haha 3 gallon sizes for the nutes! heck no! that would be enough to last you forever. mine are in 32 oz bottles i believe. you dont use much of the grow big and one of the bloom nutes(i forget which one exactly) but the other bloom nute, u use a pretty nice amount. i would just get the 32 oz bottles, you will be good with that

Once a person sees what a Ripe Tree looks like, they will never need a Microscope or to ask again my friend.

So, how do you know?

They will look like they are about to die.....literally and then they will take on a Glow, that is unmistakable.....trust me....you will know that you know and will never doubt again.....no matter the Strain.

If you have no choice, but to cut early, try to at least wait until your Trichromes are at least 50% Amber and like any fruit, it will continue to ripen to a point during the drying and curing process.

I hear people talk about the " One Hit Wonder Strain " and does it really exhist......especially for those of us with high tolerance, that medicate daily.

My opinion, is that most powerful Strains are capable of being " One Hit and Done, " I just do not see allot that are being allowed to fully ripen these days.

We all get into positions, but the best position is patience and the ultimate payoff at the end for a man or womens time and effort that they have put into their Trees.

She definately is a Sativa Dominant and I actually had one, one time also go about 18 weeks.....always worth it in the end.

Blessings,

i've been using them for a few years. i've tried just about everything out there and keep coming back. be sure and use the cal/mag supplement cause the nutes are a little light there.:weed:
i'd use about 200 ppm of the bloom nutes to finish off with. keeps buds fatter and it doesn't leave a chem taste.

That is usually what they will do; " pulling what is left out of the bud leaves and then completely retracting the hairs. "

However as this picture will show, this is a top bud of a nine week Strain and has every indication of being done and in this picture it was 13 weeks into flowering and still only had milky trichromes in this picture.

Thes girls are truly " done when they are done. "
However, I believe the quotes on the length of time on the flowering of most strains, is based on when they can be harvested and still be great medicine and not actually when they are officially done.

Wait for that glow and it is unmistakable, but yes it does take a while to get it their.

However, the difference is making great medicine and one to two toke and quite medicine,Lol.

First of all, Conrats on what appears to be a successful grow!

As far as when they're done... Get one of these... and wait for the trichomes to be milky, or golden brown....

i know all these ppl keep talking about trichs, but us that have payed enough attention to our grows and have gained knowledge will tell you that the best way to know when it is done is by looking at the pistils. NOT THE COLOR OF THE PISTILS, but when the pistils start to retract back into the buds. When the hairs start to go back into the bud, that is basically your female saying "fuck getting pregnant, i havent been fertilized yet and it aint gonna happen!" Trichs are an alright indicator, but the only thing they are really dependable for is telling you what kind of high your gonna get from your herb. whether its couchlock or uplifting.

as far as where i got the nutes for a good price http://organic-hydroponicsupplies.thebigtomato.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?
there ya go bud

While you're waiting, buy a cheap microscope from Ebay so you can check the triclombs to see if it's truly mature or not. I just bought one for less than $15(including shipping), and it was delivered in 3 days. It does the job perfectly, and even though it's a piece of crap,lol it was well worth the money. Works much better than a magnifying glass, or a jewelers loupe.

I dont know what that is it cant be nute burn they have only been feed once 3/4 strength in the last 4 weeks. I thought it was a 8 week strain so i flushed and swiched them to straight water at 6 weeks. then when you guys told me two weeks i gave them one more feeding nothig since then. I thought the fan leaves were supposed to start to die like that. starts in the middle of leaves starts yellow turns brown and brittle. BUT 2 MORE WEEKS :cuss:lol you guys are killing me /sigh ok ok i will listen...
