I think someone said like 90% of the folks here harvest too early, perhaps that was Zues. Either way I agree, and I just chop em when I think it's rightSorry about the pesky pests, looks like you can get through another day or 2 then no more problem.
I added 1/2 rations of water to my plants last night just to keep them going. I would like the root ball
on the dry side when I cut which will be whenever the trics turn, I've been watching my scope
and think maybe Friday will be harvest day, I have waited this long whats another day or 2 for the BOMB.
The trics are a mix of clear, cloudy and only few are amber now. All have long necks and fat heads.
I am excited as the connie chung should be ready a week later then 1 more late flowering PE a week after that.
The grow logs i reviewed before growing PE gave a range of 5 2 - 56 days flowerig
to harvest. 1 post claimed it was like clock work his PE was ready at 52 days every time.
Well his growing environment is obviously different form ours.
I wanted it to be ready sooner but I want it at its best. Its for me so I'm after the quality over speed
or quantity.
If all goes well I hope for 3/4 LB over the next 2 weeks.
.And I could handle these bugs for another week or two, but i would be starving my plants in the process, and they have already been flushed for a few weeks now. So I will just chop them friday night, hoping for cloudy trichs all over!
We are on the same page though, you describe how my trichs look on the same days. I am also planning a friday harvest. I know I watered yesterday, but I'm going to give them some water tonight, in preparation for their chop tomorrow night.
I would use the kelp on developing rootzones, and flowering plants. A foliar spray in veg works well, as does a full strength root soak with the kelp after a transplant. Makes them grow crazy fast and healthy roots and foliage.Bummer on the bugs bro. Thanks on the kelp, gonna use it for a couple seeds i have germinating today
Can't wait to see yield and i'm sure your quality s gonna be up there
Great job again man
Though it's pretty natural and organic, so I wouldn't worry about giving it at the wrong time, as long as your not foliar feeding flowers with it
.Yes it is sir! Yes it is..Sorry to hear about the bugs, but the end is in sight.

at 63 days my PE looks almost exactly like this.
11? that may be a bit too long. at 63 days in flower I can tell the trics are changing color quicker in
just the last few days. I think another 3 weeks would be too long and the trics would be 100% amber
and decaying.

That's what people have been saying for a week or two 
. But they just look better every day! You should see this bud man, it's crazzzhheeee frosty! Looks like a damn ice cream cone dipped in sprinkles. Yeah I'm running Dinafem White Widow in Screen of Green.. Wanna veg them to a little over a foot under 400w MH then flip the switch to 12/12!
I just go by looks, I have sort of a schedule in my head. If you look back to when I was actually feeding I listed what I was using in what amounts, and at what pHdid you have a feeding schedule for this ? i wanna grow the same strain soon and i was wondering if you would be kind to pass your schedule alongim new to all this and im confused on when to add nutes you know what i mean?
. If you want I could put together a weekly thing, but every plant is different. Different size, strain, and light requires different amounts of nutrients I'm finding.

You could always plant them, and follow this journal and stay like 2 weeks ahead to see whats next
. Every time I fed I listed /gal quantities, and only had very minor burning on the tips of the leaves. The only thing I could really list is to follow the full strength fox farms feeding for tiger bloom and grow big, and use 20mL big bloom for regular feedings and 30mL for strong feedings. Only use the grow big and big bloom for veg, and then use big bloom and tiger bloom for flower. I would recommend keeping mostly the big bloom /grow big program for the first 4 weeks of flower, and use about 5mL tiger bloom and 15mL grow big in the last week and then start using 15mL tiger bloom 5mL grow big for the 5th week and then just use only tiger bloom and big bloom for the rest of flower until you flush.
If that sounds complicated just go back to page one and start writing down what I fed with on what days.. I followed a water - feed - water - feed schedule..

Great looking buds man! Just smoked some PE the other night, and lemme tell ya! That's gonna be some great smoke
Great grow man, just spectacular. Learned a lot from you! Picked me up some kelp, and my girls are loving it
Thanks Verde
Glad you did! Kelp is the bomb! Just watch the build up, use the reccomended dose when you feed and it will be all good. It's a good health booster for the plants. Like I said before I think healthy plants produce the best bud, keeping every little spectrum happy gives you the best buds. Make sure your using some cal mag too, the plants LOVE that shit.
Awh yee..

Day 64.. Next photos will be the last before trim.
The leaves are getting really purple, and the calyxes are starting to get purple too. Pretty beautiful! The effect is most noticeable on the smaller buds, so there will be a great range of colors.
I love flowers. So pretty
