could be stress from sudden change in e.c. (nute makeup im told, i dont really know what e.c. truly is)

or could be stress from roots not getting oxygen. when i flushed, same thing happened, and it took my soil forever to dry out becuase the roots were not drinking at all. when the soil dries out, you should be good

when the soil gets really dry, i suggest feeding with a 1-1-1 feed at 1/4 strength. dont jump the gun and do this right away though

harvesting when most trichomes cloudy or milky will give you a up heady energetic rushy high.
harvesting when most trichomes are amber/orange will give narcotic couchlock high.
harvesting at 50/50 cloudy and amber gives mix of both.
Sativa, Indica, strain has nothing to do with it?????????????????????????

Why do you continue to give the OP horrible advice.

Please for the love of God don't give advice if you don't know yourself. That's what's wrong on this site is that you can spew any bs you want and then people come on here with threads saying HELP ME MY PLANTS DYING!

Yellowing isn't caused from stress it's caused from N being removed to promote bud growth. Feed with a 1-1-1 in late flower? Are you serious right now. And never let your soil dry completely out!

Im not using soil, its deep water culture..I flushed the res. with water and used a flushing agent....buds are fattening up the last few days. Think im gonna chop in a few days. Clone taken from first week of flower is finally rooted nicely in mini dwc...the strain gets another shot after all.

Harvest now, I see lots of amber in the close up Pict. If you let it get too much amber it will loose potential to be good smoke. Dry slowly and it will Finnish itself. Now is harvest time.

1-1-1 will work fine. were not perfect. when plant veg gets yellow, starting from the bottem, and slowly get yellow and climb the plant, its from root rot. its happened to me before, so i have experience and know what im talking about. since it was recently flushed, and there are no pics, this is my best guess, especially if things were ok before the lockout and flush.

feed with a 1-1-2 or 1-2-2 feed. there, you happy now?

10% amber GG.

dont let it over ripen, also dont pick it too soon
Tell me genius. How would one go about finding out if 10% of the ENTIRE plant has amber trichomes? What sort of technique do YOU use. Not what you read in a book. Oh wait, you don't know because you haven't grown any legit bud a day in your life. Everything you say is from a book not from real experience.

You shit.
OP said he is late in flower, and some yellowing/ lightening is common late in flower, from lack of N.
Doesn't necessarily mean rot.
Why would he want to feed when he is about ready to flush?
And what do you mean 'has happened to you before'? You already told us your scraggly shit is your first plant, and you say don't make fun of it because it happened for no reason, then proceed to tell how you fucked it up.

I think SOME is from his GC buddies.

So much misinfomation in this thread, idiot kids growing 1 plant thinking they know what the fuck they are talking about... facepalm.

I think you should harvest your plant when YOU think its ready.

Yeah. Why would I feed if I am trying to flush? I know you are trying to help bmeat but doesnt look like you have ever grown hydro or ever had a successful crop in general...I guess I should look at someones posts before I take any advice. I've spent too much time and money to fuck this up now. I'm asking for opinions but first hand opinions would be nice. Red flag went up when you said you didn't know what ec was.

Now that's out of the way.Im just going to chop it. I dried a small bud and it was potent...smelled like hay so I'm gonna dry much slower and cure this time to see if I can get the fruity taste this strain is supposed to have. Any guesses on yield? I'm shooting for more than 60g (only guesses from growers that have had more than 60g from a plant thats not tomatoes...had to say it ;)

If u used final phase there's no need to worry about shock to the plant. It's just chelates that grab certain materials such as individual nutrients and bind to them. It allows your plant to consume its on board nutrients and purge themselves of unwanted residues. Final phase works too I've ran AN for years and can tell you from experience that final phase is a good product. Def noticed a difference using it to not using it.

Thanks 420. That makes sense. Ive used AN products on this whole grow. Expensive but is working great. Voodoo juice was incredible...I need to do a control experiment without it but I dont want to waste a good plant. On next grow im gonna leave out some if the additives and see what results i have. This grow I used sensi grow a & b, sensi bloom a & b , tarantula, piranha, bud candy, sensizym, voodoo juice, cal mag, and final phase. No tarant, piranha, or bud candy next time...

more pics before I chop... chop the whole plant at the base or chop individual branches and let the bottom fill out... any suggestions?

I told that idiot what EC was before but since I'm not a member of grasscity and didn't write some article from 1999 on the internet he probably didn't believe me. I'm not a huge fan of guessing yield so I can't give you a number with that. It's a good looking plant though. As far as this forum. Be very VERY leery of who you take advice from. Especially in the newbie section. As you can see, noobs that have grown nothing think they know everything.

i didnt he was deep into flower..it would have been nice if that was specified.

plants looking amazing. you didnt need to ask for any help. it is true that towards the ending of flowering, the veg leaves die off to give energy to the fruits in a last ditch effort to make them stickier.

i would just chop the whole plant down and hang it in a dark spot cause im lazy, but moisture will evaporate quicker if you cut individual branches

looks like a good hybrid of sativa and indica. nice work

WHAT FRUITS! What the FUCK are you talking about? Jesus kid, stop. Bud is not a fruit. Herb would be much more accurate. FRUIT?! LOL wow.. The leaves die off as a last ditch to make them(I assume you mean fruit) sticker? HAHA. Stay off Grasscity kid.. There you go again telling people when to chop, then you ask for help in your thread. I'm fairly certain you are mentally challenged.
