My man ASD you need to get you a little 30x microscope from Radioshack (about $10) and start checking your trichomes. That's the only way to tell for sure whether they are ready to be plucked. I have a russian bag seed type that the pistils really don't change on (stay pretty white) but have nice and cloudy trichs. Different types.....
God those are really gorgeous.....great job asd! :thumbsup:
Thanks WH ;-) day 47 of flower I'm hopin for a strong finish the short one really has tight formation it feels almost like a little club if you shake the branch
I had some issues when I first started using the dehumidifier crispi but it went away once I cleaned it out and did a res change...now everything is nice and crystally with the exception of the top of Eve's cola...it was the last to stop stretching so maybe that's normal?
the babies are lookin decent same old story slow at first but they come alive in the aero...once I get the new setup it will be easier to get the garden outside setup get some veggies goin and some flowers for color the yard is so green it's annoying rofl
I've never used a lawn feed or weed killer but I got this pump spray weed killer thing I'm hoping it can deal with the lawn issue I used the whole gallon on a relatively small lawn spread some fert to green up the lawn we'll see how it turns out I wanna get everything cleaned up for the summer I've been so busy lately
Your girls are gettin big WH I'm sensing a record yield :jointsmile:
I'm so lookin forward to harvest just gotta get through the cure and it's time to light up :stoned:
Yeah i'm starting a mini-sog thing too....had the fungus spray issue and it really made us rethink how to grow. I just took a peek at the first page of your thread.....your plants looked like old socks hanging in a gym and look at them now! I'm so proud....and I didn't even grow them. :D
Once you get more time find some newbies to help....especially fun when you've made the exact same mistakes and know the answers!!:thumbsup:
I picked a tiny bud from each and dried it for a sample here's a pic of both
PH is still droppin like a brick over night...a few more days till flush I can't wait
I think tomorrow I'm gonna have to get that 30x viewer tomorrow
Good job ASD! The one on the right looks like its getting close but the one on the left looks like it has more to go (2 weeks). But WH is right, you really have to use microscope to see. Which one is the thick one?
I'm thinking about the same thing on the harvest times I'm figuring it's not the end of the world to chop the indica a little late considering it's supposed to get more couchy that way I just want to get a bit of flushing before it's done...I didn't get any headache from what I smoked but it was such a small amount it's tough to tell
The one on the left is the c99 it's the taller lankier plant it's a light green with some brown pistils forming and so far the smell is fairly weak even though it's a little over 4ft tall now
The one on the right is the indica it's pretty short and stocky lookin, darker green with orange pistils and the smell is much stronger...this is the thick one with very tight buds at just 2ft tall if ya shake the branch it feels like a little club haha
I can't wait till they're both done cause the babies are itchin for a transplant
do U got a pic of the whole set up. ya know plant & system & lights and all that.
the right bud looks great. and the left one looks good also but its gunna need about a nother 2-3 weeks. like tomasinho said.
I got me a scope today...it's a radioshack deal but the $10 model takes 2AAA's for a little light and 60x - 100x magnification with a focuser...I'll have to snip a little piece of the buds to check the trichs I see 30% clear 67% white maybe 3% colored
good call on goin to radioshack WH this makes it so much easier to know where the ladies are from finish
I'm now at 700ppm 100 ppm of maxibloom and 600 of koolbloom and I'll be starting the flush any day now
Yes, time to start the flushing!!! YEEEHAW. Yeah ASD I have a good friend...outdoor grower who's always just "guessed" and learned her lesson when I whipped out my little RS scope and showed her all her clear trichs....then showed her mine (cloudy mostly) and she smoked it and could see the difference.....big one.
Update again...!!! :)
so close to flushing after checking more thoroughly it seems that almost all are clear and very few are cloudy with just a hint of amber every once in a while so I'm thinkin the flush starts tomorrow ;-)
Indica got almost snow white on some leaves but the sativa seems to be catching up nicely can't wait
Those look gorgeous ASD! :thumbsup: Flushing will slow things down a bit and keep a close eye on your ph.....no buffers so it jumps around alot. ;)
they do look tasty even with the smallish yield I just can't wait to chop and get the next set in there now that the mistakes are mostly out of the way it should be much smoother sailin ;-)
That is one thing I like about hydro....you do the same and they'll do the same....my trick is trying to remember what "the same" is. I think everything is always the same.....probably because I'm blazed. At least that part is always the same, lol.
They really look excellent ASD...you've done a really good job. :thumbsup:
ok so my computer is kinda workin again how's everyone doin hope the summer is goin alright...we're finally getting much needed rain and everything is coming to life cause it's finally warm enough haha
umm let's see a few updates I ended up with about 2 oz when groomed and cured and I'm just starting to enjoy it so I figured I'd throw up a post :stoned:
I made a bubble cloner cause the new seedlings got big enough to chop for cloning it's a pretty simple setup and as long as it works I'll spray paint and hope it sticks for light protection the new ones picked the leaves up the next day and have looked stable since so I'm hoping they will sprout roots
the seedlings are now bout 1ft and first day of 12/12 ph is stable at about 5.5 I'm still dropping it down as far as it will go ;-) all 6 are female and have all been topped hopefully to make more of an even canopy and since all are the same indica/sativa cross they all look to be growing bout the same speed
I'll get some pictures of some finished nugs and the new ones
I'm hoping to start a few more vegetables this summer and see about more home improvements ;-)
I'll be back on more as long as my computer is working ttyl
I got a few pics left to right is 1 of each finished nugs, a pic of the next set all female etc, and a couple pics of the little 2 gal bubble cloner
I've decided to go with more smaller plants this time cause I believe last time I got to a point and they seemed to just freeze I'm assuming a 400w light can only grow em so tall haha the taller one ended up 4ft this time they are all about 1ft and showing pistils
A few goals are to get a more even canopy and not get root stunted at the end but I'm really pleased cause the dehumidified water seems to be working quite well even if I use it right out of the humidifier bucket
These ones seem to be more picky about food so they are still at 500ppm at like 5.25 ph very stable and growth has been significant since the change to bloom food
Clones are at almost 300 ppm @ 5.5 ph it's like day 2 or 3 for them and atleast 3 have roots so it's working well enough even though it still has to get painted and tweaked a bit...the holes in the top need to be made a bit bigger and possible cut the rubber air hose to make a little open clamp for holding it in place
How do those lovely nugs smoke for you ASD?
The most recent picture the taller sativa was on the left and the indica on the right
The C99 smokes so smooth ya barely feel the high in yer body, it makes my head tingle a bit and very trippy but the rest of my body is steady the smell is very pleasant and the aftertaste hints at chocolate.....
The Indica is suprisingly smooth cause it hits very hard for my tolerance red eyes and the whole 9 if I have more than a rip or 2 the smell is strong and kinda oppressive haha but only when you break it up otherwise they're both fairly mild
The c99 could have used another week probably but the indica was definately picked just right for me anyway
I'm glad I have both cause mixing like 2 parts c99 with 1 part indica makes a totally kickass bong ;-)
The buds look sweet even though they're a bit leafy cause how far the light was cause of the one stalk that shot up an extra foot this time it's filling out much more even and I'm going to be less afraid of trimming up here and there cause the plants seem to hold up fine
more of the clones are showin roots like 4 now so hopefully all will stay on track I'm excited about gettin another light fairly soon to get some veggies goin too :rasta:
That sounds sweet....yeah those damn sativas...if they didn't take so long Id love to grow some for the great head high. :)
How about a clone photo when you can?
PS I sure was impressed with the ph talk you rattled off on another thread the other day.. :thumbsup:
quick update...more computer issues "doh" I'll have some pics in a day or 2 but so far the grow is about perfect
I'm now at 925ppm and 5.5ish ph
I can't believe how quick these are growing they have grown over an inch a day and in less than 2 weeks of 12/12 they're over 2ft tall and bud sites are already well established which is so much better than last time I'm on cloud 9
I'm gonna link this thread at the bottom of my posts and start a new one cause droopy plants isn't so accurate anymore hehe
Yeah, once you have things going all of a sudden it seems easy doesn't it? And they grow away like mad!!!! Make sure you let me know where you new thread is when you start it. ;):thumbsup:
BOO ! 'Hound, ASD, et.al.....how goes it? I got about 3 weeks and I am going back live. Got some new beans I might crack for the new season, just have not deicded which ones yet. Gonna take some clones and get rooted from my moms I kept over summer for starters. Might do that next week or so.
Hope its growin green on y'alls end. My veggie garden is rockin. Been a great year so far. Mother Nature has cooperated and sprinkled some rain from time to time so thats always a good thing.
I'll be around more as Summer winds down. Looking forward to this fall/winters grow. Cya soon.
