Anyone who has read my threads will know I haven’t had the best of luck, but now I’ve got a plant setting bud and looking good to go for a first. Just wanted to update everyone with a pic or two.

Looking good!
Be on the defensive for pests.
Spinisad and BT are your friend.
Alternate weekly was my regime.

So those are completely safe until what week of flower?

looks great.. tint is right, now's the time to hit them w/bt... kill those little pillers now while their young... if you spray weekly for the next few weeks you shouldn't have to worry much after that

That means an enormous amount coming from a grower of your caliber, I am honored.
I ordered the BT yesterday, I’ll start spraying as soon as I get it and continue weekly as per your advice.

I just want to make sure that the yellowing looks fairly normal to everyone, I don’t want to give any nutes if I don’t have to. It has progressed a tad beyond this picture, but still only the oldest leaves.

To me it looks like it could use a light dose of N and an Epsom salt feed. That's a tad bit too much fading this early.

Ok thank you so much, exactly why I thought I should ask.

She's just starting to bud and stretch so she's going to be hungry for everything. This is not the time to hold back.
Pot plants eat at their highest rates during the stretch and then go back to pre-flower feed rates after.

Ok well my dumbass went and used some fish emulsion for the nitrogen component without remembering the varmint population around here, luckily I remembered their affinity for the stuff before nightfall so I decided to rip apart an onion and disperse it plentifully all around the pot and plant, but I know that may not have been enough so I decided to stack some callery pear branches (the very invasive and viciously throned variety) up all around my plant in an effort to further dissuade any potential critters. Anyone wanna make a bet as to if it will work, also I’m going to try and do the epsom salt feeding today, will that rectify my spotting issue I’m seeing on some of the yellowing leaves?

Whatsup rollitup fam, I just sprayed with Spinosad today and I want to make sure that the spotting I’m seeing is from a magnesium deficiency and not something more sinister. Other than that she is looking better by the day, starting to put some sugar on the leaves

Would just like to inform everyone that I had to chop it last Saturday due to a combination of poor wet weather and also my lack of ability to give it the attention required at the later stages of flowering. I realize it was a week or maybe two early but it is definitely sufficient to get the job done, me and a friend rolled a doobie of it fresh from some popcorns and got a wee bit baked. I’m expecting about an Oz once it’s finished drying, had some mold forming on some of the smaller interior buds so it is probably a good thing I chopped it when I did because we were just gonna keep getting rain and cloudy days for a good while. Sorry for the garbage trichrome picture, I had to screw an objective lens off of a microscope and zoom In on my phone through said lens to even get a half decent look. All in all I’m happy with it and it will only get better from here, cheers everyone!
Before anyone chews on me about being several weeks early or yada yada, just understand that I would rather be safe than sorry, and I’m not really sweating this to a high degree. Pests were becoming more of an issue and I wasn’t gonna be around to spray, as well as the moisture/humidity problems. PM and some form of bud rot was beginning to effect the plant, and I would just rather end my worrying and start planning for next year while still getting a useable crop. Total flower time of about 8 weeks

Wow that is a bummer! It's your grow Tho and you are in charge. I would have left her another 3 to 4 by looks of it....try spraying early with actinovate next yr. Should keep any PM or rot at bay. Good luck

Yeah sadly i had to move for college so coming back on the weekends was the only opportunity I would have had to maintain it and that simply wasn’t gonna be viable. I will definitely mark that spray down because if I would have had a near guarantee on the mold prevention I would definitely have left it. Next year I plan on using some named genetics for the first time, I look forward to it. Thanks for the advice and following along
Also what do you recommend as a leaf hopper preventative, I was seeing a lot of damage from those I believe because Neem was the only thing I had that would keep them off.
