KingJohnC, I've looked at the options and think the ph adjusted water is the simplest possible solution so I'm trying that one first. I know my ph... at least going in.. is correct and I think it's probably too late to start nutes again, or do much of anything else at this point for that matter. I think the point may be moot now though... dpending on how long it takes for trichomes to fully change to amber? This morning I found a few... not many... but a few trichs that looked like they were tobacco stained color. YAY!!
If they change fairly quickly I shouldn't have a problem... if it takes weeks to change then I think my plants will be dead first? Also, I only saw the ambers on the Lemon Kush and the Haze. The Skunk didn't have any although it's almost as yellowed and wilted as those two. My Wild Child doesn't even concern me... almost all of her leaves are still green and she's still bulkin' up! She's definitely on her own schedule. Is there a point where someone's gonna say.... "Oh, you left them too long so now there's no point in harvesting.. throw them on the compost pile"? The thing I've tried to do throughout this whole grow is to not make any rash decisions. I've tried to not get excited, not over-do anything, and take advice from those I trust here. I think I'd freak if I put over 4 months in this for nothing! I really don't see that happening though. Hey thanks for the advice all!
I have no idea! The package for the Lemon Kush said 70 days and we're 5 days past that but no worries. KingJohnC informed me that the breeder's figures are likely for commercial type lighting...not the CFL's I've used for this entire grow.... makes sense. I have 4 different plants and not one of them is showing even a single amber trichome yet. If they don't get some color soon I'm going to have to go by the % of pistils (which also indicate they are not ready yet). Worst case... I'll harvest right before I declare them dead.
