I'm not sure. I haven't received my magnifying glass yet. According to Herbies, Kandy could be ready in as little as a week from now. But I really hope not because I really stunted her bud production. She is going to be getting straight water from here out, so she will be ready come harvest. I should have the magnifier any day now to check how the trichs are looking.

Thank you!
 
MaPilot, Kandy doesnt really look sick to me. Im seeing a lot of brown hairs on her. Her colas are drooping like that because they are getting heavy and the smaller stems cant support the weight. From looking a the plants hairs and the way she is acting it looks like she is almost ready to harvest.

I hope you receive your loop soon because you really need to check some trichomes!!! I believe Kandy might be getting ready...

Bubba, On the other hand is full of white hairs and is still up and growing.

Hope this helps!

Edit to add: The last stages of bud production before harvest is the calyx swell rapidly... I believe this is what we are seeing with the colas falling down. Maybe someone with more grows can give you some input.
 
Thanks Hunter, I ordered a new microscope that should be here tomorrow. Ill check then. However I have read that Too much nitrogen would cause the weak stems and red hairs..... Her buds are just way under developed, So i hope she is sick and recovers before harvest. I'll know more tomorrow!!! :)
 
Update, Kandy finally needed water, I gave her plain water ph'ed to 6.2 trying to lower N. Her runoff was 6.5 so PH isn't the problem, I'm sure it was too much nutes. When I fed her before her issues it was 1/2 dose of tiger bloom and Big Bloom. That i guess was too much. Its been 5 days now and NO bud production, she has stalled and looks sick every day. I hope she pulls through soon, otherwise I will pull her out and concentrate on Bubba.
 
Bed production with auto is best in the last 2 weeks im sure you will see her explode then.

Do you think it could be possible that bud production has stopped as it's ready to harvest? I've heard that auto's usually give a much smaller yield than photo plants.. also from videos i've been watching the stems often collapse from the weight of the buds at about harvest time. If she has got some time left yet I see a guy using a good technique with yoyo's, here's what they look like if you haven't already seen them:

Thanks for the link, I'll have to check those out! I'll know later today when I get my microscope and look at her more closely if she is done or not. :)
 
Update day 58.

I am proud of Bubba, She is doing so well. Kandy on the other hand.... Well I am disappointed. I will check her later today. Still no growth. Leaves still drooping, Buds are airy and small.....

Hope everyone has a great day today!
 
I wouldnt worry to much bout kandy mate my Purple cheese that i just harvest has very airy buds but man its some of the best bud ive smoked and i aint tried any of it cured yet lol
 
Also my AKR at the moment i recon i will get 5g dry if im lucky but the crystals ive not seen so many before i bet she will be the best smoke i will ever have. I would rather have a small amount off really good bud than large amount of average bud. But that just me.
 
Ok everyone, I checked the trichs and all are still clear! So she is not done yet. Lets cross fingers for a recovery!
 
Ok, so the jewelers loop came in the mail, I checked Kandy with it, and she had cloudy and amber trichs. She has been harvested now. Very light airy buds. I think i threw out about the same amount I kept. I tried a test bud I cutoff two days ago and got WAYYY stoned! But a good kind of stoned. No anxiety and no hunger :)

So Just Bubba left now, I figure she has another 6 weeks or so. She is looking very healthy and her buds are growing every day. I'll post pics later.
Hope you all are having a nice day!
