New Grower First grow DP StarRyder

Looking good! Nice to be on the home stretch. Yeah, you probably did have a little nitrogen toxicity going. Most of us have issues with that trying to find the correct Cal Mag to use as we use our LEDs. Most sources of calcium have nitrogen.

Thanks @jingo. I am using the AN calmag extra. No idea if there is Nitrogen in that. Going to look into that. Day 60 for the StarRyders allready. Leaves of the first StarRyder are showing some purple spots. I love the colourchange that is occuring.

Day 61.
What do you guys think, how long left? Not looking for a couchlock effect but on the other hand don’t want to chop to early because I read that they can really pack on extra weight in the final stages. StarRyder uno

You're actually about there if you're looking for something that doesn't have that strong the couch lock. Some close-ups of a few your buds would help determine. I enlarged one photo that shows some calyx is starting to swell up, and pistils starting to die back.

Thanks @jingo. Unfortunatly I do not own a loop so I cannot look at the trichs. Also, when I look at other StarRyders, they normally finish in 80 days. Could my 24 light cycle have speeded things up? They really look ready. Planning on taking them down on Sunday. They just recieved their last watering. Day 62 uno

Nice weekend

I think of Sunday Harvest would be about right. What I think you should do now is strip off every fan leave that doesn't start inside a bud, what I mean are the big ones that don't have any real Frost and you don't have to be getting too close to the bud to snip them off. That would give you some good life until you finish off.

I never know what to expect with the number of days it takes a plant to be ready for Harvest. Mine seem to take longer than most people's and grow bigger so something I'm doing is causing that.

There are some cell phone apps out there to let you magnify your camera digitally and you can get some pretty good close-ups of the buds if you can hold your hand steady. You can actually get some trichome shots that way

Day 64. Today I chopped them down.

The nugs of one is a bit fluffy. The nugs of the other are really dense. Really happy with the result. Don’t have a scale so cant tell the weight. Will go shop for one later this week so will post the dry weight soon. What remains is this Blueberry Bliss one day 59. She will be on water starting today and get the chop this weekend.

The remaining Blueberry and mini StarRyder will be fed till next weekend and get the chop the weekend after that.

Many thanks for all the help AFN. Cheers

Great looking buds bro, congratulations! Can't wait to see the final weigh-in.

If I end up with 100 gram total I would be more than happy! Have a nice day.
