does it matter if my plant still green towards harvest

[giz2k14]

Hey my chronic is 7 week 4 days into 12/12.she went abit pale on me a few weeks ago so I gave her a few higher dosage of nitrogen now she's gone back a nice green.shes still getting fed and I estimate there's about 2 weeks left most trichomes are cloudy but a few are still clear does it matter if the plant is still green at harvest time ? And can I continue feeding up untill the chop or do I have to stop if so when? I'm using bio bloom,bio grow and top max any information be great thanks in advance

I cut back 2 weeks before chop to like a 1/3 strength nutes... and then the last week before chop I just water with pure water.

As for the plant staying green...

I had a weird ass OG pheno I grew a few months ago that went 9 1/2 weeks and still never yellowed off. Went 30% amber, and still had leaves the color of my christmas tree. Sometimes it might be nutes left in the medium... sometimes it's just the strain.

You said yours started fading off before giving it some N. I would bet that if you cut back these last 2 weeks you will see it yellow off again before it's time for the final chop.

Hmm I will just lower the dosage of nutrients and see how she goes when should I start doing this though now or when I get amber trichomes? currently got mostly cloudy a few clear

As soon as I see amber on a bud, I start cutting back. On the bud, not the sugar leaves. Sugar leaves tend to amber faster than the calyxes.

Yeah I noticed some amber on my other plant only on the sugar leaves,back to previous question does my plant have to yellow off before harvest then mate or doesn't it matter ?

I already answered that

I prefer a good fade. the less chlorophyll the smoother the smoke,

 

[Dr.Pecker]

no nutrients just sugar two table spoons of this per gallon of water.

any explanation as to why sugar ?

I have strains that stay completely green until harvest, and other strains that don't. My Cotton Candy strain lost nearly ALL of its fan leaves through dying off about five weeks into flowering. I was worried at first, but it's only this strains genetics as they are flowereing like a beast.

Because I run a quasi-perpetual, I feed all the way to the end, full dose. I use a local grow shop's three-part nutes (two of the parts for veg, then two for bloom) in soil. I notice no difference in taste or anything whether I feed to the end, or turn to straight water for a couple of weeks.

Its supposed to feed the beneficial microlife in your soil but if your ysing any kind of synthetic nutes or tap water its really not doing anything more than providing the user with a nice little placebo effect

what's the point then

 

[Joven Agricultor]

That turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw) is refined, it's crystalized. Sucanat is pure cane juice stirred while dried to produced granules, it's not refined at all and contains 100% of original molasses.

have you tried sugar in the raw? It will make the smoke smoother. it will work with ant type of soil.

sugar in the raw is not refined. its raw cane sugar.

 

[chuck estevez]

OH PLEASE, explain how this sugar water makes for smoother smoke, Because that goes against EVERYTHING i know about plants and sugar.

 

[Dr.Pecker]

It does feed microlife in the soil. And i have used it in a soilless mix like promix it still makes a smoother smoke.

It's only a few bucks' why dont you try it. see for yourself.

Sugar Vs. Sugar in the Raw
Last Updated: Jul 03, 2014 | By Denise Minger

With refined sugar offering little beyond empty calories, many people are seeking healthier ways to sweeten their menu. Sugar in the Raw, a brand of turbinado sugar, is one option that -- per its name -- might seem like a natural and nutritious alternative. However, the differences between sugar and Sugar in the Raw are minor, and their effects on your health are largely the same.

Processing Methods
For most of their journey from field to table, refined sugar and Sugar in the Raw undergo similar processing methods. Both sweeteners begin as sugar cane, which is first harvested and then crushed to separate the cane juice from the fiber of the plant. To strain out the moisture and dark, flavorful molasses, the juice is purified through several stages of of filtration, evaporation, boiling and centrifuging. The resulting sugar crystals are considered turbinado or "raw" sugar -- the form sold as Sugar in the Raw. To transform raw sugar into refined table sugar, the product undergoes additional washing, filtering, processing and drying to remove impurities and strip away any remaining molasses color or taste.
