Do my flowers look right?

nice, no worries still lots of green and the leafs did most of their job anyway allready, hehe.
Would say a little defoil cant hurt to give some budsites more direct light and get rid of some ugly leafs.
Whats the white powder on some leafs? i hope it is all just crystals no PM or such.
Like the frost on everywhere, whats the strain?

Hey dude!

I defoliate every single day. The leaves keep growing back. No matter how much I defoliate, I still need to defoliate!! Ill remove more leaves now!

The white stuff is possibly a bit of PM. Its under control, not really spreading, RH 55% so im not too worried. I chop off any leaves with PM. Im not worried at this point about that. I have some Bio-innoculants I could use, but again im not too concerned.


The strain I have no idea, I found this seed years ago and have been cloning it ever since. Its a 8 year old mother and they all clones of the mother. I love this strain. I dont even want to smoke other peoples stuff, its got nothing on my babies. I dont know what is so "good" about it. Its NOT the THC. I have had pure THC before and im not really a fan of THC. Whatever cannabanoid this plant is high in, I love that cannabanoid. But its NOT THC that im into....If that makes sense!!


Day 37

cool, these are from a 8 year old mother, i like how frosty they are for their age.
Guess will you know this strain in and out then, do what worked in the past, haha.
Dont take my defoil advice too serious, i see you made a good job on this allready.

For the THC only, that makes sense!
Beside that i miss the taste, THC only is too trippy for me.

Ye, I LOOOOVE weed. Pure THC is horrible. I dont like it atall. Not even nice.


I do know this plant very well, but I have been experimenting for the past 8 years, I still havent figured out the best way to grow her. It is amazing how many "strains" one strain can be, depending how she is grown. It expresses itself differently in different conditions. I love nature. Truly amazing.

best way to learn this stuff, stick with one strain.
tbh i seldon grew one strain twice, cant keep mothers also.
would love to do a strain over and over again and fine tune the nutrient shedule for it.

reading my text above, "for their age" means , lots frost for 37 days in flower, not reagirnd the 8 years old mother.

Yep I know what you meant.

Im a bit worried, the biggest leaves got what I think burned. The majority of the buds have lost their biggest leaves, and it almost seems its progressing...

do you see any deficiencies, or is this purely the after affects of over feeding earlier on during flower?

hey, relax.
Am sure you will do fine, you know your stuff.

to my understanding there could be calcium def. on some leafs, if this isnt cause by the PM?? (never had those)
Whats your EC? medium/DWC? fert.? tap water?
Think theyre well fed and got for sure enough nitrogen.
To my view phosphorus is often also quite high in the ferts and can cause burn, bit less P, keep K high.
Just my 2 cent!
If in doubt, listen to your heart, you know your strain, for sure!

My feeling is, they were low on CA.from what I have seen under strong white LED, the plants CA requirements increase significantly, too a point that calmag is no longer the best option to use as a CA suppliment. I have been using Cal nitrate only to increase the CA and I will try get some EDTA CA for later on in flower. When you feed flowering nutes, there is a low amount of CA in it. CALMAG is ok, but if your already on your max EC levels, CA EDTA will raise your EC way less than cal mag. I could probably feed less and add more calmag, but I am always trying to "Max the plant out" if you know what I mean. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, all in the name of Science!

Day 38, so far so good!

I'm still a bit worried about the amount of dying leaves. The buds look great but it still has 20 days to go...

lol, You've been growing it for 8 years you tell us how it is doing? You've pulled 40 plus harvest you should have it dialed in after almost a decade of growing the same plant.
that amount of PM I see would worry me that it is creeping into your buds and you can't see it, but if you say it is under control what do I care.

I'm on the Calcium bandwagon - that's what it looks like to me, too. Middle-upper fan leaves = immobile nutrient lockout. Rust spots near the veins and leaf edges and tips usually = Ca lock-out/deficiency.

And I don't mean to spoil the party, but have you checked under some of those leaves for mites? You have lots of small pin-prick dots on some of those leaves that look suspiciously like mite damage, but may also be Ca spotting. You might want to check, just to be sure.
