Hi Mimilo

What does "this is the rippen week of nuts... the 3th day" mean?

She looks like she still needs a few weeks to swell up.

thanks for your answer Ricorico! .. sorry for my english...
last sunday i changed the nutrients to RIPEN(flora chart)... they are in the 7 th week of flowering

definitely more time needed. investing in a new scope would be prudent if you're having trouble seeing the resin glands change from clear to milky and finally amber.

Yes I agree they only look a couple weeks in general flowering usually takes at least 50days but that's under optimal conditions so yea idk what type of light your using if you could please tell. But you should invest in a 30x handheld microscope they're 10 15 bucks but when you do look at the trichroms and at first when you look they will be milky or clear (NOT READY) to tell when the buds are ready you will see some of trichroms start to change to an amber color maybe about a third to half of the trichroms. By waiting till the halfway mark you will have a combination of the head high and the couch potato high without running the risk of no high because you harvested prematurely but u can choose to do a little less than a third amber if you want more of the milky

thanks for your answers... i really appreciate,,, ... i have 11 CFL... 1x 65 w 3900 lm 5600 k, 2 x 50 w 3000 lm 2700k , 1x 20 w 5600 k and the rest are 6 x 20 w 1200 lm 2700 k

Ok you want to have your kelvin at 2700 thats the optimal output for budding

Just make sure you flush them and let the plant use what water it has left before u harvest them but don't let the dirt dry completely

 

[mimilo]

these are in hYdro system... i have a 5 liters bucket for each one... they use less than a galon of water...( thats beacuse the root and the air stone)
i check them every day... one day put water. the other day half strenght nutrients, if need it... depends of how many ppm
but.. one plant( a plant that from the begining was small..first two photos.)...seems that doesnt eat and drink to much...the ppm stay the same ... sometimes it rise ..

By the look of her, she's been giving you trouble for awhile. She's mad and won't eat. This close to harvest not much you can do. Expect the worst and hope for the best!
