Tons of fresh white pistols I can see.
Is she starting to dank up?
Has stretching of plant stopped ?
Is trich production increasing ?
Do you have a magnifying glass ?
My guess with out that extra info just based on bud size and pistols would be early floral maturation and looks like buds still have couple weeks to go
Ya she starting to smell real nice and im pretty sure the stretching is done
And trich production has deffently increased and no magnifying glass lol thanks for the fast reply this is my very first time lol

Aye that's all good you are most definitely in early floral maturation.
Do you know how many weeks in ?
If stretching has stopped buds should begin to put on weight and more great smells should come with it along w the trichs.
Also try grabbing your self a magnifying glass of about 60-120x because this allows you to see the head of your trichome and based of the colour of head you can know when plants r to be pulled down.

Hows the progress look lol

Progress is looking great
That purple is soooooooooo sexy
I got a good feeling that plant will fatten up fast judging on bud development
Are they planted in the ground or in pots ?

They are in the ground lol and ya hopfully they do fatten up lol this being my first grow im very excited
 
That's the idea yes but it's an airborne mold so be careful not to reintroduce spores from your hands tools etc.

Thanks, I only had a couple small plants, not expecting s great yield. Just did a. Hop and quick trim. Was able to dip it all in a 5 gallon bucket at the same time, so hopefully I got all the spores. Only problem now is I have to cure it in my shed (wife won't allow the stank inside) and the next 4 days are supposed to be in the 80s for humidity. After that it's going to even out in the 5os and 60s so that should be a little better.

I suggest you leave em in the ground for quite some time or until the weather doesn't allow u to do so
Just get them as fat as you possibly can there's no telling how huge of a harvest you can get when you plant in Mother Earth her self you can just keep growing and growing

Ya the weather is really good right now so hopfully they get a bit bigger
 
Any ideas how my plants are pale but have clawing tips?

I thought Nitrogen toxicity led to dark green leaves..?

Short Backstory

Soil grow 70:30 soil:perlite

pH of feed was 7 until a few days ago
Runoff pH was about 7.9

Added 100% lemon juice to lower pH to 6.1 recently
Runoff pH was 7.3

Had a few comments on here that my leaves were pale and might have nitrogen deficiency so I added nitrogen to my last feed (pH still at 6.1)

Hi J, don't know about the paleness issue, but the droopyness might be an overwatering issue. Do they dry out between waterings?


.

They do dry out about 1-2 inches before I water again.
 
When my pen was brand new, it measured my pH 4.0 solution to be 4.4. So calibration was really needed. An error of 0.4 can be quite dramatic in hydro

So anybody have anything for me .in all honestly just extremely lazy to wait for buffers in mail and wanna get to the growing already

I will get on to calibration.
Gonna have to postpone germination :(

That is more info than I could of ever dreamed of
Thank u so much haha
I'll be back on Here with pen results soon enough
 
Hello everybody
Going hydro for the first time and got my ph pen today but no buffer solution included. Just exactly how important is it to calibrate you PH pen?
I would highly recommend it. I bought a little jug of ph7 for like 9 bucks I think it was from the local hydro store and I calibrate it maybe a couple times a month. It's my first grow so my nerves play a role in that but I do believe it's a good idea to calibrate it at least once in a while. My shit one from Amazon I don't even use anymore. Worthless. Bought a better one nutra dip I think or some crap like that. Bluelab was too expensive for me
