Mo, I'm @ 9 weeks on Saturday, you think I should go into week 10 of flower?
Breeder says 63 - 68 days.
My calyxes are so fat, but I have pistils that haven't completely fallen off. Almost all the pistils are much darker now with a smaller percentage of them being light.

If your not see or can't decide. Why don't you wait half a week and harvest. Lol. Can't decide now or next weekend. So meet in the middle and crop Wed of next week. They look good
I may have asked this but I'm on week 6 since sex shown. They are not thick and dense like they should be. The have white hairs pistil everywhere yet. But you know how the actual green part of the bud starts growing out thicker and with dense buds growing. Mine seem to be growing but not getting more dense. Do they bulk up and get dense the last week or so? I thought they should be by now?
Only 20% of hairs are turning and Trichs still look clearish too. But they are looking nice and I sampled it when I need meds the other day for my nerves and it was amazing. Just tasted shitty They also don't really have too much of a cannabis smell to them. It's white widow and big buds cross. So I'm just thinking they should be WAY more dense with the nutrients and everything.
Coco bloom A/b and MaxBloom Started a low dose when showed first signs of sex and then slowly increased to full strength.
And I defoliated a lot already and that helped a ton and made them grow a lot. But I don't think the got thicker and more dense. Just bigger. Lol. But before I defoliated There were only like 4-5 fan leaves with yellowing And there still none now. So no deficiency that I can see. I use natural Rain water with nutrients every watering. But your supposed to stop nutrients and flush and I have like 1-2 more weeks before I have to stop. So will they get more dense you think. Here's the last pics. I'll try to zoom in on the pic to show you better. And I'll take some better ones when I get home
Yeah I'll take pics when I get home cus the pics I have are before I defoliated. Here's before. I think I posted these already too

And I'm sorry. I believe I may have posted this question before and got responses but I've been kind of out of it cus my health hasn't been good lately and I also can't look at the cl screen very long at a time so I couldn't find if I posted it before or not. I started bothering my eyes looking so much so I just asked quick. So I'm sorry if it's a repeat question
Yeah they are getting big buds. Just don't seem to be the buds bulking up. Seems more like the water leaves and hairs bulking up. Lol. Here's some upclose pics. Maybe you can see what I mean about the actual green bud part isn't sticking out of the buds at all yet. Ya know how Kush sticks out like popcorn. But theses aren't Kush so they shouldn't be like that but atleast should be more than this I thought.

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while since I've been on, jilly is doing great at day 35 of flower. I'll have pics of her up later on, but in the meantime here's her clone under some manifold stress. I'm tweaking my technique a bit with her being a clone. Currently topping the second time a lot sooner after the first "Uncle Ben" topping is done. This made some nice knuckles right off the bat and allowed me to start the 8 shoots a bit lower to the ground. Hopefully this will, in turn, allow me to start building stacks a lot lower. Check her out!! By the way looking good Fred! Chunky girls.

Lookin good. I'm actually thinking of using the other Manifolding technique for clones. It seems to take half the Veg time and looks awesome. My one from seed tho is Nugbuckets mainline method. The clone is Nebulas Manifold method. On requires topping each time. The other you only top once Or your luck out like me and have a self topping clone that worked perfect for Nebulas method. Clones seem to like his Method better and it also take a ton of Veg time away too. Which i like of course. I use both methods tho It's much better if you evaluate each plant or clone and do whichever method it will work best with. I have one right now that I am doing Nugbuckets method on and it is so slow cus
But I always call it Manifolding. I believe mainlining is a term that should not be associated with Cannabis Cultivation because it is also a term associated with hardcore drugs. Many feel this way so I try to refrain from using that term so k don't upset others as well. And I always say this not to be repetitive but so others that may not know that. Can maybe try to refrain from using the term. If they chose to do so.

You see I did mine pretty early as well. I kept it as low as possible for the main. The Manifolded clone got a but tall but I have 10 Cola Shoots started on it. Both sides were kind of topping themselves. I only had to trim one too peice so t would stop branching off new shoots. I have another doing similar cus it's a clone and I may do something fun with it like my bonsai one or something similar

Mainlining works wonders! These were just 2 of 28+ similar colas.
Hands were too busy and sticky for more photos!
I'm taking the summer off cause of temps.
This will get me through till autumn, that's all I needed.

Quick question for you guys. Yesterday my buds were normal and just loose and airy yet. I watered them with plain rain water with no nutrients for the first time in a while. Now today I looked at them and the top bud. The biggest and densest so far. Grew a bit odd and actually grew A LOT in 24hrs. But not in a good way I don't think. If this was the first few weeks of flower then sure. But 3weeks the most until harvest and they decide to have a big growth spurt. Lol. Good for bud size or yeild but not for density. This may make it worse I'm thinking. I tried another bud today cus I needed some medicine my nerves were bad. And this stuff is already just as good as anything I buy locally Just tastes like shit right now. And doesn't smell like cannabis much so it's not a good bag appeal for sure. But for personal I could care less. I just wanted some nice dense buds too. Look at the pic. What do you think is going on

I believe they're just going through their "plumping" stage. Usually occurs around 3 weeks before harvest and ends a week or so later, then they just ripen. She looks good man maybe a little green but hey green is healthy and a nice even fade comes with experience with strains. I myself have yet to get my organic fade down to a science, it's a process, don't stress it.

Yeah I was wondering about that too. My entire grow my plants have always been very healthy medium dark green like they should. This is bright light green so I was afraid something went wrong. I know they usually plump up. I just am still learning this strain too. And never seen them shoot out fresh new mini buds out the top like this. Kool. But I'm just hoping they get more dense the last few weeks here
I forgot there was a mainlining thread, better late than never. Two or so weeks from finishing is this mainlined ACE Malawi in 10gal w/Sunshine #4 and Botanicare PBP. Final run with Chinese LED as I'm upgrading to 6 light Cree COB after this. A little light burn and some nute burn but she's doing okay. Hefty buds for Chinese LED. Strong genetics! She thrived though the mainlining and responded very well after a super crop. I took the tomato cage out when I transplanted to 10 gal but wish I'd kept it in. I plan to mainline two Malawi in 7 gal next run keeping tomato cages in and using Cree lights. Also have an AgroMax Pure UV bulb. Here she is..

They look good. But I don't think it will be done in 2-3 weeks. Maybe it's a fast finisher. But it looks like another 4 weeks atleast. And one other thing. You may have done it on purpose b idk. It looks kind of like a spider in the picture of the big plant in the grow tent. The way you have to Colas growing at an angle. It's odd cus if you grew them straight up those buds probaly would have formed together into one GIANT cola bud. But since you have the Colas laying down almost. Each of this buds is going to grow straight up away from each other. Did you do this on purpose? Just curious. Plus I'm thinking you may not have as big of Cola buds. But maybe each bud will get bigger and yeild more dense buds too. Idk. Cus I'd have to do one side by side to see cus everyone's going to have a difference of opinion on hat in sure. So if have to see for myself. The plants look great tho and your doing great with them. Just wondering why they aren't standing up?
Lol I'm about to catch my morning delight. It's one plant, I decided to super crop after stretch, fear I may run out of vertical. I did actually light is max height. Yeah the center buds are from main cola side branching. Next time I'll time the flip a little better, plus I'll be able to keep COBs closer.
