looking good man! are you ready for your next selection of plants?

 

I'm considering starting up the Auto Cheese seeds I have next. Although I might pick up some new seeds over the weekend. Will make that decision come day of harvest

[Martin7318]

I'm thinking time to flush and harvest in about a week. Would be cool if I could get some opinions?

Have you been feeding it up until now ? or has it just  been getting water ?

I have been feeding up until 2 nights ago. Will be watered tomorrow again. Not sure if I should carry on feeding.

I'd go straight water

I'm not going to lie I don't really practice flushing, depending how the season goes if it rains at the right time my plants just do their thing and fade.

I see you've overfed them a bit so that's the only reason I'm saying use just water.

There doesn't seem to be much fade going on here . On 1 of the plants There have been a few leaves going yellow daily and I guessed this was because I dropped nute doses about 2 weeks ago. I thought maybe the "fade" would start during flush. Nute burn has stopped now since lowering nute doses.

check the trichomes with your phone, i was very jealous at the level of zoom you can do with your phone man hahaha.

do you know the day of flower they are in? you could probably take these to day 65 or 70, depending on what the trichomes say

I wouldn't worry to much about flushing tbh.

I went and got a jewelers loupe. Can see them nicely now. There is definitely some amber popping up on the bud, not sugar leaves, bud itself. This is why I'm thinking it's chop time soon.

Today is day 54 in flower. Week 8. 

Biobizz schedule has flush down at week 9 and harvest at week 10 (obviously I know this is merely a guideline). I will have to try taking photos with the loupe and update here.

interesting - bud does not normally go amber before the leaves trichomes start going amber.

Sugar leaves are going amber, I was trying to get it across that I checked the bud itself and not the leaves . Obviously a lot more on the leaves than the bud itself.

got you... okay cool - then maybe it is time after all

anything more than 20% amber will be quite sedative

Well done dude, this is not bad for a first grow 

[PsyCLown]

Nice, looking good.

 

My cut of sugarcane is ready for harvest end of week 9. It is a rather quick flowering strain I feel.

As for flushing, eh... not really needed, upto you whether you want to.

[Martin7318]

I appreciate the feedback, guys ... I looks like I've got a few days to go. Still some clear trichomes there, I've completely failed at taking photos with that loupe, so I'm just going by what I know and what I've learnt. Hopefully I don't stuff this up

[Martin7318]

These babies are all cured up with 1 of 3 entirely smoked .

I wanted to thank all who took their time to share their wisdom with me on this grow. Without you guys I would definitely not have made it to harvest! The plants came out beautifully, in my opinion, with really great terps and flavour. Going from smoking outdoor and greenhouse for the last 10 years to smoking straight indoor for the last 3 months has been something to get used to, the high is quite intense if not careful haha  

I tried growing some Auto's after this, terrible failure. Chopped those down in Feb and was gifted 4 plants already in veg. They've just recently been flipped, will start up another diary, so watch out for that

Thought I'd drop some of the final pics from chop day and a picture of some of the end product.
