New Grower My First Grow - x4 Dedoverde Haze 400w HID
- Thread starter Skurge
- Start date
Ended up starting the flush on day 60. Looking back now, another few feedings probably would have been ideal. I'm still having trouble seeing the trichs clearly with my 40x loupe, but just from looking at them I can tell that the smallest girl is far more mature than the others. Almost all of her pistils have changed color and receded, and the calyxes are very, very swollen. I just find it odd that none of her leaves have started to yellow yet. Also, it seems like none of them have put on much weight in the past 5-7 days. The only thing that concerns me is the pistils on the two medium sized plants are still about 60% white and sticking straight out, but I pretty much need to harvest them all around the same time. Hopefully a lot happens over the next 10-12 days.
Day 63
So, today is day 4 of flush, concerned that maybe I started a bit early, but I don't really see how these colas could get any fatter (they haven't really put on any size in the past week or so). I'm actually a bit concerned, because some of the secondary growth on the smallest lady is so fat that it's growing into the main cola, but I don't see any signs of bud rot. None of the leaves have really started to yellow (although it looks that way in some of the pics, it's just the HPS reflecting off of them). The biggest plant (back left) has actually had a few lower sets wither and die off, but it's the only one.
The smallest lady looks to me like she'll be ready really soon (if she isn't already). Pretty much all of her pistils have changed color and receded, had trouble finding any that were still white and sticking out. Can't seem to get a good look at the trichs with my 40x loupe, if I had to guess I'd say they still appear mostly clear which is odd.
Pics today aren't too great, was feeling lazy so I just took some shots of them while still in the tent.
Another 10-12 days and they're getting chopped, even if it is a bit early, I'm pretty sure they'll still give me some good smoke, and I really don't see how they could pack on much more weight.
Yeah man, t
Yeah it is haha, but the anticipation is killing me. Might clip a popcorn nug in a few days and quick dry for the sake of maintaining my sanity.

Looking awesome man! I'll tell ya, after ingrew that strain it made me a little less excited about everything else I've grown since. It's hard to top results like you get from Dedoverde Haze. Can't wait to see what you yield after drying,
Ended up taking a sample today! More about that in a bit.
Still wondering what the best method of quick drying is, or if I should just do a normal 4-6 day dry on it.
Thanks coastal, after weighing the sample I took today, I'm thinking the smallest girl alone is going to yield around 2-3 Oz. Could be wrong, just a rough estimate.
I'm going with Heavyweights 2 Fast 2 Vast next time around, which is supposed to be one hell of a yielder. My beans actually just arrived yesterday, only took 6 total business days to arrive (ordered from Herbies autoflower site), which I thought was pretty impressive. Going to run 2 of them in 5 gal Air Pots, which I think will work better than x4 3 Gal in a 2x4 space.
Day 65
Day 6 of Flush
Finally broke down and took a sample off of what I think is the most mature plant, so I decided to do another small update.
Removed one entire node from the upper-middle area of the plant (just beneath the main cola). I did it before watering (so the soil was somewhat dry), and after trimming it weighs in at 12.2g wet.
Even if it turns out to be 3-4g dry, that means just those 2 nodes are going to produce around 1/4 of prime buds
A part of me is wishing that I was more patient and pushed feed for a few more days, but something is telling me that they really wouldn't have packed on much more weight, if any.
As it's looking now, thinking I'll come pretty close to 1g/watt, possibly more.
The buds smell super fruity, if I were looking for something to compare it too, I'd say the smell is pretty similar to that of Fruit Loops cereal lol. Made the mistake of breaking that bud down without gloves, and felt like spider-man afterwards.
Any advice on how I should quick dry these nugs? I'm just going to quick dry a couple to sample, and let the rest sit in a paper bag for a few days.
Been flushing for 6 days and none of the leaves have really started to yellow, is this normal?
In these pics, you can see the node that was removed!
This is the same node on the opposite side
