Even though shes a day or two behind in swelling compared to one.and.two she is still a monster. Other photo is of the grow.

Like to hear your input along with opinion on number two. From.what i can see im not seeing brown spots to indicate calmag on that small leaf.

Thanks all

Is a bit of yellowing alright? I may reduce the additives a bit if it continues. Are they considered in heavy bloom yet? As yellowing is normal in heavy bloom.

In 4 hours they'll be in day 38. I sawt that day 56-57 is the proper chop day. The tension is building up. Puts butterflies in my stomach xD

Thanks Crazy :3!

they're more towards week 5 but this strain is has a short flowering period, i would say its heavy bloom since they're gonna put on some real weight in the next few weeks, this is when it get really interesting. those comparisons are gonna start blowing your mind.
and towards week 6 or 7 is when i stop regarding yellowing, not that this is a bad thing either, just means shes using her fan leaves, which are also secondary energy sources. you can fix it with nitrogen but if its just a leaf or two id let it be. maybe up your N a tad(very little), should slow it down a bit, but when it happens in the next few weeks i wouldnt worry about it, i take it as a sign that shes almost finished. make sure your still feeding her much more P and K though, N towards the end of flower doesnt have positive effects honestly.

this is what they can usually look like a few days from harvest, notice the fan leaves are yellow however the bud leaves stay green, thats how you know its just feedin off of em rather than any sort of nutrient deficiency, honestly i think it speeds up the fattening a bit since they know theyre almost out of N, so they know they wont be putting off any new leafy growth, thus putting all energy towards swelling.

I am really excited. The difference in just two days is insane. And they are just going to get bigger xD. Maybe yellowing occurred because they were underfed a day while I was gone. It doesn't seem major so I am not too worried.

I wanted to dry a tiny nug in 2 weeks for a test run for the 4th of July. I did it on my last plant but sometimes its not always a good idea. I know growers sometimes do so, but what do you do? I would most definitely wait though since they are no where near the potency they'll be in a couple weeks.

Thanks again Crazy. Awesome to have you here and to talk to. Hope everyone else is doing good and will be around soon :3.

for sure, i can tell more calyxs popped up over the last few days, a really noticeable amount too. big bud tends to do those types of things, i used to grow bubba wreck that had some big bud in its lineage, the fatness just seems to pop up overnight sometimes. that could be the problem too, when they're this far along though a yellow leaf isnt anything to fuss about really, just means the fan leaves are serving one of their purposes. as for the test nug thing, 4th of july could be a good idea but whenever i take samples i always regret it, idk why but i just feel like if i left it on there it would have been well worth it, if your trying to judge when to chop, i usually wait till i see a lot of amber hairs popping up, some people take the next step and get a microscope but i honestly just look out for 50% milky and 50% amber and yellowing leaves are also a sign they're close. once the leaves progress to around the middle of the plant is when i plan on chopping, it can differ with some strains though, some have less leaves so sometimes hairs are the best way to judge, not to mention the top buds usually mature faster so letting the bottom run for an extra week is a good idea. always great to talk to other growers too, i love sharing experience cause imo knowledge is meant to be shared and forums are a perfect place for it, they're also perfect when you wanna see some quality buds when all you have is some plants in veg, which gets sorta boring to look at sometimes haha. people usually just stand by and creep on threads too, and most of us go on riu more towards the evening too, ive started to notice that over the years.

Yeah my trich scope is hanging waiting for use. Iys 60x-100x.

Female seeds specified to not go longer than 8 weeks as it is nearing over done. So i guess in two weeks ill start looking at what those trichs look like.

Really aiming for all cloudy trichs, maybe a tiny bit of amber. Its really just time now from here on out..but not much time :3.

Im hoping for at least 2 ounces a plant. Hopefully more is possible, but no worries either way. As I have TONS of seed and i will be ready for germ again around a week after chop.

And your absolutely right. if no one shared knowledge who knows where we would all be in any situation.

Thanks again:3.

sounds like your well equipped for harvest :)
as for the trich thing, depends what you like really, i find more amber hairs usually causes more of a couchlock high, more milky is sort of uppity, but all bud can bring you down if you smoke too much of it. 2 ozs per plant sounds quite possible, maybe more, maybe less, but im gonna say 2 zips is a pretty good estimate. and rollitup has helped me plenty of times, im sure i would have added another plant to my graveyard(compost pile) without the help of the loyal users on here. btw what beans you got set up for the next run?

Next run, which is Id say a month away from start, is going to be quite insane.

See I had 4 WWXBB seeds, but I started the girls in 5gal. Buckets rather than any transplants. I couldn't fit all four buckets under the one light when they were babies so I just did three and saved a seed. Ill start smaller next run allowing 4 girls.

Next lineup is:

1x Bubblegummer from Female Seeds.
1x Pure AK from Female Seeds
1x Exodus Kush from DNA Genetics
..and the one I am MOST excited about...
1x Sensi Star from Paradise seeds.

The most pricey seeds I bought were the Exodus Kush and the the Sensi Star. Great breeders come with a price. I have 6 Exodus Kush Fem. Which cosr 125 after shipping and all..and 5 Sensi Star Fem. That was the exact same price. Lulz two orders on 420 cost 250 xD but it was so worth it.

Rather than all the same plant its going to turn into an insane color jungle xD.

And what really intrigues me is the Sensi Stars potency, measuring in at 20-22% thc. It also lists on paradise seeds all the awards and cups it won, and its quite a long list xD

should be a pretty interesting grow, if your lookin for good prices on grade A genetics check out sanniesshop.com or rcmcollective.ca, i think the sensi star, AK and exodus cheese were good choices though.

Thanks Cat. Definitely noticing a slight lean in number one as they are putting on some weight.

They are currently in day 40 of darkness. Im.wondering if they'll be ready in 17-20 days. Looks like ill have to whip the trich scope out in a couple weeks just to look.

on a normal grow without any hiccups it would be about 2 weeks to go maybe a touch more. definitely get the scope out and look for the amber trichs in 2 weeks then you have to take the flush into account as well. i like to flush for at least 14 days which helps with the colouring of pistles and crystals. loving the resilience of this strain, ph probs and near catastophic cal probs and it looks like your gonna have a decent smoke at the end.

have you split a popcorn bud to see if its hermied yet (the little calyx on the main stem)

I actually went ahead, just because I was curious, and looked at some trichs last night. Quite amazing to see how some are cloudy, but some are also clear still. Different areas of the plant, like the top cola compared to popcorn buds, also shows a difference.

And I haven't cut any popcorn off yet. I wanted to dry a nugget out for the 4th of July, so should I just do so now? Take a baby bud off, hang it to dry, then split it before smoke within a week?

I am also about to do an update, both photos and video :D. Very shortly that is, the Mrs. is behind me napping and is complaining of the keyboard noise >.<.

Also when is the best time to start flushing? Today they are going into day 41. Maybe another week of food and calmag then convert to flushing?

Whats the proper amount to flush them, as well as how often?

Thanks:3
