I started my first ever grow 2 months ago after reading through this site for about 6 months prior. Thank you all for the wealth of information you provide. I grow two plants, white widow autos in a self-built grow box and was planning to start a journal here but thought that I will fail for sure the first time so I didn't. I am planning to use all for making medical oil (rick simpson method) and now I am at the point I need some advice. Some background:
White widow Autos, Nirvana seeds, both started in a dwc setup but moved to coco due to ph reasons (impossible to maintain). Today, June 13 the plants are 8 weeks and 2days old since they sprouted.
Fed with Canna coco A and B, Calmag, bit of peroxide, ph 5.8. When flower started I continued with less A and B and added PK13/14 and once a week only biobloom (biofizz), runoff is around 6ph
Lights are selfmade, one COB 100W, one COB 60 W and during veg I had a triple LED blue spectrum around 6000 lumens. Now It's around 160W LED and today I put in a 25W reptile UVB light.
Watering is pretty much every other day and they seem to like it. Temp is a bit on the up side, night 26c and daytime it can hit 29-30c because in closet.
The questions I have are the following:
1.Due to the fact that I plan to flush 3-5 days how long do you estimate (visually) could have left to harvest (so I know when to flush)? I know this is impossible to pinpoint but from your experience and looking at the pictures below what do you think? I am planning to cut down when all trics are cloudy. It's been 58 days since start and it doesn't look ready (to me)
2.Two days ago I noticed some small brown burns on a few bud leaves (pictures) any idea what it is and if I should get worried (looks like calcium but I feed them that).
3.If making RS Oil, is it really necessary to cure the buds or can I just dry them crispy
Thanks for your time and sorry if this has been answered on the forum, I did look through though...))
