Arlton's first coco run

Hey everyone my first coco run is underway the seedlings just got an amazing hold in the coco after transplant. The plants are on a drip system with mills nutrients on board everything is looking great and taking off nicely photos to co.e in a couple hours hoping for a good result of all of this. More info to come soon

As promised pictures of the ladys there are 2 super silver hazes an afgani and a moby dick. Im feeding mills nutrients currently about 600ppm. The ladies seem to be loving it. I will be updating things frequently. Any and all advice is welcome dont wanna miss anything.

Coco looks very dry my friend. Did you happen to take this right before a feeding? If not I would be changing up your feed timer to feed a little earlier

Yea it was taken before a feeding. Ill do an update later tonight or tomorrow depends when i get off work.

I will they are looking amazing i just found these. They have had a slight hair cut since but those pictures are less than a week old.

Sorry since it took me so long to update things have been crazy. But did some lst to the ladies cause they are getting a little big for the current space. Next time i will only be using 2 gallon pots at the biggest the ones im using are to big i feel.

Taken this am the flip will be happening in the next day but they are getting big. Cant wait to see if Mills really pays the bills.

I just switched the lights to 12 and 12 more bondage will be needed to keep everything in check there will be some changes in the grow room this evening once the lights come on. I will give an update then along with pictures

So after my plans went to crazy i got a new flower room built and everything squared away whoch took me 3 times as long as it should have by the way (damn job) i will be on here later with a full update.

Here is an update. After the new flower room construction my temps are 75 degrees and my humidity is a little high but once i get my exhaust fan up and running that problem should be solved.

After a couple of days of letting my exhaust system run my humidity is higher than i would like to see i will be hooking up a second fan for the carbon filter and have a dedicated fan to cool the lights. I think the filter is restricting the fan to much to properly cool the room. Even with the high humidity the ladies are still looking healthy.

Sorry its been solong since an update tgere has been no time. Pics are taken today and its about halfway through week 4

I harvested the moby dick plant today sorry for the poor quality of the pictures ill post final weights once its dried and trimmed

Why did you pull? They still had a about two weeks. The buds haven't swollen up yet, and look how long those white hairs are. Next time either get a microscope to check trichomes or learn the few things to look for when harvested i.e pistols turning color from white and curling. Problem is that there are some strains whose hairs will stay white, so getting a jeweler loop or microscope will allow you to get up and close with the trichomes on your plant. If you google when to harvest cannabis, you will see a bunch of info on how to use the microscopes and what to look for.

I checked them with a microscope and all the trichs are cloudy i probably should have done a partial harvest to give the lower buds more time to ripen but i was running out of space and had to get that big gal out of the flower room so i could move more plants in there

The trichomes check is a good way to tell if your harvest is done, but it's not always a guarantee. The white pistils will retract, turn orange (or another color depending on strain), and look at the calyxes. As the harvest time gets closer the pistils will change color from white to rust-colored orange or brown. This is a sign that your plant is at the end of its life, and is ready for harvest. If you look at your pics, you can see that your pistils have much longer to go. You should have not only let the bottom go longer, but the entire plant. To me the important thing would be that your plants don't look like shit, and you were really only a few weeks away. If you wait longer next time, you will have a decent little harvest. You should also try some training and lollipopping techniques to get some bigger colas next time.

I will definitely let them go longer next time and do more lst she stretched alot more than I was expecting and i improvised to make it work. There will definitely be more lollipoping next time as well

I hate to barge in on this thread but i could really use some help determining if my plants are ready to harvest yet. I have posted some pictures of the trics. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I would have hacked those down already.
