Ha Ha Psych.. "Now my buds are rock solid and fat as shit" If that ain't a testamonial!! Pass the molasses.:eyesmoke:

Does a pot made of landscaping fabric dry out more quickly?

I have been practicing being patience gb and let my little girls go six weeks vegging in a small space. They are only in 2.5 gallon pots so I think I should have pulled the trigger earlier. Inexperienced indoors so wtf. I used the space blanket OVER paint gb and I have strips of it blowing in the breeze. The sound of it rustling is worse than the fan. I used spray adhesive but it's still delicate in a tight place. I wonder if the mylar is all that much better than paint..

Nothing wrong with that plant. Looks like it's been touched by autumm just like outdoors. Cool.

Yea i didnt think anything was wrong with it, just figured i'd ask to make sure. She's been healthy all the way through her life span, haven't had to worry too much about her :D

looks good to me ... could it be temps during lights off?... plant looks like it wants for nothing, and looks great

I suppose it could be night time temps. During lights on it hovers around 80 but lights off it drops down to 60 (or below) sometimes...the room the cab is in is either way too hot or too cold, its hard to get it just right as there is no actual thermostat in the room. I think it's just natural coloration though, checked again this morning and I'm starting to notice it more and more but only on the sugar leaves. None of the bigger, older leaves are showing this coloration.

well it don't look unhappy about it so i would say your right..... .. some strains turn red/brown/ even black while flowering.... yours looks like its natural

Defo. I looked at some deficiency/abundance charts and couldn't really find anything that matched up. It's just the first time throughout the plants life cycle that it hasnt been like 99% green lol. I'm just really hoping i get this girl chopped before my next univ semester starts...

if that's true then damn i have a fast finisher. its day 41 or 42 of flowering haha. I think she's just a ridiculously frosty strain... man i wish i had more beans or an idea of what strain this is... i had 20+ when i started :(

Man I could be wrong.....I think it's safe to say Chop day is somewhere around day 55 give or take 5 √ I know that's kind of broad, but she's already losing pistils.....all she's gotta do is suck them bitches back in, and amber up her trichs

it looks from the last pic that she wants more nutes ..... is she munching p-k ?

and my guess is 70 days flowering ... just a guess

Yea, that pic definitely made me realize she was hungry but i had fed her the night before so i think it's just gonna start yellowing up. Maybe I'll give her another round of nutes when i water next instead of alternating with just water. This would probably be the last feeding if so.

Haven't found any molasses yet so I probably won't use it this grow. I don't see a point in adding it to like only two waterings...

looking good, gb!
as to the colour: probably a combination of strain/cold (cold temps tend to bring out the anthocyanins, which appear red/purple to our eyes).

and dingdingding, molasses feeds the microflora, which then aids in nute uptake. although the benefits of using it to finish up with are still hotly debated. i prefer just water for the last few waterings.

Thanks for stopping by mellow! Yea, it seems to be a pretty unproven debate about molasses. For now I'll just keep it as simple as possible. As for the yellowing of my leaves, im pretty sure it's just an N deficiency as the girl nears the end of her lifecycle. You're probably right about the temp problem, my cab stays around 65 or below at night... its hardly breaking 75 with lights on now that the temps have gotten much colder outside.

I should state she was only a quick flowerer... she was slow as well, molasses during veg. I started her in early/mid september
