Another First Time Grow

Doesn't sound good to me!

Do You mean the light making pistils orange doesn't sound good?

 

[InTheShed]

Yes. Nothing should turn your pistils orange but time.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

they have been stressed the whole grow with all the chops and changes , surprised they didnt herm on you , . let them finish without cutting any more parts off

or pollination from a nanner , will know if they retract back

 

[NuttyProfessor]

did you only feed one liter ? should be ten liters at least , a liter will only wet the top coco and barely touch the roots , my rule of thumb in coco feed daily half the pot size , if you have a 20 liter pot feed 10 liters daily ( light feeding )

 

[Reave]

I saw some low feed numbers elsewhere too but my 3 gallons in pro mix get 6 litres. I basically feed at 2 litres a gallon. It actually retains water though unlike coco.

Ahh ok got it, I'll check. Hopefully I'm wrong about it.

I water 1 gallon usually, 3.79 liters and I get about 15 % run off so maybe my Coco has a higher amount of perlite. Doesn't retain much water

Exactly why I water less Reave. 2 liters and my medium seems almost fully saturated at the 3 liter mark I begin getting runoff

More and more sugar creeping down the leaves might be picking up a 4000k fluorescent light from work to help pack on some more weight for the final push

More light is great, but the flowering spectrum is closer to 2700K if that's an option. I veg and flower at 3000K.

Ahh got it, I'll have to pick up another bulb some time soon

 

[barillaro]

Without the LED on this is the white light exposure. The light was free but not much penetration, only decent exposure to the tops

With the LED on

Are there any tricks to help trichome production?

 

[InTheShed]

More light! Also nutes, environment, and genetics. Some growers say that UVB light in short intervals helps as well.

 

[barillaro]

I'm going to have to look back to see when flower started. I noticed a couple Amber trichomes the other day.. I'll be out of town from May 31 to June 2nd so I hope it will still be developing at that time

With all those white pistils it looks like you have plenty of time.

Yea some of the colas are getting pretty decently sized so the extra time is definitely appreciated. When drying do the buds get smaller as well? Is there like a rule of thumb to go by for wet weight vs dryed?

 

[barillaro]

 

[InTheShed]

They definitely get smaller as they dry, and the general rule is that dry is 20-25% of wet weight.

Ahh ok thanks for the quick answer shed. Hoping for at least 5 ounces wet then

Who doesn't!
