Hi freddyoh

I was not trying to upset you, but the way you wrote the post looked like you was saying,
good somebody is on here with some good advice so i don't have to listen to largebud.
Even warlock was not 100% sure what you meant

But now I know you did not mean that, lets get on with your grow
thanks

I have thought about adding plants to the flower room, 3 weeks before the ones in the flower room are ready to chop,
as plants in early flower do not need much light for the first 3 weeks and are a lot smaller in early flower, This would give you weed every 6 weeks (9weekers) and over a year, If the flower room is in constant uses, you should gain a lot of extra weed,
by doing this you crops will be reduced as the plants added in week 6 will take light and space but can't see it reducing the yield more than 10-15% each crop

hmm its only flowering day 32 and theres already white hairs turning brownish?

tho i read somewhere that some Northern Lights can be ready in about 45-50 days

sorry freddyoh they will not be ready for at lest 8 weeks, and I think my flower time will be round 9 weeks if i am lucky but chances are, 10-11 weeks,
but northern lights are grown for a high quality smoke, not yield and short flower time

If the white hairs are turning brownish as this stage ,There may well be something wrong with your grow, heat ,light to close to the canopy, root problem and lots of other reasons, it slows the bud growth a little,good luck finding the problem

Your plants are looking good and I can see what you mean, but your still going to get a good yield, you have some some good dank buds growing there ;-)

you have got a small problem starting there which would be good to sort out, but there a few things that can cause this.
have you been giving the plants grow nutes in flower as the plants look like they could do with some if you have not giving them any in the last 2 weeks

They don't need a lot of grow nutes at this stage but still need some up to about 7-10 days before you chop

hi bud, yea they are starting to look very nice and really frosty... :eyesmoke:

i have during this whole run given them less nutes than i suppose to, because the soil was fertilized but still a good amount... i have seen some nute burns on the leaves, so i backed off a little... last time i watered with nutes was the 30th, thats 7 days ago, then i flushed them 3 days ago

should i give them one more nutefeed ?


peace

I still get this problem in my grows, some of the time and its not as simply as feed nutes or not.

nute burns means high ec in the roots, so you could give the plants loads of bloom nutes and lock out grow (n) nutes, so you flushing the root zone, and give the plant more bloom and the problems get worse

I use biobizz grow and bloom, so I would try 10ml grow and 30ml bloom in 15ltrs of water and have check the ec,ph can't remember what it was, but I think my tap waters, ec is about 0.6 and adding the grow and bloom takes it up to about 1.3 and keeping this under 1.6 is good in soil imo
and my ph is about 6.6, so this is a good mix for me in flower and I still check the ph/ec level from time to time

you what the ec to stay as low as you can, but give the plants what they need at the same time, no point giving the plants more nutes than they need, it will build salt up in the soil and damage the root zone.

give the plant some grow and bloom nutes but a light feed and see how they go :):)

good luck

i just remembered... its the trichomes/"snow" thats suppose to turn brown/amber to see readyness right? not the pistons/buds...

your plants in flower are looking bushy and full of bud :weed:
A lot of grower's can't wait, and chop early, if you do, you will lose some of your yield and the smoke will not be as good,

I know its hard but its worth the wait :bigjoint:

anyway if you give the plants in veg, 2-3 weeks more, take cutting and turn over to flower as you chop the ones in flower,
keep doing this and every 8-9 weeks, you will have lots of dry dank bud :)

Hehe i wont chop early, i can tell you that... but im having problems with seeing the color of the triches with my 30x... i hope it gets more visible when they start to turn amber...

Can u take clones from clones forever? or is that only possible for an x amount of "generations"?

if you can't see any color, there still clear,
after some time, you will see lots of small dark red spots all over, and you know there ready

(clones) chances are you will be changing the plants/strains every 2-8 crops, because something has gone wrong with the plant/clones

an less you have a good veg room and keep the environment good at all times, Then you could keep take clones from clones for years
with some strains/plants
