Hello dear Community,
im having some Problems with my Plant but i cant seem to figure out what is wrong with her, maybe some of you can Help me. :)
So i addet some more Soil and Lime on Top of the older Soil for Nutrients and PH. The Run off PH is about 6.2 now.Had earlier Problems with the PH, Run off was 5.5.
Today i watered her again with PH adjusted Water and i will see how she does.
Anyone any ideas what could be wrong and how much longer till she is ready to Harvest?



Setup: 2x 75W(375W) 6500k 2x 15W(75W) 2700k 1x 23W(103W) 6500k 20L Bucket, Growing in Gardol Soil with Micronutrients & Perlite Nutrients List: - Nitrogen: 300mg/l - Phosphate: 270mg/l - Potassium: 350mg/l - Magnesium: 50mh/l - Sulfur: 230mg/l

Some Pictures(with x30 & x60 Zoom aswell): https://imgur.com/a/0gGwU


Planning to Harvest some when Trichomes are Half Clear/Cloudy and then the Rest later on.

Patient young padawan must be, too early it is to chop. 70 percent cloudy she must be.

Seriously though, be patient. She should be about 70% cloudy 25% clear and 5% amber. I disagree with Roger on harvesting before having no amber trichomes. Harvesting before this will cause a weak high that won't last. No sense in wasting all that hard work for a bunch of quick highs that go out the window 10mins after you smoke.

Another 2 weeks and she should be good. Your pistils will brown up, about 90% of them and will begin to recede, this with the trichome ratio above will give you good bud every time. The window for harvest is different plant to plant even in the same genome.

Also 6.2 runoff is a bit high. You want your runoff 5.6 to 5.8. That window of PH allows for the most nutrient pickup during osmosis to occur in the plant, allowing nutrients to flow freely to where they need to go.

Well the reason i was planning to Harvest that early is, i always get that feeling of being Burned out. Just recently smoked some Amnesia Haze, it was decent Quality (all i buy is street weed which seems decent but nothing too special) and i always feel burned out no matter if its supposed to be Sativa or Indica. :/
Any Advices on that maybe?

and i don't understand why 6.2 Run Off in Soil is too High, could you explain?

As far as always feeling burnt out...not sure some people just get sleepy after a j don't know what to tell you if you're seeing same result with both sativa and indica.

6.2 isn't going to harm your plant but it's not going to be able to transfer all the nutrients that it could in the 5.6-5.8 PH window. Can't explain to you why certain nutrients are missed at certain PH levels but they are. Those values are usually for water cultures but I find soiless acts much the same as a hydro setup in that sense.

But, going back and reading your OP, my apologies, your in real soil so your PH is good. lol my bad.

I personally like to harvest at 90/10 cloudy/amber, was just trying to say that 50/50 is way too early.
Yea got that, was not planning to Harvest too much just like 1-2 little branches. So the Trichomes have influence on the High you get later on from the Bud?
What should i look out for when im looking for a rather Energetic High instead of Couchlook.
Have been looking quiet some Stuff up why i could be feeling burned out all the Time after smoking, did not come Across a Answer yet. :/
So just asking in case you know anything about that. :)

Well a part of it is strain dependant, but in general, if you harvest with very few trichs that have turned amber/brown, it will be more of a daytime cerebral high, that allows you to function, but doesn't hit as hard or last as long. If you wait till you have at least ten to fifteen percent amber/brown, then you get the hard hitting, long lasting, fucked up high.

The burned out feeling could just be you're tired in general, and the weed relaxed you, so it hits you harder. It could be you've started to get stronger weed, and haven't become accustomed to it yet. It could be that the weed you've been getting has been a little immature, and now you're getting more mature product.....or it could be a toomah

Thanks for the Info Bud!
and some Info to my Girl, i tried to keep the Lights as close as possible, literally so it may be a Light Burn, what do you think?
I got it bit more away from the Girl gonna see how she does.

Im glad i could get some Help. Makes my Day somewhat brighter :)
