Aww thanks Corey and Thspot. I miss you guys too but I am still here just not as often as I would like to be. I have a quick question. My plants in flower seem to be indica dominate I think. So how long should I leave them in flower? And when should I stop nutes and flush?

At least 8 weeks. Try and get ahold of a 30 or 40x loop and sailor until the trich are mostly amber. That's the only way to tell for sure. Flush for the last week of their life.

That's what I thought. I have a scope, Trichs look mainly clear with some being cloudy. So you're saying flush everyday the last week? Hope they will be amber by week 8, what's the max I can keep them in flower?

For a flush, start at a week from harvest and flush the soil with about 3 times the volume of the container. For instance, if you have a 1 galling pot, flush with 3 gallons of water. Wait for it to dry out and water again only if absolutely necessary. You will most likely only need to flush once and the soil will be moist until harvest.

Thanks for trich pics and info. But what if Trichs are not amber by week 8? Can I keep in flower longer or will thc degrade? Took some pics but phone started acting flaky so could not slower all.

Hey girl, you know that those nugs are some of the sexiest on this board

re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

Lookin sexy Queen!

imho you could go longer than 8 weeks



I chopped my damn sour at day 65 and I still only saw 30-40% amber.

I'd assume that above 75% amber would be on the way to degradation but maybe one of the many masterminds could clarify



Hope everything is going good Queen!

QT - It's when the tricomes turn amber that they start degrading, so to speak. In other words, that is the tell-tale sign. If it takes longer than 8 weeks to get the desired level of tricomes, that's okay and normal. 8 weeks is just an estimate. Some take 9 or 10, but if it's indica dominant, 8 weeks is probably the most common rough timeframe. I like to harvest when the tricomes are mostly cloudy and about 25% amber or so, personally.

With some experience you can get a good feel aside from the tricomes. Look for the majority of pistils to shrivel and retreat to the really swollen false seed-pod. Test a nug or two around week 7 1/2 or so, every few days to see how you like the high... Speaking of which. Whewww. "Lucy" just whacked me upside the head.

re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

Yup! they should really start packing on the weight from now until finish. This is the best part

re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

Man just lost my whole post...wtf? Believe it or not, plants not giving off smell unless you move them. Baby Miwa smells a little funky but Miss Budd and Cannavanna nothing. Miss Budd is packing alot of orange hairs. Is it ok to start plucking off yellowing fan leaves? Most are right at the nodes. Or will that stop them from getting light? I have gathered a few boxes to put them in to dry out since I cant use closet. Gonna place some screens in them.

I hate that my internet is down, have no access to my bookmarks. How long on average does it take to dry out? I know when stem snaps instead of bends but hoping someone can give me number of days...3 to 5?

Thanks X for the info. I'll have to check those things out. What about when Pistils start to turn orange?
OMM, thanks. Hope they look good enough to enter contest. GT, why jealous? Corey called my nugs sexy, I think me and ladies are gonna faint....lol...thanks thats a huge compliment coming from you!

re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

3 to 5 would be average for trimmed buds, in an area with ventilation and light on the humidity, say 65% or less, temps around 70's...
