Smokinfirez 5 week flower...check me out.....

Looks like some deficiencies in those pics.. you trying to figure them out? They are nice but could be GREAT... why waste all the hard work?

Deficiencies??? What do u suggest??? I monitor my ppms daily and it seems to stay balamced at 870-900ppm... If ur pointing out to the yellowing of the leaves , i assumed yellowing was normal at this stage of flowering?? But im still a begginer so please shed a little light on what i might be missing in my grow??? If a defienciemcy is indeed in line, would someone help me figure out exactly whats missing?? Im using gh nutes and using the lucaa formula...any ideas on a possible finish time???

What is your nute soup? it looks like a cal-mag def to me, yellowing of the leaves happens only at the end of flowering when you flush, because they are using up the excess nutes in the leaves. Even if your base nute has cal-mag you might still need a suppliment. my sensi bloom a n b has cal-mag in it, but i still use botanicare cal-mag plus.

As long as you and your girls are happy that is all that matters ^_^

Maybe its the pics, I was on the fence about saying anything but the bud size and leaf issues seems something is not firing on all cylinders. Not saying you are not doing good man, they look like they are coming along. just something seems like it could be better, but that's me... no worries.

Keep em green brother.

thanks for the quick replys yall....as for my nute soup...im running a four gallon res using the 0 -8 -16 lucas formula from gh nutes...my ppms are around 870....i have some extra cal mag , and i did fight a mag def before so maybe.......as for bigbuddahn, yeah i notced that the bud size does seem a bit small for where there at in flowering....u make sense on the whole they look nice but it looks like somethings not firing on all cylinders , you know??ive thought the same, which is why this morning i flushed my system and added a fresh batch of nutes to see if that helps....i havent changed my rez for a while so maybe it could be some lockout ive had going on....ive been doing the addback method since before flowering , havent changed it....think that couldve been a factor????

does anybody have any input , based on the pics , if this baby will be an 8 weeker or does it look like itll be a lil longer than the typical 8 week harvest...???im getting closer to that 8 week line but have no idea if im even close to finishing...wish i knew the strain and flowering time..that wouldve helped a lot....hahaha

pick up a 420 scope at any hydrostore. check out the trichs. some peeps say to harvest 25% amber, some say 75%. if you look at them and they are all amber then you let it go to long and it has been degrading in quality.

Just picked a scope at radioshack 60x to 100 x....checked out the trichs and they are still mostly clear as far as i can tell...now knowing this, is there a way to guesstimate a timeline for possible harvest???

Ok my mistake...i looked over my trichs and i would say i see cloudy and clear , no ambers as i can tell.....

still have at least a week or two then. but cloudy is a good sign of maturity.

it looks as if your having a magnesium deficiency,im not quite sure so dont quote me and if your in five weeks of grow you should have three weeks left,but for a beginner your doing great,keep growing

This could be strain as well. Ive had strains that just dont yield alot. I mean mine was a bagseed but the bud was fire! My friend still has a little left and raves about it. I get a text once a month.. "Dude this Grape-Soda is OFFICIAL". Makes me happy; regardless you have cal/mag defs for sure. Add cal-mag and some Kushie Kush or other Bloom Booster (IN MODERATION). xD

thanks for all the replys .... if it wasnt for the advice , id probably woud drive myself and plant maddd....ha....anyways i hope its just the strain as far as the yeild...i should of considered genetics as a factor of yeild but dont know why i didnt....yesterday i added 5ml per gallon cal mag and it shot my 870ppm to 940...not bad, considering after a day it went from 940 to 1000ppm...diluted with pure water and got my ppms to 880-890 range...ill let them eat up the cal/mag anD SEE HOW IT GOES....JUST A QUESTION , SINCE I HAVE PROBABLY JUST 3 WEEKS LEFT , IS THERE A POSSIBILITY actually not making a point to fix the cal/mag def since all i have is 3 weeks....what im asking is , because of the fact that im going on 6 weeks and have a cal/mag def , is it too late to fix it with just 3 weeks left? will there be a noticible difference in overall quality AND YEILD IF I DO FIX IT COMPARED TO IF I DONT....??? HEY , WHO THINKS MY BUDS WILL FATTEN UP DURING THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS??? WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO CAUSE THE CALYX TO SWELL AND HAVE I PAST THAT POINT OF SWELL????

buuuump.....lol
