Will do a day 56 flower update tonight. With pics
The end of week 8, this is where i get impatient. Not gonna jump the gun on this, but im looking at another week, or so. These babes are fading fast, except ww. I think they'll be done on day 63, but will check trics and let them go another week if i have too. Dam i love this time of the run, bc its crunch time now, wanna get some bud that gets me right and tight. And thats mostly cloudy with a lil amber. If i see that on one of them they'll all get harvested.

Patience!

Day56 flowering
Dont know what day anything is in veg tent, been slacking real bad this grow. Veg plants are looking great, and the last auto is definitely fattening up, but tric production sucks as far as i can see. Got an extra clone(plant), bro still hasn't come get it. Been training veg plants with the lst clips, these things are great. And save alot of time, but im tying down too.
The flowering tent is nice. These are some of my frostiest plants. I thought the glookies was frosty, the og got her beat, and the gscookies got all they asses beat!!! That bitch is almost white. Cant wait to smoke her ass. Checked trics they're not done, I'll check every couple days seeing about 50/50cloudy/clear with an amber here and there. All of them look about the same, the ww had mostly clear, so she'll take longer. But if og and gsc are done b4 her she gets chopped too. Had to try and tie the og and ww up, gsc is leaning hard too. Man the buds on these plants are dense af, especially the og, dam her buds are rock hard. Reminds me of the glookies but these buds are long and thick. Gave all plants some water, I let flowering tent go a couple of days b4 watering. Everything gets plain water.
Was thinking another week, but they look like they might go longer. Not enough fade for me, ive noticed that letting my plants fade pretty good, the buds are tastier, and cure takes less time for me. Pics

Hell yeah man. I think they'd be fine for chop at the end of the week. I shoot for Sunday if you can wait. Sometimes they just won't fade though. I stopped counting days long ago. Lol I can't keep track of all that.

Im with you, keeping track of days in veg is a waste once you learn how to read plants, and get where your ready to flower. Yeah im with you on the chop, but im not happy with tric color right now, but by sunday they could change. We know those trics change quickly at the end. Getting ready to go check your thread out, to see how things are going in that jungle of yours!!! Llol

Felt like snapping a few to stare at!!! And to look at trics. Still a few too many clear but seeing more cloudy, and amber. Might go ahead and chop sunday or monday. Still know fade on white widow, but she flopping over big time. Might use net next time just to have something to hold them up. Seems like alot of work we'll see.

Day 59 trics.

 

[Chrondocious]

They look bomb! I don't look at tricks any more. I used to, but sometimes, they just never really go amber or whatever, or the plant produces new trichs everyday, so those are gonna be clear, at least that's my logic. I don't think they're fading, partly cause genetics, and mostly cause you're medium is probably in point. I've heard others say that your plants shouldn't fade if they have every thing they need. Leaves are shiny. They look perfect to me. Looks like a sticky future. Lol I bet you'll like that ww. Them some dense looking nugs.

Yeah i agree with all that, i always think the same thing, and most of the science on it now says you should almost always wait until your plant show senescence. Plus i love the colors. It might be she was started about a week later. But some of her lower leaves are starting to fade a lil. She might have to much nitrogen too. She does look great and her trics are close to the same as the others, so they all get axed monday. I know they have mostly cloudy with a few amber now so Monday they get it, and will give them there last watering in the morning. Its been a great run and i have a gsc and og ready for flower tent. The gsc is beasting out In the veg tent. Plus i want to get those northern lightsr autos going, it says it takes them 75days to finish.

Definitely gonna harvest these plants monday. The og is just too dam dense. Shes uncontrollably flopping all over got her tied up, but shes bunched up and dont wanna take a chance on mold getting her. Gonna run her again so, if shes not right ill go longer. Same with gsc. Gonna pop seeds after this and do a sea of green run with 6-8 plants in 3gal pots, maybe 2 gals if i can find some.

Ok today is day 61, plants are looking done. Got og kinda hemmed up, and the ww is turning purple, some of her leaves look like they got black on them. The gscookies is ready, but i wanna harvest all at same time. I'll check trics tomorrow. Last check they were mostly cloudy, with a few clear and amber. So lights have been on for 18hrs a day in flower tent, and im gonna start a 2 day dark period tomorrow night and harvest Tuesday.

So bro said he dont want this gsc so i guess she goes in a bucket tonight. Got some coco left, so ill go with a 50/50 mix of coco and foxfarm OF. Ill mix in some veg and flower dry amendments, along with a lil earth worm casting. So gonna have 3 plants in flowering tent again, and gonna try a trellis. Got 2 just incase. Also i took 2 clones from og ill also get another from gsc, these 3, if they make it, will be used in my sts spray down to try and get some fem seeds of these two. I think they make a good cross.
Snapped some pics of their last days.

Day 64 harvest day
Plants received about 36 hrs of darkness, and now they're hanging to dry in tent. Everything went w/o a hitch. OG lost a branch, and so did WW. The smell is awesome. During darkness, the temps in tent were 68 and humidity is at 50%. Not too bad, hoping for at least a 7-10 day dry.
Also put small auto in there, its been about 3-4 days drying for her. Maybe 2. Shes getting crunchy on outside so a couple more days.

Veg tent gals are ready too start flowering. They've got about 2 weeks before they get flipped, maybe longer wanna try to fill the net. Ordered some tent poles to try to keep net stretched and to keep sides from sucking in to bad.
Heres some pics.

Thanks bro

Ok last auto is dried and in bag. 29grams which brings my total for all 4 autos to 4ozs. Not bad for a lil side harvest. And the smoke isnt bad at all. This shit smells great and hits pretty hard. I'll give 420 fastbuds a B rating, the only problem was size of plants. The genetics are great, if in the hands of a pro auto grower. Im not that! But all the seeds did eventually pop, and produced good bud. Also no density on any of the plants. This last one is very fluffy. Which is great for rosin pressers, but im a smoker, i want dense nugs!!! Im happy overall, and would buy from them again

Looks damn good though. Not bad weight, either.

Yeah all these autos smell and taste good af, just small micro grow type shit. Which i have nothing against micro grows, i used to do them. But now that my setup is a lil bigger and alot better, i expect at least 2ozs a plant. But again not complaining, bc im very, very grateful to be able to have anything free!!! And i dont blame genetics either, all on me, i did get 1 of the banana purple punch to give me 2ozs and its fire. My bro wanted some of that, i said hell to tha naw naw!!! That shits all mine!!! Lol i cant wait to start these northern lights autos, just to see what i get!!!

Ok watered veg tent today, the gsc and og have been in the buckets for about 25 days or so. And the orphaned gsc clone(smallest) was put in bucket about a week or so ago. Shes the oldest, but kept her in 1 gal for about 10days or so after other 2 were transplanted. They've probably all been vegging for about 45 days or so. But they were clones so took time to root and about 2 weeks of slow veg. That dam gsc has taken over the tent, can't wait to get her under the net. Maybe other two will catch up then. 2 og clones are looking great. Thinking about taking one from gsc, to add to sts fem seed spray down!!!! Ordered stuff yesterday to do reversal on og clones.

Drying plants are not dry, it's only been 3days. Temps and humidity have been ok. 70° and 50%

Your shit looks good bro. NGL. Do you have to dry in the tent cause of smell? If not, get a cardboard box, and run some lines through it, and keep it so the kids can close still. A big ass box works best, especially for the longer stems, or whole plant hangs. It also slows down the dry quite a bit. Or even paper bags work well too. Thataway, you could free up your tent, keep the dry slow too. I used to just toss the boxes on top of my tents. I should get back into that practice.

Man you must've been reading my mind. I was just thinking about bucking all the buds off the stems and putting them in 3 seperate boxes or paper bags. Bc these vegging plants are getting out of control. They need a new home. Will probably do it monday if they aren't dry then. Thanks for the tip. I was gonna go to uhaul and grab some of those wardrobe boxes, i think they will work great. Put a small exhaust fan on top. Might try it next time for real.
