Agree with you, either Genetics or low-night temps. :-)

It wouldn't be low night temps...cos I have 2X 120W Bar Heater rigged into a Thermostat.. So if my night temps ever fall lower than 20oC the Stat will kick in and bring the room temp back up to 26oC give or take a few degrees :) .. So its gotta be genetics/nuitrient related :) any-how I have decided to leave the leaves alone.. some of them are just falling away so I'll remove those.. But if they are still attached then I'll leave them be until the fall off naturally :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Hey Stealthy, your girl looks beautiful!

There's something I've be wondering about for a while, its probably a dumb question but how do you change the water in your res, without moving the tree?

Hi dude, its a bit of effort but works fine :) .. I have a spare 10L container, I fill it to 9L with plain water and add my nuits & balance etc.. then I use a Syphon Pump (Bilge-Pump) from a boat shop.. to transfer the nuits to and from the Res Container in which the 'tree' is seated... this way the plant is never moved and in-dangered of having her branches etc snapped! the process of transferring the water/nuits takes approx 10 mins... But whats 10 mins for piece of mind...knowing the plant is safe :) - STELTHY :leaf:

what up stelth lookin gravy
if ur gettin ready to cut i feel obligated to tell u some good info i read before about drying/harvest
it said the best way is to cut the plant and leave it whole or in large segments with branches still attached
it took like 10 days insteadd of a week but let teh plant dry out more evenly with how the moisture evaporated or somehting
then to do all teh real tedious trimming AFTER it dried
that way it gets to suck the moisture out of teh leaves and dry out properly
the right into the jars to bask in that smelly goodness that u smell when u do all teh heavy trimming
the shit made alot of sense
ill try to find the link for u

Hi PT, I do like the idea of hanging the whole plant, if not large segments of it out to dry but its not really practical in my cab.. I plan to cut each one from its individual stem..But keep the stem as long as possible so the bud can take the remaining 'juice' from the stem.. this will help with flavour when it comes to curing :) ... I'd still be interested to check out the LINK if you can find it for me :) & thank-you for the insight, I look forward to the read :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Ok,... I woke up & checked my Res...It was 100% empty :) :) So with out further a-due I decided to start the Flush.. I added 20ml of Blueberry Scented - Final Flush to 9L of PH Balanced water and transferred it across to the recently empty'd Res tub..

Today is the 1st day of the Flush...Not long until my next MONDAY-UPDATE aka : "HARVEST" :) :) :) ... I did think I may use my other Flushing agent as well a few days from now but its not 100% yet.. I'll ponder it some more :)

I also have thought about adding some Vanilla sticks to the curing jars to see if any of the aroma will transpire across to the bud..for smell appeal? also not 100% yet,,, Just an idea that came to me whilst toking on some Cheese my mate gave to me last night :) What are ya thoughts ?? - STELTHY :leaf:

Hi STELTHY, just like to say been following this thread since the start but have never really had anything to add as im new to growing indoors. I must say i have been really impressed with all you have done, respect to you . About your leaves turning color, i dont think you need to worry as if you think about it your plant knows its coming to the end of its life cycle and thats what happens, just go look out side and check out all the trees !!!, its like there autumn. Anyway as i said respect for a great read :-)

alot of people add stuff to the buds in jars like orange peel to get moisture and smell right after over dry so vannilla stick could be nice mate deffo worth a go with a few nugs testing it out mate

I may remove the yellow leaves, I'am still curious as to why some of them are changing to a red-ish/purple colour, and to what that signify's??...after I have determined that then I'll make up my mind whether or not I'll remove them, since its so close to the end :)

i dont think they are causing a problem, sorry if i came off that way. baisicly i think its because the plant is coming to an end of its cycle, much like the other guy said in Autum the leaves on the trees turn yellow and red as well. what i was saying is that if they are not green they have no active chloroplasts in them and are not helping out thus only getting in the way and blocking light to active leaves. you seem to have enough lights in your cab to supply a football stadium so i dont think it would be an issue leaving them on just putting in my 2¢

amazing grow man. can i borrow that cab when your done :joint::)

Today I decided to try something experimental.. : I decided to knock off 30mins when the main light is due to turn on and also 30mins before the main light is due to turn off resulting in the main light now being on a 11/13 light schedule.. the side lighting (CFL's) are still on 12/12, I just figured it'd be nice to give the Royal-Haze a more intense/controlled dose of UV-B 30 mins at both begin and end of the lights on period....What are your thoughts ??

The lighting is only on for 2 more days anyhow, then its lights off for 2 day and then Harvest.. So I'am hoping the 2 days with more intense UV-B concentration should allow for more THC/Trich development.

Not long now until Harvest :) :) :) - STELTHY :leaf:

7.5oz?! Haha dont be silly! I'd say a minimum of 10oz, and a more accurate guess of 12oz.

My uvb should come tomorrow, went for a 25W 30inch arcadia 10.0, 12% uvb, meant to be placed 20inch from reptiles but im gona hang it parallel to my cooltube so it shines straight down, will be 10-12inches from tops.

Anyway, what i really wamted to know was how u introduced ur uvb light to the grow. Was this gradually built up over say a week until it was on for the full 12hrs?

I also had a very similar idea to u, in that i want the cfls and uvb to be on for half an hour before the hps comes on, and i want them to turn off half an hour later. So the hps will be on 11/13 and everything else on 12/12. My reasoning behind this is because this 600W is overpowering and outshining anything in its way, and i want the cfls and uvb to hav a chance to hav their say!

Cant wait for ur harvest man...

48 hrs of Darkness! ... in counting .. :) :) :) ..!!! I did another Res change today ( this will be my last ) 21ml of Final Flush Blueberry Scent in 10L of PH Balanced water.. I also removed a good 2 handfuls of yellow 'loose' leaves to prevent an issues arising throughout the dark period. - STELTHY :leaf:

@lilindian I put a 26w, 10uvb in my cab only about 3 inches from the plant at 12/12 and it was fine. and i'm not sure if it was the uvb, but the plant that is was by is pushing trichs like crazy, but that may just be the strain(bagseed).

anyway just stopping in to see what was cracking
