My plants lost their smell second week into bloom. Any ideas why?

What does it mean if your fan leaves only have 3 leaves? Does that mean its male? Do males still grow buds?

Age and genetics. They don't mean male or female. Male plants will produce pollen sacks and female will produce flowers. Hermie plants will have both!

Thanks, That's what I thought. I showed the funky leaf to someone to diagnose and she said only males have 3. I would have sexed them long ago right? I got clones and they guaranteed me females. I wasn't going to get that deep my first time, Just growing and learning is plenty. There's SOOO MUCH to learn. I'm gonna stop the bone meal. I was told the little marks were bug bites? But better safe than sorry. They seem to be doing great, just those few leaves and no more popping up.

Whoever said those were males doesn't know what they are talking about. You would know if they were males by now as you would see the pollen sacks as well as see them opening up to seed your crop! Most clones that you get from dispensaries are female but there are a few shady characters out there to make a quick buck and will just clip clones off any cannabis plant, male or female! Those little marks weren't bug bites from what I could see. It just looked like they were overfed and may have a deficiency.

I agree with you. What do u think the deficiency might be? I was worried about go much phosphorus with the Kool Bloom. I just don't know what I'm looking for or at. This first year is hard, and expensive! I've put so much time, energy , worry and TLC I just don't want to F it up. You and the people on here are my only source of guidance and help. I went into this with someone else and they bailed and I'm flying blind. I ask questions and research constantly but there's SOOOO MUCH more to it than I thought. I just wanna help some people out of their pain if I can. Hopefully also myself in the journey. I KNOW pain, I live in it all day every day.

Ive looked at a million photos today and the closest to it is calcium deficiency! Which would make sense, I stopped the bone meal and 2 days later it started!

I just tested the run off from my soil and its 7.0. Isn't the range u want 6.0-7.0 ?

You're overthinking it!

That pH is fine for soil. You could probably feed them nothing but water till harvest and still get some nice buds! Less is more sometimes with fertilizers

Thank you SO MUCH for still helping me. This makes me frantic! So many variables. It's only the big, old fan leaves that it were looking funky. Could they be starting to die?

The big fans dying off is a normal thing. Less is more like @innerG said above.

Hi, so I'm a but confused about trichomes. Do you harvest when a trichomes itself half Amber/ cloudy or when a percentage of 50 of the amount of trichomes are Amber? I'm cutting it at 60-70 on the GDP though right ABM?

Howdy, how do u know when to flush? Is it 11 weeks regardless?? And is it at the end of 11 wekks of going into? Then after flush do u just water or is it time to dry the plant out before harvest?

Keep
It
Simple,
Silly.

Thanks, iJust don't wanna blow it this close

You can go to whatever percentage of amber you like. I like 50/50 or so. On the GDP I would wait a little longer but that's just me.

Flushing is just watering basically. You are trying to get most the nutes out of the soil and have the plant just intaking water. I start to flush (stop feeding) about a week before I think that I will be harvesting and don't look back. That one week usually turns to 2 and then I chop.

H i, can you tell how long I have til harvest from looking at these pics? I'm watching through a scope but would love to know from sight!

Molasses is absolutely beneficial or a product that does the same thing no doubt I'd never not use molasses towards the end of flower

Everyone's got there own techniques though and not using molasses doesn't mean your doing it wrong just experiment ..... But you being a new grower I would have to agree with the above post keep it simple until you get more comfortable nothing wrong with that at all Good luck and lots of good info and tips on here happy growing guys

Looks like just a few weeks maybe!
