Personally, I'd hit it with 20-20-20 Jacks classic at 3/4 strength at every watering and turn it around. I had one that did the same thing and that cured it.
Thanks bro..So i will turn my light off for 48H on the last week, and then one hour on adn chop my way out of that jungle...Stressing definitely won't increase your yields. I would say just do what you plan on doing by keeping your lights off and then turn them on for 1 hour after the 48 hours of darkness. THC is at its highest potency in the morning. If your growing white widow, it should be pushing out enough crystals already. Don't harm your plant.
Theres no way your sativas are gonna be done in 57 days. Some can take up to 16 weeks..Id try to give them at least 9-10 weeks if at all possible.
I remove the plants ready for harvest to another dark area just before Lights Out, get the chop table ready, pull a plant in the morn and do the dirty deed. Mel Franks has a graph showing THC levels throughout a 24 period and yes THC is highest during its night cycle. Whether or not you can detect the change by smoking......I doubt it.Thanks bro..So i will turn my light off for 48H on the last week, and then one hour on adn chop my way out of that jungle...
Check the color and clarity of your trich's, they'll tell you when they are done.
Like I said in the Roseman thread:
Just wondering cuz i was reading a thread and the guy was saying he waits until the pistils withdraw into the bud. He says he does not harvest based on trich color. I could see how this would work with indica but with sativa...i'd be afraid to try seeing as how it could ruin the high.
Pistils withdraw into the bud? That's a new one on me.
Yeah he was saying when the plant reaches the end of its life cycle the pistils withdraw into the bud. Never heard it either, thought it was a unique approach.
I don't do flowering rooms. My setup is so cheap and easy you'd probably puke.
Regarding light, you didn't mention the hood, probably the most important consideration other than the wattage. I'm partial to 600W, started the trend 14 years ago when no one had heard of them. That said, you should start small, get a feel for it, understand your program and then go from there. It's all in the balance, not any one factor, that's what I mean by "program". You must balance your light with your availability of salts and water. Penetration is over played here, as is stuff like pH. In fact, my ladies never complain about my penetration, and trust me, it's not very deep. The lowest leaves stay on until harvest, and the lights are a good 5' or 6' above the lowest branches.
what hood do you use U.B.I don't do flowering rooms. My setup is so cheap and easy you'd probably puke.
What's really happening is folks are giving their plants high priced crap which induces premature leaf drop. If you understand plant nutrition, then you will have noticed that most cannabis specific foods aren't using correct formulations regarding the NPK values only using gimmictry such as amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and such to hawk their products. Why they sell this shit to their customers is shameless, but like they say, "a sucker is born every minute." The foods are too high in K and too low in N, especially what they try to pass off as a "grow" food for vegetation.
Good luck,
