Hey everybody
I started this plant in january and it has been flowering for almost seven weeks now. The strain is Hash Plant from seedsman. For flowering I have been using alaska mor-bloom, botanicares Sweet and molassus in my waterings and also plain spring water. I water the plant 3 times a week 120ml for two of the waterings and 240ml for the other. I mix it up between the nuits molasus and plain water. I don't give the plant the alaska mor-bloom more than once per week. I was wondering how close I am to harvest and any other tips or observations you have on my setup, plant, or the strain. (Pics are in the gallery in the right hand corner) how do you get thumbs in a post?
light setup:
15 watt flor (phillips)
2x 40 watt flor (ott lite)
17 watt compact flor (ott lite)
medium:
30% worm castings
70% Miracle grow moisture control

yer at least a couple of weeks away from harvest.

In the meantime, get a jeweler's loupe or a handheld microscope from Radio Shack and watch the trichomes. Not only is it FUN and AMAZING but it will help you tell when it's really time to harvest.

good luck

Nice healthy looking plants there, Biz. Impressive for CFLs. Been gave you some good advice - get a microscope and look at your trichs. When about 3/4 of them turn amber, the THC is at its peak. That's your harvest time. In those pics, I don't even see the pistils turning red/brown yet and usually this happens before your trichs turn. Like Been said, looks like you still have a couple weeks to go. Good luck.

Hi Hear,
I was looking at your pics and was wondering what kind of CFL you use, and if you use them for flowering? I just bought a handheld microscope today..only $10 not bad!

Big ups on the scope, bizarro. It'll take all of the guesswork out of it and you'll be able to judge on this and sucessive grows exactly when to harvest for your best high.

good luck

what is everyone take on depriving plants of nitrogen during the late flowering phase? I am seeing many mixed opinions on this one...
