My First Grow: Bubblegum, AK47 & White Widow

[Grand Daddy Black]

I assume the likes mean it's normal

Yes Tallboy, the "like" means it's normal. The yellowing tips indicate a mild nitrogen burn and that means she's been eating well. It's nothing to be concerned about! She's a beauty. Can you get any close-up pics of her trichomes?

All of my plants have yellow or brown tips near the end, if they ate properly!

10-4. Thanks! I'll take some up close pics with my microscope tomorrow and post them.

Looking good TallBoy.

And it’s 2023! Nothing is normal anymore!

Lolling!

 

[tallboy2023]

Amen to that!

I think I may have jumped the gun on the flush Should I go back to nutes until I see more amber?

Are all thes shots of the bud and of a couple different buds? I think I can see a few clears on there so could be another week..
It's a funny question because before coming on here it would be flush 10 to 14 days which i would still do in soil but on here some don't flush at all so it's your call..

 

[tallboy2023]

Thanks. First 3 are different buds on the Bubblegum. Last 3 are different buds on the White Widow. I'm going to go back to nutes and keep an eye on the trichs

Day 54 of flower. She looks really close. What do you think?

The age old question. Take what I say with many grains of salt as I'm still trying to figure this out as well. I like 10% amber. The only thing I would recommend is to make sure you look at a bud that is not the closest to the light and one you havent handled much as (from what i read) that can prematurely cause the trichs to amber up and look like they are more done than they are. If that pic is from a middle bud i havent handled, I'd go ahead and chop.

Omg I’m so bad at picking glitter.

I do know a guy tho lol

Thanks, T!-
I'd say you can chop that one any time, tallboy- looks like apx. 10% amber now- or, you could wait a week for a little more amber, if you like the buzz more on the relaxed side..

 

[tallboy2023]

I like more of an indica, relaxed buzz. Not couch lock, but definitely chill.

 

[tallboy2023]

Girls are coming down Wednesday. Nugs are hard and solid and Trichomes are about 10-20% amber

 

[Trala]

Absolutely mint!

Trip Adviser give you 5 stars!

Chop day. Buds didn't get as big as I had hoped, but there are a lot of frosty nugs for sure I think next time I'll get rid of more suckers down low on the branches and see what happens. Lights are off. Fans are circulating but not blowing directly on the plants. Temp is set at 68 with RH at 48. Let me know if there's anything else I need to do. Thanks for all the help on this first grow everybody

 

[Greenvein]

Congratulations on your haven't bro! Hopefully the softer buds toughen up once dried looks like a sweet yeild for two plants
I usually run 58rh lowest and 60f to get the slow dry bro but looking good. Just keep and eye they don't over dry if your looking to try a nice cure after

 

[tallboy2023]

Thanks for the tip. I'll tweak my settings

 

[Long Time Coming]

Congrats on the harvest!!!

Now that you got the easy part of growing out of the way, time to dry and cure! Hah!

I agree with @greenvein , will hopefully chop mine in a week and will usually dry at 65 deg and 60% RH. Might try 60 deg this time though. Just keep an eye on em. If the temp/humid stay within range, around 10 to 14 days they should be ready. I usually start trimming right before they are finished drying and when I think they're ready I'll throw some in a jar with a hygrometer and see what the humidity rises too. If i time it right, they usually are right at 62%. If so, they stay in the jar. If it goes above 65% i'll take em out and let em dry out some more and test again. Theoretically, as long as the drying room conditions stay constant, you could just openly cure, but too paranoid for that. The main thing is not to let the room, or the buds, drop below 55% RH ( correct me if im wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the RH where a lot of the volatile terpenes poof).

Great job Tallboy!

You should read @InTheShed’s thread about flushing. Imo CL
