My First Grow - Coco - Cheese & Blue Cheese week 7.5 flowering Hi all, quite new to the forums, but the last 3 months have been full of ups and downs, and I do believe it's now around the time to share! This is my first grow and I hope you like it (y) The main point to this thread is basically me showing you where I'm at in terms of harvesting a final product, and if i'm not there , hopefully you can help me get there! EQUIPMENT AKA MY SH*T: Autopot system with a 47l res with 4 15l pots dr120 tent 600 watt hps coco/perlite mix 70/30 one 6 litre pot (one of the blue cheese was grown in this, with soil instead of coco canna coco a & b , rhizotonic, vitalink buddy (pk 13/14) tap water let sit for a day ph meter (i sadly lack an ec meter) 5 inch ruck fan for extraction, passive intake Within my grow tent I manage to maintan constant temps between 75 degrees farenheit and 85 degrees farenheit, I top feed the soil plant every 1-2 days depending on top inch dryness, and as you know , the autopots feed the other two in coco when they want it. I originally got 3 rooted clones on the 18th of june, one died and so was left with two , 2 weeks into vegetation , my super friendly clone supplier said he had a blue cheese plant grown from seed that he didnt have space for and so I got that. When it came it was already a 16 inch tall bushy beast compared to my 8 inch clones, but as the clones in larger pots all plants were roughly the same height in the grow room so all was great! The bush was in a 6 litre pot full of soil, and to be honest it probably wouldve flowered much bigger had i repotted in something bigger, but i was playin it safe as this was/is my first grow. The two coco plants are now definitely bigger than the soil plant, you guys can probably tell why, but as i said i put it down to pot size, and the fact as a newb first grower I probably could've timed my feedings and stuff much better. Anywho, I vegged the clones for 3 weeks and the soil plant for a week from when I got it. I started flowering my plants on the 9th of july, which means they are 51 days into flowering, hopefully you guys can tell me if i'm on track for harvesting anytime soon, and if there's anything I need/could/should do within the next few weeks. One thing I think you'll notice from the pictures is that the two plants in coco are yellowing considerably faster than the plant in soil.The only reason I can think of for this is the fact that around 5-6 weeks flowering i noticed nute burn on some of the leaves of the autopot plants and decided to dilute the reservoir with more ph'd plain water untill the problem went away. I did this and by the time it did, I was appproaching week 7 and as these plants were scheduled for a week 8/9 finish i have added no nutrients since and just left the reservoir to go down, I was told this was totally normal when flushing plants towards the end as they take nutrients from the leaves. And as I only started flushin the soil plant 5 days ago with plain ph'd water , it is yet to yellow that much. Ive taken some bud shots of my plants and some leaf shots , the cheese and blue cheese in coco both have multiple tops and trust me i've never topped em, only accidently fucked em up lol . But its good, because they've made more use of the space and i assume they've made more use of the lights. The blue cheese in soil more or less has one main top which is starting to look a hefty cola (y) . From my observations , it seems like the buds have some swelling to do in terms of size, PLEASE let me know if i'm being unrealistic lol, but i'm aiming for atleast a total of 6 zips, but right now i'm not entirely sure when the 6 zips currently are LOL. Everythings as crystally as hell which is a good sign, and upon cutting of a bud and checking the trichomes im realising its quite difficult to tell a clear trich from a milky trick when the lights on my 60 x microscope, but when its off i cant see anything.... But yh, will my early flush cause a fuss? do you think i have long left? As this is my first grow and this is the make or break of the grow, I'm in need of some wise words! Can't wait to dry and cure these beauts, i don't think I've ever displayed such graceful patience as I have growing these plants! But oh I've enjoyed it! Blue cheese in soil main cola One of the blue cheese in coco's cola (it has like 4 and this is a smaller one, lighting was gd there) one of the cheese colas(notice the yellow?) a blue cheese in soil smaller bud (notice the green?) a blue cheese in coco an overall shot of the garden, with the blue cheese in coco being the shorter one to the bottom left, the big ones in the middle are the cheese and them dark green leaves with the bud creeping in from the bottom right is the blue cheese in soil them 3 big ones in the middle are all the cheese, even the two smaller ones underneath are the same plant too another cheese plant shot and last but not least a lil shot of one of the stems on the cheese plant. Whadya think? how mature would you say these plants are? Thanks in advance Ticktocksmoker.
