It's in a 40 liter tub and growing shows no sign of slowing down.

I don't have any photos right now but any feedback would be much appriciated.

PS. This is my 1st grow hence my concern and obsession lol

Many Thanks

I would say never spray a pesticide on a plant that you are going to ingest at some point. But that is just my "organic" side rising up. And there are many growers on here that would disagree with me and be right (maybe) for their situation.

Do you even know what was eating your plant? Was it even a bug? What kind of damage did you have?

There is a troubleshooting form available at the top of the plant problem forum. Please fill that out and someone will help you diagnose and solve your problem.

[tingting1]

Thanks for your reply. I have no idea what was eating it. The damage was pretty minimal now I come to think of it and I feel like a real idiot for inflicting this much more visible damage on my baby. The side of the leaves looked like that had been eaten by a small pest and small holes were appearing on some of the leaves but I could never really visibly see the pests. The plant still looks healthy enough apart from the brown stains but some of the tips are starting to curl a bit and appear yellow/brown. Original bottom leaves are started to dry and fall off now but I've heard that usual. Thanks once again

[tingting1]

Some pics now attached, feedback much appriciated

[crabbyback]

If you are just starting to flower, I'm not sure how much leaf drop you should be seeing. I don't grow MJ outside, so I'm unsure of how an outside plant behaves at this stage. For an indoor grow, you don't want to be seeing much leaf drop or discoloration at the start of flowering.

The spray damage. Is it only to a few leaves, or the entire plant? And is the damage staying the same or getting worse?

[crabbyback]

I meant to mention that overall you have a very pretty plant, :greenthumb: looks like a sativa.

[tingting1]

Spray damage I would say is about 5% of the plant, ie, only a few leaves + a few of the leaves that have been nibbled on by something! Thanks for your comment. I'm very very happy with it apart from the few things i have mentioned

[crabbyback]

:eek: What is that glorious blue flowering plant in the background behind the MJ?

[tingting1]

Hey Crabby

The plant in the background is a Clématis. Pretty indeed!

More pics from today attached. It's still growing and most of it looks healthy enough but I'm still having some issues with discoloration, leaf burn and now curling tips. I've heard the bottom leaves always slowly die and fall off and that it's normal so I'm not worried about that

More pics to follow, let me know what you think

[tingting1]

here you go

[crabbyback]

I love that clematis. Do you know which species or variety?

The leaf spotting I see on your MJ plant concerns me. IMHO (again I say I don't have outside MJ growing exp.), it does not look like the natural aging of fan leaves.

I suspect a pH/nutrient problem. What is your irrigation water pH? What do you feed? When did you last repot?

[crabbyback]

The tops of those plants look beautiful! Also, your lawn and moss look so green, I'm jealous. Hot and miserably dry here right now. :(

[tingting1]

I'm afraid I'm not sure what species it is (it's my uncles)

I have no idea what my irrigation water PH is. This is my first grow and I'm a real novice. I have been using bio-grow inconsistantly and watering it every other day with a couple of liters of tap water with the bio-grow mixed in. How much water should it be getting at 4 months? I repotted it about 5 days ago, it's in a 40 liter tub at the moment. I have been very inconsistant with watering and nutes though so I think your right. I have also been putting in some superthrive once in a while. Any suggestions for a new consistant routine?

Thanks for all your help man

[crabbyback]

MJ is pretty picky about her pH. You need to monitor your pH at every watering.

You're going to need a way to test pH (either test strips or a pH meter) and a way to adjust it up or down, if necessary.

All these topics (watering, checking/setting pH, nutrient selection) and much more can be found in the grow FAQs and the stickies at the top of each forum. You're going to have to make a bit of an effort in this too, you know. :jointsmile:

Best of luck, ting. Let me know how you do.

[Rusty Trichome]

Looking pretty good so far...

The leaves that were affected by the spraying in sunlight will likely not improve, but they shouldn't get worse. New growth will be your indicator.

The spots are caused by one of three things I can think of:
1) Lack of calcium. Molasses in your regimin can correct this.
2) Bug bite neckrosis from individual bug bites making dead-spots.
3) Leaf tip irritation from leaves rubbing or 'tapping' against/on other leaves. Been windy there?

With a consistent feeding schedule you will have much better results.

A word or two about Superthrive (http://www.puyallup.wsu.edu/~Linda%20Chalker-Scott/Horticultural%20Myths_files/Myths/Vitamin%20B1.pdf).

[tingting1]

Hi Rusty

Thanks for your reply. I figured the burnt bits wouldn't repair but the good news is that it has grown nearly an inch since yesterday so I guess it hasn't effected it that badly.

Just been to a shop to get a PH test kit and the guy in the shop told me to just give it water for a week and then start adding minimal amounts of nutrients every 3 days?

Yep, It has been pretty windy. Do you think thats the reason for the leaf tip irritation? They have only just started to curl in the last 3 days. It's been very very hot and I think my bro sprayed some water on the plant during the hottest part of the day which obv didn't help things!

I'll keep you posted over the next few days but apart from the problems I've pointed out it looks fairly healthy right?

1st grow and a little obsessive lol

Thanks

[Rusty Trichome]

It's been very very hot and I think my bro sprayed some water on the plant during the hottest part of the day which obv didn't help things!
Let the plant hydrate herself. Spraying while heat-stressed, adds stress. Keep the rootball (pot) shaded with cloth or boards or something, but allow for air movement around her. (shade cloth should work)
Don't overwater because it's hot, but make sure she doesn't run the soil completely dry either.


1st grow and a little obsessive lol
Hmm...that's unusual. :jointsmile:

Go easy with giving nutes every 3 days. Start at a lower dilution rate, (1/2 strength?) and adjust if needed. But form a schedule. Guesswork can and likely will kill your ladies. Always measure your nutes.

[tingting1]

Thanks for the info.

I always measured how much nutes I was giving her, just i didn't have a specific schedule. Every 3 days or so but I now realize that I was feeding her a little too much.

At the moment she is in the house by the window so getting light but not intense sun or wind. I'll let her rest and see how the next few days go and then post some more pics cos I really appriciate the help you guys have given me

[Rusty Trichome]

Overall she looks pretty good to me. A tad too much soil in the pot, though. How long does it take to water her? (are you making sure to add enough water to reach the lower root zones?)

A board leaning against the side of the pot provides shade, keeping roots cooler, too.

Are you moving her indoors every night, or do you usually leave her outside all the time? Unless you are on a rigid schedule, best to leave her outside. Plus, when you bring her indoors, likely you're bringing in spiders and gnats, too. Not good for your houseplants.

[tingting1]

At the moment I'm giving it two liters every couple of days, do you think that's enough or too much?

I take it in every night as soon as the sun goes down and take it back outside first thing in the morning. It seems to have gone well doing it like that so far. I have no other houseplants so bringing pests in isn't really a problem, I would just rather that they wernt there in the first place!

[BlewBerry]

From what i can see, I love your backyard. :) It looks so peaceful, and that purple plant is gorgeous.

I used a product called "Bang" to clear up a spidermite problem a while back and the application said to use 3 parts water to 1 part Bang. WAY 2 STRONG!! Within about 12 hours every leaf was turing discolored and the stems were starting to go limp. This is a 3 month old mother mind you. I rushed her into the bathtub and sprayed her down as best i could, but the damage was done. Since then i tried the product again and found that a 20 part water to 1 part Bang works alot better as opposed to there recommended dosage. IMHO, i would use any of those sprays at 1/10 the dosage and work up from there just to be sure.

[tingting1]

Thanks Berry, it's a great backyard or garden as I would call it. Very peaceful indeed.

I feel a little stupid cos the damage done by the pests was minimal at best and now I've made her look UGLY! I think I'm just way too overly protective of her and a bit of a novice so hopefully from now on i'll do things right and there will be fewer problems. Thanks for the info though, if i notice more pest damage I will def look into buying some ''bang'' and use very small amounts of it.

Cheers

[Rusty Trichome]

At the moment I'm giving it two liters every couple of days, do you think that's enough or too much?
For regular watering, in a 10 gallon (40 liter) tub, I'd go with at least a gallon or two each time. A couple of quarts will only moisten the top few inches of soil, leaving your lower root zone dry as a bone and non-productive.
I drill a hole near the bottom third of my larger pots large enough to stick my finger in, to see if it needs watering. (1/2 inch to 3/4 inch hole, depending on largness of your finger, lol) No, the soil doesn't all fall out, and with larger pots you need to know if the water is getting down there. Avoid drilling deep enough to catch the roots, but if you hit a couple, it's no big deal. :thumbsup:

I'd water to the point of runoff at least once a week on feeding day. (adding nute mixture after runoff starts dribbling-out) When feeding, at least a gallon, perhaps two of the nutrient solution properly diluted....added to the pre-moistened soil.

You will likely have to adjust waterings so as not to overwater. The larger pots usually hold the moisture longer till the plant get's bigger and uptakes it faster.

[tingting1]

Wow, so by the sounds of it I have been majorly underwatering her recently. Thanks so much for all your help. This is really useful information which I shall put into practice right away. I'll post some more photos in a few days time to show you how she's doing.

Thanks once again and I hope you don't mind me pestering you further if I have any more questions?

Cheers

[Rusty Trichome]

So far you're not pestering. Looking forward to the next round of pictures. :jointsmile:

Now if only the weather would cooperate. :thumbsup:

[Rusty Trichome]

Some pix of my 5 and 15 gallon ladies:
I just transplanted into the 15 gallon pots the other day - 18" tall. The ones in the 5 gallon pots are a couple of weeks into 12/12. All are Inca Spirit x PokerFace x Diesel cross. (mostly indica)

[Lit Up]

Hey tingting, you plant looks very nice. I wouldn't worry about your leaves, since you don't smoke them anyways. Growing outdoors varies heavily from growing indoors. Your plants are not going to look as pretty, ie the brown spots.

This summer is my first outdoor grow. My buddy grew out outside last year with a few clones I provided. Good thing, cause I was freaking out over some things and he stayed calm, turned out he was right.

But what i am trying to say is that your end result will be the same even though she may not be to easy on the eyes. But I think Im too high to clearly state my point right now, so......

Hey Rusty, how ya been?

[Rusty Trichome]

Hey Rusty, how ya been?
Other than dealing with the heat, grumpy as ever.
What's up with you? Haven't seen ya around much lately.

[tingting1]

Thanks man. You guys are really helpful. I see your point and realize that I'm being well over protective as it's my 1st grow but as a whole, I'm very happy with how it's turning out. New pics in the next few days.

Cheers

[tingting1]

by the way Rusty, very nice looking girls

[Lit Up]

Busy busy, looking for a job.(just landed one for now) Working on my outdoor grow, which I am very excited about.

I don't have my indoor grow going atm and my outdoor grow is back home about an hour away, so I get back about every other week to check on it. My buddy is taking care of that mostly. Works out good, he provides the spot and I provided the clones 50/50 split on the crop.

I was going to move back and live with him, but I couldn't find a job over that way and ended up getting on in the town I went to school at. But hopefully something will open up over that way so I can be closer to my ladies. I feel helpless when I am this far away.

Plus I don't really have a computer right now, at times, but I'm working on that too. So basically doing alot of work.

Oh and tingting, did you know what sex she is? Is it a clone or from seed?

[phatsesh101]

im not sure where you are located but usually pest problems outside GENERALLY remedy themselves in my experiances i had a mite prob about a month ago and was kinda worried nah thats a lie well yeah dont want them buggers indoors but a couple days later a small mantis a lil larger than an ant was helpin me out with a spider freind no more prob.

except catapillars every year just as the buds start to put on weight and you cant see them fuckers cause theyre inside the bud on the stem until one day the bud is just dead :mad: so be care ful but there is no need for drastic measures like with indoors.

why do you take her in?

i also water from the bottom every couple of wters just let it suck it up

[cptcannabis]

Try Neem oil for pest control on your plants. It won't burn the leaves like other pesticides will, and it's organic.

[tingting1]

ok. Just went out for 3 hours. The plant had been indoors but it was sunny so I decided to put it outside for a few hours. I just got back now and this is what I have found. Nearly twice as bad as when I left. What the fuck is wrong with this plant?????:mad:

[tingting1]

I believe the plant is a female and was grown from a seed. It's Frisian Dew by Dutch Passion. Thanks for you help by the way Lit Up

[Cyclonite]

After 30 min spray with water....that really helps with burn and gives enough time to kill bugs

[tingting1]

Ok have done. Will update with photos tomorrow. Many thanks

[Rusty Trichome]

Looks like not all of your leaves are affected. Is this correct? Watch those that look healthy and no spots, and see which direction they're heading...normal growth or speedy neckrosis.
Damage done previously to the leaves will not improve, but neckrosis on the damaged leaves will get worse as time goes by depending on how bad the damage was. New growth should be fine though, and don't start pulling leaves that aren't pristine. Let her deal with that.

Old leaves are old news, so give her some time to get herself acclimated to the new growing conditions. Let us know immediatelly if anything bad happens or isn't looking right. (take your time if she's doing great, but we'd love to hear that too)


I don't have my indoor grow going atm and my outdoor grow is back home about an hour away, so I get back about every other week to check on it. My buddy is taking care of that mostly. Works out good, he provides the spot and I provided the clones 50/50 split on the crop.
Ouch. I'd be going through some serious seperation anxiety to be that far from my computer and garden, lol. At least you seem to have it covered. :thumbsup:

[tingting1]

Yes, it's still only about 5% of the leaves i'd say that have been effected, but I have noticed a few markings on leaves that wern't there previously (i could have just missed them though) the newest leaves at the top are looking very healthy though. I guess it makes sense that old leaves that have been effected would only get worse, it just gave me a bit of a shock to see how much worse they had got in just a few hours. Will post around this time tomorrow night as I'm working 16 hrs tomorrow! JOY JOY JOY!!!

Will keep an eye on unaffected leaves and see what happens to them

Thanks again buddy

[tingting1]

Hey all. Have no pics just yet but will post some tomorrow.

Plant update and a few questions:

1. New levels and leaves are coming through and all look very healthy as do the heads of all the newish branches. The burnt or effected leaves look the same as they did yesterday and haven't got much worse so fingers crossed that that is the last of the damage.

2. More of the bigger bottom original leaves are now starting to die and drop off. Is this normal? I have read that it is normal for the tiny original leaves to drop off, but now the bigger ones are and this is slightly worrying me.

3. My plant is now over 4 foot and 14 weeks old. How much bigger should I expect it to get and when should the plant start to flower? I'm a novice and can't tell if It has yet so could anyone please help me form the pictures I have supplied earlier in the post?

Thanks guys, you have been a great help so far.

[Rusty Trichome]

1. Cool. :thumbsup:
2. Ya don't really want to see all the undergrowth die-off, but some underperformers that don't make it are kinda expected.
3. When you switch the lights to 12/12, lol. (no clue...I grow indoors)

Would love to see the pictures as she progresses. :jointsmile:

[tingting1]

Cheers Rusty. Yeah I guess I will just let nature take it's course and as the days get shorter in the UK she will start to flower. Must be soon though I would have thought. Will post pics of each part of the plant tomorrow so you can have an overall look at how's she's doing

Peace

[tingting1]

Hey Guys

Here are some shots from today. Latest update:

1. New leaves still coming through healthy.

2. Old damage not getting worse

3. Original leaves still dropping off by own accord

4. No new signs of pest activity

4. Ordered a cheap walk in greenhouse to house her now so she can get used to the same amount of light and darkness everyday and hopefully go into flowering. She is now nearly too damn heavy to move so this is my best solution I think. Going to try and make the thing pest proof!!! LMAO

What do you think???

Cheers

[Rusty Trichome]

I think she's going to be huge. :jointsmile:

Will take a little getting used to the schedule, and small adjustments will be likely necessary, but she's looking great. :thumbsup:

Make sure she doesn't cook in the grenhouse, and that there's adequate ventilation. Does it have the optional screen door?

[tingting1]

Hey Rusty

Yeah it has the screen door too. Hopefully it should arrive tomorrow or the next day and I can erect it and see if I need to make any changes to it. I may put a fan in their if I can run a long enough cable from my shed. Will post pics of it's new home once it arrives. Exciting times!

[BlewBerry]

Lookin Good! I am using the biobizz also and am liking the switch from foxfarm. I tend to use more than the recommended dose of the Biogrow to keep up with the fast growth during veg...what dosage do you use? I switched over to the bizz from foxfarm because I am tring to grow as close to 100% organics as i can and Biobizz is the only nute line at my growstore that is OMRI listed.

[tingting1]

Haven't actually been giving it any more biogrow since I started this thread. Just been giving it good old fashioned tap water and it seems to be doing fine. Will start to use again during the flowering period which I hope will be soon but things are on the up I think. Literally!

[Rusty Trichome]

If no signs of flowering, likely you should start giving veg nutes again. Would start with half-dose, and watch for a response. :thumbsup:

[tingting1]

Hey Guys

Thought I would post some pics of her in her new home. She is loving the new tropical environment and looking very healthy to me. What you think???

[BlewBerry]

Looking good and love the greenhouse. Are you going to top her or leave her single? She is definatly looking nice and healthy...kudoos

[tingting1]

Thanks man, think i'm going to leave her single. It's my 1st grow and I wana see how things go. She is getting huge now. Will post some new pics tomorrow.

[tingting1]

Hello Everyone

So she is now 18 weeks old or 4 and a half months old and now a little over five foot tall. I have a concern/question for you kind people. I read something last night that said if you start your grow too early it messes up the plant and it will grow tall but not yeild too much of the good stuff??? Apparently the best time to start an outdoors grow is June 1st???? Is this correct? I started late March! My concern......

She is already huge and hasn't started to flower yet. The packet of seeds said that the flowering stage for Frisian Dew is 7 to 8 weeks so another 2 months!!!! and that harvest should be the 1st week of October. My question is how much bloody taller is she likely to get in the next 2 months?

On the plus side she looks and smells amazing and seems happy in her new home. I'm not too concerned about the yield as it's for personal use but I would hate to have grown her for all this time and to only get like an ounce or something.

Sorry, 1st time grower stressing about nothing again I'm sure!!!

Here are some pics for you to enjoy.......

PS. Love feedback :rasta:

[Rusty Trichome]

No clue, Haven't grown outdoors since...high school, (30ish years or so) but if you don't get an answer in the plant problems forum you could try the outdoor forum. :thumbsup:

[tingting1]

Cheers Rusty. Have started a new thread in outdoor section so hopefully will get some good feedback. You have been a great help though so cheers mate. How are your babies doing?

[Rusty Trichome]

This was taken a couple of days after the last pix. Currently training the buds to self-cure, self-manicure, and jump into the jug. :jointsmile:
Actually was a prescription of Humboldt Co. Trainwreck my neighbor was showing-off. So far she said no seeds from the jar. :( Keeping fingers crossed, though.

Am recharging the camera batteries so will have to get pix later. But the ladies are doing fine. :thumbsup:

[tingting1]

Just beautiful! I want what is in that jar now!

[tingting1]

So there was a massive storm last night and the greenhouse blew off knocking the plant in the process. I wasn't around but got told about it this morning. Apparently the plant was leaning majorly to the point where it was almost on the ground so a friend put a stick of bambo in the soil to tie it upright again.

When I arrived to inspect the damage I noticed that all of the leaves where very droopy (I assume this would be down to stress???) Thankfully none of the branches snapped, only a few of the smaller leaves and fallen off.

I've managed to errect the greenhouse again and secure it much better this time.

Just wondering if the droppyness of the leaves is down to the stress of the whole situation or if the bambo might have damaged some of the roots??

My plan is to leave it be for a couple of days and see how it copes. Any other things I should be checking for?

Thanks

[Rusty Trichome]

Ouch.
Any damage to branches or mainstem? Were any roots popping-up out of the soil? Did the pot break or did it just fall over?

Have you got it staked-up good to keep her upright?

I'd treat it like transplant shock and ease-up on nutes for a week or so, and keep an eye out for nanners. Also, I'd watch for new growth to appear, then resume normal schedule.
Likely it will stunt her a bit but at this point in her maturity, likely she can pull through with limited complaints. (think positive :thumbsup:)

[tingting1]

No damage to branches and only a tiny bit of damage to mainstem (noticed a small area about half the way up which looked like she had had a thin layer scratched of her) not sure how else to explain it but it didn't look too bad.

No roots where out of the soil and as far as I'm aware the pot didn't fall over, I think it was just incredibly windy and the plant took a bit of a battering. I have put some bambo into the ground and tied it to the plant so she is now standing in an upright position. I'm going to go check on her again tomorrow so I'll post some pics of how's she's doing. FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

[tingting1]

Hi Guys

Thanks for your interest. So it's been a few days since my last post so I thought I would update and ask a few more questions for a change. Here goes

I have now moved her from the greenhouse as the top was hitting the roof and restricting her growth. As she is going to grow a few more feet I felt that bending her was not an option so the greenhouse had to go. As a result of her growth and the lack of space available the top of the plant looks a bit messed up but I hope this will adjust itself in the next few days???? I'm glad you've said that sex dosen't show normally till early Aug cos as of yet I have no solid evidence that she is infact a female. Just guessing and praying.

My main question is this.

I have automatic lights that come on in the garden when something triggers it, ie a human, cat, fox or burglar etc....... I can turn this off so ultimate darkness is ensured, but I wanted to know just how sensitive plants are to light disruption during the flowering period? I live in a fairly residential area where house and street lights are slightly visible from the grow area.

Attached are the latest pics. Thanks once again guys

[tingting1]

Mad! Just realized she's grown nearly 2 foot in half a month!

[IrishBudSmoker]

im just waiting to see more pics tingting....very nice...im jealous....deffinetly a sativa!!

[tingting1]

will post more pics when I get back from vacation.

[tingting1]

Hey Guys

This is going to be my last post before my vacation so time for an update and some new pics

The first white hairs have started to come through!!!!! They are too small to capture on my crappy camera but this gives me a lot of hope that is is infact female! She is adjusting to being outside 24/7 very well and is standing strong(with the help of some bambo) whilst enjoying the great weather we've had today. Hopefully things will just keep getting better from here on in and all the storms are behind us!

Here's a few new photos. Next update will probably be the start of August when hopefully we'll be able to see some bud action

Cheers

[tingting1]

Hello Everyone

Back from holiday now. 2 Weeks away from the baby was hard work but what I came home to def put a smile on my face.

She is now a few inches over 7ft and I can now confirm that she is 100% female well on her way to giving me a great yield (fingers crossed) Lots of white hairs now!!! The weather I've been told has been pretty choppy but she seems to have been getting enough sunlight IMO.

Only bad thing I noticed is tiny holes starting to appear on a some of the leaves. I couldn't get any great shots of this damage as my camera was acting up a bit but In one of the photos you can clearly see what I'm talking about. A friend of mine who has a little experience said it was nothing to worry about but I would still like a 2nd or 3rd opinion!

Thanks all, any feedback much appriciated :D

[tingting1]

Hey Guys

Just thought I'd show you the latest shots of the plant if anyone who helped me earlier in my grow is still watching her progress. About 2 weeks into flowering now. I'm very happy. What do you think?????

Cheers :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Rusty Trichome]

Looking good, filling-in nicely. But what happened to the greenhouse? If ever there was a time to restrict insect access, it's near the finish line. :thumbsup:

[tingting1]

Greenhouse was 5ft. She is now over 7ft! It had to go, I had no choice. Not so much problems with pest at the moment, just the furious winds we've been having the last few days, it's still been sunny though. I think I've tied her up well enough though. Seeing good growth everyday which is a positive and for a first time grow I guess I can't complain.

Good to hear from you Rusty

[tingting1]

Hey Guys

Here are some pics about a month into flowering. Buds are coming on great but some of the leaves (mainly the bigger fan leaves at the top that I haven't trimmed yet) are turning yellow and drooping a bit. At the moment she's getting about 4ltrs of H20 every evening and that's all. Any suggestions or comments greatly appreciated

[tingting1]

Really windy here today. Just got back from work and one of the branches had snapped off! It was a smaller one from the back which wasn't getting that much light. I have secured the plant much better now so fingers crossed that is the only one that gets damaged.

How much of a big deal is this by the way. Any chance it will stress the plant out so much that It dies or should it be ok. Pics to follow.

PS. How should I go about drying the branch out so I can try it, this is my first grow

Thanks

[tingting1]

Hello Guys

So the branch snapping didn't seem to effect the plant at all. In fact since I have pruned some of the dying leaves she has been putting a lot more energy into the buds which are coming on very very nicely. Just measured her for the first time in ages and she is now 7ft and 5 inches!

Here are the latest photos, buds coming along very nicely!

Cheers

[tingting1]

Some more pics for you to enjoy. 1 month till harvest now I recon, what you think?

[MeLoco]

That's godly, I would be so proud if I grew that.

[tingting1]

Thanks meloco, as you can tell I'm pretty proud of her:thumbsup:

[tingting1]

Greeting everyone

Been a while since my last post so here goes.

She is now 8ft and exactly 6 months old. No more dramas have happened since my last few posts and I'm proud (and sad) to say that next week I think It's harvest time!!!!!!! :D !!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the latest photo's, does everyone think that it is in fact time to harvest of a few more weeks? Leaves at the top are starting to turn either purple or yellow....

Pics attached

Many thanks and feedback much appreciated

[Rusty Trichome]

Very nice. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Best way to tell if she's close to harvest is to watch the trichomes. If majority are still clear, she could use more time. If mostly cloudy, she's ready when you are. If mostly amber, she will have lost some vigor and will slowly die off.

If weather is cooperating, your options are wide open. If it's getting too cold, too windy, or too wet...your plant will likely decline quickly. But it is a final decision for the plant, so chose wisely...there's no going back. (except perhaps for a re-veg opportunity)

Got a guard dog...?

Again...good job. :jointsmile:
