Went out today and took this pic of the top bud, then some buds just below top bud to show the difference. Top looks about 1/2 withered. Lower ones, not at all. I just gave them a 3/4 diluted dose of 15-30-15 on Wednesday. I should have already been flushing I have them in a bucket that has holes in the bottom soil is potting with perlite & peat moss but (to me) it still seems like this bucket is dense and bot as airated as I would have liked. So how do I flush the best way possible considering how close they are to being time to pull?
You gotta pic of the whole plant? I am not so sure they are close to being ready to pull just yet..... I think you have some October-November plants, not September. By withered I assume you are judging by pistils. Unfortunately pistils are not an accurate way to judge as they can wither from many different things, even as simple as being touched. Go by triches and also they look like they have more filling out to do. I started plants outdoors this year and they are still like a month or more away from harvest. An indica might be ready but not all plants finish at the same time... Anyways I know I didn't answer ur flushing question, I just don't think it's time yet.
Thank you, sir. That clears everything up. Yeah...these plants still have a little while longer to go.
Not trying to be rude but it looks like they have quite a ways to go. Like probably 4 weeks or more. They dont look like they are very far into flowering at all. Those buds are smaller than my CFL buds and your growing under the biggest lightbulb in the world. Dont even think about chopping until you have close to 100% cloudy trichomes. Good luck and be patient and chop when they are really ready. Peace Edit: You said your growing in a bucket with drainage holes in the bottom. When the time comes to flush (and its not nearly time) put something under the bucket to elevate it a bit so it will drain properly and flush the soil with water, twice the volume of the bucket. If its a 5 gallon bucket run ten gallons of water through it.
All good man. Basically I have learned to watch the stigmas and once they turn 50-75% withered, pull it. Glad to know I am way off base cuz if they were to be pulled soon, I would have been disappointed in the yield. What's the best way to tell trich coloring without a loop or scope? Go buy one, eh? I used to think i knew shit cuz I read TMGG back to back ages ago but after joining this forum I have come to realize how ignorant I really was/am. lol Thx for the response.
Yeah your best bet is to buy one. Heres a link to the one I have. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2179604 It could very well be the best $12 you ever spend.
