1st Time Grow Jack Diesel Sativa Indoor CCOB w LST Hydro

[cherryhaze]

Got my computer back! It's been a bad timr for technology here with a useless PH pen, but it's fixed and the PH sways have stopped, so the yellowing of the leaves is getting better and nice healthy green returning. I took some pics, will upload in a few batches. Still a small issue w airflow so really going to have to get the air in fan. No point trying to go budget at this stage. There are around 15-20 large colas on each plant all filling out well. The funny little phenotype plant is still small and not flowering as fast as the others so she will have to be harvested at least a week after the others. No problems to report though.

Thanks dude, I am not concerned - I have been 9 days w o a PH pen so the PH has been far from perfect and resulted in yellow leaves but they are improving now the ph is balanced. I am only feeding hesi hydro grow schedule, not adding anything. YAY can't wait to SMOKE it... and bake!

Just took off about 3 fan leaves on each plant as they were seriously blocking light to bud. My hands are so sticky now and stink! Fed 3/4 strength nutes ph 6.1 and falling naturally and ec 1.4

Glad to hear your ph pen issue is fixed. And your computer.

When to start the flush? I listen to #freeweed with Danny Danko over at High Times, and he says to start the flush 2 weeks before buds are ready, by first reducing the amount of nutes slowly as to not shock the plants. By our calculations this will be the 7th Jan, I am wondering what your process for flushing is?

Today is day 1 of week 5 of flower. Tent is too small and we have decided to buy another tent! Cannot wait, will be a while and we will sell this one I guess. Not sure how that will work! Toying with the idea of two wilma big 4 systems together in same tent so we can grow 2 strains at the same time which has it's obvious issues. Or I suppose buy another 400w system, not for a factory grow but simply for more than one strain at a time. Decisions! All I know for sure is we are growing a kick arse indica next!

good work!! looking good!!
as for me i start the flush at around 2 weeks also, i use unsulfured blackstrap molasses and ph corrected water
i have always withheld nutes at this time
i am not afraid to stress the girls a little at this late time in the journey. if they get a bit stressed what will they do?
put out more resin? hah that's good
i am no expert but that is my story until an elder tells me different
take care and good luck

Yuyo is that in a hydro system or in soil/coco? I fear in Hydro one could block the pipes? I am planning to start a 2 wk flush w 1/2 nutes, followed by 1/4 and then a final week of nothing. Just googled the molasses and it's the stuff I use to bake! LOL I assumed it was specialist for plants

Hey my friend looking bloody awesome in here! Congrats so far, as damn you have some great buds!

 

[yuyo]

Thanks dude - it's an amazing feeling when hard work and a shi*e load of reading up comes to plan. Still a long way left, got to get the timing right on the harvest and then the part I think most difficult is the dry and cure, mainly the cure. They do have a little something wrong, there is maybe a deficiency but they don't seem to be complaining. The tent is way too small for these 4 plants! It's going to last for ages, long gone are the days of an oz a wk now I am more of a teenth a wk kind of girl. I wonder if that'll change!

I think Sativa and LST are a match made in heaven so it'll be very interesting to see how Bubba Kush handles LST. What's your exp of Indica and LST?

Hi Cherryhaze, Reps for the beautiful buds! Your girls are so far into flowering that those yellowing leaves are normal.

Oh and you will love the curing process- Just get a cigar hygrometer and a few of those Boveda 62% humidity packs so you can stick one in each jar. Burping the jars is something to forward to as the aroma changes and sweetenens on a daily basis- yum! The potency increases too.
Happy growing!

Thanks ladycake - can't actually wait now!

Hello lovely people, here are some shots of day 2 wk 5 of flower. Showing some nute burn - my bad. Also can see the yellowing of leaves which I hope to funk is normal. Scared of toxicity esp with nute burn showing. Can you spot the lego man? Made me chuckle, as usual couldn't find a lighter. My camera was not happy w my rushed shoot but you can still make him out.
