How much longer? Week 15 already….

[Hot Joe]

@2budz @Wraith Here are the microscope pictures I got this morning. They are not of the leaves. I got calyx pictures. I have amber and some clear. This is mainly throughout the whole plant. Would it be safe to safe they are ready?

Can I suggest a progressive harvest since it's your first run?
they still look pretty clear to me, I would probably let someone else weigh in bud. That last image looks the most ready imo.
I'm still learning myself.

You know you can save those pictures on the laptop and then upload those to AFN, right? That way you retain the quality you have

OK FTW, as long as you're not growing outdoors
Your plants look pretty close to done, no way to know for sure without checking trichs. Do you have a loupe?

Here are some updated pics. Looked at my calendar and tomorrow will make 17 weeks. I think I am getting closer. If not ready, only concern is they still have some clear trichomes. But alot of cloudy and some amber already. 100% pistils are orange and look to be shrinking.

should i wait a week or give them 48-72 hours of darkness then harvest?

You have yourself a lock out no doubt and this girl will take forever to mature without fixing the lockout. I’d just run some flushing agent through her to try rid some salts then feed water and let her finish up on water only

What makes you think I have a lockout? I had thrips and a potassium def. That caused the leaves to dry up like they did. I have been using water only ph 6.5 for the last 2 weeks. She is in soil.

Because it’s been going 15 weeks and still mostly clear trichomes. Any time that happened to me in the past, i had a lockout. They mature extremely slow/stunt during a lockout. Soil is the worst for lockouts. Since moving to coco I never really get lockouts and they’re down in 12wk tops. Plants that size should usually finish around 9-10wkz I reckon. I have 4-5ft girls finish in 12 in 16L pots. I’d feed enough plain water with ph range of 6ish and check your run off with a good EC meter. If the EC is high you know you have too much salts in there.

Thanks for explaining. Im still learning. I have been running off into the sink for 2 weeks now.

But…. Isn’t flushing the same results as locking out? I mean they are both preventing nutrients from getting to the plant and that is done by most growers before harvest.

Next run I will have a meter to check EC and PPM.

I’m not referring to properly flushing your plant aka letting it die off. A flushing agent can be used once in 24hr and it dissolves salts in your medium bro. So it may help getting out a lockout. Lockout just means too much nutrients have accumulated inside the medium which then turns to nitrogen and starts locking out potassium and other things like calcium And magnesium. The same thing can Be done with just feeding water to run off but you don’t wanna be doing that a lot with soil since soil Holds so much water

Thanks, i will look up some flushing agents.

What would you say about this plant? It is the strain, planted same time, exact same feeding and watering, it doesn’t seem to have the leave issues.
