this strain looks really good :)

I would watch out for bud rot at this point ( single blade leaves growing on the buds and a dark brown color on the inside of the buds but starts off as a white mold ) and turn the fans up a little, if the temps are high i would lift the light a few inches, as heat degrades the thc
the buds still have new growth ( cluster of white hairs) so the plants still filling out and putting weight on

the last 2-3 weeks the buds don't look like there do anything buy they can get really solid if you wait and it really bumps the weight up and you harvest the plants at the best time to get the strongest amount of thc
so dude u think i should still leave for another 2wks....?

yes there no question about that from the pics, but the harvest window is just open so the choice is yours
harvest now and you will pull less weed and it will not be as strong but your still going to pull a good yield for the plant size

just let me know and i will advice you frank so you get the best results

cheers mate
look dazzyballz you have no ideal what you are doing indoors (you maybe a really good outdoor grower) and if you can accept this and you are willing to start a new grow diary with seeds or cutting and follow my advice i will help you
as lesart00 has done, i have no time for growers that know it all, when i say i have been growing for 10 years, i mean i have done about 50 indoor crops over the last 10 years
and one of the most basic things you need to learn is stick with a strain for a few crops so you can learn how to grow it, growing 10 different strains every crop is just going to mess your
head up and your not learning anything as every plant reacts different to light, nutes, temps etc

you have removed too many leaves in early late flower so it has really reduced your yield, your light to high above the canopy should be 10" and the temps can go up to 35c without any problems infact the plants grow better at high temps weeks 3 to 2 weeks before harvest

your plants very stressed out, could be over watering or you have overfeed the plants, the list goes on mate and i have most the answers

if you keep you feed light and don't over do it, you don't need to flush in soil

i would remove every fan leaf off the plant, and cut back longer leaves before cutting the plant down, its a lot easier, after i would cut the branches but keep them as long as you can

you need to hang a line in your flower room, or could use a clothes airer or make something up

so you can hang the branches to dry, it takes longer but the buds dry even so the buds taste better :)

the room needs a good airflow so keep the fans on low,

about the temps, keep the room about 20c and the buds should dry in 7-10 days, ready to be cured in glass jars, for up to 6 mouths ( but can last years) , if you have any left by them lol

lol i dont think i will have any left..... do u have the extracter fan on while drying mate...?

keeping the extractor fan on low will remove a lot of the humidity in the room and reduce the risk of the buds rot

without extractor fan on, your humidity will go up quick and all the buds could be moldy in 24hours if your unlucky

most of my plants are outdoor in veg.I have only put about 5 pics of flowering plants on here i aint been on here that long.
i got told to remove some of the smaller leaves as there was a load that were blocking the light to the bud and it was a very leafy looking plant.so i did about a month ago.
which i dont usually do.i dont like removing leaves but took a guys advice.
I havent flushed them just clean water for two weeks.
i always keep my lamp around 14 inch off the canopy (u rekon thats too high)i dont wanna scorch em ive seen it bad where the calyx have all gone white and funny looking and produced piss weak weed.
Could be overwatering as im not in there everyday like i was,before i done my back so im giving them more than usual so i dont have to bother them as much.
Ill take anyones advice into considerstion thats why im on this forum.

im on this forum to ask advice is all.so i dunno were your getting that from.
i would never say i know it all.actually thats you saying that mate.
i was told to remove a 1/4 of the leaves a month in with this strain,i dont usually defoliate.
ive only put about 5 pics of flowering plants on here as ive only been on a few month.
cheers for your time tho!
It could be overwatering as i havent been able to get in there everyday like i was,since my back went my life has gone down hill and i know its affecting all parts of my life including the plants health.
My pal had a few going he had his lamp 8 inch off canopy it caused the tops to turn white and produced weak weed.
thats why i keep my lamp 14 inch above.
the blackjack leaves have only turned brown last couple of days the chemdawg looks fine for only vegged a week with no lst.youll probz say its crap but was only a experiment.
