I think since you just moved them, just watch them closely and see if the color gets better Marco.

Thanks @StoneOtter .how's everything going?I had a real hard time the first day in the basement.But yesterday I purchased a basement dehumidifier so its sitting around 45% right now..Getting sugary and beautiful.Im just now 100% sure when I should do a lite defoliation.

Hey Marco, I'm doing some outdoor planting today. A couple of flower planters and hopefully getting my Stankberry into the ground too, or at least have the site prepped. Looking like a heavy wind/rain coming through tomorrow.

Gotchya.We set up our greenhouse last week.Went from the heated porch to the greenhouse and their doing very well Avtually lst 3 right now with good results.And I actually have some seeds that 57 years ago my grandfather brought here from Italy.My grandmother died 2 years ago and she left me all of their seeds they brought[smuggled?]from Italy of a specific tomato my grandfather made.I have 12 that I started. They looked pathetic as seeds Did not look like a seed at all but a dried dead bug.lol...anyway rolled them around in great white...germinated right in started tray with lobster compost and perlite.sprayed with h20 and sometimes with recharge..8 sprouted so far so these will stay in the Nook for a few weeks to get strong and then to the green house sorry this was so long

Those are very special seeds you have there! Part of your family history that's worth saving. I'm so happily green with envy for you! Do you know if they're for eating raw or cooking mainly? I've seen some Italian folks grow their families "sauce" tomatoes and they grew like one pointed softballs.

Haha.good question.Im going to ask my mother.
 
Why stop feeding them when you want them to grow fat?
This is a trick question.

Here's a link to what I think is the way to go. Science has shined a light on flushing and starving.

A critical look at preharvest flushing

Pre harvest flushing is a controversial topic. Flushing is supposed to improve taste of the final bud by either giving only pure water, clearing solutions or extensive flushing for the last 7-14 days of flowering. While many growers claim a positive effect, others deny any positive influence or...

Great.Im gonna give a read.
 
Wow. Do I feel like an idiot.Here I am kinda bummed my plants aren't as big as I was hoping the buds would get because here I am at week 8 and the pack says an 8 weeks flowering strain........not knowing that means it will be in flower for 8 to 9 weeks.For now on I won't just be counting days since the seed popped I'll separate into germ/seedling/veg/flower

Hello @MarcoD1984 hope you are well my friend.
Seed companies tend to underestimate flowering times.
I've never had a strain truly finish in 8 weeks. Give them time, you should be ok.

I use a small hand held scope to look at trichomes to check ripeness. I don't have a name, but it's 80 or 100 x and is plenty to see trich color. I like em all milky with maybe some amber color. Around 25.00 on amazon. Almost all the pistols are usually retracted by then.

I feel like it's probley the only way to know when the plant is complete.God knows their beginning to end times are a bit misleading
