Alien NLX Flowering day 30

Well for anyone following along, I've done some trichome viewing and I'm at mostly cloudy, still some clear and very few amber. So I'd say I'm a week or so from a good time to harvest.

Today is day 49 of flowering. Tomorrow I'll do a full res change with plain RO water, note my PPM and add flora kleen as per instructions. I'll take a leaf snipping every day and check the trichomes as the plants are flushed.

Ideally I want them to be as close to 100% cloudy as possible. My personal preference would be a head high rather than couch lock, so I'll be happy if a few are clear to maybe cloud up during drying.

So it looks like 55 days or so will be just right. For more of a couch lock 60+ it looks like. I think this strain would be fun to experiment going direct to 12/12 from seed.

Thanks for the update. Well one of my NLX ers was a male leaves me with one female but thats all I need I am into day 46 veg. Thinkin about going to 12/12 in a couple days. IYHO do you you think this strain is going to be some good smoke?

Peace

Hey, yeah I read where one of yours looked male. 12/12 would be good for yours right about now I'd say. It'll stretch a couple of feet I bet under HPS, so you should be ok.

I think it'll be good smoke. I've been doing fine just from trimmings. I'll report what the smoke is like when it's time.

Yeah got a male and yanked it. At least I got one girl out of the deal. Do you think she looks okay? The leaves below the top node are not as vibrant. There are times though when they are stretching out and pointing upwards. I am sure there is some deficiency somewhere. Day 2 flowering perhaps the cycle has freaked her out a little and it may not be a deficiency. I am at about 800 pp, humidity is about 45%. 400 watt hps about 18" above the canopy. pH consistant 5.8 water temps are right at 60 to 65. roots look really healthy. What do you think. Anyone! Thanks in advance!

Peace

It looks ok to me. If it's growing and looks green and healthy then it should be good.

I did my full res change yesterday before lights out after checking trichomes closely every day. Replaced with 10 gallons of RO water along with about 80ml of flora kleen. PPM is at 220 for now, should go down every day as I replace out a couple of gallons per day as it flushes.

During the change, one of the super heavy branches leaned wayyyyy over against a wall, so I played contortionist and managed to string it up before it snapped it's stem.

My PH constantly wants to rise back to 6.0 because the water has virtually zero buffering capacity, so I'm not going to worry too much about it at this point.

Sweet thats awesome. IYHO how much do I stand to yield off this one babe?

Peace

Yield? Oh boy, I have no idea since it depends on everything, lol. If you have 1 plant now in a 10 gallon tub, then it will be ABLE to get huge, definitely. If you're keeping it in a bathtub, you'll have buds packed against the wall maybe, hehe.

I'm hoping to harvest at least 1 complete plant this weekend (maybe), so I'll post pics and data once I get trimmed etc. Personally, I dont care about weight since it's just for me, but since I own a scale for baking/cooking, I'll see what I can figure out for the sake of posting.

I have a friend who has a couple of 5-gal hydro bubblers in her spare bathroom. Haven't seen her since she started them but said she's turning them this week so they must like it in there. Those are terrific looking plants btw! ;)

Thanks, Weedhound!

I'm still taking a small snip of trichome covered leaf each morning and inspecting closely. This morning's sample looked like every single one was ripe and milky, with only a few clear ones and 1 or 2 amber. I've tried getting a pic through the scope, and I can do it, but my camera is such an antique that they come out terrible. Oh well.

The hairs are still mostly white, but more are browning every day now. Flushing seems to be going fine, my PPM now is at 120.

I've been filling up 2 gallons of solution from the res each morning, and replacing with 3 gallons of RO water with more flora kleen (extra gallon due to natural plant uptake). Seems to work ok. I dont keep a huge stockpile of RO water around, so hopefully a few fresh gallons a day will do the trick.

Sounding juicy....

Hey you think its alright to use FloraKleen say like the whole blooming cycle but of course the last week just use Florakleen and RO water.

Peace
