ok you guys, well I have taken a look at the top colas of the ladies and the trichomes are mostly cloudy and some heads of the trichs are getting the amber color.....So assuming from what i've seen I would say I probably have 2 to 3 weeks before harvest (was shooting for early to mid March anyways).
My first question is regarding when everyone says flush does that mean just every time I water i'd give pH corrected water, or do I water everyday for a couple weeks with pH corrected water? Because I usually water my plants every 4-6 days and hearing people say flush makes me assume watering it everyday to clear the nutes out....? Also wouldn't watering everyday overwater the ladies?
My second question is considering I don't water but every 4-6 days, would not watering for the last week help "pre-dry" the plant?I read somewhere when you don't water for the last week before harvest that it helps speed up the drying process.
So my plans were to stop giving my plants nutes for the next 2 weeks and give them only pH corrected water and then the last week I wouldn't water it until I go to harvest....Does this suffice with anybody?!
Appreciate any help that may come my way! Also everyone who has been keeping up with my log I appreciate the feedback and words of encouragement! You all are the reason I have made it as far as I have with my grow! THANK YOU!!!!!
well i haven't heard anything back bout to flushing so i'm just going to do what i feel like i should do.....so i've got about 3 weeks left so i'm going to give my ladies some molasses for the next 2 weeks and then flush with just water the last week......Besides that, i've just taken a few more pics of the ladies.
First 2 pics are the main colas of ladie #1
Third pic is of ladie #2 main cola
Last picture is just a pic of some trich i got through my microscope. It didn't turn out like I wanted but I just thought it looked cool so I included it! :D
Took a couple of pics while I watered. Today I gave my ladies only molasses and water and I will continue to do that for the next 2 weeks. Hope ya enjoy the pics......
looking damn good italiano!

I flush with distilled water, sometimes adding dab of molasses ... I have 'heard' it draws the chemicals out better ... I don't know if it does, or not, but it doesn't hurt anything to try ... I agree with you, doesn't make a lot of sense to water, right to the end ... I cut off the water, the final week ... beautiful plant you have there, and Silver Haze is supposed to be a bit difficult ... kudos :thumbsup:
looking good man .. gunna be some nice tasty buds... i use a shit load of molasses and sweet the last 2 weeks... but you have to use enough water that you get a good amout of run off.. then wait until its real dry before next watering.. cant wait to see that harvest :thumbsup:
Thanks for the feedback.... If it is supposed to be a bit difficult then I can't wait for another go at something! :DQuote:

If everything goes as planned should be ready to harvest in about 2 to 3 weeks! Will look at the trichs tomorrow morning to see how they are coming along and try to take some pictures through the scope to show everyoneQuote:

Doing awesome, they look great.
I saw a sponge on the wall, it that to increase the humidity?
Whats your grow cap dimensions?
You still using 3 cfls and 2 grow tubes?
Nah the sponge was just in the bathtub for cleaning, LoL.....Quote:

Sooooo close to chopping them up. I bet you're getting excited, I am. I can't wait to see the finished buds.
Be sure to take pics and tell us what amount you ended up with.
mind giving us an update?
No Prob! Well it has now been 55 days into flowering today! I've been taking a look at the trichomes and most of them are milky and milky translucent with sections of amber trichs. The ratio I would have to say they are at is probably 10/90 (amber/milky) So I'm going to be looking at them everyday for the next week to decide on the harvest. So considering I'm harvesting next week, I'm going to water my ladies one last time today with distilled water and then harvest them next Monday. Hopefully I can get some last final pictures up before my harvest, but I gotta get a camera first! I will try to get them as fast as possible up, bare with me everybody!Quote:

sorry everyone i couldn't get any way of getting any pictures of it but the bud came out to a little over and ounce and 1/2 off 3 buds....I proceeded to keep more of the smaller buds growing and gave them an off lighting schedule to force them to herm. Now they are producing seeds, so I should soon have some more silver haze seeds :D Saves me from buying any...But I will soon be starting a new grow log in about a week of some Irene Kush and some more Silver Haze :rastasmoke: I've started germinating them a couple days ago and checked on them today and all 5 cracked (3 silver/2 irene) so hopefully they will sprout in the next couple days! Also, I think even if I get only one female, I sha'll take a couple of clones and cross-breed the haze with the kush! Do you think it will be stable? Hopefully, cause then I can have my own strain :thumbsup:
Here are the small buds I harvested today on the plants! Enjoy! :jointsmile:
Real nice work... So are you keeping the plant and revegging it?
Well I had planned on it, but as I started looking around I've decided to order some seeds from Attitude and now I'm waiting on a response....I am getting Violator Kush, Hashberry, and they gave me 5 Thai Skunk Seeds, a feminized white widow from G13 labs, and a Purple Lady feminized from G13. Now I just have to sit and play the wait game! :wtf:
sounds good italiano! i can't wait til i can get some good genetics! i've got a few unidentified dro seeds going now. i think there are some super silver haze, some afghan kush and who knows what else.
keep up the good work my friend. let me know how attitude treats you!

from what i understand they are 100% female. the reason is because the plants are all female. they then use different stress factors (food, ph, light, chemicals etc.) to make the plant grow male "bananas". this happens because the plant believes (and is programmed genetically to) make pollen to carry on the species. since the plants are 100% female you get 100% female seeds. you won't get near as many as you normally would, but you get all female seeds none the less.
hope this helps!

Were these picked too early? I dont see that many yellow hairs...
Just curious
Far as I know the hairs mean nothing when growing, it is all about the trichomes, I had about 90/10 cloudy to amber so I harvested them. With it being like that I get more of the head high I wanted rather than a body high!
looking good silver haze is one of my favorite smokes..:rastasmoke:
You've done a swell job on them, Italiano. :thumbsup:
Thank you for your feedback! Be sure to be on the look out for my new log of some Blueberry and Skunkberry from PeakSeedsBC that should be arriving shortly!
what wattage cfl's do you use? your grow was awesome! I can't wait for your next log. great job!Quote:

I'm actually still waiting on the seeds my friends. They sent me and email last Monday the 6th and told me they got my order and apologized for taking so long to respond to my email. I sent cash to PeakSeedsBC and include the quote from there FAQ's with my payment in a card, "we're inclined to give freebies if you send cash." So, I did and included a second pick if they didn't have the blueberry I wanted originally. So, they told me in the email they included the 10 skunkberry seeds for free!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: I am getting ANCY sitting around waiting for the mail to arrive! :wtf: As soon as they show up I'm heading to the store for soil and supplies, but not before I start some germinating in peat pods!:thumbsup:Quote:
yeah, really! when can i give you some more awesome info?!
To add to that wouldn't it be keen if it got here on 4/20 :rastabanna:
sounds good italiano! let us know how peakseedsBC treats you.
maybe we should have a seedbank sub-forum or something? for reviews and the like.

I'm okay with that considering $40USD got me 13 seeds! Besides them getting crushed a bit, it was def. stealth to me and got here 2 weeks exactly after they sent me the email of order status! Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a decent price on beans!
I have now started germinating 2 blueberry seeds in peat pods to see the viability because I'm a little concerned because some were crushed that these could be *$&#^@ up! Plus it was said that these blueberry are a bit harder to care for, so I don't want to start more than I can handle!! But be out on the look out for my new grow log I will be starting in a couple days once I get my camera back!!
looking forward to it!

Wow Looking good there killa!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:Quote:

Hey great pics and great plants but have a question on pic 3 did you top them?? and how did you get them to come out in a y formation like that??? Did you top or fim?:thumbsup:Quote:

So I just topped the "top" and after the branches had surpassed the original top. Funny thing is when I topped it, it didn't die like I figured, it just lost the stem right there and new growth started in the middle of it and grew a little bud.Quote:
