oh super nice! I give even trying tp understand how to feed my plants by those numbers,. I experimented a lot last year and I seriously tortured this one poor plant. this year I'm keeping it simple. I stuck them in the ground and I give them water and weed around them. Gonna put up some mosquito netting and let them go. I hope my buds get frosty like what you've got going on.

I dont think so...week or 2*, tops. Based on trichs. At least I hope not as that would be like a 12 week flower, lol. I'm waiting for 25% amber before I chop and she's already at about 20%.

Thanks. Yeah, there's a lot of variables that need to be considered when trying to use the all purpose. And I still supplement. For me soil content was huge. Very forgiving because of the sandy soil I use. Really good drainage.

I had a blast learning how to mainline and lst with one plant last year. I put it in a sytrofoam ice chest and trained it to go around the outer edges of the top rim. I got teased a lot for that but the drainage was for shit. I had the hardest time keeping it healthy. I ended up getting a 20 gallon plastic grow bag that I filled about halfway with soil and then cut the bottom off the ice chest and just stuck it in the new soil so the roots had somewhere to go. I started off with some cheap ass, hot bag of ground up bark that I thought was soil. learned it wasn't and had to try to somehow get the plant out of it and get some soil in there. I thought I killed the thing more than once. I stewed some soil on my patio all year long and added lots of perlite to it and toiled it right into my garden this year. You're right, I learned the soil has to be good. In the ground is much easier than in pots.

Yeah, I have a soil mix for pots and it's heavy on drainage and drying. I like to be able to control the water instead of wait for it to dry up/get used. Without a plant in it, my potting soil mix dries in about 3 or 4 days.

UPDATE (5/30) - Gettin close, a few days to a week. Top Colas almost ready. Very little new growth, nearly everything red.

Not premi, don't know what you're basing that on.

Care to elaborate on why you think so? To me, all red pistils and 20-30% amber means chop. The only reason I can think you feel that way is because of the lack of yellow in the leaves but, that's not always an indication of peak harvest.

You still got white hairs and and I like to see that glow she gives off that let's me know she done. Like an amber hue. Your red hairs are receded, looks like she should swell but then when those white hairs turn red they goto receded and swell as well. I know every strain works uniquely depending on environmental variables. Just want everyone to max out on yields. I've been a one to cut too soon and until I saw the amber glow I was blind.

Personally, I think the flash is making it look lighter than it is in person. Very few whites, and that's why I say a week tops. Even the white pistils have red tips. By next week, I would be surprised if there was any actual new pistil growth. Some sativa strains never stop pushin a white pistil out here or there. Again, while the pistils are a good indication, I'm going based on trichomes. And yield wise, I'm happy already. This is a bagseed/auto in day 78, haha. Even if it's 2 more weeks, I'm ok with that, too. But based on her progression so far, I don't see it going another 3 weeks. I won't chop her till she's ready, at least by my standards. It's always worked out fine before.

I know it's a bagseed, lol. I know it's an auto. I don't know what strain. I was just making an observation about sativa strains and their pistils.

Are these autos?..looks nice, but small for an outdoor grow, what area are you in to be flowering this time of year...that may fill in the info gaps I have...

Yes auto. It shouldn't be flowering at this time of year, haha. Bagseed that I planted right before april.

I wish I had them like that. Every once in a while I get a bean and ride it out, haha.
