Good to finally be able to post. This is my first grow which seems to be going fairly well so far, well, except for the fact that I'm lacking a proper grow light. (Yes, I'm aware that's quite the problem as I'm smoking a joint to ease the stress.) :stoned: I've done quite a bit of reading, and if you take any time out of your schedule to give me advice I would be more than Rating: 5

Don't trash the males.. Make cannabutter out of them, and then make some cake

LOL, too late for that. They've been killed via dehydration, though I still have them in the garage..dead..

The big plant is now showing a phosphorus deficiency due to some of the leaves purpling. Granted I've only flushed it once I'm not quite sure what to do.

Do I let all of the growth just die due to a deficiency?
Do I give my plant JUST that one nutrient?
Do I give it a good fertilizing one last time?

I'll give some more information on the trichomes in a minute, I may have to bust out my old microscope and trim a leaf with some trichomes on it.
If I had to give you a percentage on the hairs on each bud turning brown, I'd say at max 10-15%.

Help! XD

when you stick finger into soil and it's dry 4-6 inch depth fully water your plant soke! then should be a every other day water cycle. Yes plants got a K2O and p2O5 deffency you should ither goto a hydroponics shop and get a 0-5-4 / or goto a garden store and look around the flowers and tomatos section and look on the nutrishion get something with some K2O and P2O5 and lil MG should be good. For Soil give it nutrishion then wait a week the other water time just use normal water i'd give it another light treatment after that week of normal water see how shes doing then.

Thanks for the reply Krogith!

The only thing I'm worried about, is she may be ready for harvest very soon and I don't want to be smoking any nutrients.

I feel I'm cutting it close as it is, she'll be 7 weeks into flowering tomorrow.

Paranoia? Possibly. xD

Should I go ahead and just give her a last fertilizing with something higher in potassium and phosphorus and then flush for 2 weeks and yank her out?

[Krogith]

yeah man sorry i didn't sign onto boards long time ago yeah you sound like you got it figed shit out, the 2 week opure flush befor harvest is key to... now that your close to the end it's up to you if you got 3 weeks you think do it man blast em and flush 2 weeks but if shes done 80%+ brown hairs then shes done ya know:smokin: if last pic is latest than man more time maybe like 5 weeks would be good clear her up and buco the buds all depends on hair %

[The Grim Reefer]

Awesome, thanks for the info Krog - that's just what I needed to hear.

I'll pick up some Maxicrop today and mix it with my Alaskan and the nute balance should be perfect, I'll fert her for another week or so and then starve her brains out.

Those pics are just a few days old. How many more weeks would you say?

You've been a great help bro! thanks again

[Krogith]

i'd need to see a good close shot of a bud tell you my guesstimte on how much longer but thats a 4-5' plant? im guess about 5 more weeks i would like i said do a Feed and water next 7 day ( when shes dry) FEED and then do a week water see where shes at if you wana harvest then do one more week water if not and shes still putting out new hairs then shes wants to grow and get feed Again! Your god indoors:smokin:




This plant is ready... PS: best background for where you Grow is FLAT WHITE it reflects the best light and a flat surface will disperse it evenly no hot spots. Milar/plastic sheets or 8 layers flat/satin paint.

Time for a pic update!

You'll notice in the following pics how all 3 pots are laid almost all the way on their side, I've had some interesting results so far.

Does cola growth on the side branches slow the main cola growth at all?

(say the main cola and a cola on a branch are the same distance from the light)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Comments appreciated as always.

Here come the barrage of pics!
