9 weeks into flowering

[danny2980]

I'm around 9 weeks into flowering and my trichomes are still clear as day. I'm growing nirvana bubblelicious and papaya both looking healthy. There is alot of fan leaves on these strains and there very bushy compact plants. Is this bad? As alot of bud sites are covered. Wish I had lollipopd. I'm using 600w hps sensi ph perfect a+b and dutch pro explode. Had no issue's at all never even checked ph once buds are starting to pack on the mass. Just curious to how much longer these will take. No way they will be done in 10 weeks like nirvana state. Sorry for bad pictures. Only have camera phone. Just any advice on how long these could keep going for as there is a load of immature bud further down the kolas

I know dude I will try get better pictures out of the hps light.

turn them off for a minute and just do some flash shots

Then you'd have to wait for the tube to cool down before firing it back up. Just wait til the lights go out. A couple extra hours won't change anything.

Here's some better pics guys. Anyone shed any light on my upper leaves being very dry? Too close to light maybe? My temps are always between 21 and 25c. And as you can see there's alot of leaf. Will this stop light getting to bud sites. I've been removing the odd leaf now and then to let a bit more light and air flow throughout the plant. Can't wait until there ready. Bloody trichomes taking for ever to change though

Can't really see perfectly in them pictures but its looking close to done, I'd say 2 more weeks, some strains take up to 12-14 weeks to flower be patient no point in wasting all that time to not even finish it correctly

It looks like bit of a magnesium deficiency is causing the curling and the yellowing (I'm no expert), your plants looks great though, just hang in there!

Yeah that's what I'm thinking just going to give them plain water for the last 2 weeks flush all the chemicals out

Thanks man. Suppose we all learn from each grow. Can't wait for them to be done.

Great job! Look real close to being done. U could chop now and be OK. But if u got the patience wait another week or 2. Flush if u wanna,some do some don't. Cut when the plant is dry to cut down on drying time, have fun with all that pretty bud!

Thanks. I can't wait it's testing my patience. I'm looking every day to check them. I know people say flushing is a myth but just for their last few waters itl be plain water just incase.

Looks nice, dude!

Thanks mate. Roll on 2 weeks I literally can't wait haha. This is the best hobby in the world don't u think

Only thing I recommend is try to spread her legs a bit.. lol, either with string or bamboo sticks but those branches are a little tight together. You'll get more light penetration and better air circulation throughout the plant Good looking bud nevertheless!

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking mate. When I spread her open and look down into the plant there is a loads of premature bud. That's not getting as much light due to the tightness of the plant. What causes this? Is it just a strain thing or because I topped her a couple times? Thanks for advice

Simply the plant growing tight together causes that, The lower buds aren't getting as much light so they don't develop as fully as the tops. I often harvest the tops and let the bottom buds go for another week or so. The popcorn buds get much denser and better tric development Spread her apart for now, harvest the tops and let the bottom go for another week or so. Good luck

I do the same thing, works well for me

If you don't double harvest sativas, you're doing it wrong!
