Thanks @SilverGrobo . Outside the box and the one above the plant both read 40, so I’m going to assume that’s OK. Will be watching closely though!

We have pistils!! Day 44

Going through the big stretch and shooting upwards. Looking really good now. Considering taking more fan leaves off, but hesitant to mess with what is now consistent and impressive growth. Any thoughts?

Clean her up a bit. Nothing major but open up bud sites to light

bluegro · May 20, 2021, 8:58am

Thanks @Todd.grobo. Can I take the ones I’ve circled below, even though their stems are right up against a bud site?

bluegro · May 24, 2021, 6:47pm

Getting there now. All looking nice and healthy, stretching is over (i think), and the bud sites are starting to fill out nicely!

I got a dehumidifier and am trying to keep my RH at 35-45%.

Todd.grobo · May 24, 2021, 6:58pm

Every fan leaf with a stem longer than an inch should get removed to bulk up your buds.

bluegro · May 25, 2021, 8:13am

Thanks! Will do!

bluegro · May 25, 2021, 10:54am

OK, gave it a pretty solid haircut. Hope it wasn’t too much, but I think it’s OK. Followed your advice–all fan leaves with stems more than 1" long. I also took one or two shoots off the bottom that weren’t looking too strong. Fingers crossed for the home stretch. According to the recipe I should be around 3 weeks away or slightly less.

Todd.grobo · May 25, 2021, 12:08pm

Much better lets see how she stretches now!

bluegro · May 29, 2021, 3:12pm

Still looking good–seeing first trichomes!

bluegro · June 3, 2021, 11:46am

Definitely in the home stretch now. Trichomes still developing (and look fully clear, from what I can tell). Flush theoretically starts Monday, according to schedule, but my drain and fill is supposed to be tomorrow. Should I do normal drain and fill tomorrow and then again Monday? Should I just ride out with my current water till Monday? Should I extend flower a bit? So many questions!!

Todd.grobo · June 3, 2021, 2:34pm

Beauty plant bro.
When your white pistols are well white its not ready. Likely 2 to 4 weeks total. She is stacking well. Whatever your doing dont change it
Those white pistols when there more than half are orange youll start wanting to check the trichomes.
Definitely add a few weeks and keep posting photos your in the final stretch

bluegro · June 3, 2021, 4:10pm

Thanks! I kind of figured something around 2 weeks, but will stay focused on the trichomes. Will extend for a week now and keep checking as I go!

Todd.grobo · June 3, 2021, 5:59pm

She could have a full month still!

bluegro · June 8, 2021, 9:22pm

A little slower going than I expected. But looking good.

Todd.grobo · June 8, 2021, 9:42pm

Yes looking great. 3 to 4 weeks left good job

bluegro · June 11, 2021, 11:36am

Just did a drain & fill, probably my last with nutes (figuring I’ll probably send it into flush mode just before doing my next D&F next Friday). Pistils definitely browning, some progress in bulking; trichomes look fully clear.

bluegro · June 17, 2021, 11:57am

Looks like there may have been some nute burn and that may have slowed growth.

Was thinking of sending into flush with water change tomorrow, but not sure. Pistils seem more than 50% dark, but from what I can tell (with difficulty) trichs still seem clear.

2 weeks is probably the most I can wait to harvest or I won’t be able to properly cure. Any thoughts? Thanks!
