Had a look at my trichs today. Quite a mixed selection, some leaves have 50% amber where as some bits look quite clear, the majority being milky though which is good. I dont think they are quite milky enough ! Tomorrow i will start the stress ripen, freezing cold water at 7ish and the lights out for 3 days. Will harvest on the 13th (one day of the reccomended flower time). :jointsmile:
I'm harvesting the 13th aswell. I need to give you a little warning about stress ripening. It really increases your plants odour, they get proper pungent. Wear a clothes peg on your nose when entering your grow room, otherwise the smell may become so tempting you won't be able to resist cutting your plant down. :DQuote:

Do you rekon since the last nute feeding and considering there was no flush straight after shes going to have any chemicals left in the buds ? It would be a week with aboslutely nothing and 8 days of tap water ?? aahhhh
When you say Canna, do you mean PK? or just normal nutes? If just normal nutes then 8 days should be fine. The Stress Ripening is also a kind of flushing, the plant has no light, so it uses whatever food it has stored.
If the last time you fed PK was the 29th and you are cropping the 13th thats 14/15 days, which is just right for PK.
Getting closer char!
The buds look great and Im looking forward to hear how that strain smokes for you. I might check it out in the future...
yea u av a 2 giv ful description ov smoke the smel and everyfin.. Lookin nice.. So u fed em ice cold water? Iz there any risk ov hermieing wif stress ripenin.? How u doin jay.? Ow much u rekn u gna get? Wt u gna grow nxt? X
woop woop :D It was indeed pk. I was panicking that i was going to have over ripened weed or weed which is harsh :wtf: Got my water in the bridge ready for tomorrow night :DQuote:

Herming takes a while or one big stressor will produce a hermie but the stress is so close to harvest the plant wouldnt have time to react, you got nor worries :jointsmile: Dunno if your asking jay or me but im expecting around 20gs hopefully and im going to give hash making a go which i will post up if it works, next grow i'm not too sure, i need to build a cabinet and get new lights. Once this is done im going to get a load of the smaller cfls and get some crop rotation going. So start say 6 plants off from seed, grow em to about 2-3 inches tall, flower them then two weeks later grow another 6 from seed. This means when i harvest ill be harvest 6 plants every two weeks, only problem is cost of seeds, going to give it a rial run with some cheap ones and see how it goes. :rastasmoke: (will go into even more detail when i figured out completely what im doin) :smokin:Quote:

Hey man glad ya got there:thumbsup:the buds look great. I was thinking, why don't you do like 6 seeds then take 6 clones. When the seeds are done put your clones into flower, but before ya do, take clones from your clones and so on. This way while ya flower, you can veg. Then just keep this going as it would save on seeds and the clones will grow faster. Just a thought:cool:
:rasta:
Leave the fan on mate, I keep mine on 24/7. They need fresh air regardless of whether or not the light is on.Quote:

If you go the smaller bulb route you are going to have to do some wiring, so if you don't want to do that you are going to have to buy 125w CFL's. Looking at the costs of the stuff, I think I will end up going the 125w route myself.
