End of flowering - Help!

[Emilya Green]

Ok, update for today.
Continue giving her heavy feed for one more long week and harrrrvest !
Doesn’t look too bad?

look at that! it is starting to green back up!

It would be great to have some pure PK booster, but it is at is. Even if I’d managed to order it today, when I receive it, she’ll be hanging probably. I also wanted to try bud from my other girl. Yet I took a picture of a bud. I am seeing amber trichs on it ! : 3

 

[spliffas]

Probably I’ll keep her for 5-7 more days, I am thinking about giving her only water from now as I tasted the other one and it is pretty harsh compared to what I’ve been growing before. And I was giving only water 1-2wks before harvest. Not flushing.
Or maybe one good flush of 36 liters would eliminate the taste? ( : maybe three last waterings only water lets lay 5l each day? I’d love to give her more nutes tbh but ama short in time and really didn’t liked harsh taste. Xx
Expecting about at least 3 ounce from her.

They look good! But patience grasshopper, they're still showing a lot of white pistils. At least a couple weeks, IMHO. When looking for amber trichs, look at the buds, not the leaves. Very nice going!

I can’t keep more than 7days + 3days of drying in the tent so in total 10 days and those three days has to be stealthy as hell. + what I’ve found that I probably enjoy plants more which are a bit on early side, so the girl should just perfext for me in a week I believe.
Any suggestions how to eliminate nutes harshness in shortest amount of time? There maybe 5-7 waterings left I’d say.
Thanks everyone for your support.

She’ll be cut day 68-70 of flowering, and google says that it is 63 day strain I believe.

I am not sure what is the seedbank as I’ve been growing from seeds I found in a bag of smoke lol. and the smoke was amazing lol. Still have 10 of those beans lol. it’s so difficult here in LT to get seeds or nutes u’d wish …

Do not trust how long google (or the seed seller) says it will take, it is almost always weeks longer. You cannot flush nutrients out of the plant, but you can flush the “salts” out of the soil to allow better nutrient uptake. The harshness is because it hasn’t cured. The curing process is where the sugars, starches and chlorophyll are broken down by biological action. You need to maintain a relative humidity above 58% during the curing process. The slower the better. If you rush the cure by over drying, it will be more harsh.

I agree and disagree with you. I had few successful grows before, I was doing 1-2wks only water before harvest ( not flushing ) and basically I was smoking straight away. Usually I am separating my harvest into three parts: small sugar leaves which we call ‘trash’ in here, then biggest buds and small buds, usually I dry the trash quick and smoke it straight away, then small buds and then the big ones. I never experienced this harshness in my crop lol I also had 3 more plants in my tent just to sacrifice, basically they were growing and I was cutting and smoking, as I started from seeds from smoke and it turned out that all were female plants. The taste was 100% better and with 0 harsheness.
In 3 months she’ll be gone probably.

So previously I’ve been doing 3-4 days of drying in my grow tent, then with integra humidoty control into jars. For taste, I’d say it was same or maybe even better/stronger taste when fresh, but with that unpleassant freshness.

So I believe that I will go only water for some time before harvest, just not sure exactly for how long lol.

I’ll update with the pictures this evening.

I might suggest that refining your drying and curing methods would be a better way to pursue that smooth smoke you are desiring. Starving the plant when it needs the nutes most is not the answer.

The way I see it, starving the plant does not increase the quantity/weight of the harvest and does not let the plant put on more trichomes or increase the terpenes. Nor does it speed up those last couple of weeks, it will still take the same amount of time to get there so why not keep feeding and getting the bonus size and quality.

it's all in the cure. you can feed right to the end.

Okay people few more days to go and I am done. On nutes it says use once in a week I’ve been doing every watering basically once in a day 2x lesser recommended dose . I gave her 2 feedings only water, and this morning I gave her mix of sugar royal + biopon bloom maybe 2ml + fishmix ~3-4ml and I think it’s the last feeding for her. I really didn’t enjoyed the taste of acidic harsh buds, so I gave few heavy waterings for my other girl and harvested her this morning. I’m attaching pics. I’ll keep my other one 3 more days, I may give her soft biopon + sugar + fishmix again or maybe only water for one more time and we’ll be good to go. I’ll take pics of her later this evening. Now here is my harvest from other lady 170g wet I hope there will be around ~40g of dried ( :

Thanks everyone ! Will be ordering plagron green sensation and terra or alga bloom for next grow I believe there will be less hassle with these nutes. Thanks again!

My frenchie had surgery so I forgot to update earlier. xx

And I’ve been cutting and smoking her for last 7 days lol

 

[spliffas]

Ok repeating sugar + fsh mix + bloom
Pictures as promised. One more week for her would be amazing :x

 

[Emilya Green]

awesome!

 

[spliffas]

awesome!

I think I found that really working formula, but time is my enemy now.

Thanks for your support. will post a journal on next grow. )

And I’ll update this topic after harrrrrrvest!

 

[spliffas]

Thought someone might be interested. I am giving her few more days, watcha thinking?

 

[Emilya Green]

agreed, not quite done yet. Looking beautiful though!

So many white pistils - how are the trichomes? Are you looking to harvest early? I feel like you need a couple weeks still.

Those white pistils started to appear not so long ago, I did few waterings ( only water ) and then found tgat formula which looked that worked: fishmix + sugar royal + bloom base. It’s 4th or 5th feeding like that and it appears to be like some kind of last boost lol. I do not have magnicifier, but with my naked eye I can see some amberish color on by buds now. It may need those two weeks, but I am not going that long, maybe few more days and I am done. I may loose some weight, but at the same time I don’t want to end with sleeping meds lol. it looks more mature when I look with my eyes than from photos, I’ll update when harvest, but still I am keeping her alive for few nore days. It looks like ~60-70% of pistils are brown ( looks like lower branches Would love more, but tops looks pretty good to me. I’ll wait a little more and we’ll see.
