Other Side of the Fence...Where the Grass is Always Greener

It looks to my untrained eyes that she is about a week at most away from harvest. I am seeing more cloudy trichs now... I am really not very good yet with this little microscope, but I can see things enough to guess 20% cloudy. Looking inside of 6 different buds... 3 tops.... Yea they were a little cloudier, but not much more than the other three from lower on the stems. What do you guys think?

This Saturday will be exactly 7 weeks of flower.

Alldaytoker, that looks amazing. really beautiful.
Since this is an open thread, Id like to post you all a question: Ive been feeding my plants 15-15-15 in soil during my vegging time. Now that Im about to initiate flower, would this 15-15-15 be compatible with high P bat guano, or would it kill it off? What would be my best way to go about this? Also, the fact that Ive been adding some 15-15-15 to the water, will my soil now no longer be "ROLS", re usable?
I really hope to get an input as soon as possible, if anybody would be able to guide me to finish my first grow successfully :) THANKS!
 
Don't see an issue running higher P during flowering Benbud, most around here do just that. I would hold off making any changes to the feed ratio until 2 weeks into flower, so the stretch phase can take advantage of the high N. Your plants will tell how to adjust as you go through the flower period.

Some strains are more N hungry than others and you just have to read the plants. Just post pics often and if you notice any burning, clawing, or fading of the dark green throw some pics up so we can take a look. Track your feed, water schedules, and feed ratios so we can advise with that info.

Can't help you on the ROLS question, Gandalf has several organic gurus on his thread including himself. You might post the question there if he or some of the other growers don't pick up on your post here.

Good luck man, keep up the good work. You're heading into the fun part!

What is your breeder flower period for this strain? Some plants go 10 weeks some less, helps to know that. Looking at the pics, I still see a lot of white straight pistils which tells me the flowers are still growing.

Usually, when the white have all receded and you have a fair amount of brown hairs it's time to really pay attention to the trich cloudy to amber ratios. You will start to see the stems below the caps bend over and a few ambers here and there. For me that's the sweet spot. I will have no clears trichs left.

Again, that's just my preference. My smoke buddy want me to run a batch late into harvest for a more couch lock high. It's all in what you like.

Yeah man just chillin'. Been buying a bunch of gear for my tri-bike. Had it in the shop this week for a tune and re-fit. Working with a tri-athlete coach over the winter to get in shape for the season. He's busting my balls.

Getting good smoke reports back from my last harvest of the blue og. Wish I had more, haven't been sharing too much cause I'm a greedy bastard!

How about you Big what's new?

and cool to get good smoke reports, I got a few myself, tho its not so much Bc. of greediness, more about safety/stealth that I don't share more

Ooh yea and nice bike, similar to my mates, Im more in to motor bikes you know, tho I do have a nice +2K $ mountain bike (Nishiki) with SLX parts fitted all around, I use at winter time as my motor bike don't like icy roads

the the breeder recommends a 7 - 8 week flower period. Aside from that, wow! Thank you for the detailed response!

Dude, you need to fill up that closet of yours. You are too good at this to have it stay empty. :)

Good to hear from you Slip. I look for you when I log on here. Starting to get cold on your side of the world I bet? We have a nice 70 degree weekend to look forward too, one of the benefits of dealing with the hellacious summers.

I used to be more into mountain bikes. I really like trail riding, but it's tough on my joints. Settled into road bikes as new diversion from dirt. I really like the new fat tires that are coming out on some of the dirt bikes. Yours sounds sweet. Plants doing well?

Not too much going on in the beer front. I slowly buy equipment as I come across deals. Researching recipes and drinking a lot of craft beers to define my palate. Still leaning towards the strong pale ales from Belgium as my favs. I do enjoy an IPA and Imperial Stout as a welcome change.

I have my eye on a 15 gallon stainless boil kettle for x-mas. With that I can cook up a batch of beer with my starter kits. Something to play around with as I buy the more expensive professional equipment. Damn electric controller is $1600 unassembled! Have to pace myself otherwise wife starts giving me weird looks. Ha ha.

No prob man, I'm here to help when I can. Yeah with that photo period you would be wise to check often. You will be getting into the sweet zone pretty soon.

Don't rub it in, wife is using my grow closet to store x-mas presents for the kids. Embarrassing.
 
Cold weather is beginning to hit the UK too.

Went to my local town today and the car read 3C at 9am.

Its now 16:46 and its 8C outside.

Might have to block up 2 of my 3 passive external vents tonight. Lol.



Brrrr!

Lol... Every damn night I think... I'm chopping her tonight...and she gets more weight and starts bending over, I'm so glad I held out, because the buds added significant bulk.
 
Those nugs look wonderful..

I got mad at my grow and stopped taking pics for a few days. lol..

Cotton Candy threw nanners out at week 4. Chopped her and her 5 clones. ALL herms.

Nothing was harmed because I caught it just in time(Or so I will hope until harvest)
