Cfl Grow Box, blue mystic, opinions

no doubt they are looking delicious

visible progress?

Yeah, what's going on? Anything new to report? Your Mom didn't make you cut did she?

haha no not at all, although my sister came home from college, i think shed try to steal it heheh, there was huge progress, i was in washington dc from Wednesday to sunday, so i put a huge plastic box under the plants and put nutes and about 2 gallons of water in, when i got back all off the water was gone but the buds look fat and juicy. i am sticking with this system just so if i go away unexpectedly or something the girls dont die, i wanted to wait to post pics so it showed a huge difference, will post pics tonight, and thanks for the support guys, also im wondering what things i should do for harvest, as i plan to harvest in 2-3 weeks, like 2 days dark, flushing only water, ect let me know, thanks a bunch and go smoke some bud everyone!!!

For harvest this is what I plan to do, but it is open for change. My pot is about 2 gallons so I will flush with 6 gallons of plain water 2 weeks before I expect to harvest. It should take a couple days to dry out and then I will water with plain water until 5 days before and flush again with another 4 gallons of water. That will be the last water she gets. Then two days before chopping I will put it in complete darkness. It supposedly ramps up THC production because it thinks it's the end of the world and is trying to protect itself. Then I will move it into the closet and use a green light to see. I'll chop it without exposing it to any normal light. I'll then hang the entire plant to dry without chopping it into smaller branches. This will make it dry slower than if you cut it up and trim it. Then after 6 or 7 days I'll cut it into smaller branches and trim them. These will then go into jars for curing and I'll burp them a few times a day for 10-20 minutes each time for the first week. Then I will start reducing the frequency that I burp them until they appear ready for long term storage.

If anyone wants to comment on my planned method feel free. I don't have enough experience to really know what I'm doing at this point. The whole 48 hours of dark at the end sounds good, but I think it just speeds up the ripening at the end. If it is ripe and then you do the long dark period I think it could overshoot your goal, but this is all speculation on my part.

Post some pics Blue. I want to see those babies!

They are looking great Blue. I really like Izzy. What day of flowering are they at now? Also be careful about keeping them sitting in water. It's fine for when you go out of town but if you do it regularly the soil won't dry out and you'll be inviting mold and fungus to grow on the soil. Then you have to deal with fungus gnats which are really annoying.

Hey yall,
quick question, in the past 2-3 days the girls leaves have been getting lighter and lighter shades of green, is this normal for a flower cycle or is somthing wrong? cheers
ps. today marks one month of flowering, yay

hey bluemagicman it could be a number of things a N deficiency or it could be a pheno type of the plant.

is it the lower fan leaves?

it cant be a nitro deficiency because i use 10-10-10 nutes every other time i water. its kind of the whole plant, its all 3 so maybe over watering?

heeelllooo. subd. I am thinking about blue mystic being my first seed order so ill stick around and see how you do bro.

plants are lookin beautiful man. as far as the yellowing leaves check the plant help section of the site to see what the problem might be. its a big time help.

i did blue mystic, they tend to need extra mag...........

so should i start adding a little epsom salt? how much per gallon?

try 1/2tsp / gallon to start with

thanks, will it just dissolve with the reg nutes or do i need to mix it with water in like a cup than put it in with the water/nutes? thanks, also i have decided to chop june 5th, my birthday, hehe, so what preparations should i make, like if i wanted to make a drying box how would i do that, also flushing and that stuff???

overwatering would come in as wilting i think

Best bet is to mix it up by itself (if you want a smaller amt, just mix 1/4tsp with 1/2 gal) and then add some to your nute mix

Flushing starts about 2 weeks before harvesting, just water, nothing else. Leaves will get very yellow.

As for Drying your nugs, best place is to find a non humid area with good air circulation (obviously if smell is an issue, use your grow box with carbon filter) Hang buds vertically on a coat hanger or similar for 4-7 days until no moisture remains. Then, throw them in a glass jar to cure for a week, opening the jar once a day for a half hour to breathe.

plants today, wadda yah think?
