New Grower Day 49. Seems like a late bloomer.

Yes, you have over fed them. The way the leaves are curling down is a sure sign. I think a good flush is in order. Run 3 times the pot size of pH balanced water through them.

thanks for the reply Muddy. I flushed her this morning, 3 gal at pH6.3. Gonna be out of town for a few days. We'll see how she responds. Thanks again for your advise. I'll definitely post some new pics when I get back.

Ok, I got home from a 4 day vacation to a shriveled, sad looking girl. I fed 1/2 gal with 1mL A, 1mL B, and 1/4 tsp Cal-Max. (Measurements are to the gal, I applied 1/2). Three or fours hours later, she perked right up. Still looking burned and deficient at the same time. Not real sure what to do. Buds appear to be swelling up, white hairs are turning red, and trichomes are finally visible. Here are some pics from today, day 58. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

good luck bud i hope she turns out ok .....if not she might be ready to smoke ....

Thanks swampman. This grow was full of rookie mistakes. Heading out today to pick up a magnifying glass. I read Muddy's thread about when to harvest, but I dont think I can trust my leaves to tell me the proper time. they have been yellowing and falling off for weeks, due to excessive nutrient levels. hoping to let her go until day 70 or so. I guess its just pH'd water from here on out. What do you guys think?

 

[Muddy]

I agree, just go with plain pHed water here on in. Do that for two weeks and you should be good. There is still a good bit of green left in your leaves so the buds will continue to fatten up a bit more.

Thanks a bunch Muddy! You saved my first harvest just in the nick of time. Can't wait to start some more. Only magnifier radio shack had was 60x, tough to see those little trichomes. Have you heard of keeping them in the dark the last 48 hrs? Anything else I ought to know?

​

some will suggest darking them out for a day some 48 ...it builds the trics more and brings out thc ....some dont black them out ....i have seen reports from companies saying to dark them out for 7 days i dunno for sure but alot will suggest different opinions to different strains ....I guess its a test u gonna have to do at ur own judgement !!!!!!!
