Sorry I am not sure

I just remember someone mentioning it in a tread I responded to. My guess is somewhere in the FAQ section, Plus Stinky seems to be following this log so we may get an answer directly from her

Daihashi,

You are going to have to be paitiant. I saw you are around 45 days into flower, you may be in for another 30 days, I harvested mine in the 70s or higher days. If you really need bud I heard Stinky has a way to enjoy your grow while it finish's off. Judging by the size of your plants that should not be an issue.

Nah, I'm never hurting for bud. I make good money and I always have hookups for the reggie but never the good quality $60 an 1/8th kind of stuff. It was just smelling so fruity and good today I wanted to snip a bud. I resisted though. After busting out my microscope hoping that maybe some trichs had turned amber so I could harvest a little nug. No such luck.. all clear/barely cloudy.


I'd rather have my bud be the best it can be before I decide to take a sample.

Are you just trying to keep an even canopy? I accidentally chopped 4" off my big monster plant and I was so sad. I can't imagine doing it voluntarily.

Your grow is looking so good. It's amazing how far lighting technology has come and you guys are a part of exploring a new territory.

I'm already planning out my next grow. It should be interesting. I'll be experimenting with Stomata and Auxin manipulation.

I'll also have a secondary cabinet running a 600 watt hps. My current cabinet will be rebuilt to hold a 400 watt MH with a 7200K color bulb.

oh I have so many cool ideas for this next grow. :thumbsup:

[SnSstealth]

sweet!!! sounds like ya got the next one planed good:thumbsup:
yeah, i want the canopy a lil more even, and we did have that one plant go like a foot above the others, and its been flowering faster than the others by a good week!!! so i will take off the tops, lower the light, and harvest the rest of that plant with the rest....good reason for an early bio-assay....lol
i would LOVE to get this fucker to go hermy on a bud, lil brown bag and a penlight, talk about SERIOUS F1 vigor...lol, but it grew so fast it stretched the nodes bad....if it goes hermy, I will just top it early so it stays squat....

checked in on the plants today. For some reason during lunch I had a really good idea to drop the temps in the room where my cabinet is setup.

What was the idea? Try closing a couple of vents in the other rooms. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this earlier.

For some bizarre reason my temps have been climbing as the canopy has gotten taller. I'm not really sure why this is. The top of the canopy is about 8-10" away from the light and always has been. Previously my temps had been stable at 76 degrees or so. In the most recent week my temps are at about 80-81 degrees.

Closing a couple of vents in my apartment allowed the cabinet to get down to 75 degrees. YAY.

With all that said, my plants are looking fantastic (I think anyway).

I'm starting to question the big plant. It seems to have buds that are bit more airy compared to the smaller plants. In addition to that they are no where near being as plump. Kind of a bummer. I was really hoping to get 4+ oz off that plant but I'm not sure if I'd even get 2oz even with the mass amount of cola's it has. This is probably just me being pessimistic.

My buds aren't frosty but my god have they gotten super sticky in the last week. If I barely touch a bud and then touch my fingertips together it feels ike they just got stuck to some insect sticky paper or something. Very tacky and sticky. I'm pretty stoked.

I'm thinking of just watering with nutes each watering for the next 2-3 weeks. That's about 4-6 waterings. Reason being is that I will start flushing immediatley after that for the next week and a half. I want to try to force feed the plants as much as possible before I need to start flushing prior to harvest.

I think the plants should be able to handle about 6 normal nute feedings in a row.

Lookin real nice man.. Will be watchin this one through dude..:thumbsup:

So what did I do today.

1. Watered/fed all the plants
2. Did some pruning as many of the plants were unruly.
3. Broke a cola!!

God I'm so mad. I broke a cola that had been bent really bad earlier. It looked like it was healed so I took off the splint and it was holding the weight pretty well. I rotated the pot kind of hard and it just completely gave out.

It was barely hanging on just by the skin. I went ahead and made another splint and twisty tied it all together in several spots in hopes that it will heal together.

It wasn't a main cola but it was a pretty decent size. Would probably double in size in the next 3-4 weeks.

Let's hope that it heals. If it's wilted and falling over by tomorrow afternoon or friday morning I'm probably going to chop that cola and hang it up to dry.

I'm pretty ticked... grrrrrrrrrr

[daihashi]

by some miracle it looks like that cola is going to live on. None of the leaves are limp or wilted looking.

Let's hope it continues to hang on for dear life. As odd as it sounds I really don't want to have to dry/smoke this cola. Well I don't want to dry/smoke it prematurely.. let's put it that way. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
This has been an awesome thread, almost an nice as your crop! I really admire your patience. The broken cola would have been just the excuse I needed to start taste testing.

Best of luck in the home stretch!
