I love both highs, Ive got some Master Kush a strong couch lock indica goin on, and I have Jock Horror a mostly sativa strain from Nirvana, the Kush Im gonna let mature for the serious couch lock effect for those rainy days with a stack of movies and the Jock will by smoke a bowl and go to work or kayak or just have some fun type of high.

Too many people get really really into the whole the "man you gotta use these nutrients, or no not today you gotta wait 34 hours 13 minuts and 45 seconds to start your flush and then harvest exactly 1 week 24 hours and 5 minutes to be perfect." I say grow pot the way you want to do it and have FUN. learn what you can from you plants, make them happy and you will be happy, I just posted an update of my little ones motif.

and of course your fan leaves look like crap, BUT HEY the buds are still lime green and looking very delicious, just learn what you can and next grow, you can prevent and cure.

yeah the buds look excellent despite the ugly foliage around them :shock:

. Since i got an indica AND sativa, maybe ill go for the couchlock indica and the mindfuck sativa :weed:

I dont think they are ready to be flushed yet. I would push another week to two, some of those plants look like they could take even more time. Sometimes it just takes time... There will be a point when about 1/3 of the pistils are turned red/brown. I start flushing about then. Usually the tops all mature the fastest and I let those go longer to let the other stuff catch up. You get the whole spectrum of hghs on one plant this way... not of it matures at the same exact rate. WOW, I just realized Im smoking this IOTA strain and am SUPER DUPER stoney... good night ...LOL

actually both of my plants are maturing faster from the bottom UP. However, these colas keep spitting out random nugs from all directions and it continues to fatten up :hump:

So to say the least, im not dissapointed when you guys say let it keep going, its still growing!

yea man i agree those hairs just aint red enough and plus i agree with motif on this one,,the foliage is very damaged which will stunt the growth of the plant.They just dont look RIPE enough..keep postin pics man we aint gonna let you overflower..Grow those clear trichs out before harvest.

So are you saying there shud be no clear trichs visible when its ready? Yeah i know the plant looks hideous cuz of the foliar damage :sad:

But the buds are unaffected and look goodies. Thx for checkin in guys, i will certainly keep you updated. Sorry im kinda m.i.a. recently, got a new job and its working me 6x a week 10 hrs a day :spew:

Been watching and looks like you could use some Cal-Mag.
That yellowing looks to be a deficiency of calcium.
I don't remember do you use RO or filtered water? Sometimes a little Cal-Mag will help RO water.

thats exactly what i use; at a rate of 2.5ml per gallon. i fill the buckets about a half gallon less from full, so 4.5 (gallons) multiplied by 2.5 = 11.25 ml. Thats how much i use

Buds are looking great mate. They've swelled up nicely.
Foliage looks like shit but we don't smoke that do we?
Buds are looking nice and dense but still have a little way to go I think.
You still have a lot of white stigma on them.
What are your trichs telling you?

sativa monster, reduced nutes back to regular feeding, no more fucking around trying new things, back to the basics till chop chop.

How much longer would you guys think for the sativa? because its gonna have to come down one way or another before august gets here.. think itll be harvest time before then??

tahoe58 · Jun 27, 2009

hey there motif. they have really been advancing well haven't they. they really are going to turn out wonderful. excellent save from your challenges earlier. I am new enough that the final timing is something I keep watching and learning. Seems like ur getting some good advice on that timing. they have been swelling up phat phat phat in the last couple of weeks for sure .... good luck with this ..... Walk On!~

That is exactly how mine start to look when I start my end routine. Good job on the patience, it will pay off. You will notice a difference here in the next week or so. The calyxes will swell and close off and the plant will look...done... LOL. Of course you can use a scope, but I haven't needed to the last several times.

1st Day Pre-Harvest Flush

--------------------------------------

- Botanicare Cal/Mag (2-0-0) 2.5ml per Gallon

- Botanicare Sweet (0-0-0) 40ml per Gallon

This will increase the firmness and potency of flavor by enhancing the production of essential oils.
