Eh up!
Blue dream auto in DWC, probably about 3/4 through flowering according to the other grows on Grow Diaries. She looks like crap, doesnt smell, no stickiness in buds which are dry to the touch. I overfed her, took my eye off PPM, it kept rising and i didnt lower it enough so shes burned for sure.
At this stage id expect to see the callyxes swelling but thats not happening, all that seems to be happening is the buds looking more purpley and feeling drier.
Should i just pull her?
Cheers!

I mean, you're nearly there. At very least, you might have some dece to give away. . ..

I have a Pineapple AK auto doing a similar thing to yours; super bland "dirt weed" aroma, little frost to speak of, probably gona be weak smoke:

I was initially unsure why mine seemed to act "over fertilized" i switched it to bloom nutrients upon first sign of flowers, always had sufficient runoff. But in hindsight i was using "bad drops" to monitor pH and I believe this one was getting way too alkaline feedings, like probably in the mid to upper 7s. I almost threw mine out like 5x but it's in day 122 (pic is about day 110) of a "75 day strain" and i know about breeder times, but was still hoping for under 100 days.

Anyways. . ...stay the course. We're almost there, man

I had an issue in DWC with reduced aroma and flavor vs coco. I feel ya bro, let it finish growing and get what you can out of it. This is why I stick to container growing. :lol:

Cheers guys. I lopped off what i thought were the worst looking buds, the stuff lower down isnt tooooo bad fingers crossed the callyxes start to swell and at least some of it will grow halfway decent...

Nah nothing extreme mid 20s. Fubar - LOL thats a new one to me. Love it. Harsh but true
If you watch ww2 stuff they will bring up fubar. Used by the troops a lot back then.


My first couple grows ended up getting crispy.

Couple things I found.

Don't unplug fans and leave them unplugged. Lol

Plants need to be a lot further away from the light than I thought. Even for led. The hand trick is dumb.

Less is more. Start low on feed hi on lights and slowly adjust.

It takes 2 or 3 days for the plant to react to a change. So don't change things up to fast.

Don't fuck with ph to much. The food usually brings it into an ok range. Adding a lot of up and down increases ec a lot. I have not touched my ph at all this go and plants look great. Ec of 1 in ro water has me around 6.5 without adjusting. So I leave it there.

Once you fuck up...shit is hard to fix.
