Thanks for the reassurance! I think they're on track but they still need to fatten up. 37 days today.

No, I haven't. This is only my second grow so I haven't really had the chance. I was thinking I'd make some edibles with the leafs and what not, because hash making is a pretty difficult process is it not?

How are you doing the feedings? Show me an example
Well, I feed pretty much every watering, using: aprox. 2tbls of molasses (all of these measurements are per gallon), 15ml of Canna Terra Flores (npk: 2-2-4), and 2tbs of Snow Storm Ultra.
I use tap water left out for 2-3 days, 1.5 gallon per plant. The ph reads about 7.5-8 before adding nutrients, and about 6.5 after.
I water when the pots feel light and the soil is almost completely dry a few inches down, which equates to about every 3 days (but each one is a bit different).

If you wanted any other info, please say so. And thanks for the interest in a novice's grow.

Oh. Here is what me and most people i know do. Feed as much as your strain can handle. Then the next time they need water flush the old juice out. So twice a week. in week 4.5.6 im feeding 1100ppm once a week. Then i flush it out with water after 3-4 days and then start my next week. The whole point of that is to get rid of the food your plants didnt eat. So you dont get a build up of food your plants didnt eat. Make sure there is good run off on the water day (15%) and make sure they are light when u judge the weight. On feed days im only giving them enough to get a small bit of run off. Maybe 5 %
That is what works for me. You can do what works for you. But this is what i would recomend for soilless.

Yes, I admit I may have been over-zealous in their feedings. I'll give them straight water next time. I don't know if I should feed them again after that, or just stick to water, because they're getting close to the final week or two??

Two days ago I flushed them really thoroughly with my hose, then gave them ph-ed and dechlorinated water.

I don't know if I should give them another feed before harvest or stick with water from here on out. I need some advice here guys!!
Also, would it produce a harsh smoke if I only gave them molasses until harvest? Or would it sweeten the buds?

One of the plants has alot of red hairs already, mainly on the lower buds, which is weird because I thought the tops matured faster??

No i would feed once a week. Do you have a ppm meter? I payed 35 for mine and it works killer. Read my grow guide for tips on feeding etc.
My last feed is on week 7 and then i flush for 12 days. Twice with finisher and once with straight water.

Looks like some mag def. I get that when i dont add calmag to my low ppm water
Or your ph might be a bit low. Thats from food/salt build up. Hard to say.
other than that you got some nice buds bro
