400watt MH/HPS Hydro Growbox Continues...

So I can now see i am nearing the end of this grow
lots of orange hairs on the blueberry cannalope, they are at about 40% orange. checked the trichs and we got about 80% cloudy 15% clear and 5% amber.
could probably harvest her any day now, but im going out of town on thursday and wont be back till monday so im choosing to let her go till then.
I think i will start flushing either late tomorrow night or thursday before I leave.
The black domina has less orange hairs and i can tell will need a little more time than the blueberry, which is odd because i thought the blueberry would take longer. I feel like the blueberry is finishing a little early just because of all the yellowing and problems its had, but we will see how things go, if its still bulking up then ill let it keep going. but either way i feel i should probably start flushing before i leave because im looking at a harvest next weekend (april 10th) probably
its really hard to time this right
any ideas or tips on this because i dont wanna lose out on weight.

thanks guys
also im gonna just continue right after i harvest this one and do a scrog probably. gonna start veging some clones this weekend probably in a seperate make shift area.

bump on above
and kinda to elaborate
on some help?

when do u think is ok to start flushing?
and how long would it be ok to flush?
will they still plump up during flushing?
is it ok to run just water for 2 whole weeks?

i think your really close to harvest. definetley start flushing. id flush for a week and a half.

thats what i was thinking
based on trichs n stuff
but i dont wanna fall short

thanks for the input

anyone else?

Flushing for 2 weeks will give you a better taste than if you flushed for 1 week. Go for it, they will not lose any yield because of this flush. Post some pics man...I just got 6 clones in a 3x2 space under a 400 Watt hps. 2nd week of veg, LST, organic soil. They are about the size of your first grow on 10-5-2009.

How big are your fans? I feel like heat might become an issue for me.

Hey guys, all is well
i got back in town yesterday
they did lots of swelling!
i took some pics but will upload tomorrow,
the black domina is a little behind the blueberry it seems
the blueberry cannalope is showing about 25% amber 70% cloudy and 5% clear
so its about the perfect mix for me since its the more sativa pheno (about 55% sativa 45% indica) I want it to be a good daytime high. OH ALSO! the blueberry is starting to turn purple!
theres quite a few purple calyxes in the main cola's! its awesome! i was very suprised, they are trich coated and look amazing! im trying to get pics of it but its kinda hard, i think i need to do it with the lights off? i want to get u guys some quality pics!
The black domina is a little behind, less orange hairs, still plumping up a little, has about 10% amber 90% cloudy. so its getting there
none the less, i started flushing tonight with RO water and 3ml per gallon of Floranectar
do you guys think this was the right thing to do? will the domina mature enough still? (looks like im going to harvest the cannalope pretty soon, 7 day flush?)

oh i forgot to reply to u shovel! thanks for stopping by! i just started flushing today actually .
and i use a 181 CFM inline fan, you need it with a 400watt.

Photoupdate: Day 60 of 12/12
The blueberry cannalope as with most of its time in flowering lots of dying and yellowing leafs. Especially after one day of flushing. Its really and the end of its life.
The Black Domina Started yellowing about 2 weeks ago, so it too is starting to yellow alot more after one day of flushing, still looks like the blueberry will come down 1st, probably no later than Tuesday the 13th.
Anyone wanna start taking guesses on total weight of the whole harvest?
whoever is closest gets rep?!
so start submitting guesses on dry weight!









(This nug has lots of purple calyxes they may be hard to see though)

(tryin to get a shot of that purple)



(probably the best shot of purple i can get, try and spot it?)







(Thats a pretty domina cola)











so let the guessing begin!
im Hoping for minimum of 6oz.

bump on these pics and questions?
and weight guessing contest!

i think the blueberry may be comming down as early as tomorrow evening!
i want to give it a 24hour dark period
but i dont think thats ok if the black domina is in there,
opinions?

yea i wouldnt do that with the other plant in there. maybe leave it in a closet or something?

nah ill just harvest it right after a 12hour dark period
they are in a table so cant move anything anywhere

whats up everyone!
the blueberry came down tonight
all trimmed up and ready to be dried
heres a couple pics
and so you guys can get a real guess on TOTAL weight from BOTH plants
the black domina is going to go a few more days i think.

Heres the black domina 1st
some cola's are so heavy they plop over
but now you can get a good look at it without the blueberry cannalope in there
so guess at the weight!

(theres one cola behind the one u see farthest to the right, and the big fat one is about 3 inches taller than you can see.
now!
BLUEBERRY CANNALOPE!




The biggest of the Blueberry Cannalope Buds!

enjoy everyone,
hit me with the guesses on total weight!

bumpidy bump! weight guesses on both plants combined?
winner gets +REP!

i dont know what you'll get dry weight but nice plants

thanks man
seems like ur the only one that likes to talk

haha
so i think the black domina is going to be harvested tomorrow
its lookin mature and super swollen
its in dark right now and has been for about 10 hours, i think im going to leave it in the dark for awhole 24hours

but one problem, i need some opinions
it has only about 15% amber trichs
it seems as tho they aren't getting more amber
wut should i do?
i wanted more amber but its already in the 10th week

how long will it take to amber more? should i be fine harvesting now?
dont wanna wait too much longer :/

here are some closeups of the dry blueberry nuggage
and the domina harvest pics!
enjoy everyone
lots of trim to be making hash and such
will have more pics on the way as well
smoke reports comming soon
but to let you know, smoke some black domina scissor hash and oh man was it good. not as good tasting as the blueberry but it was def a knock out

1st some Blueberry Cannalope





(The Big Blueberry cola from the previous post)

(again same as the big one from the last post, shrinkage )


on to the black domina harvest shots now



(all trimmed up )

Closeup's of the big Black Domina bud:













mmmmmmm
thanks everyone who has helped me and has befriended me
lets keep the convos going
looking foward to your guys' opinion's
will be continuing with new clones this weekend

total weight i feel is gonna be somewhere around 6oz

nice harvest. is there a smoke report?

there will be once its ready to smoke
ive smoked some dry blueberry cannalope
didnt taste bad at all
just weird because its not cured, but not harsh and white ash. meaning it got a perfect flush
the scissor hash from the blueberry tasted aamazing (blueberryish) and got me baked
the scissor hash from the black domina tasted not that great, but stoned me in one hit.

is scissor hash the resin you get from trimming your buds?
