Hey @Bill284 Finally have 3 pics to share in here with hopefully more to come if we can pull the color out again.

As clones, they were VERY purple

Only 4 made it into the tent from this tray but I have no idea which ones they were. They lost their purple leaves long ago and traded them for bleached tips instead.

Have a great night Bill and beautiful garden as always. I envy the amount of space you have to grow in

Gelat og.
It smokes real nice, smooth with a nice flavor, very rot/bud rot resistant, good producer and easy to grow.

Amazing @grimlyman that clay pot is the coolest outdoor pot I've seen.
Fantastic colors.

Just noticed how Purple my leaves went on me and my Lemon Amnesia Kush. They went from green leaves to purple in just 5 days.

I had to look at that 5 times to make sure it was the same lady. That's pretty cool my friend @EhCndGrower I love it when they go quick like that.
Your pistols are white and long so I'm guessing you have a month to go?
Mine usually don't go that early . Did you make any changes to temp or nutrients? Or is that straight up genetics? Beautiful BTW sorry.

I held back on mega crop and gave them black strap molasses these past 2 waterings, but you could see some purple emerging here and there beforehand. No change in temps or humidity With low mid 70’s for temps and high 40’s low 50’s for humidity. First time growing this strain and I believe they are listed at 9-10 weeks for flowering, and today was the end of week 7. So I don’t know if they are suppose to go purple or not, and see no one really growing this strain elsewhere. Like on growdiaries where I do daily updated pics of my grows. Some people are growing but don’t update frequently or gave up on updating completely

I do mainline on occasion when I have time. More for fun than volume.
What I do do to my girls is top when young. This grows two main stems,which I tie down. Usually. Depending on number of ladies in the tent I spread the top out filling the 4x8 area. Fewer ladies lets me spread more, 10 girls not as much.
Rule of thumb I like to get 4 zips per girl min. Which is easily doable depending on how many are in there. I find topping when young doesn't slow growth and when there is absolutely no room in veg area its the easiest method to increase volume.
One other thing to keep in mind is my clone size and method of rooting them.
I cut huge clones 14" with tons of brunches. This makes things easier when topping as she is ready for it as soon as she is cut from mom.
And my method of cloning is very fast and efficient. Growing big clones very fast,which helps. Any help you need just let me know.

Hey Bill, hope your well my friend.

Thanks for the reply my man, its been a busy few days plus we have sunshine lol So we like to make the most of it

I do need some help please, harvest time is fast approaching & I do not want to get this wrong. I gave her the last feed of nutes this morning, leaves have started to show yellow on the tips.
I read so many different ways of preparing for harvest that I'm getting confused with all the info.
Do you defoliate at all in final days before chop?
I also hear that some growers leave the plant in total darkness for 48 hours prior to chop, would you recommend this?
Dry manicure or wet manicure, I read pro's & con's for both.
I have the RH humidity ( 62% ) packs for curing.

Any help & advice would greatly appreciated my friend.

Thank youuuuuuu!

@Sticky fingaz ok here is what I do.
Minimum 24 hrs darkness as soon as I'm ready to harvest. The last one will be in 48hrs by the time I finish takes me a coupledayssome times. Your lights degrade the tricombs. When you leave them in the dark they swell up nice and big.
I cut the branches off whole. Then I cut fan leaves off and they go for compost to refeed later.
Then I trim sugar leaves off and freeze them to make butter with.
I then hang the branches with trimmed buds. In a dark room.
You want 60rh and 60F . As close as you can get.
Keep checking them, when the small branches snap you are ready to jar them.
Then cut buds off and put them in jars.
Do you have little hygrometers to put in jars.
Once in jars.it should be around 70rh.or so
I shake the jars and burp them and flip each time. So first time set upside down. Next day shake burp and set right side up. Next day shake and set right side up.
Usually takes about two weeks doing this to get down to 62rh. Once at 62 they should be ready. The longer in jars better the cure. Once they are at 62rh you can put in Boniva packs for long term storage. Boniva packs aren't necessary to cure your buds . Just storage, or if you over dry.
Once you have them hanging thats when mistakes happen. Be diligent about checking them. They can drop the last bit of moisture quickly at the end and over dry. So check at least every few hours when it get close to the end.
I can hang for a few days because I control rh and temp closely. You may only need 3 days depending on climate control.
I hope this helps. Keep in touch while your doing it and I can help guide you.

'With great knowledge comes great responsibility'
( not exactly how it was put, artistic interpretation of course )

Priceless, cheers Bill, see ; it's not always what you know ey!
That's great buddy, I'm going to use my current grow tent for the drying so I'll be able to control the temp & rh. Another reason why I'm getting new stuff Is so I have dedicated space to do it. I shall follow your advice to the letter lol & of course, once I'm near I shall ping you a tag.

Thanks again matey!

Omg I'm so sorry I completely forgot @Sticky fingaz Air flow.
You want minimal air flow. Not pointing at your buds.
If your in a tent DONT PUT ON THE EXTRACTION OR INTAKE FAN.
Just minimal air flow is all you need.

Okie doke! @Bill284

Next question then lol ; I only have an entry level humidifier, no humidistat. If the extraction doesn't run then the humidifier will just keep running until it hits dew point. The air in my house is dry, only hitting 35%. Will the flowers give off enough moisture to keep the RH up?
