No probs but i feel different, 4 weeks min and you'll start to get harvestable buds. Hes yet to say wether 6 weeks from 12/12 or from start of flower, they could have taken 2 weeks to start flowering making him week 4 which is more what they look like. Hardly any swell, most bud growth looks like your first standard growth with little overgrowing that yet and hardly any hairs turned orange yet let alone withered and receeded. Last two weeks of most grows are just packing on weight as well. They do look frosty though.
Fat buds to me depends on the size of plant that grew them, a one inch bud on a three inch marijuana plant, now thats a fat bud!
Intresting thread though, can this guy run this for three weeks with pic updates every few days, be really cool to see and good reference of knowledge for future growers??? Peace

Kingrow1 and tje22, I answered your ?s on the first page of the thread. You didn't notice. I only used chem nutes when they were young.

I didn't, tje22. I was just clarifying, because I *DID* use chem early on. Didn't want to misrepresent. But after I upgrade from 1/2 gallon pots, it was all Organic. seed meal, lime, rock phosphate, kelp meal, in the soil mix, but lately it's just been the HighP guano/molasses tea.

If they have been flowering for 8 weeks or since first flowers showed realistically they will definatly not be ready in 2/3 weeks. Im guessing either heavily dominant sat strain not indica or they have had some problems and caused slow growth and maturity. I wouldnt like to comment futher but id not bother flushing before harvest but obviously some small problems with the bottom leaves that could do with some thinking about.
Outdoor grows rock although i have never had the pleasure of growing weed outdoors. If its in a pot you might consider when the cold weather is due and make arrangements to finish last few weeks indoors.
Seriously best of luck and its looking good at the moment, sounds like a longer flowering strain, harvest when she looks done is best way but keep in mind those bud porn pics i posted, thats couchlock stoned weed basically, very ripe. Peace

Oh, and occasionally I add Epsom salts to the tea (for the Mg). I didn't use a lot of lime because I didn't want to risk the pH skyrocketing as the grow progressed.

Teas can be quite powerfull, often a couple of weeks in between each tea is needed to judge the effects of the last tea.
PH Schmee'H' i say, overferting gives you low pH thats it, just dont overfert is simple and use some garden lime in the next grow.
You might need epsom salts two three times in a grow at most past the normal amounts of cal/mag your water and ferts give you. Now good luck and Peace, update in two weeks and we'll talk again!lol!

Ya know kingrow1, They did have some problems. This particular specimen's lower leaves started yellowing slowly a while ago So I think she may have been N deficient. I bet fewer fan leaves would indeed have an impact on bud development. Also, I live in Oregon west of the cascades, where outdoor grows have little or no trouble finishing (sometimes even into November), so I'm in luck there!

Make a new thread and see what other growers think of the the yellow leaf problems, could be just N deficient. Peace
