Basics:
- Pure FFOF soil
- FoxFarm trio nutrients (highest ppm at 1800
I have 5 plants that are 44 days flowering ( 44 days from pistils popping) and due to some pollen sacks (started with 6 plants had to pull one that had uncontrolled pollen sack production) most of my plants are partially pollinated to what may be heavy pollination in some buds. I'm seeing lots of clear, some cloudy and random amber (very, very few), and the buds still have that sparkly look to them, that is slowly shifting to that frosty look. Having said all that I don't plan on harvesting based on days flowering, but would really like to learn by looking at overall look of the buds. I want to get to that golden glow and think I'm at least 3 weeks away (but that is a total guess as all I have to go by is internet research).
I would love to hear what everyone thinks about my 3 week estimate. I'm hoping to cut the nutrients at the right time to allow the plants to fade naturally, pulling all the nutrients out of the soil and fan leaves. Should I start to taper off on the nutrients at this point? Any advice is welcome.
