So day 19 started,

It was getting reallllllly bushy to a point, stems were bending, leafs were bending, stems were not getting light,

So decided to defoliate couple days early,

Also fed them yesterday at 900ppm,

They are on week 3, buddlets are forming everywhere, i didnt lollipop as i noticed small buddlets at the bottoms but just took fan leafs off,

Have not done any foliar sprays in a week or so,

Is there anything i should do ?

You're counting bud maturity by starting day 1 with when you flipped the lights. But, they didn't respond right away because they were too immature. You're thinking that you're almost 20 days into flower but they are only just starting. You start watching the calendar once the plant is really showing flowers. If it takes 70 days, then it's 70 days from when the plants begins flowering, not from when the lights were flipped. If these plants were actually 3 weeks into flower, you'd have some decently formed buds all over. These ones are just beginning to show. Most of these are still in the first days of flower.

You're going to have an early harvest. You'll still have smokeable bud and probably enough to last for a while and at least make this grow worth it. You've obviously learned a bunch with this grow and your next ones will be even better. Just something to keep in mind - when you clone a plant that has already reached maturity (is growing alternate branching and showing pre-flowers), then the clone itself is already sexually mature. It will respond to a light flip within a week usually and begin flowering. Clones can be flowered as soon as they have roots - or obviously vegged out longer first.

I thought you count days from flip?

What you just said makes soo much sense though.

So that being said, some of them will only
Be flowered for 40-50 days, smh

Well i got a bigger problem to worry about,

So alot of you guys has been keeping up with my other grow too.


So i just chopped up my whole tent due to one fucking plant that went hermie and polinated the whole tent.

I was having issues, with them growing and stuff and thought it was the light. But today i was taking few fan leaves off and some pre mature seeds.

So I panicked,
And went around and realized 8 of them out of 12 had seeds, so chopped them up and go rid of them.

Kept 4 thats looked good didnt have alot of brown pistils hopefull these 4 didnt get polinated.



SO MY QUESTION IS,

Could this tent be pollinated too? Because of the other tent,

Right one is the one that was pollinated due to a hermie.
Left one is this grow

I think majority of growers do count from flip, (could be wrong), but as stated if they are not sexually mature it does add a bit to the flowering time. I count from flip but really only for curiosity as they are done when done not by the counting of weeks.

So the whole tent is pollinated, so i only kept one light in there,
As i only kept 4 plants,

Took two light from the other tent and brought it to this tent.

Now i have 4 600s and 1 900 viparspectra in this tent.

Thats roughly 1522 actual watts,

276x4
418x1

=1522


Hopefully this will help the yield as i just lost the my other tent. #FuckAHermie



Just praying to God that this tent didnt get pollinated.

Most of the breeder recommend 8-10 weeks too,

So i planned with 69 days,

I am 21 days in, and still got 48ish days left,

So even thought some plants took few days longer to flip, most of them will get full 8 weeks of flowering,

Since some of them took 2 weeks to flip.

Did I read that your under a time restraint? If not you'd be better off not really counting the days to finish and more counting the days to when it did finish, if you get what I mean lol. They all finish when they finish, the worst thing you can do is pull early if you don't have, it effects the finished product in many negative ways?

I'm trying to say that judging finish by time is not conductive to getting the most from a grow and you should let them go till there done not when they reach 8 weeks or what ever. But if your on a schedule it is what it is.

Those are in reality about 2 weeks into flower. Regardless of flip date, they've only been actually flowering for about 2 weeks. You would generally have an additional 6 - 8 weeks. I know that you have to cut by the end of Jan but the trichs will not be matured yet. I find that by about week 5 they start to bulk up. You have a few more weeks before that starts to happen. If you had time, you would watch the trichs to know when to harvest. Trichs don't mature based on a time span from flip date but rather by plant maturity - which will be cut short.

At 5 weeks the buds are mostly formed and the remaining time they bulk up. Here's what week 5 looks like - in 3 weeks yours will be closer to this: IMG_2022.jpg

When you harvest early the trichs are still clear and won't have full potency than if you were able to wait until actual bud maturity when they turn cloudy and potency peaks.
