Thanks man! Yea Im definetely gonna do that 2 weeks before harvest flush. Im so excited since this is my first grow ever, I will be patient and not chop it too early.

And no sign of Nanners from the previous extra light mishaps.

Day 42 Flowering

6 weeks into Flowering already, time just passes. So I was looking at the flowering times for each strain and:

White Widow: 8 weeks
Blue Cheese: 8-10 weeks

So im kinda close now being at 6 weeks + 2 week flush. Im looking for a head high from the weed. Should I look for a certain cloudiness or amber in the trichomes and what percentage?


So today I had to water them with regular water only since they looked like this:

I was wondering why the fuck did the Humidity drop to 16% constant after the lights came on. I was in awe

Then after a couple of hours, they bounced back very nicely.

Really gorgeous plants, I love the closet grow too. You're really thorough, I am going to tag along to see how they finish up

 

[ksmirov]

Thanks Cherry, welcome aboard!

Gorgeous plants ksmirov!
You put a lot of attention and love into them!

I've read this journal from page one and you have
Done an outstanding job thus far!

Can't wait to see the end result!

 

[Light Addict]

looking good. can we get a close up of the pistils soon? the pistils really speak a lot of words to me.

you may be able to do plain water till the end soon. are the pistils browning out and pulling back yet? after the first sign of that happening (more than just a little bit) they usually take about 3 more weeks.

the plant goes through spurts of growing pistils, letting them brown out, growing pistils, letting em brown out. it's the final swell. after the final swell, there will be no more spruts of pistil growth and you should be checking trichs daily.

Hey b.real, I got some pics for you. Ive been monitoring the pistils of all 3 plants and they started like a few days ago to brown very very little but i dont feel like its pulling back in yet.

And I just checked the trichomes on all three plants, and they still look clear.

[Light Addict]

Okies, yea I didn't think they were ready to for the 2 week flush. Should I flush them 3 x their pot size with water on the for the 2 week before harvest flush?

And yea that Blue Cheese top with the many pistils is the mutant double bud.

we love them closeups, awesome!

Thanks bro, they do look pretty sexy!

Day 45 Flowering

Gave her a nute watering today!

Nute Watering FF Week 11 Schedule (100% strength in 4 gallons of water):

Big Bloom - 4 tbl
Tiger Bloom - 2.66 tbl
Cha Ching - 1 tsp
Cal Mag - 2 tbl
Molasses - 4 tbl

I took the PH runoff from all three and looking like the Dolomite Lime I added at last week of veg has been working well:

WW Sexy: 6.5
WW No Sexy: 6.1
Blue Cheese: 6.5

The Buds are getting much bigger now, I LOVE THEM. Kinda like hairy corndogs.

I think maybe 1.5 more weeks for regular feeding and ill lower the nute strength down to 50% next feeding. Then after the 1.5 weeks more or less Ill do the 2 week pre harvest flush and see how it goes.

your plants are looking good. you need a 30x jewelers loupe to see the trichomes and judge when to harvest. most people harvest at 5%-30% amber trichomes. harvest at 5%-15% amber trichomes for a "head high" energetic effect and harvest at 30%-50% amber trichomes for a "body stone" sedative effect strain dependent.

Flowering Day 48

your plants are looking good. you need a 30x jewelers loupe to see the trichomes and judge when to harvest. most people harvest at 5%-30% amber trichomes. harvest at 5%-15% amber trichomes for a "head high" energetic effect and harvest at 30%-50% amber trichomes for a "body stone" sedative effect strain dependent.

Thanks King, the trichomes still look about 90% clear and 10% cloudy. But I should prepare that 2 week preharvest flush soon right?

I was thinking in 2 days one more nute feed at 50% and then 3 days after that Ill flush 45 gallons between 3 of them.

Here's some updated pics of them taken a few hours ago.

And also the White Widow No Sexy's buds look much bigger and denser then the White Widow Sexy buds. I think its because there are more fan leaves on the No Sexy plant.

I got some stuff online today and yes u can laugh at the GH Ph calibration liquid, being so late in the game. Also got a AWS scale and 500gram calibration weight and a RAW joint roller. Im a newbie, not even sure how to roll one so i thought this might make it easier.

it's probably heavier because of there being more leaves/solar panels.

I would start flushing soon. your buds already look nice and fat they should have 1-2 more growth spurts, and that should pull the food from the fan leaves.

good work. I bet they smell incredible when you touch them.

Yea B.Real, definetely got heavier with the extra fan leaves. I should have gotten more of the popcorn buds but they kinda grew on me. I say I took off about 20% up of the popcorn buds from the soil.

Definetely planning on flushing in about 3 days, I just fed her last Nute Watering. Hopefully it gets really Phat!

I can def smell them when I open the door, but close up it smells like my dads old underwear lol!



Gave her last nute watering today around 3:00 am! In 3 days time, gonna flush them with 45 Gallons of regular PH water!

Nute Watering FF Week 12 Schedule (50% strength in 3 gallons of water):

Big Bloom - 1.5 tbl
Tiger Bloom - 1 tbl
Cha Ching - .4 tsp
Molasses - 1.5 tbl

your plants look amazing. lollipopping is a great technique to send more energy to the tops. I want to see these suckers yellow out before harvest so you have some smooth smoke. good work and thanks for more pictures of the bushes
