Harvest window

[ReggieDobson]

Hi there so mid of 10 weeks of flowering. White widow photoperiod. Do you recon she’s ready? I see trichomes turning amber yet the rest aren’t too milky, more like cloudy or clear so not sure.

Can you plz share pics of whole buds and at least one of the entire plant?

Using trichomes to gauge harvest window is a pretty advanced technique, which more often than not leads to harvesting too early...

There u go

I see white hairs on the second pic, not ready yet imo.

I did a pair of White Widow clones outside a few years back. They didn't even start to build buds until Sept a month after everyone else. Past January 1st and they refused to stop growing and never did Amber up for shit. Took them mid Jan at over 15 feet tall. Long flower time for sure.

Dang that's a beauty, and looks to be in pretty good health for this late in the game. You're close but yeah, I would give it another week or two to ripen. If it stays healthy like that then go for two, your patience will be rewarded. Great job so far!

2 more weeks. They’ll darken up a little more and you’ll notice the visual difference

Right cheers, there is also one more issue I’ve got, so I was flushing the medium etc, it’s in the correct ph range but since mid of flowering it’s been a night mare cus the leaves are just drying out quickly as fuck starting from the tips. Don’t know why. I use canna pro organic living soil along with canna bio nutes, for the past two weeks I’ve been using only bio booster nothing else as it says on the guide, I did slurry test etc and ph is in the correct range so I’m not sure what else to do to help them. I was thinking about adding some pk13:14 but this is living soil so don’t know if that won’t fuck them up, what’s ur thoughts ?

You need to keep feeding. Why are you flushing?

No need to flush living soil as your just washing away what you took time to build up and establish. Just water at your normal rate and way till your done.

I make tea and feed all the way up until I’m done and continue to keep the soil right while I’m inbetween grows living soil is a job

 

[ReggieDobson]

Right but even when I was feeding them I had the same problem progressing so not sure, I gave them correct amount of nutes, I had correct ph of the solution and run off was within the range as well. I checked the light everything’s correct I mean distance etc. temperature is 26 at highest 20 at night so I’m not sure what else to do. I’ll start feeding them again but I’m thinking about using that pl13/14 and maybe cal mag agent even tho those are chemical solutions so what u think? Any thoughts how I can solve this problem?

How did you build your soil are ratios correct is something interacting with something else in the soil and making it to acidic. I don’t ph anything I let nature work it’s ph out itself.

I just used canna bio terra plus soil mix and I didn’t add anything, it was going great they looked really healthy till early/mid of flower. That when the issues have started and I removed damaged foil after flush, I started feeding them again but it seems like this issue is still ongoing and I can’t figure out how to fix it.

What size pots you using did you have any really dry spells that could’ve caused issues that your noticing after they got worse. Damaged materials won’t revert back is it getting worse or stopped and new growth looks nice.

3 gallons fabric pots, and yeh it’s getting worse. I removed any damaged foliage bout 3days ago and as u see on the pics (I took them today) it’s getting worse. I don’t know what to do at this point. Do you think I should just feed them till the end and ignore that issue as I’ve only got bout 2 weeks left or they wouldn’t finish and Rippen if I won’t fix this issue ?

That’s more than likely your problem those small pots are very hard to maintain a living soil in I ran twenty gallon pots and wanted to add more compost to mine this grow so upped to 25 and I think the soil is going to be much happier and easier this go. Bigger is better with living soil I wouldn’t go under a fifteen gallon pot.

I mean stunted growth and nutrient uptaking issues always have some kind of effect on the end product even with nice looking buds maybe you lose potency or that good taste is gone I would keep feeding them and ride it out. You can always try a little Epsom salt or some recharge to help it along but this far along I wouldn’t really bother with the recharge.

 

[ReggieDobson]

Right. Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Looking at your pics again they look like they mite have got a little wind burned more than any real issue but the small pots and living soil just ask for issues. The plants look really good. Did they ever get a little dry and to much air on them.
