Ambiguous signs for harvesting

[Greg_L]

I’m growing white widow. Approx 75% of stigma are amber, but when I look at trichomes, they seem clear. Would you start the flush stage, expecting things to agree in about a week?

[Todd.grobo]

I’d flush for 5 days and then dry

[Greg_L]

Thanks Todd. I think I’ve thrown this plant for a loop with a lot of adjustments to it’s schedule. Extended late vegetation because it was pretty small. Then extended Transition phase for same reason. Jumped into a flush a little early because of the stamen color. Then have backed back into flowering
for the last 4 days
because the buds were not very full . Guess it’s time to put it out of its misery.

@Greg_L,

@Greg_L

can I go into Flush phase and wait

((#YourGrowYourCall)):

(I just like to wait to see some [milky Trichomes] before I take it to the [FlushStage], but it is [YourGrow] after all):

@Greg_L

I haven’t yet drained and filled after going into Flush

(The [FlowerStageNutrients] is still feeding the Plant):

@Greg_L

gradually reduce existing nutrient concentration until the harvest

(This would be great if you [PH] your water yourself):

@Greg_L

(Grobo adjusted ph automatically with readings every hour)

Plant is dying! Help! [RESOLVED]

>but balancing pH is happening every hour in your unit

Week 3 Notification

>that is checked every hour of the day by your unit

Grobo internet program?

>every hour pH is measured and adjusted as required

(#ThinkingOutloud): (I think if the [PHprobe] [PHsensor] is not accurately reading properly then the readings gets checked over and over again every hour from the initial {[Drain/Fill]}):

@Stephane

(day 12) (my number 2 nutrient bottle is almost all gone after 12 days)

@Stephen

Houston, we have a problem

@Stephane

@CookieGrower was saying with reference to the PH sensor not functioning properly and telling the system that it is too alkaline and dumping the number two bottle to bring the PH down continually.

(I noticed quite a bit of red/brown colored algae growing on the tip of the probe. I cleaned it with the pH probe cleaning solution and the toothbrush that came with the kit.) (I did the full calibration on the pH Probe)

@Stephane

Thanks again Grobo team for being awesome.

Thanks for the info. The video was great. At this point, can I go into Flush phase and wait for some trichomes to go amber? Then harvest?

[Todd.grobo]

whats your schedule at screen shot under maintenance

[Greg_L]

Just jumped to Flush yesterday after Todds’ suggestion.

[Greg_L]

Just wanted to add that I haven’t yet drained and filled after going into Flush

[Greg_L]

Think I can just do Fills after every 3-4 days with no drains? Thus gradually reduce existing nutrient concentration until the harvest?

[Greg_L]

I thought grobo adjusted ph automatically with readings every hour (even in Flush stage)? Not true?

[Todd.grobo]

The reservoir still holds nutes. You need to drain and flush to get it out when in flush.
Personally I unplug my nutes and refill the bottles and put the lids back on.
