BY GOSH I THINK SHE's READY!!! What do you think???

On one side of the bud she is still clear & she looks like she could go another week, but on the other side there are alot of amber Trich's. I think she's READY FREDDY.............what do you guys think??

As always it's your call. Looks close enough through my eyes. When I'm in doubt I always wait another 5 days then chop.

I think I'll flush her today & harvest her in 8 to 10 days if she holds out that long....Thanks!

Try and hold off a bit, she is nice, but keep checking trichs from buds throughout the plant.

not yet
your looking good but no where ready yet the dew drop or the head of the tricromes/resin gland can be swelled up alot more

in your feed plan u need to add some simple sugar complex sulfate magnesium and some else i have to go look up the spelling

basically u want

and
https://www.advancednutrientsonline.com/proddetail.php?prod=budcandy

use both of those and i promise u will get a bigger gland head with a higher THC result (run test now for months i got proof it works)

starting on Sugar daddy and Terpinator

if it is auto plant if the leaves are not yellowing up then it is not done and feed this to the plant untill it is done.....if it a photo 3 weeks of this and u will thank me

if u can hit the plant with UV and 10K light for 5 days then back to flowering for 10 then 6 days of UV and 10k light
that will thicken and push more resins out ........u can flush and use the UV/10k light cycle to make the plant use up what it has left and the water in the planter before cuttting

UVB light not UVC or A

always wear protection for your eyes if u enter during light cycle for UV light

Justugh, you my friend are the shit!!

np man

just so u know the pic u see is a actor who played doctor who on tv in the 60/70s
ep 191 the assassins 5:21 secs in from start he admits to smoking hash and uses a hookah to escape from guards allowing the whole story to play out

Hey #4.....Hmm, a baked, Baker - couldn't resist. Great episode though.
Hey @tripleD

You can make a tric&terp enhancer for Far, FAR less money then you would spend. some say it works a tad better then the store bought!

Botanicare's Sweet Raw works pretty good for what it is. (Just another form of "bud candy")
BUT - $65 a gallon is simply stupid! Make your own (that's better) for about a buck ($1) a gallon !!!

8 TBL Epsom salts
1 1/2 tsp DARK brown sugar
1 gallon RO
1 Opaque gallon jug

Bring to a full boil 4 cups of the RO water.
Add the dry ingr. and stir for about 3min to be sure everything is in solution.

Pour the hot water into the gallon jug containing the rest of the water and cover and shake well.

You now have "sweet raw" that works better then Botanicare's!

Use
5ml per gallon in the last week before the light flip.
10ml per for 3 weeks after the flip
15ml per till week 6
20ml per till harvest

You will increase trich and terp production quite nicely....

Depending where those pics are located on the plant. The plant could be ready........Sugar leaves and amber's = not quite yet!
Calyx's getting amber's = Harvest now.

Don't flush please = you don't need to!
Slow dry and a proper cure!

Nice mix, I'm gonna try it . I have unsultured blackstrap molasses, would that have any benefit? I know it's mainly for feeding micros in soil, but I think some use it in late flower? IDK, I'd like to help keep the ladies happy but no cash for exotic 12 bottle lineups lol. If I can root around in the kitchen for nutes I'm doing that

AN Bud Candy.. haven't noticed any difference when I've used it. Same with their Liquid Carboload which is basically the same thing, but without the supposedly flavor altering parts. I guess sugars only work if you have some bacteria to feed.

It feeds the bio's mainly.....I used to do the Molasses thing in late bloom and when I didn't anymore. I didn't notice a real difference so I don't anymore.

I've never run AN Bud Candy but, by the labeling it has a very different concentration and chemistry over Sweet Raw and mine is much closer to the Sweet with very good results as far as the increasing goes.

Several members here use my formula and say it works better for increasing trich's and terp's then other wallet busting store bought stuff.....Of hand one of them is Cobnobler and he loves it...

It's cheap! Give it a shot!

Hey Doc, I'm running Auto's on a straight 18/6 light cycle so when (and how often) should I feed your 'sweet raw' recipe to my auto's??
Also, I've read sooooooo many different opinions on how to cure, so I was just hoping to get your version if you don't mind... I've been using the K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid) method of burping my mason jars for 5 minutes twice a day (soon as I wake up & right before I go to sleep) for a week & then once a day for a week & then every other day etc.
What do you suggest?

Not the best one to give advise on auto's as i don't care for them much.
BUT, I have found them to be fussy and nutrient finicky. I might try starting at 3/4 of what I suggested and see what that does for them....If ok? Go right to full strength.

I do it differently.
I start my drying in 65% RH and drop it to 55 after a week to 10 days, till the stem "snaps and not bends).
You got the cure going ok but at some point if they get too dry the curing actually stops......Don't let it drop below 55 % RH while curing if you can. I am getting very happy with my extended cures with Bovita packs (the 62's) and simply putting the Bovita 62's in 1 gallon jars and leaving them for about 4 week before I start to use or place in shops.......I think they have smaller size bovita's for quarts but, stick with the 62's.

Hey Green.....I have tried it and had light fermentation (my guess) and/or stratification issue's. There are other things present in Molasses that aren't on the label......that can promote these problems....
the bottom line for me was the performance of the Dark Brown sugar over the Molasses for my intended outcome!

You know I took it for granted but should mention it now...

BE SURE YOU SANITIZE THE BOTTLE FIRST!

I just orders those B62 packs the other day (along with a small hygrometer to put in my jars) when I ordered the humidifier that you recommended, so hopefully I'll have everything I need before I have to harvest the plant that I posted pics of at the beginning of this forum.

Iam going to the store and buy these ingredients tonight. Iam gonna whip up a batch and give her a run. Would adding some hukic acid help this recipe out? Would be even more like Sweet.
