Seedlings 10 days old- a log

My only feedback: :jointsmile::rasta::D:stoned::):smokin::thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looking great, man! Probably another 3-4 weeks, but maybe slightly longer or slightly less depending on strain characteristics. What are you using to look at the trichs? That'll give you the best idea when to cut.

One more succession of smileys, for good measure: :dance: :clap: :smokin: :greenthumb: :food10: :jumphappy:

ha! hey homes glad to see you are still checking in :D It's redhair skunk so its 8-12 weeks on the flowering. I've found early cultivation to produce the best "uphigh". Waiting too long can leave you with "coma" weed. Which is nice, but I want to be conscious :-)

I'm using my camera and macro to look at the trichs at the moment :( heres some pics.

Peace,

mmmmm nice frosty buds :thumbsup:

On a side note, don't you pick out the dead leaves from your grow? I find it really helps with circulation of air throughout the plants especially closer to the soil.

Very nice grow. I wish mine were nice and icy looking like yours

hey bro, thanks for looking. Yeah i do remove the dead leaves slowly. I try and let the plant take the most natural course possible. Of course in nature it doesn't have a kind soul to remove its leaves for it, so maybe it just ain't supposed to be. Still, i do like to give it a helping hand.. like removing dying leaves or leaves in the way of bud sites.

For the 3 plants I use a 2 litre coca cola bottle almost all the way full + 6ml of biobizz Biobloom ferts (~week 4-5) + 5-20ml vinegar depending on the current soil PH. :)

I've found my soil to be very close to a neutral PH, perhaps some of these factors have helped create the circumstances required for these nice frosty buds. Have only been PH adjusting for a week or so, since the beginning of week 4 flowering.

I think my main thoughts now are to when to stop giving nutes.. I want my buds to taste fresh not vingeary or nutey, :D

what do you think mr c?

I can tell you what I'm planning for my grow which is about 4 weeks away from being done.

2 weeks before ending flowering I plan on flushing with 3 gallons of water 2-3 times a week. Stopping about 4-5 days before harvest times comes up.

Going to try to get the plants nice and yellow before harvest.

Be careful with the final flushing, you don't want to keep the soil constantly saturated right before the chop. This can lead to some unfavorable conditions with root rot, possibly bud rot, higher RH, etc. If you've used a bunch of fertilizers in flowering and you're worried about getting everything washed out, maybe consider a heavy flush once or twice in the 2nd to last week, one in the last week, and plain waterings in between. From my experience I've noticed that in the last few weeks, my plants seem to enjoy getting pretty dry between waterings.

And Denial: Those buds are looking ridiculously good, my friend! :jointsmile: As hard as I know it is to wait longer than you already have, still make sure you do a good cure on them... it's the difference between hash flavored lawn grass and full-blown sweet dankness. It's a pain in the ass to wait even longer, but it's definitely worth it.

Daihashi nailed the final flushing time on the nose... wait until at least two weeks before you plan on taking them down. Different people flush differently, but I like to use the method above. My soil can get really soggy with too many heavy flushes, so I generally just do one heavy flush in the last week and one the week before that. Then just enough plain water to keep them happy when the soil starts to dry out. Even with all the organics I use in the soil, I rarely need to do several flushes. As long as the runoff is clear after the first flush, I prefer to try and limit them in the end. The slightly added stress from the near-underwatering near the very end seems to make the trichome frost a little heavier. (But it's by no means a scientific analysis - your results may vary.:D)

hey homes, thanks for such a long post explaining everything for me, you really are too kind!

I have reached a compromise which I find fair. I snapped one tiny lower bud off for a quick taste. I will let you know how I get along with it.

Don't worry guys i'll super dry it to kill the chlorphyl enough for it to be pleasant.

Curing, yeah dude. Agreed, I still can't see a problem with curing some of it for different lengths. A week cure should be OK, a months cure should be ultimate dank! IMO , of course!

:D

I'll let you know how this smokes later bro,

Peace,
Denial
