Did you mean week 8?
End of week 7 is 49 days, start of week 7 would be day 43.
Oh Shit, your right! Well I suppose the flush will be pushed to next week.

That means harvest is during Xmas...

Good call, man! Stoner math.

They may be ready to come down before day 55. So Today is actually day 40.

Did a check on my calendar and figured out where my mistake was. Apparently I don't know how to count and completely skipped a week.

I jumped from Week 3 - 5.

Trichs = Some Clear
Will likely start the flush this weekend. To me they look like they will finish prior to 55 days. But I'd like to let them go as long as possible. I have read that they are best at 60 days. Just play it by ear I suppose. One of these days I'll get a digital microscope so I can take some pictures.

Quick Update.
Water change last night
-PPM = 690 - 850
-PH = 5.62

Nutes GH Series: <--- This is my ripen Formula
Gro = 0ml
Micro = 20ml
Bloom = 60ml
Kool Bloom = 0ml
Floralicous Plus = 7ml
Flora Nectar = 60ml <---- This is basically synthetic molasses

Green Crack is at day 43 today:

Well, This is the second on Green Crack for me. It isn't a huge cola producer. More like tons of decent nugs. The dude I got it from said the same thing. She just isn't a baseball bat type girl.

So much easier to trim nug balls off of the stem than to deal with this leafy monster:

Flush started yesterday!!! Finally, lol.

Here is my routine:
- 10 gallon Tap water - Ph = 5.67 | PPM ~ 250
- Tonight will be a ph check and PPM check.
- Wednesday will be a full flush with a flushing agent and RO water ph'd.
- After that will be one more swap just tap water for the remainder of the grow (ph'd).

-If for some reason the PPM jumps over 500 I will be doing another res swap.
---If the ppm's do go up that means the flush is working. Or water has evaporated. For our purposes we will assume that it is helping to pull excess nutrients from the plant and roots. This would be a good time to go into osmosis and stuff but I'm really not that smart. If anyone has any comments or "simple" explanations of osmosis please feel free to share.

***Day 49 = 12.17.2013***

The PPM's went up to 436 from ~250 last night. I'll be doing a swap tonight R.O. water with a flushing agent. Then it will be tap water for the remaining 6 days.

Let the count down begin! Hooray!! :hump::hump::hump:


Just a little sneak peek:

This is by far the frostiest girl I have ever grown. Also it is one of my best grows. I am really diggin' this scrog Stuff. It is a bit more work but it is worth it to me. Just a super even spread of energy. A couple of the buds outgrew the others but all in all very even canopy.

How big was the scrog? How many tops did you get?
Well my tent 4' x 4' so I built a 4' x 4' PVC frame. The net I used was from the local hydro shop. They are 6" x 6" Squares I believe. From what I have read 2" x 2" seems to be the standard.

I have noticed that some of the larger branches needed a little extra support but I just used wire tires.

As for how many tops.... I haven't counted lol but theres is a lot.

This is a pic from last week:

You are welcome to count them, lol.

It's cool doing the scrog. Because even without a light meter I can (well the girls show me) tell where the light is more intense. Those tops are fatter and juicier. I'll try to get some more pics up tonight.

I used 5 gal RO and 40 ml of Final phase last night. They drank up almost all of the water in a couple of hours. So I'll be doing another rez swap tonight. 10 gal of tap water for the remainder of the grow.

As for yield I have no freaking idea, lol. It'll be enough to last until next harvest I am sure. My goal has been to hit 1 gram/ watt. The highest I have achieved so far is .5 gram / watt.

So running a 600 watt I expect at least 300 grams and hope for 600. Should be right around 10 oz.


Now onto the final days. Flushing has been going for a couple of days now. I am now onto 10 gal of tap water. If the PPM's rise over 500 I will do a swap. Ph is maintained between 5.5 - 5.8. Sometimes I let it swing into 6 but never below 5.5.

Here are the Girls Day 52:

Oh and just to show what kind of genetics this girl has. Here are some shots under the canopy. These are receiving shaded light at best and still super frosty. Will be an amazing hash run after the new year. MMMmmm I love me some hash.

Trimming begins today!!! Watching the game drinking beer and trimming, smoking and trimming. Pics up tomorrow.

Also, just bought 4 new pairs of scissors.... I guess I lost my other scissors in the move. I have no idea where they are. Oh well. At least it's harvest week.

:leaf:Merry Christmas!!!:leaf:

I'm maybe a 1/4 of the way through the tent. We only trimmed for a couple of hours last night. And I love SCROG!!!
So much more fun trimming a bunch of fat nugs then just one big cola and a bunch of tiny shit.

Anyway here are the pics. I tried to only post clear ones. but it is from a phone:

Needless to say we are not done trimming. I'll be leaving work today going to knock out another chunk before dinner. Then try to finish everything before Thursday. After that it's off to Vegas for a week and New Years.

Not sure How everything is going to work out. I do not want to overdry my buds. So I may have to jar them and bring them with me... IDK. Just play it by Ear I guess.
