lol nice, and beautiful plants also.I can't wait to see the count. What you should try next time though is topping, works great for a safe and easy way of getting more buds.

Also, are you going to deprive them of light in their last 2 days for more trichs?

Thanks Nonsensical
i was going to FIM these ladys but i didn't have the time to veg for long enough, next go though..
I will probably give them 36 hours of darkness but i'm not too sure yet as it would be cold and i don't want no mold going down 36hours from harvest.. so if i get a heater then yes, but if i don't, i'll wait till next grow, i really don't think it will make that much difference cause they should be bangin' anyway!

Looking good Joe!
This looks to be a Mg deficiency.I'd flush her(or the both of them really)with ph'ed water and start back with your feeding schedule.Magnesium is locked out in acidic soil.
Hope this helps.
Other than that they really look great how tall are they?

Thanks for the help Huh??
the thing is, i watered dem yesterday with plain PH'd water to wash away any build ups as usuall, i didnt notice anything then but i didn't really look that hard, it could of been there, just not as bad, so, because i have already gave them each plain water, can i just feed dem with nutes on the next feed as normal? i hope that made enough sense..
oh and i'll get the height for ya tomoro..

Flush each of your plants with 10-15 gallons (you're using 5 gallon pots correct?) of quality water to rinse away any salt buildups.Then continue with your nutrients.The reason I say flush them both is because if you have been feeding both plants the same then the other one will run into this problem sooner or later.
I flush about once a month to prevent salt build up.

Thanks man,
Gonna flush dem tomorow..
It doesn't appear to have gotten any worse...
buds are still gaining weight and resin..
one question i do have is, i use rain water but i may not have enough and its probably frozen anyway so can i use water from the store and adjust the PH accordingly?

I've been using distilled water from wal-mart throughout my whole grow, works perfectly fine and the pH is much better than spring water/drinking water/tap.

Yes,distilled water is best for flushing.They also make flushing agents like clearex,flora kleen,etc that help remove salts.

38 days after switching to 12/12 and they stink!
A fruity skunky smell has overpowered my room and its lovely..
Resin production is well on the way and the buds keep packing on the weight.. plenty of pics there, i can't help but take loads!
Flushing tomorow...

Thanks Brick20
I didn't take any from these girls, going away soon after the grow so i will be starting with fresh strains..

Can't get anywhere today cause the snow but i managed to get some rain water last night anyways..
the thing is, i have only flushed one plant...doing it right now
i could only get 10 litres of fresh rain water, so i've gone and fed that to the lady with the problem and then i'll get some more for the girl to her left.. i know its not that much but its better than nothing right..
I put 2 litres in first and the run off was clear, then when i started putting the rest through it changed to a nutrient like colour, so although its not as much water, it seems to be flushing away the salt build up... so now we wait and hope that it was enough to flush it all away...
whats your take Huh??...

Day 39 today and i've just finished flushing the lady on the right, i hope that has done the job..
Going to flush the other one either today or tomorow, depending on when i get more water out..
The other girl is very light but i think she can hold out for one more day until i flush her aswell,

Right Plant Height: 75 CM
Left Plant Height: 88 CM

hell ya looking good!

grow4joe said:

Cant believe ive only had one comment...
Nobody interested in the Big Bang?....
Maybe my next grow there will be more...gonna be growing either purple wreck or blackberry...

Day 14 and still looking good, they seem to be loving the nutes, and the fan has really beefed up their stems. Gonna give em some plain water 2moro just to get rid of any salt build up, instuctions say to feed every time you water but i dont think thats a good idea...
Humidity is getting better but still needs work..
Got my fan sucking air straight from outside into the grow tent..gotta pair of the missus's tights over the end of the ducting to stop unwanted pests ect, thats dropped the temp a few degrees

If they're in 5 gallon pots then I doubt that will be enough water,as 10 liters is only half of 5 gallons.I always use about 3 times as much water than the size of container I'm using(3 gallons for a 1 gallon pot,15 gallons for a 5 gallon pot,etc.).
Flushing is a pain in the ass,but it's something that should be done to avoid problems.I'll be flushing a few of my girls tonight

Also,I'd find someway to get the plant on the right as close to the light as the other.Getting it 5 inches closer will provide it with much more light.Just stack a couple of books under the pot or something.
Sorry if I sound like I'm criticizing.
The buds look great man,keep it up!

i'm gunna get as much water as i can tomorow, can't do much now as its lights off, plus all my water is frozen solid..
but yea man, its gotta be done.. when i get the water to flush the girl on the right, would it still be ok to finish flushing the other?
