But as you will see on the photos she green up at the top and buds grow bigger!
she could be finally responding to the extra nitrogen white'ty............. the amnesia sure starting to look heavy
I had a fan rotating on them at full strenth
these are lethal in a tent, for one good reason................. if you have a hermi, and fail to spot it,............. the strong fan blowing air in all directions, "Spreads The Pollen" round the whole tent !!!!!!!!! pollinating the lot, if no fan, and you fail to spot the herm sac open................. only a few bottom branches get the pollen............. so not ruining the whole crop etc................. theres 580m3/hr moving through the tent so plenty of air change and sedate air movement.................... keeping the co2 and o2 coming in fresh........ all you did was excelerate dehydration, is why the leaves folded up, to slow down hot air transit leaf dehydration, = 'Transevaporation".......... !!
Ultimate 1 which has been LST'ed pretty good has a lot of small buds in the middle which are covered by leaves
what we do, is "Leaf Tucking" where needed round the covered buds white,.............. just tuck the offending fans under the flower out of the way................ you may have to repeat tuck it, as it try to move back to the light.......
So Amnesia is ready?? How i will make the flush? With my 0.3 plain water or buy some distilled water?
RO @Ph ??............ you dont need to Ph the RO just "Oxygenate It" then made up to @23c, RO is the best flush water, as RO "Collects" salts, as it trickles down through the medium, as it has none in it !!....... oxygenating the water well, improves the flush capability....... the Ph of RO after oxygenating will be 8.0 or more................... this is just the co2 & oxygen giving the Ph reading ok.............. dont worry re the high Ph.......... just give it to em as it is after 24hrs aeration............ Ec will be non existent = great flush water.....
You can buy RO from a marine aquarium & fish outlet, (If You Can Find One?) = RO in 20ltr containers, (Marine Tank Top Up Water) =very cheap RO............ use it the same as your are now,................ water one day, the next let dry, water the next again................. water untill run off every water flush...................... and then remove the run off from under the plant, as to not let it sit in salt rich flush water.
If you can not get marine aquarium RO................ use the 0.3Ec bottled water, again do not Ph down, just use at the Ph it's at post the 24hr aeration...................... Ec0.3 is pretty low in salt anyhow white ok........ flush for 10 days............. you can monitor the Ec on each bi-daily run off from the flush, you should see the Ec slowly dropping down, except the amnesia, who's Ph will rise !!........... as the lime starts to break down after 75 days of acidic nute, begins to break down the bonds in the CaCo3 calcium carbonate.............
we are at day 75..........i would go to "85" days....... "before" we consider starting the 10 days, for amnesia flush = 95 days, a tad over the standard 3 months, for an auto grow........... the amnesia has not quite finished loading up the trichs at the mno white ok................ patients is a virtue here ok........ we wait for her to start to "Retract" the "Mobile Nutrient Elements NPK"............. you can see this happen, as the leaves begin to take on the autumnal colors............as nute move back into the flowers, the critical final loading period ok.......
you will first see the light brown break out as the leaf dies back after returning its mobile nute back to the fruits white ok......... 1st signs of ripening................ the amnesia may stay mid yellow, as she is now, but she will begin to move to brown, as she ripens off ok.................. there is no anthocyanin in cannabis "Leaves", so no "Red" hues, during autumnal ripening !!................... it's the anothcyanins though, that turn the canna stems red though,.......... usually during a phosphorus deff event !!........... or a cold snap will also bring out the red stem !!..........
so day 75 bang on 2.5 months now................ another 10 day till amnesia flush, if she is ready then !!....... plus another 10 days of the flush when we get it started = 20 days at least till the amnesia might be ready....................... re leaf color, you see teetee's color at harvest white yea ??
once the flush is done and Ec is low in run off water.................. not critical but is nice if we can get it down,............. more the plant color dictates when the flush is done.............. once flushed, we leave leave her for 2-3 days "No Water' on the same light pattern, to dry the flowers a little while on the plant white ok........
now we have an issue, as the 2 ultimates will need more days than the amnesia.................... "Qs" how to trim the amnesia, as we wont be able to use the tent to sit in ???..................... we still have negative pressure in the room, so if you sit on a stool and trim in the room, but outside the tent........ no smell should make it out of the room right ??.................
the trim smell will be sucked back into the cab, and treated with the carbon filters as usual......... the only issue is, when you go in and out of the room white, each door opening will let a large amount of aroma into the house...............
after 5 mins trimming in the room white, you will not be able to smell anything at all in the house, but your misses will tell you "it's Stinks In Here" !!!!!.................... your olfactory in your nose will shut down to the smell white.................. you wont smell a thing !!!!!!!!............. just keep all the windows and doors shut, and put lots of smelly candles around the house to adsorb the aroma etc............. with two fans sucking air out of the tent, and out of the space,................. two fans should create a nice amount of negative air pressure in the room now......
once trimmed to walnut sized buds................. hang them in the A4 brown bags inside the tent, to dry, using the brown bag drying method, = 1 day for every 10% of RH the day of the trim............ + one day...... if RH is 50% then 5 days plus one @23-26c...................... that might be the temp at floor level, then just hang them as close to the floor as possible white'ty, as we dont want them up in the 28-30c zone at top of tent ok....... dry to fast there ok................ i gave the exact drying protocol earlier in the thread etc.........
the ultimates are no where near the flush yet white ok.............. another 14 days at least, then flush, but we will see how they go the next 10 days................. after the amnesia final feed period ends, 10 days from now.........i can just see a small amount of yellow beginning to show in the ultimates 1-2 leaves, autumn has started with these, but early days yet................ they will be well heavy by the time they reach the end of the flush 30 day from now minimum !!................. thats 105 days at that point................. 15 days short of the fems tee just finished at 115 days............. so only ten days between them, but the fems usually hall "Marginally" heavier though, but are cheaper on the lecky, by 6hrs a day in flower, 6hrs x 60 days in flower (Fems) = 360hrs saved right......... on fems compared to 18/6 all the way for auto's....................
see you next Monday white'ty, all looking pretty good...................... nice culture work there man......... you are 70% of the way there now.................... day 75...................
Addendum;
did you see what the top shooter overdrive type auxin chem stims did to the DesFran flowers ??............... lots of micro bud spirals. Coming up off the bud crowns................. shooting them all into spirals............ if you dont want that, drop the overdirive and swap it out for "Pk13/14".................. you wont get the foxtailing bud spirals that way, just plump fruits, with all the energy going into "Trichome manufacture"........ i prefer the non auxin chem stims, au natural bud,................ with no spirals............... but each to their own white yea ....
