Ohh you still got a while...no doubt.
Are those rooted clones or...? looks like the tips might be burning? or is the PH off maybe?
only three of the clones are having issues. i changed the nutes to 1/2 and i am running the ph at around 6.5 I run all my plants at that. I fleshed them with micro blast when hey first started to do that, nothing changed. thats why i was asking about superthrive. do i add it all the time or just during the cloning?

Well in soil you can use it all the time (in veg). Anywhere from a teaspoon to just a drop per gallon. But IDK about hydro. If you are using another rooting hormone i'd just stick with that rather than trying to use both.
I've never used rockwool. I assume the rockwool cubes are sitting in some amount of water? If you could oxygenate that water....I'm sure that would help. Like I said my clone didn't root till I added the airstone.
I'm still tryin to figure out the message system in this place?
Seems like there's more than one type of message. Some I can retrieve, some get lost somehow? :joint::peace:

I am still figuring out the program myself. I have to keep login in it gets annoying after a while.

Here's the start of week six. started using a cracker so i hope to super size my buds. I figured on poping one a day Intel harvest. can't wait to get a decent co2 set up.

Looking very nice! Wtf is a cracker? LOL
its so u can release co2 from a 8 gram cartridge. unfortunately i didnt know that they had 8s I already have 12g's cartridges. so i am popping them with a nail. here is a pic of the cracker, it has a spike in side so when u screw the cracker together it brake the seal on the cartridge.

I switched from standard microbloom to hard water. and i think its fu.king up my plants. i move them to a my budding container so i had to add 7 gal of new water/nuts. some roots got riped off during the proses( had to separate to switch) heres pics.

Ehh....the rest is coming down in a few days. This one will be dried and ready to sample by then. It was farthest from the light and wasn't really growing anymore.

I see. i didnt know if that was true or not. I cut buds of my first plant and it seemed to me like it quit growing after that.

it has seemed to me that on some plants the branch buds mature 1st, but on other plants the main cola buds mature 1st. Every strain is different i guess. But I usually take some early samples and save some of them to compare to the more mature buds that go a little longer. To see what I might prefer. I never noticed any negative affect on the rest of the plant. I figure if i harvest some early I'll have some heady high buds and harvest some late I'll have some body high buds to choose from.

sh t it says here that once they start turning amber quit nuts????
Yeah, but they're talkin about the trichomes NOT the hairs.
Trichomes wont turn amber till she's almost done. I'm just starting to get a few amber trichs now. Less than 5% I want just a few more, about 20 - 25 % amber :weed:

You're TOO early IMO. I would only do this after 7 weeks on an 8 or 9 week strain. Your buds would prolly get you high, but they would be harsh, and the high would be short lived. Not really worth it IMO

thats good to know. I will wait tell its all finished. I want to let them sit in the dark for 2 3 days before i harvest(sticky). i do need to get a scope so i can tell when its getting close. i have a microscope but its imposable to use.
