1st timer over here - help me out please

[LuCKY527]

Hey hey happy 420 eve!! I still don't have my 100x scope so I'm getting kinda frustrated because I now have this going on...
Some sugar leave at the very top are starting to yellow and get dark spots...Any ideas guys?

 

[LuCKY527]

Anybody?

 

[PeytonManning]

If you're past 5 or 6 weeks of flowering, it's perfectly normal. As the plant gets closer to harvest, it uses up its own resources.

Thank you Peyton. The buds have been plumping up but I was just wondering if maybe it was a deficiency and they could be fatter lol...wishful thinking in a way

 

[LuCKY527]

Wider is better lol no pun intended

 

[PeytonManning]

as long as your nutes have a good PK ratio, you shouldn't worry. they look good, so now it's the fun part of seeing how fat they can get

 

[LuCKY527]

Edit-what's a good PK ratio? I use the Fox Farm Trio, and my Tiger Bloom is 2-8-4 w/ Big Bloom ( 0.01 - 0.3 - 0.7+bat guano and worm castings & trace minerals )
And the last 2 weeks I've need adding Grow Big 6-4-4...I've seen good reviews on the rest of the line but I'm sure there are other ways to boost the PK??

 

[PeytonManning]

You'd have to check with some soil growers here. I do very basic hempy grow with Lucas formula and am unsure of what the guano and all that contains

 

[LuCKY527]

Ok so I got my scope today...my trichs are all still super clear!! Which is awesome and kind of a bummer at the same time lol plus now I'm curious if my leaves should be so deficient this soon??

 

[PeytonManning]

If it's that skunk that's at 9 weeks, it's not a deficiency. Its just using up its own resources

 

[LuCKY527]

Ok so for those of you who are curious how she turns out....

I just finished my week 10 feeding going on 11. My nugs are looking muuuuch better and the smell is just Ahhh lol.
My trichs are all still clear though they mushroomed out and are starting to droop a little so I think we're close, hairs are turning orange and the leaves are cannibalizing nicely....

If I start leeching with PhD water, will this help the trichs turn to amber? Or am I just watching the grass grow

 

[CronicHempHog]

itll turn amber on its own as it starts to degrade

 

[LuCKY527]

Thank you all for your help
I'm at day 53 here and she looks BEAUTIFUL!! Trichs are still mostly clear though, I would have thought more cloudy by now. Kind of makes me wonder what I really have??

 

[David Bowman]

Trichomes typically don't start to turn cloudy until the majority of pistils have dried out and changed color. Right now time is spent by the plant creating trichomes so they will still be pretty clear.

 

[LuCKY527]

Ok I have no problem with more trichomes lol so should I keep feeding then or would you suggest I start to leech? I wanted to grow it for pain management but I don't want too much couch lock in the same breath. I was considering taking the top while it's cloudy and then letting the lower nugs mature a little more, but I've seen a few people advise against that.

 

[David Bowman]

Yes keep feeding her flowering nutes, you can flush the last 1-2 weeks of harvest but you are at least a few weeks away from that right now.

 

[LuCKY527]

Yeahh that's what I thought...this is a really slow strain apparently, but on the bright side, I believe my buds should really fatten up in the last few weeks. According to what I've read anyway. I'm just tired of waiting lol I currently have some meds from a buddy, but it wasn't flushed properly because it's kinda harsh and won't vaporize so whenever I catch a whiff of mine it's like a kick in the pants.

 

[WhoDatSmokin]

I'm new to Mary Jane cultivating. I started my current plant 4 weeks ago, could I get some feedback.

I hear that! I had had no cannabis for nearly 5 years prior to harvesting my first grow and I almost made the mistake of chopping too early. IMHO, once you get a stash going the anxiety and impatience drops significantly. Just hang in there, you won't regret it once you have reaped your rewards.
