Looks great Arn. I’m just behind you day 15 of flower.

day 25 of flower
impressive grow, I managed to get 5 decent colas, the ones close to the door being a bit small at the moment, but I’m optimistic wrt the final yield!
I will definitely keep 5-6 main branches next time, 8 was a bit cramped…

Love to see people agree Experience / Hindsight! Good job @Arn

Lookin’tasty

Arn · October 10, 2021, 8:19am

thanks both

as the bud are stacking, I’m starting to see a few fan leaves from the biggest branch getting spotted with orange/yellow/rusty dot, as well as the tips turning brown/black.
Is this anything to be concerned about during flower?

just did a ph check to be sure, but the probe was still calibrated.

Day 35/56 of flower, a few pistils started turning red-ish, fan leaves are really getting cannibalised, and the flower are more frosty than ever !

Pistils turning, let’s get the macro lens out

Hey Arn thanks what magnifier are you using? I had bought the one from grobo and it’s not up to par.
THANKS

Arn · October 22, 2021, 9:39pm

it’s not a magnifier, but rather a “microscope” camera from amazon, it was £15 at the time, bit it’s just a glorified camera module with a magnifying lens at the end.

someone mentioned it a few months ago : the main goal to get a decent picture is to get it stable enough, so either replace the mount with a magnetic hook and attach it to the side, or be like me, after years of painting figurines and mignatures, you get use to staying still
as with growing, practice take times, but you should be able to get decent shot of trichomes with those inexpensive camera.

Oh and remember, the more trich you see, the more you’ll be able to count to gage ripeness, so make sure you get the middle of the frame in focus to get the most out of each shot

STANK · October 23, 2021, 12:38am

Thanks so much. I’m looking now.

A post was split to a new topic: Help with my grow please!

Looks like nute burn. Are you adding anything?

I would consider a drain n Fill now. Water only.

Loco316 · October 23, 2021, 6:01pm

Thanks I’ll change the water today.
I only used hydro guard.

Arn · October 25, 2021, 7:39am

day 100, 16 days of flower left, got about a third of the pistils brown, I’m pretty sure the recipe is going to be on point.

A bit more fox tailing that I’d like, but considering the strain and the distance buds are from the light, that was expected, I’m glad things aren’t getting burnt for now.
would most definitely send the next one to transition a bit earlier next time.
