Beginner Grower, 3 Weeks In Autoflower

[Greeenman]

Oh yeah, thanks for pointing that out.
I have just had a good inspection and couldnt see any pests although sometimes they are hard to see. A few weeks ago I made a foliar spray from water and black strap molasses which apparently is a good insecticide aswell as letting the plant absorb nutrients through the leaves especially the underside of leaves. I think the shiny resdiue of that spray is what you see in the picture. I hope so anyway!!

Whats everyone's opinions on the yellowing fan leaves ? Is it normal for this stage of flowering?
And should I remove them ?

 

[yogi gardener]

imo only, looks like light nitrogen def - your at what 4 weeks now? whats your h2o like? I tend to not feed save for molasses and cal mag myself if ive built soil well enough and i use rain water (excellent ph but devoid of any mineralization.)

 

[Greeenman]

Any thoughts please??
Still got a few white Pistiles there and the Trichomes are looking pretty clear.

Still looks way too early to me. You need to see the trichomes up close.

That is cool, I like this one that I can move all around the plant and look at different areas without having to cut anything off the plant.

Lots of sellers sell these. I got the one Amazon recommends and it was about $25 and works great.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i have that one too , takes a steady hand and it falls over a lot more lol

 

[Rickstertp]

That part is indeed true. I have all kinds of setups to look at different parts of the plant.

 

[Greeenman]

Got a microscope of my great uncle Tony !!
Them buds are starting to stack !!!!!!

 

[NuttyProfessor]

That part is indeed true. I have all kinds of setups to look at different parts of the plant.

i just looked at my one the box charges and you can remove from stand so you have a BIG screen and no charger to worry about it charges and holds the charge lol any way i like snipping buds to look at , ( you get to smoke them then )

Getting closer to harvest day now!!!
Had my morning inspection and have seen what appears to be white powdery mildew on a few sugar leaves and bud sites!!!!!!
Fuckkkkk, im so scared thats its going to ruin all this hard work and time. I actually feel like crying

 

[Rickstertp]

What is your humidity level in the tent? You can wash in a solution of hydrogen peroxide that should get rid of it when you chop it down. If it's not too bad, you should be ok. Do a search here on the site for how to wash the plant.

 

[Greeenman]

To be honest I just have it in my spare room, no tent and no humidity tester so not sure exactly what the level is. thanks for your help i will look into washing the buds.

 

[Greeenman]

Here are some pictures to show how the buds are getting on and where I can see what I believe to be wpm!!
My plan is to wash the buds after cutting and then start the drying and curing process.
Whats everyone's thoughts on harvesting?
Thanks again for all your time and help through this process. It has been great having your expertise.

 

[Greeenman]

Is this bud looking ready for the chop??

 

[Stormblessed]

Looking close, how do the trichs look?

 

[Greeenman]

Under the magnifier the trichomes appear mostly cloudy to me. Although I have a beginners eye. I probably would have waited another week but the reason I want to start harvesting now is because I have noticed a few patches of white powdery mildew and I have setup a cleaning process which I'm going to do before drying.

 

[Greeenman]

Went for the chop !!!!!
I done the cleaning process just in case of any wpm which I think there was a little.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with what I got of my first ever plant. Hopefully no problems over the next few weeks as it all dries and cures. Can't wait to try her out
