Setting up dtw coco 2.5x5 tent

[Billy the Mountain]

I'd be more concerned why the reservoir is turning cloudy in the first place

Who ever said yielding a p in here at once being tough if possible at all. This idk what it is but its not half a p. Qp maybe if I am lucky. I only ran it for 6 weeks though so maybe I can perpetuate and use this strain to get more.

Also need to upgrade runoff pump tubing. Its kinked bad, not sure how it didnt cause a flood or whatever.

I need a solid build for the pumps. Same thing can happen to feed tubes. I didnt know the tubing weakens and takes a morphed shape like a twisted kink that easily collaspes.

My dehuey is only running here and there set to 40% and tent is behaving in rh. So perpetuating each side with younger plants and older plants can help with that. Trim jail less intense.

Dry weight? And that looks like a bit early of a chop. How long did it flower?

Im trimming it up now to dry and so far it seems like 4 oz a little more or less but too soon to say. They are very dense.

6 weeks flower but 90% of it was ripe it was just the lower canopy that could use more time under suboptimal conditions that come with one plant one big canopy.

Breeder estimate as rule of thumb said 8-9 weeks which I could let the clones go longer next time but if theyre smaller trimmed up plants maybe it can finish about the same time.

As I trim the buds most of them are fully plumped.

I know I chopped early, it was the most I could handle, rh was going out of control and colas falling over. The biggest plant I got to run to finish but perpetuating so expirience will come fast. I dont want a big plant like that again.

I took a real good look at it and considered it my first window of preference that I could lose to mold and just couldnt do it. Very lucky it grew as fast as it did. If it needed more time to make it yield a lot more I would of had to wait but I just saw 90% ripe.

By the way those are fraction of yield in pics I will show it all when done.

The plants don't look done.....not just the trimmed buds. Let those plants grow. And never care what a breeder said for weeks. I'd say you where easily at least a month early.

There's no strain I'm aware of that is remotely close to done in 6 weeks.

The right one will go longer, the left one was going out of control. Its 100% better than last time. I lost the whole plant to mold though I over packed it but not much more than this.

Im used to ending up empty handed at this point. I got very lucky. Now I know the whole tent cant be rocking full buds at the same time.

I am stressin trying to get a routine going. Could of ended up worse with yield exposed to mold. I waited too long before and this will help move it further next time. Now that I see theres no mold.

Thing is I wouldnt run my plants as long as a lot of folks here recommend. I chop soon its all ready. I cant count how many times one asked if this is good and folks say two more weeks.

I know 6 weeks is pushing it but if I got 4oz I would consider that a step forward with my grow history. But its not impossible for it to be harvestable.

Whats an appropriate amount of time you tend to see your hybrids go with your expirience from flip. I thought 8-10 weeks then you look at ripe with a lot of hybrids where its receding its last white hairs and works on tricomes aging if its not done already.

Why I feel like some people run for 15-20 weeks. Ive ran autos for 13 weeks flower with people telling me wait 3 more weeks or longer.

Im happy as you would be with a first few harvests after so much disappointment. But even at my best with everything going my way yall would say 8-10 weeks aint enough time either despite how it looks.

I just dont get that part but I know I should grow to please me and I was very pleased harvesting under these guidelines last time but a bit earlier this time. Because its just too on the line. Electric bill is climbing and just screwed up already IMO and need to try again.

 

[medidedicated]

I wouldnt say remotely, to say if I say, yield 4oz that I would of have 6 or 8 oz if I waited 4 more weeks. I dont believe that. I had a 25 week auto and watched it grow. It did not make a difference and could of salvaged a big bag of screw up weed vs nothing had I known what I did now.

I didnt chop at 90% white hairs like some newbies do which yes could cut half the yield. I even did that to find it smokes fine albeit I havent perfected dry/cure.

Smoked weed for 10 years, its rich around me, meaning good good weed is made around me. I had versitile dealers too of different grow methods. From bottom to top tier. Then post legal with everything my state has to flex.

My last harvest smoked pretty good and got me baked and so did the rosin. Compared to everything Ive smoked it was good stuff. No cure. I had a friend try my stuff and say it was pretty good and they had the best weed for long time available.

With that said I think I am just developing my own style and chopping when I do is probably going to be one of those preferences. I think as soon as it buds you have bud. If mid and late flower go well you have the majority of your yield albeit the trichs some may want to let amber.

Theres no frost or further growth once the bud is ripe. But then theres trich ripe but thats aging not development. I had old live resin once good now taste like crap. Its fresh produce IMO. Just sharing, not ranting, of my opinion and welcome yours because I been wanting to say this for a while.

I do get positive feed back saying these things scattered throughout newbies post asking for opinions. As if maybe some of its right.

I have another plant in 6 week flower right there. That to me is too early to chop. Out of curiousity I am going to do a “another 2 weeks thread” and see what happens. I believe 10 weeks is good but sure a good few will say another 4 weeks.

I would want to really know what I am waiting for and why. I will show yall the most ripe I am willing to go and compare.

Tent rh is very very managable. Power bill decreasing. All I have to do is keep half the tent in early flower and I can run it longer. Like with this plant, I can run it and see how long I get suggested to end up running it. I have clones so this could be tested and will be.

Just to challange everything I just said and currently believe in. Hate to realize when I am being stubborn and willing to change that I am just almost 100% positive on this. But If I am wrong Id like to know better, I just dont see it at the moment.

You don't have to start a new thread for the info. This is how you tell when a plant is ripe.


"The signs of ripeness are pretty standard for cannabis plants.

First a few of the pistils begin turning color and start receding. Your plant is just starting to ripen. Depending on the strain you could still have two months to go. We're just starting this journey.

Two to four weeks later you'll notice that most of the pistils(>80%) have now changed color and curled back into the bud. It's frosty, way bigger than it was a few weeks ago(aren't you glad you waited), and smells dank! It's time, right? Not a chance killer. Patience is a virtue.

Over the next 2-3 weeks it doesn't look much different, maybe a little more swelling in the calyxes, and the rest of the pistils change over, but the stems are starting to bend under the weight of the buds. These ladies are putting on weight internally by adding density and now the buds are doing their final ripening.

Now you begin looking at trichomes, on the calyx, not the leaves, and harvest according to your preference. When looking at trichomes it’s essential to look at them from the side. The bulbous heads can magnify the opaque stalk under it. Looking from the side allows you to more accurately see the condition of the resin in the trichome head. The point of waiting for "some amber" is to allow the majority of the plant to actually reach the fully cloudy stage, and not be partially clear still.

There is still no rush to harvest, the window just opened, and you have several weeks before you MIGHT start having to think about it possibly beginning to get too ripe. It takes WEEKS for plants to mature not days.

It is very easy to harvest a plant to early. It is very hard to harvest a plant to late. I’ve never seen someone accidentally wait too long. "

What are your average flower runs in weeks since flip? Hard question to answer but what are your shorter and longer runs?

 

[medidedicated]

Finally done. Disappointed I chopped pretty early but I was under a lot of pressure. I feel a lot better though.

 

[medidedicated]

Just got done after two days trimming. I must be slow or what. But now my orher weed finished drying a little more than wanted. Distracted trimming but now need press 2oz asap. Maybe now. Maybe an all nighter like the good days growing up.

I don’t count.

when I used to keep mild track of weeks it was from the point the plant started to flower, not from the flip point. Flip point is an arbitrary number. When the plant begins to flower is an obvious physical reaction.

from flip I would say the shortest has been probably been about 10 weeks. Which would be 8-9 weeks of actual flower time.

Ive had full sativa plants that took 14-16weeks of flowering time, which would have been 16-18 weeks from flip.

on average most plants need at least 10-12 weeks from flip.

I have never had a plant finished in less than 8 weeks of actual flower time.

 

[Thundercat]

Plants finish when they finish, no sooner. Sometimes that doesn’t fit into our plans unfortunately.

I have also found that the best plants for potency and flavor/smell were rarely the fastest finished or highest yielding. I always picked phenotypes that had the best effects and the best flavor/smell.

Im happy with the rosin sample from sample buds taken before this. Wow it nucleated first try and smells mighty dank. Not gonna be hard on myself, I have clones and can try again and now know the strain a little bit.
