Ive been watching your latest grow here (yours and Wisher’s) ... guess my biggest issue is still getting the seed started strong with a rapid rooter set in SOMETHING cuz I don’t do rockwool :-/ ... maybe i should try it once ...
U should start your seed in the rapid rooter. When roots have come out rooter then put rooter in 3x3 rw cube.
Make up a gal of nutes in a bucket.
Every day at lights on dunk cube in bucket for a brief couple seconds and thats all for first week..
Before u use cubes for the first time, make up a gal of tea. Take ro water and ph to 5.5 then add +life.... Soak cubes for 15 to 30 mins.. Then just put rooter in cube and use couple tore off chunks from bottom 9f cube to fill in top around the rooter...

View attachment 4132774looks like my hedge in front of my porch...
;)
31 days in the books.
She runs 65 to 70 days..
Wisher i wasnt as successful with my training this time as you see apical colas 8 to 10 inches higher...
However 6 wasnt trained and they look very good and compare to the ones i did train, show that genetics have a great growth structure.. Each branch reaches out and up and chases an opening..
The bud sites on bottom are as defined as the top ones...
If i would of just super cropped them apical colas, this canopy would be banging on the pro level.. Ive had lights down from 2000 watts to 1260 watts the last 5 days due to heat and this weekend i will get the room ducting done and crank up the watts to 3200...
Wisher how much you figure i hurt yield lowering the watts for 10 days in week 3 and 4?
Better question, if you could only pick 2 weeks of the flowering cycle to double the watts, which 2 would be the most important to yield?
And anybody else opinion is fine too..
I would like to see what the census is....

FYI FYI FYI.....
Also you dont need to dunk rw cube for first 3 days after transplanting rooter into it unless temps are high and drying the cube out.. Its pretty easy to tell a fully soaked cube from a dry one...
AFTER them 3 days then start the one day dunk....

probably week 3-5 is the most important time
but they will be fine

Good afternoon all!

So looking at my girls, her trichs are turning cloudy (I’d say about 60-75% cloudy now) and they’re 79 days old. Breeder time to harvest said 80 days, but it definitely doesn’t look ready to me.

Anyway, in preparation for harvest day, do you suggest flushing with the Botanicare ClearEx or just plain water? Obviously not yet, but when it’s ready, flush for how many days?

She still has white hairs everywhere ... I dont want a speedy buzz - I’m too old for that shit *lol* ... And I’ve heard that if a newbie thinks its ready, then it likely still has like 2 weeks.

Here’s a couple of shots, and not sure why but her leaves are starting to look yellow/brown - but the nute mix is the same ppm and ph I’ve been using - unless THAT could be a sigh she’s ready?

See how your buds are all leafy? That is genetics... Having a strain that is less leafy is one of the things you look for when chosing genetics...
You got to grow a few diff strains out to see the diff....
You will learn all that in time..
