I'm into week 8 on critical purple and they're starting to get really fat and tons of frost. Just installed scrog. Bout 3 more weeks and I'll be chopping one down. But I would say around week 8 or 9 they begin getting dense
PH Of Soil Is 7.5

Gotta love that critical. Can’t wait to see some fat nugs. Do you think the yellowing could be a nitrogen defincency and would adding any even help at this point?

N deficiency typically shows at the lower base of the plant and on older leafs. I personally dont sweat minor discoloring especially this far in the cycle. I just let em do their thing and water,feed and flush accordingly towards the end cycle.

Wow that looks good man. Would love to try it. Yea it started from the bottom now it’s all over the place. Was just wondering if the nitrogen in the cal mag would help but the poison 420ppm water I’ve been using throws everything off

Ive been happy with the strain got 10 other plants going. But the cal mag wouldn't help imo. But I have some other bottled nutes incase I were to run into something like that. But honestly you're not too far from chopping her down maybe couple weeks ?

Organic or not, PH is important

Not yet. Should I use a microscope for that? This is what it looks like up close. I’m just waiting for them to bulk up

Yea theres still 3 maybe 4 weeks left. I have a microscope and a jeweler's loupe. Most mine are clear a few cloudy which tells me I have 3 weeks or so left regardless if I want them to get bigger or not. Scope will tell you where you're at. Trichs always tell you where the plant is. Looks good though !

Thanks boss. Gonna have to get one. Pushing nutes and distilled water till harvest. Maybe one week flush. Increasing nutes every week. I want some nice buds!

You definitely need a way to look at trichomes to know when it's time to chop.
20X minimum.
I recently had a plant that was still popping white hairs like crazy -- but it had a few amber trics and was definitely done.

Burnt all yahl? And only 10 days? I think it will take a little more time. Idk...

you are lacking leaves. you're not removing fan leaves at this point are you? after about week 3 of flowering i don't pluck anything off my plant that doesnt fall off naturally.

What do you mean? There’s a ton of leaves. If they look wrinkled up and dead I pull them off. More than 70% dead it doesn’t benefit the plant. But I guess I will leave it for now

maybe thats okay if they are more than 70% dead. I dunno. but the plant is cannibalizing itself using the nutrients from those leaves to build the buds so if you pull of fan leaves this late in flowering it hurts your yield.

Ok I won’t touch them for now. I was told by a few people if they look yellow and dead to pull them off. I’m looking for at least and ounce or two from each what do you think?
