how many days u gona leave em ? for 63 days total ?

so another 2 weeks or so. damn, good jub.. soil ?

+ rep
Thanks DWR.. :joint:
Yep they are in soil, BioBizz Light Mix..
I'm very happy with how this grow turned out.. its given me alot more confidence for my next grow.. :mrgreen:
I think i'm going to take the one on the right to 9 weeks or see how she looks at that time..and the one on the left i want to go 10 or 11 weeks..she seems a little bit behind but then again her buds do look different to her sis.. maybe different phenotypes?
I haven't got any set dates for when i harvest, just going to keep checking them out and scoping the trichs near the end and harvest when i think they look ready.. :eyesmoke: can't wait! :lol:

:peace:

Time for an update me tinks.. :-P
Day 48 today, and i fed them some nutes..:mrgreen:
The spotty/yellowing leaves seem to be getting closer to the bud...:neutral: i don't get it as they both have been treated the same, same PH levels, same nute dosage, same everything, and the one on the left is lovely and green! :lol:
atleast we close to harvest for the girl on the right..:eyesmoke:
More pics today..i've took some more pics of the spotty/browny/yellowing leaves..there are a few on the bottom, the middle seem fine, lovely and green, some even very dark green and the tops go very brown rusty looking and crisping up at the edges..its strange to think it affected the top some of the bottom but none of the middle.. :mrgreen:

:peace:

Is it possible the one with the leaf problem is root bound? I had a similar issue in veg when she was a baby. Repotted her and she was fine after that. Just because they're growing at the same rate doesn't mean her roots are. Despite those lower leaves, she looks nommy! I wanna eat it! lol!

...Then again... looking at that 5th photo you have up there, I am wondering if this is a strain specific issue? My lower leaves look like that too a bit ( I just pruned them and fed them to the cat :mrgreen: ) Looks like a cal/mag deficiency to me. I stopped that by misting some epsom salt water on the foilage showing the issue for a few days right before the lights came on, and giving her a few doses of molasses. You could try it if you see it starting on newer leaves, but I think those are too gone for help. 1tsp epsom salt, a drop of dishsoap, squirt bottle full of water. Mist them, but don't soak em.

Mmm..it is possible..the only problem is, the pots they are in (20 litre) are the biggest i have and i just gave my last bit of soil to my bruv! :mrgreen:
Thanks man, she does like sweet like she would dissolve on your tongue!.. :lol:

You may be onto something there, the BB HookedOnChronic grew did the same thing and also mentioned it could be a genetic thing..i think it was HookedOnChronic.. i would go back and look but i don't wanna write this all out again if my PC crash on me! :lol:
You fed the trimmings to the cat! aha! :mrgreen: what about all the Trich covered trim.. bet your cat don't get that! :lol:
but anyway, just had a look about for some epsom salt and aparently its a bit tricky to get hold of where i is at :-P so i'm going to order online but can't do nothing until monday, but i'm gonna get straight on it when monday rolls round.. :mrgreen: just hope it won't take long to arrive cause it wouldn't be worth it otherwise..
Thanks for the help man.. :joint:

They reckon the BB can go 10/11 weeks and the one on the right sure does look like she could go longer than her sis and its only week 7! :lol:
but i will be checking the trichs so if they look good at 9 or so then chop chop.. :mrgreen:
I'm just really keen to taste the difference.. :blsmoke:
:eyesmoke:
but i will be updating day by day as usual and i'm going to try and get a few trich shots through my 100x scope for y'all when the end is near, just as long as i can keep my hand steady long enough.. :bigjoint:

:peace:

Quick Question....

Anyone think it would be a good idea to trim off the worst looking leaves, even the top ones?
I've only been pulling off the ones that droop and die at the bottom as i wanted to do a 'no trim' grow this time, but i think maybe i should cut these ones off?

What do you guys reckon?

:peace:
 

Huh??

I say keep the leaves,they are probably the plants only source of magnesium or whatever has been locked out.
Those buds are looking delicious man!

Day 50! :mrgreen:
Nearly there now.. getting more and more cheerful as that special day approaches! :lol:
It seems that the green on the top leaves that were horribly yellowing is coming back.. is it just my eyes? I thought that once the leaf had damage that was it, can the leaf regain some of its colour, even if it has yellowed? It may be a stupid question but i'm shot to bits so i'm just gunna put it out there.. :eyesmoke:

I'll post a pic of the leaf in question,(pic3) its from the top part of the plant..you can see it doesn't look as bad as the pics previously.....

:peace:

51 days since switching to 12/12...:weed:
Gave dem some more nutes today, can't believe how quick the pots dry out...:lol:
I think this will probably be the last time the lady on the right will get some, as she's coming down soon.. :mrgreen: flushy flush flush! :lol:
A bit more bud porn.. gotta clipper next to em so you can get an idea of the cola size..and no it aint a mini clipper! :lol: :bigjoint:
the lady on the left's cola is just about as fat as the clipper! :mrgreen:

I had a quick look through my scope and there are a few amber trichs on the right hand girl...Mmmm.. sooooon...! :eyesmoke:

:peace:
