Candy Kush is day 71 (Auto Seeds) FLUSH STARTED 8/9. Projected Harvest 8/23.
Massive Midget is day 66 (Heavyweight Seeds) Feed Schedule Week 10 Flush to Start 8/14. Projected Harvest 8/28.
Bag Seed is Day 101 (Feed Schedule Week 13) Projected Harvest late September

CK on day 4 of Flush. I took a bud today. It was the one that was having the dying leaves. Started to look brown in the middle and like it was drying on the vine. Was able to save a decent sized top part and the bottom smaller part and have those little nugs drying in bag now. The middle of the bud was all brown. Not really full on mold, but it did not look healthy so i trimmed it and chucked it out. Got some little bits and bobs and sugar leaves though drying for QWISO hash later on once all trim from both plants is collected.

Massive Midget got her last feed per schedule today at 1/2. She is living up to her name and the buds are getting so fat. Fox Farm Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, CalMag and ChaChing. pH in at 5.2, out at 5.7 so the buckets are in the zone at 6.2.

Seem to have the spider mites under control. Killing them by hand now as i don't want to spray azamax so close to harvest.

Pulled off a bunch of leaves that had mite damage, so the girls are looking a little less full, but you can see the bud development more accurately.

Baggie fed at full-ish strength today and have been giving 1Tbsp per gallon of molasses of water days. She seems to like it.

Beautiful! the ck is loaded with trichs!
Qwiso looks pretty straight forward, have you considered rosin with hair straighteners ?

Ordered a puffco by the way cheers for the heads up!

I need to spread some more love around before your next rep slap buddy

Thanks TT. I saw some dude doing the hair straightener technique and thought it seemed hit or miss. Plus, I don;t really want to buy a hair straightener. i already have a bunch of 91% isopropyl for cleaning my Roor Glass, so i can just use that for the QWISO. If you do the straightener I'd be interested to hear your report on results and technique.

Nice on the PuffCo. It really gives big hits, but be careful, it;s deceiving in that you don;t really feel anything until you are ready to cough!

Candy Kush is day 75 (Auto Seeds) FLUSH STARTED 8/9. Projected Harvest 8/23, if not sooner.
Massive Midget is day 70 (Heavyweight Seeds) FLUSH STARTED 8/14. Projected Harvest 8/28, if not sooner.
Bag Seed is Day 105 (Feed Schedule Week 13) Projected Harvest late September to Mid October.

Things are humming along. pH'd water only. Due to harvest the CK this coming Sunday, but it is really putting off an odor (my downstairs neighbor smells it, so had to put filters on the vents in the house and rev up my hepa filter). Gonna have to keep them outside as much as possible for the next 6-11 days until harvest. Good thing these girls are on short time!

CK has gotten a final burst of some foxtail buds / new calyxes on most buds, some are now starting to recede while others are pretty fresh looking. Could be genetics or a last ditch effort of this gal trying to get preggers. Pulled off a couple older fan leaves which are just getting in the way at this point. General yellowing of leaves is taking a strong hold.

MM doing really well, a gorgeous plant and really fat buds all around. The colas looks especially promising. No sign of foxtails yet and expecting to see yellowing in the leaves in the next day or two.

Mites seem to be under control, have not seen any adults, been wiping the leaves with 1/3 Rubbing alcohol + 2/3 water solution to kill off any eggs and young ones every 3 days. Don't want to use AzaMax so close to harvest.

Baggie is also humming along, pushing bud sites and pistils everywhere. Starting to think she may harvest as late as October at this rate. Taking her time.

Hey those look great. Funny, I'm at almost the exact same day with my 2x Sour Diesels. Just started my flush today in fact, day 74 and looking to harvest day 84-85 (a week from this weekend).

So are you measuring your runoff pH, using the +/- (2x the difference) rule, and then compensating for it with the pH going in? I was measuring runoff myself this time around and noticed some pretty wide swings when the girls were feeding heavy.

Correct. I had a major pH problem early in the grow because of the vermiculite batch i had, and learned the only way to compensate was going in at 5.2-5.3 (after tons of flushing), which after i hit the groove always had me out at 5.7-5.8, which had me at around 6.1-6.4 for most of the grow. Since i've been flushing i go in with pH 5.8 and it comes out at 5.8.
