Hi Everybody
Are these plants ready for harvest?
The fan leafs are drooping and dying for my current grow of Bohdi seeds Blue Tara, I'm not sure what the issue is. (I also have 2 Bohdi seeds Synergy in the same grow but they are doing good) Some things I think may be the reason for this are that the plants may be root bound, they may have some nutrient deficiency or nutrient burn, or they may be well past ready for harvest. I'm a fairly new at growing (5th grow) so I'm not sure if any of these conclusions are accurate so that's where you guys come in!
A jewelers loupe confirms the trichomes appear to be mostly clear but otherwise the buds seem to look like like they might be ready to harvest, they are dense, completely covered in trichomes, and most of the pistils are shrunken and red/brown in color.
Here are the grow specs:
Soil: Fox farm ocean forest soil amended with worm casting, bat guano, bone meal, blood meal and a few other things, mixed, and left to "cook" for a few months.
Planted March 5th
Switched to flower April 23
Veg stage:
4x4 tent
600w air cooled MH
2 gallon pots
7 weeks
plants were extremely healthy throughout veg.
Flower stage:
5x5 grow tent
1000 watt air cooled HPS
transplanted to 3 gallon pots
almost 8 weeks so far
The Blue tara plants started to appear unhealthy several weeks ago and have progressively looked worse.
Here are some pictures of the 6 Blue Taras (and 2 Synergies)
