the time seems to be flying by at this point
the big question was will my fan leaves last all the way
answer seems to be no, they are yellowing way too quick
but the bud doesn't seem to be having an issue, continues to swell
and they are getting fat, big balls of white
and this is a white strain, bud checking will be a new experience

thanks for the dank thoughts, looks good at the moment
if the strain does what it's supposed to do, the buds should swell a lot more in the last 2 weeks, should double in bulk
but we'll see at the final weigh in

Oh yeah, she is definitely looking prime! Looking very good indeed! How big are those buds would you say? They look massive!! I'm quite jealous :)

thanks for the positive votes trifase, potseed
buds are maybe 3 inches in diameter
the leafiness makes it bit tough to tell exactly, going to be a trimming chore for sure
i'll post some new pics later, try to measure the little devils more closely

7 weeks of flower, what a mix of healthy bud and dieing fan leaf
i stuck by my plan, used the same nutrients that my NL seemed to like
i do have 2nd thoughts now that some more nutrient may have helped
more nitrogen may have been better
if i can reveg this strain, i may try just that
bud odor seems to have settled into final stage, skunky mint
lower parts of the larger buds about 3 inches across, 2 inches near top
but i'd be surprised if it puts on too much more bulk with all the fan leaves gone

hey chb444220, nice of you to drop by
the yellowing may just be the strain, some strains/phenos will ripen in this way
mostly i just like to drive myself crazy second guessing
i just won't know for sure until the final haul, if it's a OZ or better, probably had enough food
so i wait, probably 2 more weeks
i will post up on the niravan strains thread you made as soon as i harvest, like that thread, lots of nice info

hey growone, thought i'd stop by and show some love. the grow looks sick man. i am a newb at this but i have heard of plants naturally yellowing near the final stages because they suck all the sugars out from the rest of the plant and shoot them to the buds. maybe some molasses may have helped? in any case looks sick, let us know how it is...maybe ill try nirvana on the next grow.

thanks for the lookin bluntz, that does sound like the deal with the fan leaves
i did use a molasses tea throughout flower
but this 1st nirvana grow seems pretty sweet, i do have more nirvana seeds
just popped out a Cali-O for my next strain adventure
7 1/2 weeks of 12/12, i'm getting a little more happy every day
the lower fan leaves are just a disaster, but at this point i don't care
the buds are ripening big and juicy, so screw the lower fan leaves
the other development is the pistils have started to change color
happened fast, almost overnight, but quite few have turned
they are not red/brown like many other strains
much lighter, i believe that is the white strain signature

well who really gives a shit about those leaves unless you got a garbage bag full to make some cannabutter. the leaves around the buds are the greenest and healthiest so i guess that's a great sign. did you notice a difference using molasses? how much did you mix in to, say, a liter of water?

is true, just makes for some strange pics
i add 1 tsp of molasses per gallon, i think that's about 1/4 tsp per liter
when i feed, i use 2 quarts of a tea that has 1/2 tsp of molasses
that's a lean tea, i could bump it up a bit i suppose

Really it all looks good bro ur doin work I'll be here for your next strain also

glad to have you along, i think i'll keep the title pretty much the same
just sub Cali-O for PPP, already looking forward to that one

chb444220,

thanks for that info, white strains seem to have a different 'ripe' pistil color

Attic
good luck with your lst, it's treated me well so far

8 weeks, now i'm optimistic
the lower fans may have gone by, but the buds remain green
and the buds are definitely still swelling, and they are dense
it's a strange sight, as the pics do show
bud yield seems to say it was fed sufficiently
but i haven't seen another PPP grow log that had this pheno
