Anybody have any color changes like this on their SLH? She's at 55 days flowering currently, pics were more like 33 days (green) and 50 days (colors and fading of fans). I have another Slh that is slightly further along but after a week of flowering she went yellow and I haven't had any color changes w this one. All of my Churchs turned when I regulated night temps. Alot of the fan leaves have dropped by now and the ones that remain are pale yellow, like a good fading plant would but is it too early?

I Flower My SLH Plants for 90 Days And They Never Looked Like that Every Now and then get a couple purple Leaves ...90 days In with a week long flush and My leaves are all still green ... that looks like a problem :(

I've watched all of your videos and enjoyed throughly your "harvest every week" series. Your temps are higher than mine, although I'm not sure what your night temps are. Im in pro-mix with 7 ph (thats how my PM stays). The calyx are almost three times the size as my other SLHs (all clones from same mother) and its super frosty and smells to high heaven of Sour Patch kids candy.

Micro the trics man, a plant is done when its done some are sooner than others but the trics will tell....

I dont think it's done brother, just wondering as to the color changes and early fading. The trichomes on this plant are slightly more milky than clear, it's on a steady progress of turning milky like it should, but this is a long ass flowering strain 12 weeks, Bauks lets his go for 90 days (and his slh rocks). I use Fox Farm (Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, the tri solubles open seas. beast. cha ching, sledgehammer), bud blood, purple maxx, gravity, liquid karma, great white, sweet, all at reduced levels and an EC that doesn't exceed 1.0-1.2. The temps in the tent get to 66-70 depending on window side, and of course this one is on the window side. I'm hoping it's not some micro deficiency or something, especially since it's appearing (colors aside) to be the best of the best in my garden. And I definitely appreciate the views and replies that I've gotten thus far.

I'd go out on a limb to say I think the Ph Might be just a bit high And that may be causing some lockout maybe try flushing it in a 5.5 water for a bit see if It doesn't perk up a bit If you intend to let it go a bit longer..... It looks pretty close to harvest-able :) Any way you cut it It looks wicked ;)

it's soiless mix it always stays at 7.0, and I always ph my water to 6.0. Bauks I really appreciate your input brother, your vids got me onto this strain for sure. I want to let it go as long as possible (she hasn't even hit 9 weeks yet). When does this strain put on most of its weight?

Ahh i see what you mean it's inert And the PH Is constant (the soil itself) >.< that makes sense..... week 10-ish Is were I see Most of the weight and Trichs get Put on SLH...
From the Pics Yours look pretty close to done Just let the Trichs Roll On as long as possible .......Amber FTW :)

A few pics I snapped of her this morning...she's now at day 74, and just now am I starting to see amber trichromes, but not many...I plan on at least another week...any opinions?

SLH feeds fairly heavily during peak bloom. I have to keep her well fed to keep from fading early, which with this strain particularly affects yield.

its weird-

that i run promix also and have found it to be acid. its actually how i discovered make it rain. i couldn't explain what was happening, though, until i met riddle(my water was 5.8 out of the tap)

anyway i run 3 TBS per gallon soil dolomite lime, and water through at about 8.5(after 5.5 rain of course) and it relieves these exact symptoms. underfeeding only exacerbate the issue.

Im not sure if I follow you Murfy, but I ph my water to 6.3-5, out of tap here its at about 8.0, all the ProMix I've used this run has stayed at 7.0, I've got another SLH that I left untopped (like the one photo'd) several weeks behind this one and I haven't gotten the early fade this one got and the bud sites are further developed earlier than these were. I'd say it is doing much better, although I think I will enjoy this one also. The only difference in feeding was with Sweet...I was using manufactuer's recommended dosages because I figured you can't 'overfeed' the microbes in the soil. Maybe this was the cause to fading early i dont know

No, it's not the sweet, I can assure you of that. There has to be some other variable you're not catching. Maybe the pH drifted out of range?

There would have to be....the entire bail of Promix always stayed at 7.0, even the little that I have left will read 7.0 out of the bag, which is what I expected because it is a soiless mix. I have since changed over to Just Right Xtra and 25% perlite. I had read somewhere that the excessive sugars or citric acids could cause early fading, and I was using 20ml per gallon every watering, but I inspected my notes and I haven't given it any purple maxx or gravity ( I was using these products to see if I could cut down on other nutes). I will post some more pics. Do you use alot of the sweet? How long does your SLH generally take to finish?

I don't currently use Sweet, but I've used it extensively in the past. My SLH goes for ten weeks, like clockwork. I average between 3-4 oz per plant with 30 day veg under
t-5's.
