40% humidity is perfect for drying dont go lower, end product will be better the slower it dries man keep it w/o the heater fan imo with some kind of ventilation. not a fan on buds thos it makes it dry to quick, just maybe a fan blowing across the opening on the top on low setting

So... Each day my plant looks progressively "worse"... The leaves are turning yellow, brown and dying off at a much higher rate. figured I would take a shot of the whole plant and ask you guys what you think...

Should I just chop it? .. thinking about maybe doing it on Saturday

is it just the fan leaves? how do the nugs look/feel? yea i think saturday it will be ready

all but the main cola seem to be pretty leafy...

Still no amber trichs

Nugs not very swollen at all.

Yes, just the fan leaves but I am figuring soon it will start killing off the good shit. It started by killing off the 9 inch, 13 fingered leaves... then smaller and smaller down to now the 3" leaves....

yea its time to go man... kinda sux i thought maybe it would go longer and get more swollen. anyway that branch looks real tasty with a shitload of resin...cant wait to see pics on saturday

I'm sorry to read about this turn. Every step of the way you got better and you've done a really great job with this plant! The only thing I can come up with is that it may have some nute deficiencies after the flushing. It is only days away, do you think just a bit of molasses might help? Even if only to slow down the process. Sorry that everything I can offer is just a shot in the dark. Ignoring the leaves, it looks extraordinary!

I noticed you used molasses and hydrogen peroxide; isn't the point of the molasses to feed the good microbes in the soil? If so, then aren't you just killing them with the hydrogen peroxide? I'm far from an expert on this, I tend to go the cautious route but I've heard good and bad things about feeding them hydrogen peroxide.

Damn dude, this thing is crazy lookin...what happend to the other two plants? Space issues? My cfl grow is looking like it might be a 12 week venture aswell....Would you say this is about where you were week 4sh?

I think this is what you want. All my fan leaves came off leaving only bud. Even some of the longer bud leaves started to go yellow but a little trimming made for some nice looking weed. My roots at the bottom were all brown so who knows what is going down there? Maybe you have deficiency but I bet over time the soil just compacted and you aren't getting air down there but who cares? the natural life cycle of the plant is over. I would let #3 go until the bud leaves start to turn brown. until then just water with luke ph'd water. Cutting a dryish plant will speed the drying process btw. maybe the big cola is blocking light to the rest of the plant prompting mixed chemical signals regarding harvest time events (i.e. amber trichs)

Don't worry about amber anyway. THC is better than CBD and couchlock is better for pain relief than social buzzing.

Bottom line: don't sweat it - she is doing what she is supposed to.

sup curb,

the yellowing/browning of the leaves is due to the pollination, the plant uses up all the nutes and micronutes to produce seed. and it causes the buds to almost come to a hault so it can reproduce. these plants will sacrifice growth for survival and replication.

the seeds will take 4-5 weeks to finish, once the seeds are mature the plant will pick up where it left off. I could definitely see this plant taking 13+ weeks to finish flowering.

Dont forget what I mentioned above^^

and wait till the leaves turn crispy and you can pluck them right off the plant. trust me Ive pollinated plenty of females. she just needs a lil TLC time and space to finish doing her thing then she'll wrap up nice and dank!

the plant is gorgeous! I dunno why everybody's trippin...this plant is not sensimillia, it will do this to produce seed

Spittin.. You keep talking about seed production (along with many other things) that have already been covered as NOT occuring.

The pollination did not take. There are no seeds being produced. Scanning the thread doesn't constitute as truly following it, man.

few things i wanted to point out, i was reading and noticed ur feeding schedule is like every other day, u should really start letting the soil dry out a lil more between waterings next grow. the plants will stay perky the whole grow.

Click to expand...

Where were you reading this? I never once fed the plant 2 days in a row... Never 3 days apart, or 4 days apart... You're tripping.

and next time u get a confirmed female u should clone instead of trying to breed for seeds.

Click to expand...

I didnt clone for a reason.. Which is another thing you scanned over and are now jumping on me for.. Again, READ the thread before you jump in.
I chose pollination because A) It sounded like a fun experience and B) My next grow is not immediate. I dont need weed growing 24/7...

pollinate during veg when u see preflowers so the plant can use all the energy and food for bud production.

I followed FDD's tutorial on this. If you know more about how to do it you may want to go let him know in his thread on the subject.

also u may wanna consider flushing right ab now if the seeds are mature, if they arent mature then u might need to add more potassium and phosphorus to ur feeding since ur leaves are looking like the plant is crying out for it.

There... are... no... seeds... in... development.....

curb...so saturday is the big day eh?? get your trimmers yet?

I think so.. I'm having a get-together on Friday so I dont want to do it before then. I figured I would just use some scissors around the house. Is it better to use something more specific?

I am about 80% leaning on doing it on saturday... Namely due to the yellowing of the thing. the main cola still is growing and looking better each day -- so it's hard to decide.

i have these lil spring scissors..reg scissors should be fine..just make sure you have some isopropyl alcohol to clean the blades periodically..they get all gooey from the resin..its also gonna smell sooooo good when you are trimming...its the best part.

I understand ur frustration, but im just stating facts here.

then go ahead and chop it down saturday. when u stated urself u were unhappy with the results.

Im just sayin that u never know, some pollen may have unexpectdly hit any other pistol on the plant and you may have seeds u dont see. if U do choose to be patient dont be suprised if ur calaxyes begin to swell and ur buds plump up.

but if u dont want someone whos been down that path to coach u, I'll take my 2 cents to another bank

no seeds dude. your money's no good here - beside 2 cents in the scheme of things isn't that much. You can't even buy a gummy bear.

Curb, don't use isopropyl on your regular scissors. scrape it off with a sharp blade. It is hash and will make you loopy. Cut now and share at your get-together.

Again, she's all girl this one. Lose your pollination fixation.

why wouldnt you use alcohol???? everytime i trim up north we have two pairs of scissors...one trimmin and one soakin.

just make sure you rinse the blade before you start trimmin again.

alcohol will do the trick but if you are trimming outdoors on that scale you have unlimited smoke. #3 is curb's only plant and all that hard resinous hash shouldn't go to waste. First scrape it off for smoking THEN clean with alcohol.
