NIce, I like to cooltube! Did it help with temps a lot? Girls are looking good.

the temp drop allowed me to move it closer to the plants. its a couple degree lower with the tube. ~82F

how r ur girls?

i think harvest time is nearing. on some of the older easyryders, most of the trichs have turned cloudy and the hairs are over half red. i have started flushing one to prep it for cutting in about a week. damn the yeild is pathetic for what i had hoped hopefully the younger three wont disappoint me, they look much more promising.

this is my first time flushing/chopping so advice is needed please!

in other news, my roommates decided they needed to turn the heat on which made my box get too hot with the hps in it so i was forced to take it out. now i have 6 cfls and the 90watt led

here are some pics:

left 3 are at 5 weeks, closest one is haze and the rest are easyryders. right 3 are at 7 weeks and are all easyryders


easyryder at 7 weeks. looking close to done? im pretty sure the crispy edges are from high box temps and lack of water one weekend. i dont think its nute burn but opinions?


easyryder at 5 weeks on left, suprisingly bigger than the older ones (on right). i think thats b/c it vegged under led


haze freebie seed from Dinafem @ 5 weeks


the runt easyryder @ 7 weeks. trichs are over 2/3 cloudy and 2/3 of hairs are red. should i flush and chop?


easyryder @5weeks. the runt of the second batch.

let me know what you guys think!

bump. help me out guys. any info on flushing/chopping would be greatly appreciated. the oldest girls have been going for 7 weeks from sprout. crystals are turning milky and the hairs red. yummmm i cant wait!

Its hard to tell from the pics but it looks like you have another couple weeks. Try to get a few clear close ups of the bud and that might help us give you a better idea. Do you have a scope to look at the trics?

yeah i looked at the microscope and most of the trichs look milky but it is my first time harvesting so im a little unsure if i would know what they look like when theyre done. i think i'll probably give it another week at least

I think thats a good idea Try to wait until most of the pistils "hairs" turn redish brown and the calyx's swell!! Lookin good though!

FINAL UPDATE

plants are dead. im down a lot of money. that pretty much sums it up lol

went to harry potter world for a few days and came back to some dead plants. tried to have my boy take care of them for the weekend but i guess he wasnt sure what to do. blame falls on both of us i guess.

maybe next time?

thanks for following. shout out to smelly for being there the whole time. this whole thing has been a good learning experience. only wisdom i have to pass is to start out with a cheap setup. no need for leds even tho they are a joy to work with(no heat).

got a zip and a half anyway. stoned.

That sucks man sorry to hear about that... Thanks for the shout out anyway
