Day 30 flowering

Today the little lady decided to show the first autumn colours, a few amber pistils here and there




Now, SensiSeeds says flowering is 50-70 days, and being at day 30 now and starting to see coloured pistils, will I be able to guestimate whether I'm looking at closer to 50 days or 70 days before harvest time?
I mean if I'm closer to 50 days I would probably have to think about flushing in about weeks time or so. Right?

Those flowers still have a ways to go yet, you're good.

Penny, when would you say I should start adding PK 13-14? Today is day 34 flowering.

 

[Pennywise]

I wouldn't give until just before your flush, I don't use PK boosters myself.

Thanks Dutchman. I'm really happy about them so far. If they keep growing at this rate I'll be so stoked!

Day 48 flowering

Apologies for my absence. Have not had much time to get online last few weeks.
Until I came home tonight after a few days out of town everything had been going quite well.

However, tonight i arrived home to a heartbreaking sight.

I must have left the light too close I guess (though not really closer than what I've done before).


My initial thought is to start cutting all brown leaves off asap. Should I?
Any other actions I need to take right away?

Advice will be much appreciated!

 

[HighUpNorth]

Ok, I decided to just go ahead and trim off almost all of the brown/crisp leaves.


The top of the main cola is dry as well as a few of the other tops. Can they bounce back or is trich production stopped for good on those?

There are still nice trichs on most of the bud sites though.

 

[Pennywise]

Should be good to go at this point.

Thanks Penny!

When you say 'good to go' do you mean just in ok shape or close to harvest?

Today is day 50 of flowering and I fed her two days ago. After I removed brown/chrisp leaves the other day, there's been some yellowing of some leaves that I removed yesterday and also again today some leaves getting dry brown spots.

I'm not sure If I should remove these. Is it normal at this stage of flowering to see this and nothing to worry about?

Below is some trich pics. To me they look like they are still clear, but I think it is difficult to see if some are actually cloudy. I'm trying to determine if I should consider flushing anytime soon?


Thanks

 

[HighUpNorth]

The leaves are still getting in a bit worse shape every day.
Tomorrow I'm either feeding them or doing a flush as I'm not sure if what is going on is a deficiency or abundance of some sort?

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I'm on my laptop again and hopefully it might be possible to determine what the cause is?

Day 52 flowering

So as mentioned yesterday the girl doesn't look healthy and below is some pics.

I've let her dry out well since last feeding and tonight she needs either a new feeding, or just water or perhaps a flush?

@Pennywise @Mr. Magoo @Dutchman1990 what would you suggest looking at the pictures?


I've been feeding according to the BioBizz recommendations pretty strict, starting out at 1/4 strength building up and the last few weeks have been full strength. I haven't watered pure water at any time, I've fed her every time (every 3-4 days).

Thanks!

 

[Pennywise]

She's basically cannabilizing herself, just feed her. She is close enough she'll finish fine.

Awesome! Thanks Penny!

 

[Pennywise]

Some strains will do that at the end no matter what you do, yours could be a really heavy feeder though.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

I was thinking that as well since it’s this far into flowering. Glad to see my thinking was in the right place. Lol. What about the browning of the sugar leaves @Pennywise ? Is that anything to be concerned with? Or does it not matter so much at this point?

 

[Pennywise]

This far along they'll make it to harvest, next time you run this strain you know to up the feed at the halfway point of flower.

Day 57 flowering

Time for another feeding tonight, four days since last one.
I've removed some of the leaves that was all yellow and limb.

I think the trichomes are still clear, so I am still waiting to do a flush in preparation to harvest.




Getting closer though

 

[Pennywise]

Coming along nicely I see!

 

[Dutchman1990]

Looking great man! She’s getting close now
