Not really bitching but lol my veg tent was not planned properly this time for a perpetual grow. I jumped then gun thinking this batch would've been done by now and veg tent would get put into flower tent. Ladies are getting almost to the point where I will run out of room once I throw em into flower. Lol. Not a terrible problem to have just have to figure out what I will do once they get to big for the 78" flower tent. Thanks for the props. They are gonna be amazing once they finish I think
You got room for at least 6 veggin plants in there along side. Toss em in and get it going
I've got three different strains in there and they are all very close with the amount of amber trichomes
I will get some good pics of trichomes tonight with the microscope. I will post em once I'm done
That's why it's nice to have two separate tents. A veg running 18/6 and a flower running 12/12. I run multiple strains every grow with plants at different stages in the flower tent. It doesn't matter when they finish or when you introduce new plants because all you need is for them to be at 12/12. Toss a long flowering sativa in the back and forget about it while flowering and harvesting faster flowering strains. All the while putting more plants in as you make room by harvesting those that are ready.
That’s what I do I have a 4x4 veg tent which is currently holding 15 plants and the 5x5 flower tent that’s killing me right now hahaha
Lower buds r a good size
LST or Top them? If you dont wanna waste the top just clone it. Haha even if you don't need the clones give em to your buddies.
I did both and lolllipopped so we will see. If they get to big then it’s time to set up a room and get out of the tent lol
Ya man I want rooms and not tents. It’s coming probably sooner then later. I do have too many for my flower tent already so if I have to dump a few no sweat and there’s always the buddies that are always asking for plants but have nothing to grow it with lol
Yea, I think it's almost unavoidable to have to throw some plants out when growing perpetually. That's the downside I experience....you throw you time and nutes at some plants that dont always make it which of course sucks, but the pros are you always have plants lol. So I think the pros outweigh the cons
I would double check, but I heard with many sativas, that they dont always go from clear, to cloudy, to milky, to amber. They just fo straight from clear to amber...so when you see some amber, your about ready. But someone correct me if this is wrong
I am keeping an eye on them with a loupe. Day by day from here and once they are where I want them they are going dark for 48-72 hrs. Then chop. Can't wait to taste it...in a month down the road lol
Some don't amber at all which is why you need to look at the overall plant. Some are finding amber on sugar leaves and chopping even though the flowers still have lots of white pistils. What happens is new growers hear "Amber" then spend hours using their cool USB microscope searching for amber trichomes. They find a few on some sugar leaves and are in such a hurry to harvest that they chop way too early. Then they post in the Harvest and Curing section asking why their buds aren't dense and smell like hay. Always check the trichomes on the calyx's not the sugar leaves.
