Stratlogic's Hydro Closet ScrOG Grow

[stratlogic]

I'm thinking upwards of possibly 2 ounces but we'll see. There's some nugs growing in the back that I can barely see and cant get to so maybe I'll get lucky.

I'm not sure what you mean berry. What do you think? Is 85 days too late/soon? The trichs are looking cloudy and I thought that was the cue. Am I missing something?

Are you talking 85 days flowering or the plant from seed? If its flowering, its gotta be a sativa to not have finished by now.

 

[stratlogic]

I got ya, 85 days from seed. 54 days flowering.

Until those trichomes start turning amber and you start losing a lot of leaves (yellowing, falling off) I'd be thinking your premature. I wish Urdedpal or Smokin Moose could offer insight...another week might really make a difference.

Did you flush w/ pure water for a week or two yet?

 

[berrydizzle]

Great advice...with hydro you really only need to flush 10 days max though. I would wait till the tricromes are starting to amber before you flush.

I had flushed the plant for 2 weeks and all the leaves were crunchy. I just couldn't seem to fix that no matter what I did. I thought it was nutrient burn but when I eased up on the nutes, it made no difference, it just got worse. Could it be a deficiency of some kind? I was using Advanced Nutrients two part Sensi Grow/Bloom and heard AN had it together when it came to hydro nutes so I thought it couldn't be a deficiency. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to harvest. I got a notice saying some housing inspector has to come and check out my apartment building in three weeks. On top of that I am going back home for the holidays and am not going to be around so I have to have it cured by then. Luckily, I wanted to avoid the couch-rot high and been watching the trichs very closely and they were looking pretty good. Nice and milky. I hope it wasn't too soon so time will tell. ...and when I pulled the plant out of the box into some normal light, it was f'in purple! A nice surprise I must say.

Phone pics are pending and I am working on getting the pics from my camera shortly.

Flushing too early when the plant is still in full bloom, can shock the plant and create an immediate, unnecessary nutrient deficiency. It is one of the reasons I now flush only 3 days before harvest. I look forward to the smoke report.

Thanks Moose I never knew that about the nutes. You flushing 3 days before harvest, does that apply equally to hydro? You're a soil dude yourself right if I'm not mistaken? Also, it's going to be tough to find "the one" Creme de la Creme but I'm up for the challenge.

Berry, what happens if you flush more than 10 days? Does it deprive the plant by flushing to long? The buds all stayed pretty healthy and showed no signs of stress so I kept doing it, just the leaves took a real turn for the worse.

Thanks all you guys for all your help. I literally couldn't have done it without you. So remember, "this bud's for you." haha.

I do not see why 3 days is not adequate in hydro to do the final flush.

 

[SmokeyMacPot]

I would think that 3-4 days would be great in hydro. See you want all the nutrients and energy your buds can get all the way to the end. That is with out compramising the smokes smoothness and flavor. Nutrient diffeciencies happen fast in hydro. So all the salts would desolve quickly in a flush.

 

[berrydizzle]

I had to cut mine down today too, 5 days after flush. We will see how the bud tastes, its the shortest I have let a plant go after flush.

About the flushing and leaf problem, I am not sure what the deal it there, but the same thing is happening to me.

Here's the latest pics. These are from my phone so its all I got until I get my camera pics uploaded

Just before the chop

 

[stratlogic]

Well Moose, I have some pics pending and I think I found "the one". It wasn't easy, but someone had to do it. Thats a cool thread you got going on there Moose.

 

[Smokin Moose]

Looking forward to it!

 

[stratlogic]

Here's a cornucopia of harvest pics.

 

[Boss]

Wow, that is PRETTY!

 

[stratlogic]

And last but not least...

I just picked up a scale and will have the final wait very soon!

I would like to get some guesses from everyone if you have a minute. That would be fun.

Excellent result +10 Moose
