What can i do better starting wk 4 of flower (first time grower)

Cvntcrusher · Sep 28, 2020

this is my bagseed. I dont live in a state where we get medicinal or anything like that. So this is probably a bagseed from a long line of bagseeds lol. Anyways. this is my first grow!

Lighting: 350W actual wattage LED
Medium: FFOF
Nutrients: big blooms & buds
Tent: 32x32x64
Intake: small ac/humidifier from Amazon.
Exhaust: Vivosun 4" filtration kit
2 6" fans always blowing one below one above the canopy.
Lighting: 12/12
Day 21/23 either or lol of flower.

A few very minor burnt tips here and there. A few leaves are starting to lighten up just a tad bit.

I feel like im at the point where now all I can do is sit back and let her fatten up. Maintain her current course. And victory will be mine.

I just want to know, is there anything I can do better? I tried to scrog. Ive supercropped where I've deemed necessary. Pinched the stems since day 21 once a week or so to help strengthen the branches.
Using 2gallons of water per feed every 3-5 days.
1 gallon nutrients 1 gallon regular water.

Thanks guys!

Stop cutting so many leaves off.

Haven't cut anything! I read even if fan leaves are blocking bud sites from light leave them be if they're healthy. Because THEY are what make her grow combined with light. So im not cutting her anymore.

Looks good to me, bud. The skull might give your buds some negative vibes, though. Make sure you give them a vibe check before you cure, and if necessary correct the vibes.

Roger that, will add creepier shit asap so that i can scare the trichomes out of her and onto the buds.

The skull just needs a Doobie, sunglasses, nice hat and all will be well.

Plant looks nice just make sure to give it enough time and not chop early.

I've made it this far, I will wait. Thanks for the advice. I think, from looking at her. Shes a sativa hybrid. Therfore 8-10wk flowering if that's what she is.

And I'm pretty sure the breeders count from after the stretch stops. I just know it's felt like mine have been in flower forever, lol.

Count from the day you flip, 95% of what I've run finishes between 60-75 days from the flip.

This is 60 days from the flip, but I think 2 weeks is optimistic. The other plant that's 60 days from flip is a lot closer.

This one I expect has a week or two left? Hard for me to say but it's noticeably closer.

You must have really stripped it before flipping to flower then.

I am ordering a microscope this week so I can see better and harvest when its time.

I did. I went hard. And I took some here and there first two weeks. Read that article and was like fuck I'm an idiot. No more touchy. Glad I know so I won't do this to my other ladies about to be flipped.

Whatever camera you are using is a hell of a lot better than the cheap microscopes.... I can see the trichs just fine.

Well. Pruning is important. But you want to stop pruning a couple weeks before flipping to 12/12. I take a couple leaves off here and there during flower but not very many at all.

The pics I posted were taken using my phone's telephoto lens and a macro lens attachment I snagged from Amazon.

I cannot recommend it enough. Don't fuck about with the microscope is my advice. I also have a cheap handheld and a cheap USB, they are impossible to use. Much easier to use your phone's auto-focus and just snap a bunch of pics, pick out the best. (I notice I picked a bad one for the not done plants though, lol)

Galaxy s9 lol last time my buddy came over I was showing him pictures and he was asking about quality etc i blew his mind when I said I don't edit pictures I just take them thats it lol

I'm just buying a 60x microlense or something like that. I just want to be SURE. I'm going for all milky with 20-30% amber

Its crazy how trichs just keep appearing more and more daily!
