Newbie Grower Reserve Privada's Headband grow from seed to 4th week of flowring now.

[Howard Stern]

Thanks for the info Howie you have been a good help. The buds are really getting fat now glad you told me to wait but oh the siccors are coming soon. What Nirvana's do you grow I have a free seed growing now called Crystal hope she turns out to be a nice grow.

Post up pic's before you cut her down bro and let me take a look please before you do cut her. Oh and Nirvana strains that I have grown so far is Northern lights, bubblelicious, Wonder Woman, Snow white, AK-48........ I think that is all that I have grown. I just switched my WW and SW into flower so I am excited about those. I need to get my fat lazy ass out there and check on the ladies!

I went and got a scope I need to start flushing like right now I'm 70% milky 30% clear hopefully I can chop her down in a week or two.

Umm..... If you are 70 milky then she can be choped anytime you want to! When mine are 70 milky she is done! Some people like to wait till they get amber but I have read that as soon as they trich's go amber that is the point in the plants life when the THC starts to break down and turn into CDB. When was the last time you fed her and what did you feed her with? I leave a 2 week period at the end that I just water with plain water. But you can flush her and chop sooner but I have never done it that way. If you are looking to flush her then you need to flush with at least three times the bucket size in one day. So if you are growing in a 5 gallon bucket you are going to want to run at least 15 gallons of water.

I may be talking over my head with the 70% milky thing I was still at work on lunch trying to hurry up and check the lights are off now can't check till the a.m. I last fed her on last friday and want to start the flushing this friday I bought some stuff called flora cleanse to start the flushing part. Hey Howie did you put yours in the dark the last week or atleast 72 hours I heard that forces more crystal production.And also my due date was supposed to be on the 21 of this month but idk I'll try to post some scope pics to help you see if its ready tomorrow. Once again thinks bro you are the only one that has given me som info so far besides the net and a book. peace bro

Hey no worries about the help bro I got alot when I was new and now it is my turn to help if I can. And hopefully you will help others later! I have read about the whole dark period before harvest but never tried it due to not having the room to do it in. You can give it a shot but to tell you the truth I would just flush her and chop her. If her due date is a lil later lets get some pic's up and see what you are talking about! Take some trich pic's and some bud pic's also. If you can't get trich pic's that is fine but I would like to take a look at what you are talking about. GL brotha and I am looking forward to looking at some pic's later.

 

[Howard Stern]

Hey bro give your plant a good look over, I just pulled another RP headband due to hermie. I took some pic's of what to look for on those little buggers.

 

[Damon Jones]

I did I took some pics of it under this hand scope I got I cant take pics with the other scope I got. Sorry to hear about the RP hermie's you had bad luck with bro, but check out my close up's and I'll go check your hermie out. Let me know if possible if Im close to harvest or two weeks still. My other bag seed that smells started producing pistils soooooooooooo happy about that 60 days and counting.

 

[Howard Stern]

Hey bro that lil lady is way out! At least 2 weeks bro. You are going to want to scope it when your white hairs start to turn amber and pull back into the bud. Then scope the trich's. To me she looks at lest 2 weeks out.

 

[Damon Jones]

Okay ya I thought I was way out so when should I start flushing her in two weeks or after the two weeks have passed?

What are the directions on the flora clense that you bought? I don't use anything like that so I would just follow the directions on the bottle. I just cut off all nutes two weeks before I cut the girls down and that works for me. Some people like to flush with 3 times the pot size with fresh water. There are a few ways to do it.

Hey, how would you rate the difficulty on the Headband grow? Went out to L.A last year and got hold of some from a local grower; it was some of the nicest bud I've ever smoked. Taste & smell incredible! But after hearing about hermies and what not Im a bit reluctant.

Were yours normal seeds or femmed?

It was ok to me being it was my first grow easy on nutes can withstand alot of abuse well atleast the one I have. I got another bean to sprout hopefully I can keep it as a mother plant didn't clone this one because I'm still considered a NEWBIE. All in all I would definitly grow this strain again b/c of the crystal production and the smell. I wish I stayed in the west coast I would have all kinds of plants growing at one time.

Yea mine were femmed seeds

 

[Damon Jones]

I will have some more pics up tomorrow showing the beginning of the flushing period 2 more weeks and she's coming down. My next plant is in full flower now sure hoping to get a successful grow off that 1 until then peace out

Sounds good bro but be sure to wait till the trichs are mostly cloudy a lil amber never hurts.

Oh bro I am that scope from radio shack is just what I needed. It looks like the two top buds are going to ripen ahead of schedule it has some milky and almost turning amber trichs on them.I don't want to chop it down b/c it's fattening up and turning hard to the touch I really want to try the 72 hour darkness thing but I have some research to do on it before I try it.Once again thanks for all the info you gave it has really helped me out peace bro.

Chop one, and leave the other one to do a side by side test on that 72 hr dark period! If it works then you should be able to tell the difference between the smoke right?

But how can I if I not growing in soil?

Chop one cola when the plant is done and hang it out to dry then put the rest of the plant in the 72 hr dark period like you planned. Then when all is curred smoke them both seperate and see if there is a difference.

 

[Damon Jones]

Ok here are some pics my camara is acting up so I could only upload these few pics. I've started the flushing process some trichs are milky a few still clear,but the top cola's have some amber in them. Almost harvest time peace.

 

[Howard Stern]

She doesn't look ready to me bro but if you are seeing some amber and you want to take her down it is up to you. No matter if you take her down today or in a week she will still fuck your ass up!
