Newbie grower wondering how long till harvest

[420bunni]

I have a XJ13 clone that i am in week 7 flowering. There is almost no information on the xj13 flowering time. I am doing a organic grow using fox farm soil. I started flushing her 1 week ago, hopefully that wasnt too early. Any input on how much longer i should flower for would be amazing!

Looks like all your trichomes are cloudy, yout light makes it hard to see the trichomes in some pics. Best to snip a few small samples from various areas, like tiny leaf clippings, set them on white paper and look. Generally you want mostly cloudy with some scattered amber trichomes. This is somewhat opinion, some like all cloudy, some like a lot of amber, I personally like mostly cloudy with amber scattered about a third amber.

I ended up chopping her today as the top king bud was so heavy the branch was snapping. Tried a bit and its gonna be amazing(i think) after proper dry and cure

I always sample my stuff after chopping. I'll cut off a couple small buds and have them speed dry for test, I love to see what is in store for me.

Was this your first grow?

 

[420bunni]

Yes first grow. Now i know to use a silica nutrient to make plants stronger. My buddy recommended rhino skin so im gonna try that for next grow. I ended up getting 70 grams fresh bud. Not sure what thatll be dry. But im happy with my first harvest

advanced mj growing techniques: popping, topping and pruning back stretch...for a better yield

Rock on. If I understand correctly your final weight is usually 30% of the wet weight. Although not sure how solid that is but personally I go to the low end so I can be surprised if it's more. My first harvest was a bowl pack or two ha-ha. Looks like you grow in soil? I'm know nothing about soil, it wasn't for me so as far as nutes and whatever rhino skin is, not sure but I'll be looking into it now. Again nice job on your first harvest, for real.

Yes i used fox farm organic soil. I did full organic grow and the taste of that is super. Im not even going to try and guess the dry weight. The soil seems to be very forgiving which is why i tried that first. Rhino skin is a potassium silica to promote stronger stems

Fox Farms isn't totally organic. FFHF is considered organic, but it's not totally organic.

Picky picky.

Just trying to help you out, man. It grows, as many here know. I just figured I'd inform you. Are you using FFOF or FFHF? Both are embraced around here.

 

[420bunni]

Ocean forest.

Ocean forest.

Yeah, OF is typically used more often than HF, but it's HF that's considered the organic one, because you team with microbes in HF.

 

[Olive Drab Green]

I stand corrected, both use organic matter. They're like, 80-90% organic. It's actually a wonder that neither of them are OMRI.

Who knows i may pick up a really good organic soil for the baby plants i got atm

 

[Olive Drab Green]

Honestly, FF isn't bad at all. But FF Happy Frog is easier on your seedlings, if you're interested in that.

Atm ive just been using clones from dispensaryso im not worried about it being gentler. However when i do seeds after i get things tweaked around for growing i was thinking about the happy frog I've heard good things bout it
