As for vegging, also good info, but I'm going to try my level best to cut that stage out altogether. I see a savings in time, nutes and energy (mine and the electric co's).

That makes a lot of sense for you, especially using the Producer. I have to admit, I thought you were flipping the switch a little early, but I think you've proven, you hit it right!
Sorry for the multiple consecutive posts, but I was just checking Bandit420's journal and ran back across this exchange with him (he's a very good grower!) and Blue
BTW...when I spoke to AN, they explained that they use a 4-week veg cycle and a 7-week flower cycle on their nute schedules. For veg, when you plan on vegging for longer than 4 weeks, you should maintain week #4 veg nutes until you're ready to flower.
On the 7-week flowering schedule, it's basically increasing nutes for the first four weeks of flower, then reducing for the next two, and flush in the final week. But, AN says that if you need to flower longer than 7 weeks (including flush), to maintain week #4 flowering nutes (the highest PPM's before reducing) until three weeks before flush, then start reducing as prescribed.
So, since it looks like I'll have a 9-10 week (minimum!) flower time, I'm gonna try to maintain their exising nute schedule a while longer.

Hey WeednFeed I'm jumping on late but I found a seat and it's fun to watch you and Mr. Krip roaring down the stretch together. Sisco and I did it last time, it's great to have someone to compare notes with.
You sure have a lot going on here, beautiful looking girls!
This makes the most sense to me too. Kind of stretch out the middle and keep the end the same as much as you can.
I have a theory, lots of growers are going by the seed company info, especially newbies how would they know differently. So then in the prime of flower production they cut off the nutes and basically starve the plant those last 2 weeks. Maybe the stress of that improves the trichs? I don't know.
All I know is that the test buds I kept trying, starting a month before harvest for all my strains, ranged from blah to not too bad right up until the last week or so, the difference was exponential and happened in a matter of days. And there's nothing worse than going through all of this and ending up with 'gee I thought it would be better than this'. I should know, I went through it twice before I finally learned.
Bandit and I both did the darkness almost by accident, and neither of us noticed any changes. I did 4 days for Lucy and 5 for the Bubba Kush. But I had watered them the day before. If I did it again it would be at the end of the watering cycle, not the beginning.
Have you guys seen this? It's not too early to start thinking about your dry & cure and if you don't have Cal III hygrometers they are well worth the money, about $20 including shipping on ebay. I'm posting this now so you have plenty of time to save up
This is from Thinkerr on SS's last thread.
this is what -------- has been posting for curing ----------
It's a very simple and effective process:
Cut the product, trim it per your preference, but don't dry it until the stems snap. Take it down while the stems still have some flex, but the product feel dry on the outside. This is a perfect opportunity to drop the dry-feeling flowers onto a screen and collect prime-quality kief that would otherwise get lost in the jar.
Jar the product, along with a Caliber III hygrometer. One can be had on Ebay for ~$20. Having tested a number of hygrometers - digital and analog - this model in particular produced consistent, accurate results. Then, watch the readings:
+70% RH - too wet, needs to sit outside the jar to dry for 12-24 hours, depending.
65-70% RH - the product is almost in the cure zone, if you will. It can be slowly brought to optimum RH by opening the lid for 2-4 hours.
60-65% RH - the stems snap, the product feels a bit sticky, and it is curing.
55-60% RH - at this point it can be stored for an extended period (3 months or more) without worrying about mold. The product will continue to cure.
Below 55% RH - the RH is too low for the curing process to take place. The product starts to feel brittle. Once you've hit this point, nothing will make it better. Adding moisture won't restart the curing process; it will just make the product wet. If you measure a RH below 55% don't panic. Read below:
Obviously, the product need time to sweat in the jar. As such, accurate readings won't be seen for ~24 hours, assuming the flowers are in the optimal cure zone. If you're curing the product for long-term storage, give the flowers 4-5 days for an accurate reading. If the product is sill very wet, a +70% RH reading will show within hours. If you see the RH rising ~1% per hour, keep a close eye on the product, as it's likely too moist.
Hey, I just noticed those stars up top. Was that you xlr8?
If so... here's your change:

I'm humbled and grateful. Thank you.
You're welcome - you've done a great job with this journal. Keep the change!

HiWeednFeed, this is looking absolutely amazing,
I salute you
And me! You should have two votes!
LMAO!The mutant just keeps getting more dense. If it goes the distance, I'll be drying it individually in a dehydrator to be safe. This one may need taxidermy.
When I began my grow I decided that I would wait until things were set to cure before trying any. BlueDog put a bug in my ear about that decision. I caved yesterday by taking a little bud off about half-way down. I selected one that had some colored hairs and placed it on top of the Producer for the day, turning it frequently until it seemed to have the correct moisture content. Several hours did that trick. Then it went into my crucible of love (*ong). Took two draws. Little-to-no taste or odor. I was expecting something moderately green, chlorophylled, nitrated and crappy in flavor. I got none of those. In fact I got next to nothing at all. Very bland experience.
About ten minutes of reading passed and I had nearly forgotten that I partook when it occurred to me that my face was numb. I thought, ok... maybe there's something here already. Cool. Sat back and got back into my book and in short order my extremities felt an excitation. Cooler. It was then it occurred to me that Fyodor Dostoyevsky was not going to cut it.
Now I'm starting to feel like I took rather than smoked something. Cooler turned to Holy Shit rapidly. I wasn't high... I was narced. Being a consumer for nearly 40 years and having had the good fortune of smoking some really fine bud all over the world (no stranger to the coffee shops of ADam) I can safely say this was different. I won't say better than the rest, but I will say totally unique. This physical high was soon-after accompanied by a fantastically creative and motivating high. None of this "I'm going to sit here on the couch and make a plan to make a checklist to get up and maybe do something shit". No, this was a real artistic motivator!
I chose to direct what artistic talent I have remaining into making a great playlist and then commenced with creating a great big pot of Jambalaya. Four hours later I went to bed. With ease.
Imagining what this stuff will be like after maturity and curing is now my new hobby. I have three more of these seeds and have elected to guard them with my life. Regardless of it's reluctance in cloning I am committed to reprising it for motherhood. I will never be void of this strain for the rest of my days. Never thought I'd be saying that... especially early in the process.
Having had WW in the coffee shops, my eagerness is now renewed when considering what it may turn out like here.
Last night felt like a culmination of labor and love. My labor, your love. I am profoundly grateful to each and every person with whom I've had the distinct pleasure of acquaintanceship or merely having read your posts. You people have treated me with extraordinary kindness and have shared your knowledge with me freely. Throw those sensational vibes into a bowl with Euforia and Jambalaya and you might best understand how this has left me feeling.
If it all ends tomorrow... I'm fulfilled. I'm a lucky guy!!!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Great news Bro! Nothing like hitting 'holy shit' on the stoner meter and looks like you're headed into the 'holy fucking shit' range soon
Did you sample the ww or the euforia?
My ww clones have me pretty concerned, they more or less stopped growing over a week ago and I'm not even 3 weeks into 12/12. Hope I don't end up with a bunch of 8 inchers, do they stretch late in your experience?
Thanks and keep it rocking my friend!
Hi Weed! Pretty awesome to hear that you had such a good sample bud. Sounds like a bit of a creeper, which are fun. I grew some Snow White (related to White Widow) that was good creeper weed - and holy shit strong. The kind of stuff where you go from - "huh, I'm not really high" to "oh wow I can feel the hair on my head, the socks on my feet and my face is numb!" Sounds like you've got a winner there! Oh yeah, was it WW or Euforia? I was confused by your post as to which you sampled...
I have to admit, I'm watching your Euforias with interest - if they are as good as they look I'm putting it on my seed list.
Looking good my friend!
