Another week or two, man.
That's what I think too... week and a half from now is 9 weeks (Monday after next) - I think somewhere between week 9-10 she should be ready. There are only 4-6 that might finish in this timeframe the rest all need at least 2-3 weeks... i think the smallest chernojill may even need 4, but looking at the oldest one they look immature late and are maturing quick at the end.

I ended up cutting that half broken top off the one plant... it's been hanging the last few days so gonna be interesting to see dry weight tomorrow it'll give me a good idea how much weigh tthe smart pot timewrecks that are a week behind the bigger ones got. Looks to me like > 3.5g, < 7g. We'll see if it's 7g+ it's gonna be a bumper crop :)

The bigger plants are maturing fast now.... I definitely will not be surprised if a few get harvested starting in 8 or 9 days. They are swelling and ripening pretty quick now. Obviously it'll depend on where they are actually at then.... but I think they are going to definitely be in the fully mature window starting then for the closest to being done. Also my CCMs are down to most of the colas from lower buds having no more white hairs and the top colas only having a few white hairs right at the top of the bud... i would not be surprised if the white hairs on the top colas recede over the next week and a half and they finish up. Definitely not going to take any this weekend -- none are done and don't look like they will be before next weekend.

Is this stuff good? I would've never guessed that a few g of bottom buds would last me almost 3 weeks til harvest, so.... like i said these immature bottom buds get me as high or higher than the normal stuff i've been buying. I can't wait to see what fully finished buds will do. Even this immature bottom buds, you feel them turning your insides gooey on the first hit before you even exhale. I definitely like that :) Smoothness is 1000% better than the commercial stuff... i cough almost non-stop smoking that stuff... to where lately i've had sore throat, smokers cough and strained neck muscles from coughing so much... this stuff I barely cough it's real smooth even fresh dried with no cure.


Looks like I wasted a bunch of co2... so when i put the new tank in I recalibrated the controller inside the grow room (with the plants outside) instead of in the outside air... it is now registering as putting out 600+ ppm more than it did previously... I can only guess that means it was calibrated too high before and that the room ppms were closer to the 900-1000 range. That meter I have seems to be almost useless... it is now reading 2500+ ppm... apparently when it goes over a certain amount it says Hi. I've noticed a bump in the swelling since that new calibration, so guessing ppms were low rather than high before and now they're probably about right.


Just weighed out that cola i cut because it broke last week from the younger ones... it was a main cola but not the top/primary one so not quiet as big... and i only cut the top 2/3 so there's still a little bud down below... plant was right around day 42 or so when cut -- almost 4.5g dry. Just cut the buds off the cola will jar them up tonight after a bit more dry time. They might go down to about 4g there's still a tiny bit of moisture but not much they look like less mature, smaller but finished buds. the nugs are bowl size even still so when it's finished out they should be real nice sized. Those 2 smart pot timewrecks have really gotten nice looking at the end of flower even though they got pretty stretched.

Just put some of that fresh dried tw in a bowl... smelled my fingers... yeah, the apple jacks smell does carry over :) the outside still smells grassy but when you pull the bud apart you smell the goodness :)

Some pics...

Added note (I started this post hours ago) -- I'm definitely pulling some at day 63 (10 days from now) after these shots and also I need to get some drying... I think the timewreck will be done by then

Big ChernoJill (won't be pulled in 10 days)

here's my favorite daytime timewreck again.... i still think only about 1.5 weeks left. This is probably the smelliest timewreck -- it has now taken on a funky stinky sock smell in the last week. (will take this in 10)

Don't let me find out you pulling like this your first time! Way too green in an organic soil to be ready in a week.
Unless you been feeding with with soluble N :joint:

100% organic, they won't stay green until the very end. You can't force Organic N onto the plants.
Synthetic, you can force N onto them.
And I'm talking about the fan leaves. Not the bud leaves.

Nah they haven't had any kind of nutes in a couple of weeks, and then they got high P guano with almost no N.

This isn't my first time :) This is just my first run this year after an early shut down last time... I got people waiting :) I'm working on a harvest every 2-3 months I got plants in veg that are gonna go in after these I can let go as far as they can... sometimes you just gotta take'm when you need'em. I'm not saying they're going to be 100% done. They're going to be in the harvest window though. Shit I got the 2nd generation waiting to go in when these guys are done :)

this may be wrong, but....

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!

Sorry couldn't help myself - let's keep it friendly

I really don't know the answer myself -- I don't see why if a plant will take synthetic ferts til the end it would not take organics. It's true organics have to be converted into a useable form -- however with super soil most of the conversion is down while it sits for a month and bakes - the end absorbable product is already there in final form waiting to be absorbed, and more is being converted until the raw materials are all used up (they won't be -- the peruvian seabird pellets take months to fully break down. The good thing about keeping the leaves green is it preserves the hash material in the flower fan leaves. Once those yellow up and die a lot of that's gone... but i'm not trying to keep'em green... they just ended up with a lot of N due to it being a last minute mish-mash soil mix... next time is normal formula super soil and I expect to see more fade at the end.

if you wanna keep your plants green as fuck all the way through, put peruvian seabird pellets in the soil... they aren't hot an break down slow and are both high N & P. You can even put'em in without baking the soil first.

100% ORGANIC, and they look pretty damn green to me. Right before harvest btw.
Those aren't done And hell yeah I know a lot because I put work in. You wanna make snarly little girly comments, go ahead.
If those look done to you, it explains what you think that I don't. Maybe ONE of those buds looks finished.

The plant uptakes what it needs, if it's in the soil. 100% organic won't stay green till the end? Bullshit.
Hit the books and get back to me. If I need to drop some literature I will.
Annual flowering plants are no evergreens. They ripen and the leaves fall to the ground.

I do concur boss^^^
The nutes that you put in the soil when you mix the super soil are retained my the microbes in the soil.
The plant secretes exudates which dictate what they get from down below, so the nutes are readily available, but immobilized within the microbes until they're called upon.
Chem N is still N yeah, but it's in a form that the plant will use whether it needs it or not. They can't distinguish the difference between N(is what the word is).
You can force chemical N onto a plant bcuz it doesn't have to be converted...Not the same as organic N, which need to be converted to a plant usable form.
But what I'm saying is that the roots make soup. That soup dictates what happens above the surface. That's fact.
So you can topdress with guano high in N the last month, but it's not gonna stay green all the way thru bro...Unless you put a little early..

Like when they're still hella yellow pistils since dude wanna mouth off.

Your eyes ain't playing tricks on you, your mind is thinking that shits done.

Haha... Sincerely's keepin' it real.

I clipped a couple of lower hanging branches and buds off this morning... not super happy with the wet weights (even though they're smaller buds)... you're making me have second thoughts sincerely :) i've had a couple that are fading out... i'll take pics of the one that is fading out and maturing real fast later. May have to rethink taking those next week even though they look done... it'd be a shame to lose an ounce or two I coulda got had I just waited.

And I know you remember on my thread man, I averaged like 3 growth spurts in the lat week of every plant lol.
Can lie tho, and say that I didn't take anything early, bcuz I know I could have let 2 of the white widows go longer.
But still was good smoke like you'll have lol. But another bro, you can flush chemical N outta your soil. You can't flush it out of organic soil.
It' remains there until it's needed..Think of how heavy I was using teas with a super soil and still faded in the end...
I was throwing them N like HELL...Im aware that I don't know everything YER, but Im not tossin false claims out either.
Jut the shit I've learned boss

hey sincerely since you've been doing so much reading lately... i've been wanting to find a good book on the stages of marijuana growth particularly in flower and what kind of nutes it needs when, what it's trying to do, etc... in depth... you got a good recommendation?

Lookin' back at my last really successful run this way, the biggest yielders I let go long (over 70 days)... with the LEDs and tie downs it can take a little longer... not to mention they're not getting full 12 of dark too.
