Why are the hairs turning brown so early? Is it pollinated?

Why are the hairs turning brown so early? Is it pollinated?

I love the fact that my dude @bk78 is still here with me....but no it's not...I've been shooting the P.K really high and since i dind't see any other signs I thought it was OK...but yea apparently the first sign in flower is browning of the pistols...I'm in the process of flushing this week ....I'll resume feeding next week.....
FYI I was on the ground yesterday like a straight tweaker....looking for dropped crystals..I mean nutz on my girls lol
I did't find any but i'm on the look out....
I've been going like one part cal-mag...1 part micro...8 parts bloom.....
I figured go high in bloom instead of buying suppliments that just boast the p.k....am i super wrong?

Simple is best.

Just the right amount of basic flower formula at the right times is best. Not to much. Not to little.

Wow where to began.... There's going to be some catching up to do because I've been thinking about doing a grow journal, but I was scary lol. I knew I didn't know what I was doing since this was my first time and I'm one of those scientific mofo's...as in I gotta read about everything obsessively before I began something, and constantly while I'm doing something. It works great at work as a software engineer..but when it comes to growing marijuana sometimes too much information is a bad thing. I feel like there's two kinds of newbie growers on these types of forums, one's that try and go as cheap as possible and one's that go overboard with equipment and supplies. You'll figure out which type I am real quickly here....
So Where to began? I smoke a lot of medical tree, period and it gets expensive, so I bought a 2x4 grow tent from spider farmer with the 2000w (202w actual draw) LED and complete kit just south of $600 bucks on Amazon. I also bought a premade closet 2 buckets with a reservoir from eBay for 200 bucks that was straight trash .View attachment 4850921 I don't want to put the dude on blast (rootbox lol) but his products r garbage. View attachment 4850922I ended up just going with 4 home depot buckets . I also bought a extra 100 watt LED from a no name brand, a Medea portable Ac unit 8000 btu rated for 120 (sq ft) i use it for 8....4 6 in round expensive af air stones like 35 bucks each and 2 35 watt air pumps. The initial setup had 35 watts air pump for 2 5-gallon bucks and the water boiled looked great.
I ordered the clones and strain-bank. My initial plan was to buy 3 plants and pay 50 bucks to overnight them. I wanted to get one each of 3 of my favorite strains, yeah I know that was stupid now but hey we all gotta live once. I got once indica (gsc) one hybrid (blue-dream) and one sativa (sour-d). View attachment 4850937 It all started so wonderful, like Day 1, then it all went to shitView attachment 4850938. Because I'm like a month and a half behind I will catch you guys up don't worry. We will begin here from Feb 1st...

Where did you order your clones from?

TY....

Looking better today after a flushing

 

[hydroScript.js]

Gonna mix in some unsulphered blackstrap molassas to my feed..... gonna add a tablesppon per gallon

Yea Honestly People will probably copy my methods...sans the first month but this is exactly what people hope for when they grow marijuana in small spaces. To be able to evenly grow Indica, Sativa like it ain't shit. To grow plants of all different sizes and appropriatly tie down and train each plant to fit them into a uniform area and maximize what space you have. To use exactly the correct amount of veg time to not have to shave half your plant to waste light.

Well The debate is over for me between hydro and soil.....
soil girl scout cookies

And the same clone in hydro

If you've been following along even a little bit you know HOW FAR BEHIND THIS PLANT WAS!!! I was looking pityful at the begining and really most of march, but in flower she took off and surpassed her much larger sister, looking more like a baby blue dream them a GSC....

But man am I excited about the blue dream and sour-d those fat bitches are going to deliver me some love. I expect over half a p for my little area. The debate I guess becomes what style is better, taller lanky plants with naked bottoms, or small compact plants with multiple bud sights all exactly the same size and height so the light hits the entire plant and ever bud evenly??

Honestly, some people on this forum are SOOO STUPID....you guys know who i'm talking about....lol But they think just because it's how they've done it, that it's correct, but when you hit them with obvious facts they get mad and try to insult you and call you newbie...well there's no way you're getting the most out of your plant when the top buds are several feet above the lower buds?



Let's see what happens.......

Try it in sips. You might be surprised.

What does sips might mean? And just because hte debate is over doesn't mean i'm going to continue to grow hydro....yes the plant is bigger and healthier...but it was a hell of alot more work....we will see maybe i'll run a hydro tent and a dirt tent....
Sprout in dirt..flower in water....

Sips is sub irrigated planter. I'm not telling you to do it. I'm just saying you can get more hydro- like performance using soil. Ive done dwc, believe me, I dont like anything more than the growth rate and yield with hydro. I just feel organic soil is a lil better quality. That's just my opinion. I'll still run hydro though. It's a PITA, but it's worth it. Lol

 

[hydroScript.js]

Wow I mean the growth is doing great. I've been notcing that the buds that are in the path of the fan are browning but are much frostier then the ones that aren't and the top pistols are white. I've been letting it get pretty cool at night around 60 and around day around 75 degrees. I gotta get the fan on high or the humidty jumps up to unaccepatble levels. I'd rather have windy bud, then bud rot.

I've been feeding plan water and blackstrap molasses all week and I'll probably do that another week..then feed for two weeks then flush with just molasses for two weeks for the GSC's I'll feed the blue dream a little longer. The GSC has about a month and a week the other ones Longer of course. It's been about 3 weeks and the stretch seems about done. I'm not going to cut any lower branches or anything off....everything should get enough light. If So I'll push it another 6 to 10 inches and see if the whole plant gets light...obviously your first grow is your worst THE SOUR D looks

Under neath the fan bright white pistols but little frosty
In the wind brown pistols super frosty...

This is only the first 3 weeks there's two months left for this plant to get more frosty! Can't wait!!

 

[hydroScript.js]

Happy 4:20 The sour-d is looking lovely
And the blue dream is starting to turn blue.
And the Hydro GSC is just looking AMAZING...

Honestly, they are small yielders and only seem to be worth it if you are going to grow hydro. I've resumed feeding the plants along with the blackstrap...The plants seem to love it, and it's making them super sticky. Can't wait to watch them fatten up....

 

[hydroScript.js]

Woah I didn't notice how much bigger the buds are getting every day...duh huh?
They look perfect. Everything is going as planned...I knew the GSC was going to be tiny and I think I did a good job keeping it even with the much larger Sativas
Blue Dream is really blue u can see it in the middle there and back right..also here
The GSC the bottom far right and left (hydro) Looking great real frosty and sticky AF as everything else
And the Sour-D is leading the pack as usual

I expect an 8th+ per branch and since there is 70 I should be ok.... I'm real excited about this personal grow. I think I'm going to get some real nice medication for the head. Obviously this isn't a commercial operation but I think I'm doing well with what I got. They are already super frosty and looking like real nice dense solid buds forming.

I tried to take the even canopy a step further and literally make the entire plant the same size...like every single branch, maybe I should cut some under growth but I read an article that said they tested the lower growth and the potency levels are nominally lower. Hardly noticable and those mature sugar leaves are going to make some nice butter for edibles and the smaller buds are going to go into the jar. I smoke fat bluns anyway so it doesn't matter to me. I don't need bag appeal I need siht that's gonna make me say...yea

 

[hydroScript.js]

These girls are looking amazing.....Can't believe we have come this far....

I'm getting close to the end with some of the girls. The two GSC's specifically. I'm starting to get some slight yellowing but I think that's normal at this stage.

I've been looking under the looking glass at the trichomes and noticed they just turned milky white, I'm going to wait on a little amber. I admit I don't know what I'm doing, but the very last thing I want to do is pull down early. I'm going to go by the manufactures suggestions and then go from there. Said GSC are 8-week plants so I expect them to be done 8-10 weeks, the blue dreams are 10 weeks I expect 10-12 weeks, and the sour D 12-14...but honestly, I'm not going to wait past 12 weeks. I'm not growing Sativa anymore indoors. I can grow outdoors now so I'll grow them there.

Do these GSC look close or do I have indeed a few weeks?

Looks like a 2 week to go plant to me, but if anybody wiser them me has an opinion please share it.

The Next Generation is started...I'll start a new thread here in a week or so. 2 fire OG, 2 Wedding Cake (gsc X thin-mints), 2 Animal Cookies (GSC X Fire Og) 2 Blue Dream, (clones from last grow) I had 10 other clones but my mom gave them to her friends, celebrating legalizing
I'm going to let these grow about twice as tall. Also Hydro is for indoors, dirt is for outdoors. Let's Go~!
