sorry lads i ment water,, i finished newts 2 weeks ago,, yeh soil really dry and even the buds feel dry but very sticky,, i can smell the caramel frm her now beleave it or not,, great idea with the coffee kang and i hav lots of plugins going and ona blocks with only little affect..right so ,no more water for her..thanks guys

 

[Harrekin]

if i stop feeding her now will she kinda end quicker??? its been 3 days now and soil is very dry

Water and feed until the very end, just after the chop you need to slowly dry (minimum 2 weeks) and cure (4 weeks minimum is best, it's smokable once it's in the jar tho).

If you fail to water before you cut the plant will close its stomata to conserve water, this will actually add time to your dry/cure as opposed to taking time off it.

Just an FYI.

I think my problem ae was when i had salt build up before i got the 'drip clean' stuff to prevent salt build up my ec run off was 2.8ec and i thought i was using way too much nutes so i cut them way back and now the need alot more and i was too scared to give them more as i am used with soil and water-feed water-feed with very little nutes and feeding lots of nutes every feed was alien to me, i hope this is the problem cause i am close to throwing in the hat with coco if i dont figure it out soon, they are still under the 250w mh

oh i know the feeling, starved my third lot if i remember right which was the first time i messed with nutes, and then gave them too much, sill thing and stoned when feeding is not recommended...hahahahaha

Are you hand watering or using a system of some variety?

If you're using a hydro system of some kind try switching to clay pebbles, they hold very little water and nutes. (I knew a guy who was running an Atami Wilma with Coco and switched to pebbles cos the Coco got lots of salt buildup and bits of Coco blocked the pump).

Why not go "pure Hydro"? It's what I'll be trying next run, yields are supposed to be mental. Plus no issues with having to remember to water/feed (that's my reason for wanting hydro believe it or not).

can`t wait till i can afford a nice little system myself....

 

[kang420]

I am doing coco hempy atm my first try with coco/hempy but yeah i know hydro would be good, i dont get any salt build up now since using drip clean in every food

thank you.. i was planning week dry week cure and then smoke my pants off

My system (cos I'm a daily smoker and hate being without) when I chop I always start: watercuring a bit straight away...throw a nugget on the radiator...throw roughly a half ounce in a warm place and let the rest dry slowly and then cure slowly...it's absolutely unreal with a proper cure, Amsterdam is for noobs after you try your own proper dried and cured.

Hope this helps.

Get a clean Dolmio (or similar) jar and stab about 20 holes in the lid.

Put some buds in it, put the lid back on and fill to the brim with water.

Change water daily by pouring it out the holes in the lid and refill it. Once you've changed it 7 times over 7 days hang up the buds (and they'll be dry in less than 24 hours).

It'll be smooth as fuck immediately, but strangely it has absoloutly no smell or taste except a slight mint flavour...you can smoke it indoors with the Gardai and they'd never know.

Anyways, my point is the watercured bit is ready in 8 days from chop, the bit on the radiator will be ready in 4-8 hours, the bit hanging in the warm place is ready in 2 weeks and make hash if you need something right away
