This is a typical noob question but i feel it's a bit more justified by the circumstances but if one had bag seeds that were sat/ind cross (potentially sour d.. unless all flowers smell like sour d? never seen one before now :P ) - how would one go about time frames... just look at ye plants/trichs/watch out for pistils retreating into the calyx? 8-12 weeks depending on all things genetic and environment related XD? Ensure i dont let too many trichs go amb but have minimal clear?

Yep thats about right. Look for the calyxes to really swell almost pop outwards and the previous flush of white pistils to recede into them and if its been 9 weeks or so start checking trichs then. Nothing really wrong with chopping plants a week early or a week late they should still be good if good genetics.

Well this is my first rodeo - could I get some feedback on this :bigjoint: :hump:

Honestly stared as a sad little thing on a window sill

Then progressed into a 18cm then 25cm pot,

Basic bitch soil + pearlite - Basic Bitch Nutes

In a 4x4 with a couple others, set up is a 6" CF and Duct Fan with my mates light he made (not as good as the veg in use one apparently but has far red)

Vegged way too long (6 mths ish..)
-LST the whole time but did not expect to bonsai the thing haha
- Defoliation massacred it as i flipped to flower then again in week 3-4 (it's growing faster/bulkier than the others which received less defol and pre sure all 3 are same pheno)
-topped a couple times but uh yeah like barely a week before switching to flower... however despite what I expected the colas that were topped are now fatter than the majority that aren’t if not all o.o

Bottled nutes nothing special (nitrosol for veg with dolomite/epsom salts, manutec pink bloom bottle)
- started adding teas of dechlorinated water with molasses/worm castings (when I say tea I mean water slurry mixed up :P )

About to order a temp/humidity reader and a ph/tds pen cause I’m seeing some issues that I suspect are from a salt/nutrient build up in the soil (last repot was 2 months ago and obvs don’t wanna repot now lol). Considering doing an early flush but without the pen and only 2/3 weeks left im also considering just waiting until about 1/2 weeks away and doing a flush to remove excess salts etc, but then add a tea of castings and molass thoughts?

Started lowering humidity (hopefully) by opening a window however there's a massive amount of neg pressure in tent(no light proof vents ffs)

Considering going organic for convenience but I want to master bottles rq, I’ll post better pics when I can - they’re currently sleeping

Looks a whole lot better than the first plant I ever grew looks fine to me what issues you seeing?

Bottle nutes are easy just follow directions on the bottle :/

Sorry was editing more info into it!
Yea i just mean the easiest to get/best for value bottled nute ratio so i can compare a "synth" to organic grow!


There's what i suspect to be either a nutrient lockout, potentially either calcium defic or that rust fungus...? I had a look for calcium in a liquid form as im so close to harv now i think.. but could'nt find any

Their was a natural increase for P and K an some def's popped up however i was being safe not sorry with the transition of nutes so i think that's ok now.. The new leaf growth is slightly burning which is concerning me - not fromheat stress either so again im considering a flush :/?
