Good job

JiJi,
are you using tap water? if so whats your total alkalinity? I ask because if your alkalinity is high you might be adding a ton of cal mag and bloom nutes, all might add up to copper and iron lock out causing your leaves to be that color. Just a thought for the next grow.

Thanks for the tip Gauge! I have never measured the total alkalinity of my tap water but for the next grow I'll get some testers as well EC meter and will try to be more precise with watering and feeding as well I hope I'll avoid the mistakes I've made so far. Maybe making a list of them will definitely help in future

Best,
Jiji

Beautiful Jiji.
She's definitely ready to chop from what I can see. More than enough amber trichs

The trich shots are excellent. Thank you for sharing.

 

[nobodyhere]

you have been so patient...I hope your rewarded well.

 

[Tony Urban]

Well done! Yeah they look pretty much ready to harvest. Gonna be some beautiful buds. Might be a slight pain to trim with the leaf/bud ratio as I read on the strain description but well worth it. Congrats!

What is your rule of thumb for flawless finish? I have some but have not ever used. Do you use it once a few days before harvest? Multiple times?

What is your rule of thumb for flawless finish? I have some but have not ever used. Do you use it once a few days before harvest? Multiple times?

I was thinking to just water with tap water for the last 2 weeks + AdvancedNutrients Flawless Finish. But I'm a bit confused now because obviously the upper buds are ready but the lower are still with a lot of clear trichomes. Also after yesterdays clear watering I see a rapid change in the color of the leaves (for only 1 day) which tells me that if I continue doing that (clear watering) the plant may die sooner than I may need it to. So according all that I'm thinking to harvest the big colas first and then with the more opened space to continue feeding so to make the lower buds good as the upper. I'm not sure is that going to work but personally I don't see any sense in cutting the lower buds at their current state. I'm open to suggestions on that matter

Best Regards,
Jiji

your girl won't die from water! she will actually leach nutrients into your reservoir in an effort to find a balance between the salty nutes and pure water. if your monitoring the res your an actually watch this happen until the res will eventually stabilize at whatever the water your using. your girls will suck up water and poop out nutes and until you do it you really won't know what a flush is and how a plant actually drinks and feeds. Plus it makes the good smoke!

My 2Cents is why try to make all your smoke the same. get some amber stuff and some more clear/ cloudy stuff and see what you like the best. Its only weed and you can get your next grow in sooner anyway. It aint gonna be bad either way.
