Hi guys. Planted 4 plants in February in England they are now starting to flower. They have grown outdoors the whole time. 2 of them are beautiful but the other 2 are starting to go purple. Was wondering if any1 has any tips? Are they lacking nutes??
Probably not lacking nutes.
Some strains will show color because it is in their genes.
Some will purple up when the temperature drops at night.
In your case, I'd guess that the soil chemistry is getting hard to manage.
When they get rootbound the ph can't be stabilized.
They're too big for their shoes but it's not too late to gently transplant.
Or, at least set that pot on top of a larger pot of soil and let their roots spread out a little.
Lookin' good for size and shape though. :thumbsup:
Aloha,

Cheers pal. Have cut a hole in the bottom and put ontop of a same size pot. Can u estimate how much longer till there ready 2 cut down?? Winters on the way. Lol.Quote:

When it goes from clear to cloudy/milky, they are getting close.
At about the 7th week of flower the calx at the base of the pistils will begin to swell up and the pistils will brown down.
Grab a 30x lens and scope the glands sitting atop the trichome hairs.
When some are amber, and some are missing, it's time to chop.
After you've grown a strain a few times you can jus' follow your nose.
They start to reek mildly when the pop flowers, but when they ripen the scent changes and increases.
Gettin' so I wake up, sniff the air and say, yeeha, we harvest today!

Weezard- most be nice just having to worry about frost elsewhere.
Attachment 295498Attachment 295499Attachment 295500Alright mate. The weather is getting realy shitty up here. How long do u think till I should harvest? Some of the hairs are turning brown. It's going to get frosty soon. I just don't know what to do. Harvest now or wait.
I can tell when to harvest by my allergies. I'll walk into my house and start sneezing, repeatedly, non stop. After taking something for the allergy it's time to harvest. Like Weezard my nose tells me
I have three strains running outdoors. One is ready and I plan to pull it this weekend as we have nice weather predicted until then. One is likely a week behind that and the other two are starting to finish up but show no signs of senescence (chlorophyll degradation, leaves turning color).
Good Harvest, Everyone!
