the color of the 'hairs' means nothing ... :smokin:
"thanks"
In general when the pistils start turning brown it is getting close to harvest time, maybe 2 weeks, maybe a month. It's different for different strains. It is no way however, to tell when to harvest. You need to check trichomes.
Ok, I understand. Once the plants stop growing "up," will the buds start getting bigger faster? I think they stopped stretching 2 or 3 days ago... just want to know what to expect...
You can expect nugs to fatten up until harvest, and to keep getting taller. The rate in which they grow vertically seems to slow down a week or two before harvest.
The biggest plant hasn't grow vertically in a 2 or 3 days, I just hope the buds get bigger, they're all pretty small, but they look pretty powerful. I'm not really complaining.... I'm on day 31 of flowering so I just hope they put on some weight in the next couple weeks.
Here are a some pics from a few minutes ago.
They'll probably get quite a bit bigger before harvest.
I hope so.
nice there lookin good
TMusic, I wasn't going to ask, but my curiosity is just too strong. How did you get negative rep? I understand rep is a bogus system that can be manipulated unfairly, but I'm still curious. If you prefer not to answer I completely understand. I probably shouldn't have asked anyway.
Show him some luv then Opie !!!!
So far so good , keep up the good work man .
Now be good !!!! Nomore neg. rep. LOL
Peace
Crispi :stoned:
Truthfully...I didn't even know I had it. 98% of my total posts are in this thread and my lack of experience keeps me from posting in too many others. If someone else knows, I'd like to hear it.
Anyway...went to the store today to get some nutes and I picked up a bottle of Fox Farm's Beastie Bloomz and a bottle of Cha Ching. Anyone know how well these products work? It says that they're made for mid/late flowering, I'm just hoping for a good swell in the next few weeks and the guy said these products are popular.
If you click User CP in the navigation toward the top you will see your recent rep messages and who gave them to you.Quote:

funny...rep points, I get negative ones for no reason some times. Or the comment will say good job with the grow neg rep....blah.
Also it urks me a bit that I try and help people with useful information and another person who doesn't post anything useful will have tons of rep.
Yep, like I mentioned it's a bogus system. It's just supposed to be more for fun than to show what a good weed farmer a guy is. Cyclonite, here's a little for you too.
thats why i turned mine off to much bsQuote:

What's up guys. Been a little busy at work and blah blah blah.
First, thank you all, again, for the invaluable advice that you've given me so far. I don;t know what these plants would look like without it.
[attachment=o164940] a lil fuzzy, but you get the idea
So, as for the plants. Today is day 50 of flowering. I chopped one of them about a week ago. She turned out to be a raging hermaphrodite. So I'm down to three. The 1 big mango and 2 purp.
I'm still using Technaflora nutes, the "new" recipe. I've also started using FoxFarm's Beastie Bloomz (for 1 week) then switched to ChaChing last week.
Here's the mango. The first pic is the top of the plant. The second pic is the top bud of the lowest branch. I've been reading what I could find about this mango strain, says somewhere that its a 10-12 week floweing plant. If that's true, I have a long way to go. But I guess I understand why that could be. It took about 2 weeks to show real signs of flowers, then it stretched about 10 inches over the weeks 3-4 and most of 5. Now its just filling out. Trichs are almost all clear still, cloudy in some spots, maybe 5%.
[attachment=o164941][attachment=o164942]
Here are the other two. They're still about 1/4 the size of the mango, but I'm assuming that they'll finish much sooner. The one on the right has some scars of natural selection. Since I'm concentrating on the mango, and blasting them with 1500-1600ppm, I decided I'm not going to adjust the levels to accomodate the smaller plants, I burned them for sure. Trich's on these are almost all cloudy, I saw 1 or 2 amber in my field of vision with the 30X handheld microscope, so less than 1%.
[attachment=o164943][attachment=o164944]
The clones are doing well too. I'm going to experiment a little with the mango clones. Since I already know what this plant likes to do if left untrained, I want to know what else it likes too. A couple weeks ago I fimmed 1 of them, yesterday I started LST on one, and I havent decided what to do with the 3rd one yet. Any suggestions?
Hope all is well in everyone's garden. Leave me some input, thanks again.

Damn TMusic, he negged you for telling him to spark a fatty? All the + Rep for ya that I can give!!! If they can't handle the heat, why the fuck are they even in the kitchen???Quote:

Oh golly gee wiz and holy poopiness, TMusic. Those are some nice healthy-looking plants, complete with big gobs of dankish sugar buds. Thanks for the update. I'll bet you that mango is going to be some damn nice smoke. Looking forward to harvest pictures and smoking reports, if any.
Suggestions? Can't think of many except that I suggest you keep up the good work, get as much light as possible to the bud sites, consider using a screen to maximize space and light, and invite me over to help with the harvest. All I ask in return for helping with the harvest is to keep any finger hash I end up with on my hands. Oh wait, I was going to ask if I misunderstood you, or did you say that you were FIMing/topping during flowering. If so, this is generally a bad idea. For one thing, topping sometimes shocks the plant a little, and ends up slowing down the growth, or even completely stopping it for a week or two. Your plants won't flower a week or two longer to make up for it, so you end up with decreased yield.
I just bought the 3 part series, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching. There goes a quick $66, but I'm assuming it will last quite awhile, and be very beneficial to the bud and resin production. Haven't started flowering yet, but looking forward to seeing the results. I was wondering if you have any advice or suggestions about using these, before a virgin bloom additive adder starts the regime. Anything you can think of, no matter how seemingly insignificant.
Ah you know people, the biggest waste of carbon on this planet... A bunch of friggen morons IMO. Present company excluded of course.Quote:

The flowering plants areen't fimmed or topped, they're just growing untrained. I was refer-ing to the clones.
so i think I'm going to start flushing soon. Do I do it with ph water or do I keep up with anything that I'm currently feeding them. I have to keep in mind that the mango might have 3 weeks left so can start cutting anything early?
Once you start flushing you should not be feeding them anything, with the possible exception of a flushing agent, which is basically sugar water. I suppose you could flush the mango for 2 weeks and the others for 1, or something like that.
Let's play a game...its called, "What's Wrong With This Picture?"
[attachment=o165437]
Here's one more in case the 1st one didn't do it for you...[attachment=o165438]
OK, you win the game, at least the one between you and I. I didn't see anything much wrong. Slight leaf curl up, slight nute burn on the tips, not a biggie. Can't be certain, but the trichs don't look overly amber. It's a little dark, too much Nitrogen?
I give. About the only thing I see wrong with it is that all that yummy sugar is not dried, cured, and in my bowl.
Come on...
GET IN MY BOWL.
Opie, I hope you live close cuz that shit needs to be in my bowl... damn looks nice! I'll take white sugar 'sted of brown sugar..... in this case.
i see nothin wrong with it better kepp an eye on the trichs as it looks very close if not ready.and tips burnt is no prob and the leafs will start to turn brown as it will start using up the nitrogen in the leafs are u flushing them yet if not id say u should start soon looks great
Its a hermie!!![attachment=o165530]
I chopped this bud last night.... uhhh... 36 hours ago (I work graveyard) and its been hanging, hence the leaf curl up...it was the most distal bud on one of the inside branches. The main top bud has one in the middle too.
I'm heartbroken...
Darn, I saw that spot and was going to say "hermie?" It just kind of looks like more pistils might be coming up there, so I didn't want to sound too stupid and didn't say it. Are you sure?
