I vegged for about 2 months under the 400w HPS. So far, everything has been going great. I didn't have any nutes up until about 2 weeks before flowering. Then I grabbed some Fox Farm nutes, and everything has been going well. One thing I did do from the beginning was give them molasses. I read lots of good things and wanted to see if it had any effects on the plants from the beginning. The stems seem to be very strong as I have only had to guide the stems with some string as you can see. As far as odor, nothing really, but once you rub your fingers on those sticky little buds.....OMG....they give you the most amazing fruity, sweet and sour, smell haha. I can't wait to smoke them.
Vapor - I checked out your grow and it looks great. How much did you yield from your girls? Any suggestions for my grow? How long did you flower for? I think I may let mine go a little longer than I had planned after seeing yours.
i had 5 plants and yeilded a total 0f 119g of nice dry bud.. i only vegged for 4 weeks and the first 4 weeks of bud cycle were screwwed up with serious nute problems, advancednutes helped me out alot..
i let mine go for 8 solid weeks and a couple of days..so i would suggest fdds trick..wait till you think you bud is ready to harvest.....then start the flush..cause mine looked amazing , and it still is top notch now, but when i looked at it under the scope it could have gone 1 more week easy onlt 10% of the trichs were amber..
wich is ok by me cause i dont like that lethargig buzz anyway.
now my growth developement on those harvested plants was probably stunted by the nute problems in the begining so i know that i probably lost a week due to stress..
looking at your plants i would say leave them as long as you can take it generally with bg strains 9 weeks gives you sweeeeettttt dense drippy buds. let 90% of those hairs go brown before you think about harvest , unless you are like me and prfer a more active high then cut at about 75% these plants mature from the top down so you could actually harvest the top buds when they are 90% and the bottoms would be at about 75%,,the best of both worlds ,,or you could harvest the top and let the bottoms continue to ripen...lookin good you shouldnt be dissapointed..
i expect over 45g per plant in this next round..
