Opar’s First Grow: Blue Dream & Bubba Kush 2.0, 2019

[Backlipslide]

the plant should always take on h2o. I had to read that a couple times... maybe the roots are more filled in, in the pot and it’s making the medium more compact. I’m not sure man

 

[Silverfox125]

That’s what I would guess. Really compact. I’ve had it happen.

 

[Opar]

Definitely roots are full, that must be it ... I poked the top and couldn’t penetrate so I dug it a bit and all roots... great call! Thanks you guys for weighing in !!

I had a situation when I was feeding molasses in my water. After a while it became somewhat solid on the surface. I took a poker and loosened the top inch, maybe less, just a little. I could feel it break up being careful not to ruin roots. Water ran right through after.

 

[StoneOtter]

Right! Congrats on the harvest! They look great!

I’ll give it a try on my larger pot, not sure how not to damage the roots, but I’ll be as careful as possible, huge pot so should be ok if I get a few.

Right! Congrats on the harvest! They look great!

Thanks! I was expecting about half that amount! Time for me to let go of what I did wrong on that plant and just hope the harvest from it is good

Lesson learned though, up pot, don’t be lazy. Even if my training didn’t get me where i wanted to be before I flipped, the roots still overtook my pot and limited quality/quantity.
In my other plants, I can see the difference in cola size and frostiness and overall health.

Getting closer... so hard to tell trichome colour with HPS !!! Oh well

 

[StoneOtter]

Oh Man that's mouth watering!

 

[Silverfox125]

Try using the flash and see if colors of trichs are easier to see. That’s what I used to do. Looking good

 

[Opar]

I actually used my phones light to try to improve I’ll chop some buds in a few days... heat is up in the room (environment) .... so interest to see what happens, I increased humidity hoping not to dry out the bud... need co2

 

[Opar]

Oh Man that's mouth watering!

seems like trichs have double in last few days

 

[Opar]

Well, dinamed looked ready, cubs only strain so I’m wondering if I let it go too long, but beautiful buds... wow pretty darn neat ... those are the buds in the tray, well, not all the harvest in the pic but you get the idea of how they look... pretty sure I’ll be cutting down at least a plant a day from here on out.... next up will be ‘the new’ and one of my mandarin cookies, and probably some sapphire og..... can’t wait !

 

[Opar]

My first plant I chopped was not labelled (damnit) and I had clones and other seedlings flying around, so I’m unsure, but it is probably sapphire og.... was quite abused throughout the whole grow and the showed it at harvest.... limited amount of bud, although the larger higher bugs were actually pretty dense.... anything below the top big was pretty small and airy.... I did have a lot of popcorn and larf for the trim bag. Hopefully will make some hash or oil from it. This is not quite the whole
but it’s pretty damn close to it :/

definitely running across from now on, and definitely paying attention to the training before flip.

 

[Opar]

My plants should be ambering up, but are still holding out on me, I think only 1 is still growing, maybe 2....

 

[Silverfox125]

Looking close. How many days flower? By the way your killing it. This is your second grow correct?

hey thanks Silverfox, means a lot to me, appreciate it! Day 64 from flip... and yes second grow... I was hoping to chop soon but might be another week or so... unsure

 

[Opar]

Gahhhh. Sugar leaves makes everything so hard, and level of zoom combined with lighting makes identifying trichomes as clear or milky tough tooo!!!


Going to post a few pics, and could really use your opinion, so long as you have a firm opinion... gut tells me that I might be able to chop one or two, but that I gotta wait on most. In the interest of brevity, I’ll post the best trich Pic I got.... i appreciate your help!! @Backlipslide , @Silverfox125 , @Sparkey224 , @stoneotter , @DonkeyDick. I know everyone will potentially have different opinions, just looking to see if I’m going to screw mused by cutting early...

poor plants had much more potential... as I’ve stated I abused them bad before flipping, and even worse ran out of yoyo’s, and the tents are not accessible from other than front.... also heat is high... is that foxtailing on some?....


It’s odd but I thought DWC would finish sooner but colour changes and trich’s are looking behind.... I was thinking... well I’ll wait to hear from some veterans, hopefully, before saying what I think, hence the reason for the post lol
