well had a very hot weekend, but zamal is gaining weight, also Dest visually is not expanding, but I've noticed branches started to fall from weight... tied them today. Also Dest has very nice calyxes although buds are quite airy, Zamal however has very small calyxes, but buds are really tightly packed... Anyway looks way more beautiful than a week ago... it's just that I see that person who will be taking care of my cats (or few persons) I cannot trust with watering.. Not even with plain water, so I might have to cut the plants on wednesday... so in two days.. argh.. such a pain, but really getting back here and seeing plants wilted lieing on the ground is something I wish not to experience... will have my final thoughts tonight. Does total darkness for 48 before harvest do any good to resin production or it has to be at least 72? cause this evening will be 48hours left, I could also like wake up on thursday morning and then do the harvest, so that would be around 60hours... damn a bit annoying that I have nobody to take care of my girls for that long, but oh well.. sometimes unconvenient things happen in life, we just need to go along..

72 hours demonstrated the optimal results. But how are you thinking they are done! I do not think they are done. Not even close to it. If

i know man... i really dunno what to do... that girl will be comming every other day, she'll be watering with plain water at best, but if she won't be able to come, or will forget or somth.. im putting a lot of risk on her. her... im not even sure who is going to take care of it... it will be 2-3 people in 12 days.. will be a mess big time... i will try to do my best planning to keep the plant, but it can be last minute call to harvest..

hehe, yeah.. that's another thing... hanging plants for 12 days when they usually dry in 5-6 days with the humidity I have(36-44%).. damn... I need to think differently... Like, buy some 2 liter bottles and premix them with nutes, mark days on them etc. A feeding without potassium silicate(cause last time I had problems, after 1-2 days, there were quite a lot precipitate.. without silica I didn't notice any of that within 5 days..) Also I have like 3x 5feet tall tomatoes living in 1-3gal mediums, those are drinking every 12 hours lol... but I already made my peace with them.
welcome aboard dear harvest hunter haha, will try my best to entertain you!

Good idea leaving premixed nutes. But I would mix lower than usual to be safe. I might even go as far as suggest leaving water premixed with molasses only. If your worried about watering when your gone. Why not leave over sized drip trays. Fill with water the plants should drink what they need. Only plants that are seedlings or young I'd be worried. Good luck buddy doing great for 150 watts.

Well I do not really have any material I could use for trays and I'm not sure how it's done, do you mean just dipping plants into tray filled with water? I think that would be too much even for grown up plant, roots would stay in a water all the time, soil would be soaked.. or maybe I am not following you.. prob had to think earlier about this, thanks for suggestion though, maybe will see that as opportunity on my next vacationGood idea leaving premixed nutes.

Now guys,
Did you really think that I'm gonna throw in some blurred pic and call it a journal post? no no no..
Today is 12 weeks and 4 days into flowering. I was surprised how Dest improved in pas week, looking way more frosty, healthy green, and colas expanded quite a bit. How could I cut that girl when she's trying to gain some weight for me... Zamal too looking nice, frosty, just calyxes are so tiny haha, I added one pic with my nail to compare the size of them
Zamal is showing some deficiencies, next watering will reduce 1-2-2 food by one mil and increase grow 3-0-8 food by 1ml per L. in total I'm giving like 4 ml of combo bloom+grow. Plants seem to like it more that way rather than only grow or only bloom. ppm of Zamal water with nutes is ~1150ppm, Dest - ~1000ppm.Ok here's some pics. Did not realize that Dest panoramic pic was so blurry at the time I took it, but I'm dropping it in anyway, so you could visualize the plant better. Enjoy.

Nice job sim, you should be proud. Can't wait to see the update when you get back bro.
I see molasses was mentioned and is it worthwhile? Been hearing about it for years but does it mainly benefit mycos? Or...?

Hey man, umm not sure about molasses. What I am using are: Biobizz biogrow, Biobizz biobloom, Potsil.com potassium silicate, GK organics liquid seaweed, Aptus camg-boost. Not sure if seaweed is giving any benefit, but maybe it does
About being proud.. Well I can't complain man, thanks, not the best I could have achieved but not the worst case either
it is still in progress man
ok so here's update.
learned new tricks on the windsurfing board, took my bike out of garage, been swimming and surfing most of the time... what a life... well holidays are over and had to come back. I was seriously hoping to find all my plants with yellow leaves lol, but to my surprise everything went jut fine! The only problem was overwatering, since two friends came to take care of the plants one day. Both of them watered with the amount I asked them to water.. Destroyer looks ok, but Zamal is showing some overwatering stress. But not that bad, since they did that only one day.
Jesus people! thank you for not letting me cut those plants.
That time when I was away, temps went down to around 80 and plants made some nice packing. Destroyer made some funny calyxes chimneys on some of its colas. Zamal made some very nice improvement. Still I was checking them today and they were looking like they still need to flower for 1-3 weeks. You can see in pics that both destroyer and zamal has quite some white pistils on them. Although on few destroyer colas stigmas already receded.
Anyway, here are some pics. Let me know what you think.
If there is something you would like me to concentrate on while taking pics, please comment.
Cheers!
Destroyer:
These are the calyx chimneys
..and white stigmas
this one is quite brown.
Zamaldelica:
panoramic view and overwatering stress and lack of N I believe..
Nicely packed buds with white stigmas...
Today it's 14 weeks and 2 days - IOW day 100!
tried to find any amber trichs however unsuccessfully.
So what you guys think, looks like plants would like to continue on growing to me.. but 14 weeks alr..
EDIT: oh yeah, another thing worth mentioning.. Zamal colas became so heavy that stems do not hold them anymore... kind of having problems supporting them...
Cooler nightime temps and letting 'em dry out considerably is the secret, particularly for most sativas. Typically go about a week beyond what they call for in the online strain reviews. From the last pics I'd wait about another week till they till they begin to look over ripe, w/ almost all the red stigmas gone or fully receded. And virtually no white/cream ones at all. I don't know how many times I'seen buds that most would swear are done that shrink when dry to reveal they're still a tad immature. Sativas are more prone to this than Indicas by far.
