So same top/bud/cola....

February 8th:

February 27th:

hoping to harvest between Mar. 19- 26. Multi strain so should be fun!

 

[StoneOtter]

Fantastic growth in the short time Opar!

 

[Opar]

I may have to order some more yo-yo’s...

 

[StoneOtter]

We're gonna need a bigger boat!

 

[Opar]

So what you guys think by the trichomes? Ready for harvest?

Still early at 46, but seems to be ambering up .... and I believe it’s calyx not sugar leaf..... going to look for a bud diagram now

 

[StoneOtter]

Could be Opar. Looks like plenty of amber if it was me. Your call.

 

[Silverfox125]

I’d wait just a bit longer. The sugar leaves turn a little faster than the flower.

just my 2 cents. You’re Ready whenever

 

[Backlipslide]

That’s a fantastic looking amount of amber. I would give it a bit longer though. Your call 100% though!

I’d say your in the mixed category

 

[Opar]

Thanks guys, those trichs are looking to me like time to harvest but the number of days in flower is telling me to hold on, I’ll post a pic of the plant and bud tomorrow... really appreciate you guys helping me with your insights, really helps my comfort level making the decision. Thank you @stoneotter, @Silverfox125 and @Backlipslide.

 

[Opar]

Definitely too small a pot, poor plant is looking haggard....

Lots of Amber, is that sugar leaf or calyx?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/insights.

 

[StoneOtter]

I see a fantastic plant with great big shimmering buds growing her fate out. Just sayin

 

[Backlipslide]

Almost there my friend! Lots of amber. If the shots are from the main part of the cola. I’d say you’ve got a winner! Push her another week tops. I mean, if your into that!

Thanks stoneotter! Initially I had tried to LST her around the rim of the container, then gave up and let her lift up, hence the odd branch structure you see below her. Not sure about the diameter of the stems on some of those colas, but I have a decent harvest ahead, so just happy to gain the experience of a different training technique, even if I aborted it early...

Thanks BLS! I think I heard coco finished a little quicker than soil, not sure if there is any truth to that, but tomorrow will be 49 days since flip. Trichomes are telling me to cut her down, but pistils and day count are telling me to let her go... I think I will wait until mid-week next, and chop then.... I’d hate to rob her of some weight... I’ll check her trichs daily....

I guess we’ll see how it goes, I hope I don’t lose weight or have all the trichs turn amber!!

 

[Backlipslide]

Yeah man, I think day 56 might be the chicken dinner!

 

[Opar]

Well, still waiting... was hoping to see some bud swell... seems stalled almost... I guess the next week or so will tell... I upped my nute strength, with no ill effect, hoping that will help with adding some weight

 

[Sparkey224]

Im the same way Opar. At this point, days are like weeks..lol..but its worth the wait. Great job buddy with your plants. They look fantastic

 

[Opar]

Day 54, one strain is supposed to be I. The window in 2 days but even in DWC seems to be taking time... the average days of most of my strains is around 65.
Think my bud will fatten? Anything I can do to help it along?

I’m feeding floranova grow with koolbloom supplement and even some pk13/14, silica and floralicious... combined ppm in the 1400-1600 range .... no real burn or issues.... maybe these genetics don’t get super fat?
Sapphire OG, Three Blue Kings, Mandarin Cookies, The New.... a lot of og Kush based strains....

Thanks Sparkey! I noticed, from my first grow, I chopped one of my bubba Kush 2.0’s 9 days before the other, and the later one was much heavier/denser. I’m going to error on the side of too long this time... so hard to do!!!

Have you flushed it? A flush will remove salts from the root area and when you feed it right after, the flush will make nutes more available to the plant. Folks do it around 2 weeks before the end. Maybe she's got a salt buildup?
