Strain: crystal meth,
Veg: 50-60
Flowering: 50 days

Tricomes still milky/cloudy so will of course judge ultimately via the tricomes. But she is getting nice and heavy. I need to hold some branches up with Velcro strips lol.

I will be starting a mollases flush...

How many weeks do some of you pros think? I'm a first time grower, so I'm practicing patience , that's why some pros would help lol

Looking good almost read by the looks of it. I dont use molasses in flush only straight RO water. I use molasses in weeks 3-6 of flower but I will go longer for longer flowering strains. Once you start to see some trics turn brown it is ready.

Thanks for the reply. She is a slow strain, if the trics don't amber I will let her go.

I might go with a flush of mollases this week, my one issue with a full water only flush is the bottom half of my plant is going to need to mature another 2-3 weeks after I cut the top. The bottkm buds look like the top ones did 2-3 weeks ago(this is where I think I got a few more weeks for the bottom). So I don't want to do full water only flush if the bottom needs nuts yet.

She is so heavy that I thought a branch cracked off but it was just really hanging down , I did all exercises (fans, squeezing the stems,etc) so I know the branches are strong its just so heavy ass bud.

Me three.

10 days to harvest.

Using a weak molasses / humic tea with the occasional plain watering.

Leaves are yellowing nicely.

Great to know guys, keep me posted on our schedule! I know we all have timelines but I wanna hear if anyone goes longer due to the trics not ambering.

Humic tea....hmmm..will read more into it.

Just took some clones (yes I know I'm late) but figured never too late and when I harvest and cure I will have some new babies going.

Actually rotated her in the tent...massive buds. So heavy I needed to velcro more up

If you're in soil use molasses from veg until around 4-5 week of flower, then switch to something like "sweet", "bud candy" or i use "sugaree" by cutting edge solutions for weeks 6-9.
I flush with nutes at quarter strength and sugaree at full strength.

For flushing use only water. I flush no more then 10 days and at least 5. I use molasses from about late week 3-early 4 flower until flush. I start at 2 tsp per gallon every other water/fed and work up to 4 tsp per gallon every water/fed the last 2 weeks of use. I also harvest at 100% cloudy or close to it, I do not wait for amber as I like my thc not degraded.

thanks for all the advice guys, I'm a first time grower so still learning the ropes.

When I say flush with molases, I shouldn't use the word flush...I didn't use it all grow so adding it in few weeks out should def help....and I used the word flush since I wasn't using any nutes (besides what's in molases.)

My last week I will do a true flush, water only.

Thanks everyone!

Great info here guys. My baby is gonna get her trim on Sat! Still not many Ambers on top, but the hairs are pulling back, buds are darkening.

The Tops, are ready. The bottoms of the tree is not, but i will simply re-start the nutes if i need to.

Got me a hydrometer and a seperate tent for a controlled enviroment.

Need to get me a 10-20lb CO2 for the next grow. I do have a 20oz paintball tank rigged with a regulator to spit CO2 into the tent, but it runs out too quick.

Thanks! Drying two top colas at around 65-75° , humidity around 35-40%

Still has a fresh cut smell (chlorophyll) so I know she needs to slow dry longer.

Smells SPiCEY....

Wonder if I smoke some if I'll get a buzz yet (of it stays lit) lol

Get your humidity up to around 50-55% when drying. Low humidity speeds up drying time which is not good (IMO) .Keep temps the same. You want a slow dry if you can. Also, if you're in soil start adding molasses from vegg until around 4 week of flower then switch to something like "sweet" or "sugaree" for the rest of flower.
