Hey lookin' pretty tight, literally! Can't wait to see what you come up with on this round! I don't know enough to give you any advice on the yellowing. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it though. Trust your instincts, you are looking good. I'm gonna stay tuned!
Funny avatar BTW. LOL
Thanks for the encouragement... I can use it!
Another late night for ya, eh?
You know it! I should be a peach tomorrow, waiting to hear about the Lynch sentencing. Wouldn't you know, at that time, I will have no electronic communications, I won't find out till later in the afternoon. Just got done checking in on my girls. They are at day 2. They have come a long ways but still have so far to go. Hang in there, I know you are in the same boat as I! It's no fun, but in the end, it's so damn rewarding to smoke your own! You know this as well as me though. Take it easy!:jointsmile:Quote:

I just read through your whole log and as I might say they are coming out BEAUTIFUL! Keep up the good work! Whatever your doing seems to work out for you just fine, don't change a thing!
It's either over-water..or N def. You know some plant's do that during flower.At this point your not trippin.
Look's great bro.You've done a fine job.
Dive:stoned:
Hey, thanks everyone for the rep and encouragement!
Dive, I have been thinking the same, what's confusing me is that I have done everything exactly the same for both plants, but I guess they have different needs. I'm gonna see what happens if I switch my watering cycle to just twice a week. Now, the yellowing parts are turning purple... I'm thinking also that it could be cool temps, as sometimes I open the window next to the closet and the temps get pretty cool. But even the one that is yellowing has healthy "tops", or at least what the plant thinks is the top. I noticed similar things last grow also, but it came a little later. Yeah, best to stop worrying about it, but kinda hard when I don't have anything to relax with :mad: .... Oh well, soon...:jointsmile:
More leaves are turning yellow, and some are a little brownish/purplish, I'm thinking it's too close to the light. I think I'm gonna lower the plant a little, since my light is fixed in position. Some pics...
More pics...
Couple more...
Wow, Impressive my next grow im doing SOG style :rastasmoke:
Plants look very healthy. keep up the good work. cant wait to see the finished product.:rastasmoke:
very nice indeed finn, coming along nicely.... i bet you will enjoy smoking them :))
looking at your plants coming so nicely with LST i've decided to do the same with mine.. once I get all the clones done :( sigh another month, hehe.
Take care man,
:thumbsup:
Peace,
Denial
Yep, looking keen, Finn!
Plants looking good Bigtops, What are you looking/hoping to pull off them 2..When all said and over..?:jointsmile:
~One~:rastasmoke:
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
My original goal was 100g, but it's hard to say. I think it'll be somewhere between 80-100g dried in the end :jointsmile:Quote:

I know you already have a lot going on in your closet but maybe you could get another inline fan and use your existing one for room ventilation and another for pulling the heat off of your lighting? You could take the output from each and use a Y adaptor to exit the airflow together out of your existing ventilation outlet. This would pull the heat off of the light with more efficiency and your charcoal ventilation will be more effective as well.
One thing that helped me when I did a closet grow a few years ago is I used 6" (16.5cm) PVC for the ductwork and it really works great. There is much less drag than flexible duct work even when you use PVC elbows to re-direct the flow. PVC fits tightly together without cement and it is easy to cut to custom lengths.
I look forward to seeing your girls finish up... then comes the Trainwreck!
Thanks dude!
Yes, I've been thinking the same thing. I've been opening my window next to the closet and the temps have mostly been 23-27 lately. I also lowered the plants 1.5cm (changed to a slightly lower bucket to catch run-off) and turned them. The reason I don't think it's heat burn is because it's happening to leaves that are not directly underneath the light also. Very strange, because its mostly in one area and that would imply a hot spot... The fact that the buds are still growing doesn't worry me too much. What I'm starting to think is either over-watering or my nutrients/soil combination is missing some kinds of nutrients.
I like the ideas about the PVC, but it just won't fit this time. I've been planning for my next grow, whenever that will be, to have a bigger grow space so I can fit everything better. I'll have to check out PVC for tubing on my next grow.
Wish I could buy another fan, but the wife's not too keen on buying any more things since we will be leaving the country for about half a year, and my projects will be on hiatus :(... hopefully we will be going to holland though :jointsmile:
Thanks for stopping by, I liked the ideas...:thumbsup:
Oh yeah, flushed last monday with 30L water, and just fed them again today for the first time since. I think I will change my watering schedule a little, as this could be another reason for the yellowing. Before I was giving them 2L of water (or water with nutes) every three days, with a water, nutes, nutes schedule. Starting today I will try 1.5L twice a week, with my canna terra flores 2-2-4 on one day and plagron top activator 0-9-10 the other. I'll do this until week 7, then flush, and water if needed for the remaining 1-2 weeks. We'll see what happens...
Are they a slight shade of blue? They look DELICIOUS!:thumbsup: That is some finely cared for and grown herb. I must know how the smoke is when you're all done. I might try a blue strain next time around like Dutch Passion Blueberry or perhaps this.:D Keep on doin' what yer doin'!:hippy::stoned:Quote:

I've been told lots of things, light bleaching, plants using the nutes out of leaves, not enough lighting lower down the plants. But my buds are growing excellently so i haven't let it bother me? not a very helpful comment haha but may give you slight piece of mind..
Peace :hippy: bio
Thanks 420! Yeah last time they started turning purple around the edges of the leaves, and it's the same thing this time. I really love this strain, it's the best of both worlds: Really nice head-high, a little bit of couch-lock, but it flowers in 8-9 weeks... Last time I chopped at about day 60 if I remember correctly.Quote:

I know it's not good to take off leaves, but I had so many leaves stacked one on top of the other underneath the screen... If I try this again, I will pinch off the new growth sites under the screen, but I won't cut the leaves off unless they become a problem.Quote:

Wow Finn, I've been away and return to see those beautiful buds!! Looks great!! Way I see it, If I check temps, ph, etc and everything is ok, then any leaf yellowing is normal and not an issue. Especially towards the end of flower in a low nitrogen scenario. It happens to some of my plants worse than others, and since I am basically working off 2 plants genetics(2 original moms cloned and re-cloned) then it can't be a genetic variation. Oh well, as long as it is still alive and the buds keep finishing who cares? Later Ill post some pics of my scrog....she is at day 43 and looks pretty fierce!! :jointsmile:
Welcome back!
Thanks for stopping back in :)...
Get some pics up for sure:thumbsup:
Tops them buds lookin great man, I hope my grow just turns out to be half as good looking as yours, and it smokes decent:baggy::S5::joint1:
~One~
Thanks Killer!
Here's another update. 6 weeks of flowering until now, and they are really fattening up. Most of the bigger nugs are around the edges, then a lot of small nugs and popcorn in the middle. You can see from the pictures taken from up top that about 1/4 is looking really shitty, the rest is ok though. Still hoping for about 80 grams total dried yield, I can't see getting 100 :(... we'll just have to see.
Changed my watering schedule like I said. Fed her on Monday with the Canna Nutes (6ml per liter of water), about 1.5L for each plant. Then yesterday (Friday) I gave them the Plagron Top Activator, (1 ml per liter of water), and again 1.5L for each plant. Couple more weeks like that and I can probably start to flush.
Few more pics :jointsmile:
Lookin' saucey man! Really pretty colors. I hope you yield more than that, but you may be able to stretch yours farther than I would. 88 grams lasted me all of 2 months LOl, but I did eat alot of it too. Gave some away, smoked alot, ah, the good ol' days. No matter the yeild no one can take away the fact that you made it. That's worth it's weight in gold! Not to mention the fact that you can do it again, and again....
Nice work!
Thanks Kush! I'm lucky/unlucky in the fact that I don't have any friends here where I live... so only about 5 grams got smoked by someone else last time :jointsmile:Quote:

Lookin good BigTops keep up the good work!
Thank you ST0N3Rmike!
It's been almost 7 weeks of flowering today, so I flushed very thoroughly, somewhere between 2-3x the size of my containers. I'm hoping to harvest in about a week or two, depending on how they look. I might chop one of them in a week, and the other one the following week.
One of them is looking very nice still, a little nute burn on it's tips but nothing to worry about. The other one, frankly, looks like ass... some leaves are turning red, and so are some of the stems. I'm guessing more severe nute burn in combination with the other problems it's been having. It's about 80% the size of the healthier one, so I'm losing some yield but I'm not going to cry about it. I've learned that no matter how similarly you treat two plants, they can have very different needs. Hopefully if this comes up again, I will know how to deal with it early on.
Took a bunch of pics today also :jointsmile:
Here's more... You can see the red stems and leaves in the first pic. Next ones you can compare between the healthy and nute burnt nugs...
Some more pics, just some of the bigger buds :jointsmile:
Look's great,you've done a cool grow.They look ready to go,flush'em an hang'em.
Dive:stoned:
Well, they are colorful! I am sure they will be great nonetheless! So that's weird that 1 of them did that and one didn't? What gives? Any theories? It'll be interesting to compare the yield and smoke reports between the 2. I mean for you to compare LOL! So happy to see you almost done! Good for you! And even if the 1 doesn't smoke as well as you would like, there's always hash! Or eating it!:D
You should try to re-veg your best plant and veg it back out, cut clones, and do it again!:jointsmile:
Just some pics I found on the internet.:thumbsup:
Thanks Dive :jointsmile:
And very nice looking girls you have...ahem, found there Kush! :greenthumb: Looks like you...ahem they will have a very chill summer :smokin:
My theory for the problems with the one: too much water/nutes too often. I think it didn't drain as well as the other, combined with all the nutes I was putting in. Couldn't get a good ph reading either with my shitty dropper tests, so I can't rule that out either... Temps were a little on the high side, but within range, so that could be something also.
I would love to re-veg the good one, but I'm going to be on a hiatus from growing for a while :( Gotta move out in June, and I am trying to find an internship position in Amsterdam for the fall, so I might try to grow something while I'm there, if I'm not too baked :stoned:
I'm already making plans for my next grow, wherever and whenever it will be. I'm going to buy a lot of perlite once I find it (might have to order it from a store here in Southern Finland), get another inline fan so I can cool my cooltube separately, get a good ph pen, and build a bigger grow area (thinking 1m x 1m x 2m) to get better use of my hps. Also been thinking about a DWC setup, but the initial costs for supplies, nutes and meters is a little discouraging.
Happy growing everyone :)
good luck! shit! sounds like a good summer for you!Quote:

Funny you mention the coco... been reading up on that a lot today :) Sounds like something to experiment with. Thought about using plain coco in one, and coco/soil mix in another, and see which one I like more... not really diggin' the soil route ATM :jointsmile:
