Hi HMG,

those girls look really good, truly great shots of the trics...you said they might be done in a couple weeks ?? those trics still look most clear/cloudy.

How do you decide when to cut? My girls are still mostly cloudy, only 20/80 amber/cloudy, but my buddy said he chops @ 55-60 days, I'm not sure mine will be done by then...maybe his mature quicker because of the different lights. He's got a couple 1000's hps and I use 1 - 400 mh. I know that makes a difference in the size of buds and amount of yield, but I don't know if it makes a diff in the length of time they take to finish.

What do you think?

Yes they are still mostly clear/cloudy. I have been reading about flowering times for DT and they are anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. So I'm starting there.
I'm also watching to make sure the calyxes are swelling, do the pistils appear to have receded back, and is the plant still uptaking as much water. These are what I'm looking for to help me judge when to chop. As well I will be looking at the trichomes but they are not the determining factor for me

To be honest I have had problems on all my other grows so I ended up taking them down early. So this is a learning experience for me as well.

I don't think that lights alone can make a plant finish any faster. I think that the environment could delay flowering time though. If that makes sense.

makes good sense. :thankyou:

I'm still trying to perfect my eye as to when is the best time to harvest, that's why I asked.

:peace:

I'm glad it makes sense, but I don't know if this is the right way just the way I'm watching them to learn.

When you perfect your eye can I borrow it cause mine are shit. :trance:
 
Re: Dutch Treat, Blue Dream 2 Liter Hempy Grow

HMG,

:rofl: You're too funny

I've noticed with this grow that my girls haven't needed nearly as much water/nutes...I think it's due to the fact that I didn't give them much veg time and they are much smaller than any I've grown so far.

I'm at about the same stage in flower that you are...a week, maybe 2 to go, they are only getting RO/tap @ 60-80ppm. They aren't using as much water as they were a week ago, I've gone from 8-10oz every other day to 6oz yesterday...I think they'll be ready soon.

:high-five:

I'm starting to flush Dutch Treat 2,3,4,as well as the TNT Kush today. I will probably give them 5 to 7 days flush then chop. Tomorrow they get their 45 day defoliation. So yes very soon. :cheertwo:
 
Re: Dutch Treat, Blue Dream 2 Liter Hempy Grow

Since I have been having issues with the cloner I built. I decided I would take the BOG Sour Bubble plant I have and transplant it to a 2.5 gal Hempy and flower it out by itself.

It has a Mg deficiency I believe. I will flush good for a week and then start over with BPN. As soon as the flowering tent clears I will throw it in there with a 200W DS from Advanced LED Lighting.

Before some trimming and training

Re: Dutch Treat, Blue Dream 2 Liter Hempy Grow

Looks nice over there,
Cant really distinguish Mg deficiencies, normally doesnt occur too quick, usually comes around during flower, for some strains more than others.
But i'm using Mg/Ca granulate in soil, which is depleted by the end of the run over this last time, growing Jack herrer, depleted earlier.
What i can distinguish is little excess of nutrients to be found mostly in the Potassium/Kalium section.

I probably would lower the nutes for a bit till bit less curling is shown and discoloring doesnt show coming back. And you might try a but extra Mg instead, if you think that's lacking.
Mg hunger may raise a bit more when adding extra P i think i noticed.

I will be giving it a good flush tonight with 5.8 ph water then follow up in a couple days with a light feeding.
