I did, however, push the girls to the limit for the previous two weeks with perfect co2, temp, RH coupled with 'Shooting Powder'. The shooting powder, once added, raised the ppm a bunch and lowered the PH, but MAN, the colas went from scrawny to fat-fatties in those two weeks!

Eggman... What is 'Shooting Powder'?

Shooting Powder is a House & Garden product which you add CAREFULLY the last three weeks before harvest. It adds a new layer of pistils even over the old ones. I may have overdone it with one of my plants and have a serious nitrogen toxicity at the worst possible time! I really think it helped because the colas ALL almost doubled in girth. It's super expensive.

Well egg things are looking awesome.

?'s......the middle pics, the girls still with white hairs. Are you chopping them soon?

The first pic looks killer. Please correct me if I am wrong here, the dark green shine, is that nitrogen toxicity? If your flushing her that's great.

Thanx fer pointing this out 2Pointer,
It is NITROGEN TOXICITY. No question. Got a little aggressive with the Shooting Powder. It's affect MY BEST COLA! I may have to cut that bud early. I really don't know what to do. The trikes on that cola are just now getting cloudy. Such bad luck! Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanx Sammo!
I can't wait for this to be over...I've begun making mistakes...

 

[eggmansky]

Hadda take a 'quick taste' (microwave, practice trimming [newbie]). I laughed so fuckin hard I thought I'd puke. I oughtta harvest now and keep everyone laughing.

What's the best trichome stage for LAUGHING? Felt good for a change...

 

[Roark]

Don't know. But I want to.

For the trichs. Try to get as much N out as possible. You could try darkness. If light is the enemy of thc then it would seem to make sense that darkness during flush would help on two fronts. Just my thoughts.

Thanx Two,
As I'm running 24/7 maybe going to 12/12 would help?
Nute sked backs way off at this point. Nuthin I can do 'cept lights.
Put the RD drip OUTSIDE to finish...she just got too damn big for the tent and bondage is not in my genes. Mid 70's to 80's here all week..we'll see. A thing of beauty fully spread out...wife doesn't know yet...back porch, southeren exposure, sun from E to W ALL DAY!
THIS is so much fun...better than trains in the basement!
