1st outdoor small time grow. think I can chop yet ? -Medicine Man-

Like the title says, think its ready yet? I lost count of weeks let me know thanks.

These are tric pics sorry the quality still new to this microscope.

I will get a plant pic also for you.

This is strain Medicine Man

Hi Buddy, I’d wait just a little longer for the tri’s to start to show amber! It’s looking well on track with most looking milky, but I can still see some that are clear and if you chop now you won’t reach the full potential. I’d guess about another week! Great job bro!

Thanks I am going to take a shot of a top cola tri. I will surely give it a week thanks so stoked on this small grow . I did half veg inside and then took them out to do its thang.

Looking real sharp there buddy! Do you have any pics of the full plant?

Yes that's coming charging camera, the pics here are from the pc microscope thingy. Going to update post with top tric pics give me a min.

Here is the top cola trics..

Looking nice, should be perfect in a week or two buddy!

Sick pics

Well here goes the pictures I promised lol. I started the pics outside then took em in for more shots. Trust me I do not use the lights you see for flowering lol. So I should give her 2 weeks ya think, if so then 2 weeks it is lol.

Looking good man! If you haven’t already I’d start watering with just plain water (or flushing) to remove the last nutrients left in the soil? Will help with the final product!

flushing is for toilets lol
Anyways looks like you are getting there but yeah still a couple of weeks away. Good luck

Very good! Although I do like to wash all the nutrients out of the buds. It helps the flavour of the smokeable buds and a very clean tasting hash I make with the popcorn and trim....

What is the process for washing the nutrients out of my buds?!?

Very simple, just use plain water during the last two weeks of flowering to allow the plant to use up any nutrients/ fertiliser up in the soil. You'll see the large leaves start to lighten in about a week as the stored nutrients are being used up, I find it makes the taste and smell of the buds cleaner. I also stop watering 2-3 days before harvest which helps to reduce this even further, sweeterning the buds up and helps the controling of drying of the buds.

So how does that remove nutrients from the buds? I understand leaching nutrients from soil, but where do the nutrients in the buds go?

Up in smoke my friend.

Up in smoke

The nutrients are used up in the process of bud development and more importantly any final N is used up during photosynthesis, which is why the leaves begin to yellow. Any excess nutrients are leached out as you're not adding more nutrients in the final stages and ultimately lead to a reduction of these levels throughout the plant. Chlorophyll is the main thing you want to remove fully, thus why you phase out N during flowering, as the plant still needs small amounts of this and pulls the residual N from the main leaves.

Flushing was debunked a long time ago. You can't flush the nutes from the plant only the soil. It's what is called bro science but yet there are still firm believers in this. Many many many threads on this very topic if you use the search bar on top.

Oh. I like my buds to develop until the day I chop. Seems like the peak time for terpene production is the worst time to make your plant unhealthy...
