Okay so I am now 8 weeks into flowering on my first grow. How am I looking? I was thinking of flushing tomorrow and harvesting next week. Does that seem like a good idea? I checked my trichs and as of right now they're almost all cloudy so I figure by the time I flush theyll turn a bit amber. Also, does anyone know anything about putting your plant in 24 hour darkness before hacking it down? All comments/advice/feedback greatly encouraged and appreciated
Can't see the pics right now :/ I've heard that putting the plants in complete darkness right before harvest will push out the trichomes even more. I've heard of growers doing 48 hours as well. No first hand experience though... What are you expecting in terms of yield?
Yeah the buds are a bit small. When I first or my timer, it Meade up the light schedule so I had to get anew one. And then I had to hide it on 2 separate occasions during the 12/12 so it's had some stress a couple times. But other then that te environment has been great. Temps stay pretty much level at 79
Here's a little update. today is about 8 and a half weeks into flowering. I started I flush and wanted To harvest next week but I'm starting I feel like it is t ready and want to harvest in like two weeks. Still trying to figure it out hah Check out the link to my indoor grow journal comments appreciated
Hey you may wanna use an external image host like tinypic.com or something. Pics aren't showing for most users.
Oh damn should I not attach them from grasscity? And I planned I doing a 72 hour dark period I didn't know that fattened em up thougj
Alright havin a bit I trouble doing this but I uploade them to a phtobucket here they are http://s1268.photobucket.com/profile/kellerkeels
Looking very good!!,from the pics,I see cfl lights,Are CFLs all you are using???..or what lights are you running???..keep up the great grow!
I was thinking I'd be harvesting next week I started flushing yesterday. But I think I may try to wait like two weeks. The buds on the branches near the main cola are still clear trichs and white hairs And yeah I'm running about 150 w cfls. Just using lamps bought at Walmart an some 23 w a 42w and a 55w And it's actually indica, about 75% of the leaves have fallen off durin the past couple weeks. She used to look like a bush
Looking very good.Its best to wait it out and let it finish,2 weeks might be good.I'd evaluate it then,but I prefer a really mature plant,plus the buds/weight get bigger too.Plus it looks like it needs time to ice up alot.You are going to have a sweet harvest for sure.Well done. and ty for answerin the lights question.I'm going to be using similar lighting on my 1st indoor.
i'd definitely give it two weeks and re-evaluate then. i always try to wait an extra two weeks when i get the itch to harvest. you want less white hairs and more brown and even starting to recede into your bud. doesn't look bad for a cfl grow. my last cfl grow got ripped by a junkie cousin that literally broke into my grow room...fuck him, but stay on top of your security no matter who you are around...
That sucks,I'd make sure he knows nothing about yr grow then,he may sneek back in.I dont have that problem,nobody knows and I live alone,and nobody ever stops by.Just the way I like it.
