I am looking for help in predicting the future growth and harvest time for my plants. I am just finishing my 8th week of flowering. For the purpose of me counting weeks, I considered flipping to 12/12 transition 24/7 light and 36 hours dark at the end the first week rather than the first week with a bud showing. Then the HPS light is on 12/12. I am growing in 30% Foxfarm, 30% Perlite, 30% coco, 1000W HPS. I am using Emerald Harvest 2 part nutrients system where they have the feeding weeks all line up for me. After their "late flower" feed schedule, they have a week of "ripening" feed, then a week of "flushing" feed. After adding feeding the flush nutrients, I water for a week with ph balanced RO water until the TDS gets down to around 300 ppm then chop and hang.
My question is predicting where the plants will be after a week of ripening and a week of flushing from their current state.
I have 7 plants and also different strains. Mostly Indica or Indica dominate hybrids. Not looking for complete couch lock effect but more concerned with highest yield and strongest effects which means I don't want to harvest with with a lot of amber trichomes for an Idica if my thinking is right (say, less than 10% amber).
For these two plants, I am thinking about skipping the "ripening" week and starting "flush week" in tomorrows feeding (Sunday). That means about one more week before chopping the plants. What do you think?
A. OG Kush [seed spec is 8.0 wks of flower] : Top part of plant has 85% to 90% brown pitas, the lower is 50% brown. The trichomes are 90% cloudy, 5% to 10% amber and fan leaves are turning yellow fast.
B. Lost Coast Hash Plant [seed spec is 9.5 wks] has 95% brown pistils, and 20% amber trichomes 80% cloudy trichomes.
For these, I am considering doing the ripening week and then start the flush week (2 more weeks before chop). What do you think?
C. Ayahuasca Purple [seed spec is 8.5 wks] has 50% brown pistils, the rest of the white pistils are thinning and starting to curl inward. All trichomes are 100% cloudy. (should I put this one in flush week starting tomorrow?) The trichomes on this one are very large and plentiful.
D. Chocolate Cream (always has great yields for me) [seed spec is 8.0 wks] has 30% brown pistils, most of the white pistils are thinning and curling inward, The trichomes are 90% milky and 10% amber. (should I put this one into flush week starting tomorrow?)
E. Blue Berry 1 [seed spec is 8.5 wks] has 25% brown pistils, trichomes are 80% milky, 10% clear and 10% amber
F. Blue Berry 2 [seed spec is 8.5 wks] has 25% brown pistils, all white pistils are thin and curling, the thrichomes are 80% milky and 20% clear (no amber)
G. Blue Berry 3 [seed spec is 8.5 wks] has 5% brown pistils, 80% cloudy trichomes and 10% clear trichomes and 10% amber trichomes. Interestingly, the trichomes on this one seem short with small heads compared to all of the others plants and strains in the grow.
Thanks in advance for your advice! Everything is getting exciting! This is my third grow.
