I found that if you you mix in some dolomite lime into your soil its prevents alot of Ph/nute problems or add cal/mag, I found out after some big problems in my second grow

That's good advice and, if you haven't already done it, I'd recommend working 2 teaspoons of lime per gallon of soil into the top inch of soil (careful of your roots..). Use calcium carbonate lime if you can find it -- releases faster than dolomite, but won't overshoot. Dolomite is best when you put it in your soil mix up front, and it's able to release over time.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I'll add lime to the shopping list. Thanks Kriegs for the tip on the trichs, after looking at them at an angle I think they are still mostly clear. Rep for everyone, thank you.

Here's a pic that shows some sorry state of affairs. I understand the yellowing in the late stages of blooming is okay but after looking back at what I have fed this thing(3ml/2gal water of Age Old bloom in the last month because I thought the end was here) I believe some of this is also lacking nutes. You can see my red/purple stem in the background, as well as the yellow and dead leaves. I'm now getting yellow leaves on the buds and I swear the buds almost look like they are starting to yellow also! Someone mentioned "foxtails", yes I think I'm getting some new foxtails and it's increasing weight at this point I think.

So... the water I gave over the weekend. I gave 2 gallons of water with 5ml or Age Old Bloom and 5ml of Earth Juice(both 1/2 strength, I think), hoping that I have a couple weeks left here. I know, some said just water. I'm Hoping it will help the buds mature and help any last minute weight gains. I'm hoping I have a couple weeks left and I can flush a few days before with Clearex and everything will be okay. Trying to guess when it's going to happen and stop nutes in time without starving the thing is harder than I thought!

What do you guys think? Am I stupid for doing thist? Let me know.

You think it's got 2 more weeks left in it?

So the final update to this saga as harvest time has come. The last post on 3/16, water plus nutes were given. A week ago plain water was given, and today it was harvested. Honestly it probably could have gone even longer. Most trichs were cloudy, some clear and some amber and some without heads that looked like shit. It's over 100 days since the seed cracked and over 80 days in bloom. The main cola weighed in at 2 oz wet. We'll see what everything weighs after it dries. Not a huge amount here but you know what? I don't have to buy anything now. This will last me for the next year and it's not bad smoke. Without CFL's this wouldn't have happened.

My main problem here was the lack of nutes. Thinking it was chop time I would hold back the nutes and give just water, then a week later still more time is needed so I would give just water and no nutes. Still not time plain water again. Doing it over again I would give nutes up till the very end then flush. The buds look nice but there are yellow and brown leaves in the buds that won't come out without messing them all up.

Thanks everyone for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do u have any pics of her after or right before harvest? i'm curious on how it looks lol
