acapulco gold Barneys farm...today i see the first crystals on tops....i thought that it was the light it was i warmer on tops...can crystals evaporate without any symptoms of light bleach in warm conditions?

light degrades trichomes. That's a 55 year old strain. Its been around since the early 60's. So don't expect frosty buds

I can ensure you (maybe with pics -not my grow ) that Acapulco Gold ,under the greek sun at least ,is quite
frosty ,for a landstrain Sativa plant ....Quite frosty ,yes ...

Brother I tell you my opinion-which might be totally wrong ,but anyway ...
Opinions are like ...

Way too much water ...
Too much water (roots and/ or air ) after mid of flowering ,will effectively reduce the amount of resin,mj produces ..

Dunno ...
I might be wrong ...

Cheers.

it could be temps. I see way more trichome development at lower temps in my garden.

Give her time. She's a long cycle sativa. Patience grasshopper.

Too much water ..
At the same substrate volume of soiless mix ,After mid of flowering 1/2 of a liter every 2 or 3 days ,is enough ...

( Summmerrrrrr ....Supposedly somewhere in Mexico .....Water ?
2.5 liter every two days ? !!!!
A rainforest in " Mexico " ? ? ? )

Soiless peat/coco mixes store a lot of water inside them ...Many times their dry weight ...
Careful with that "quality' of 'em, ...

see...i bit of mesh i will leave her dry...would be a shame those bid colas to loose their quality...because from quantity i'm very satisfied..

IMHO
Leaves are droopy.....Over fed....too much N. Could be over watered, but I'll go with overfed.
Tips are burned.......Over fed....
Serrations on the leaves are slightly turned up.....VPD is out of range......too dry.

yes i was overfed before...but in this stage i use 4-10-40 to low N and i never gave her over 1000ppm...
this summer in hot days it couldn't hold her for 3 days with 2 lit of water...i found her very dry main colas couldn't hold without some lst....so if i overwater her why she can't hold after 2-3 days with this amount of water?and she looks very dry?i think that i mess up the humidity of the tent...i cant find any other reason too.i found your advise very helpful thanks....
