so, it's been a while. My lowriders are almost smoked and a few days ago I harvested my bag seed plant. Nothing amazing but will save me buying weed for quite a few more weeks. My time growing weed is over (for now!), my gf is very happy about that. Now I have a new hobby, I bought a 60l...
Thanks for the comments :)
So, it looks like I'll haul about an ounce from my lowriders. The first worst performing LR2 is curing now and weighs 10 grams (excluding top bud which is smoked).
The second LR2 is hanging about 2 days. It looking heavier. The buds are not very dense but i presume...
OK, so, it's been a while. I've been busy working and with the plants. That 19 grams in my last post quickly dried out down to 3 grams, so got 6 grams (cos i had 2 buds) total from that sub-harvest. It's now in a jar. Sampled it quite a bit and am pleased with the results.
Last night I cut down...
Harvested top buds. Got tired of waiting on them and I wanted to put the rest of the plant back on nutrients.
When I trimmed them they weighed about 19 grams each including stalks, I know this will reduce substantially as they dry but i'm pretty pleased.
They are drying at about 19 degrees...
Giving the flowering plants water only. Lower buds still not really that good. It may end up being a case of harvesting the top of the plant and then the lower at a later date, but i'll keep flushing them for another week anyway. Trichromes still 100% cloudy, but the pistols are now mostly...
Top buds lookin really nice now. Lower ones not quite as nice. So, I thought i'd take a chance and bend over the top bud. jus sqeezed it and bent it over. Think it went well. That means i can get the lights lower down and hopefully help out the rest of the plant. You can see the before and after...
Major PH problems today, tested run off yesterday and all were way too acidic. Gonna flush them out in the shower today.
Plants still looking really nice though. Loads of bud sites and calyxes which form buds are popping up everywhere.
I'll get that PH sorted and feed them later.
Hey Fast1, look up pre flowering, that's how to know to switch the lights. Sounds like you'll be waiting another 3-4 weeks though. Ask on a different thread for advice like this. :)
Think my bag seed plant started pre-flowering. Think it might be female :)) (partly at least) What yous think of that microscope shot???
Lowrider2 plants still coming along nicely, hopefully the buds get a lot bigger.
Bag seed plant looks like its recovering nicely after I hacked the shit out of...
My big plant was getting too big, so i chopped lots of it away. looks like i butchered it but, i think it will be better off as it will probably veg another 3 weeks.
Got some Biobizz nutrients off a friend so i started using those as well. Buds still fairly small but i think they'll come along.
Well, I'm new to this too but, the compost you're using probably has enough fertilizer in it for your plants at this stage. I'd wait at least 2 or 3 weeks. It didn't do my seedlings any good, so, don't try it. I fertilize about once a week (eg. water tuesday, fertilize on saturday) Lights and...
