Hi guys

This is my 3rd grow, i'm growing indoor, inside a clothing closet not used anymore.

I wanted to try reducing the veg cycle as much as possible, to experiment and also cuz i don't have much room to work with and honestly i also think in terms of light resources could be way better, with this reason i've also planted 2 plant in 1 9gallon pot.

Currently they are through 2 weeks of Veg and 8 weeks of flower.

What're your overall thoughts on this grow?
I was wondering if it would be about time to start flushing? (still have some doubts when to start)

Thanks in advance!!

Flushing not yet buddy

You got a loupe ?

So you can see trichromes clear cloudy or amber . Also consider is it sativa dominate or Indica for harvest . In my experience of course .

Hi! thanks for the words.

She's predominantly Indica, could you elaborate on the difference regarding the harvest?
How many weeks you think this should go still ?

No lupe unfortunately.

 

[KingJoe83]

I’d say at least few weeks unless fast finisher

Who is the breeder best to google it flower time how many days ..

But let me see brb

It allows air flow to come up form
Underneathe the pot allowing better and mor evenly air flow into medium... this allows your medium to dry out faster I’ve noticed in MY experience. Therefore you could essentially feed it less bit more often .

More food more growth but don’t over due the more you give and more frequently the higher chance of burning tips or access so becareful and remember the last two weeks cannbis plants really only need calcium and potassium. So give it what it needs .

Environment is more important then nutrients to me.

Now soil can be different but I would I liek to add bit of perlite to say pro mix hp and soem coco as well next time outdoor . Cool thing about coco is more forgiving you mess up the next day you flush and reset . Soil there is delay as soil is more compact and holds moisture greatly therefore it comes to learning how to water .
But your still doing amazing seriously thanks for sharing and asking us here

Check out our sponsors here on mag and support the movement .

Or Amazon too maybe for loupe I recommend macro lense for camera if have decent phone and or 60-120 magnifying to see those trichromes as if if were 20/20 vision

Thank you for the prompt feedback,

will look into that elevator as that was one of the things i thought could be behind a low yield, not being able to feed more often, but still as nuts can take some time to be absorb i was not worried too much idk.

i'll check the link you sent for more info for sure, much appreciated.

 

[KingJoe83]

No problem

Hi guys,

well i found a decent camera and took some not so decent photos but i blv something can be seen in terms of amber trichomes, although i rly didn't manage to focus on the middle of the bud, if i zoom in i can seem some amber trichomes, but am definitely open to your opinions even wild ones



i almost sure i should still wait as the amount of white vs brown pistils is not even 50/50 the overall look and previous advice from Kingjoe.

cheers

week 9 flower

 

[KingJoe83]

Getting closer keep an eye on those trichromes

 

[cuzao]

week 10ish - 3 photos of each.
still not quite there i think, still poor photos though.
started only water (?)
the second one is foxtailing due to being closer to the light as it is taller and they're both on the same pot.
