Hey whats up this is my first grow and i think i am ready to cut the plant down. 600w hps.
securedownload1.jpgsecuredownload2.jpgsecuredownload3.jpgI have used fox farm HP/OF and basicly have only watered the plant with normal tap that has sat out a few days.
Today is day 56 week 8... and thats when theese pics were taken. The plant im showing is a tga chernobly i think and fan leaves are yellowing out and shriveling up pretty bad im thinking that it needs to be cut because is proably stressin out/ its ready to be harvested? i really need some help here, what do yall think? ive looked at the trics with my 40x jewlers loupe and i just cant really tell i need a dam usb scope. i pretty sure there are not that many more clear ones... its just so hard to really examine the trichome with a loup.

I think it needs to swell more, seeing a lot of long white hairs. But on the other hand all strains show maturity in different ways. I'm still learning.

Looks like a deficiency. It's pretty late in its grow but why put so much love into something and let it get sick at the end. I'd give it some nutes. I think the dead leaves won't recover but the rest of the plant will not suffer so much. Just do lots of homework before you harvest. I've seen chernobyl stay green without adding nitrogen during flower. Good luck man. It'll be awesome when you get it figured out.

yeah i dont know what to do with it. i know it will be good smoke im just wondering i know those fan leaves are shot should i cut them off and let it keep flowering... from what ive read ot normal for plants to yellow out and do this near the end. im using just fox farm soil too with no nutes. what should i do... im not gonna give it nutes its too late so its basicly chop it or cut the fan leaves off and let it completlly finish

Your pistils haven't even started shriveling up yet. It is not too late to add nutes, that plant is CRAVING some high PK nutes and probably even a little nitrogen. 8 weeks is an AVERAGE finishing time, not a rule. I know you are excited but don't jump the gun! You have waited this long dude you can wait a little longer. Would you rather get a little high for 45 minutes to an hour or get fucked up for 4 hours? That will be the difference between cutting it now and waiting.

I use a 30x to 60x or higher loupe...these mature eyes (not old,lol) need the help they can,also on a budget..this is what I use,takes a moment to arrive ,I'm really glad to get it...She will smoke well for you when you do harvest,you've given her a lot of love ..Also open your mind to the suggestions about nutes ,from earlier in thread..i would cut the dead leaves off ..only if they are dead all the way ,if they have green let them stay on until they die ...:joint: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052G7EX8/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A pH of 6 is not too high for soil. If anything, it is a little too low. The ideal range for soil is 6.5-6.8. The deficiency is most likely being caused because by now the plant has used up most of the nutrients in the soil. You could go to home depot and get some bone meal and sprinkle it on your soil and then water. Not the most effective method but it is better than nothing. I am getting the feeling that, for what ever reason, you are adverse to going out and buying any kind of concentrated nutrients so if you have any happy frog left, you might want to add a layer of new soil on top of the roots and then water really well. Again, not the most effective method but it will get a little bit of food to the plant.

he is right man

6.5 6.8 is ideal for soil

and u can feed .................the only thing i can say i have learned fox farm feed line does phatten the hell out of them but the PHing of the water is a bitch ........the go box does very very nice too just rem to use the liquid fish even tho it makes bugs come to it(go box is organic so does not need PHing)

im going to feed it neptunes fish and seaweed next watering and see if that helps since u are saying the ph is not a problem. but by looking at the plant u can tell its a P problem, the ph of the ocean forrest i think is too high . and i dont think there is anyway that plant has used up all the nutes it just cant get them... u know what i mean anyways it really dosent matter those leaves on the plant are not gonna recover... ive seen people cut off fan leaves late into harvest as well soo. i think im just gonna continue to let it ripen but its just gonna look like shit as my friend said it...

I read that wrong at first too. I think he is just saying that since there is so much filling in for the plant to do that he wouldn't do it yet. And don't go buy the 50% hair thing, go by the trichome color. When they start turning amber instead of milky white, it is time. By then most of the hairs will have withered and pulled back in and swollen. I am guessing at another 2 weeks.

go to amazon........order the go box and 250mls of budcandy.......plus some 1 ml pipettes .........run yah 60 bucks or less

when it gets to you use the go box week 8 plan ..........fallow it add in 1/2 the normal budcandy (instead of 8 mls only use 4 mls to a gallon)

that will finsh off the plants and it is organic (so no foul taste in smoke with no flushing) ...............the bio bud i used it all the way to the end 1 ml to 32 oz of water but that was me personally

Man also, cut the yellow out. Bugs are naturally attracted to yellow. Also, those are dead so remove them. With the loup, try putting it up to your eye and then bending over and getting close to the bud until its clear. You have to be close. Practice with a small piece of leaf...even with the dead that you cut out. They take some getting used to, but work really well and are easy to carry.
