Indoor SS Blue Himalaya coco grow journal

Today's update. I trimmed off some of the fan leaves hoping to allow light a bit deeper to get some of the popcorn. Tomorrow will be her last feed and then the final flush begins. I am thinking of giving her a week long flush then chopping her down. I am very excited to see what she yields. This has been my most productive grow to date.

Aye bud, you've done well here. And if it smokes as good as it smells should be a right treat.


You know I believe flushing is just starving them though? @pop22 has a cracking thread on busting that myth. They won't use much nutes at the end but I'd rather keep them happy until the very end than risk stressing them.

Nice job! Curious how much it will yield also. I'm a soil guy myself but wondering what size pots they are?

@KushNFT Thanks for the kind words! I have been reading a bunch about the "myth" of flushing and everyday I go back and forth deciding to do it or not. I will see if I can find the @pop22 myth busting thread.
@jambon she has been growing in a 6" round pot. I would guess it is less than a gallon overall.

If you don't try it you'll never know

My BB is right fussy about his green and thinks it should be flushed for a fortnight so i just tell him that's what I do. Anyway, a week or two back I gave him a call and he was sitting out back having a spliff and coughing his head off so I went round with some of the Auto Gorilla OG I grew and he didn't cough at all whilst having a spliff of that.

It seems over night one of the tops has exploded with some new growth. This random bud looks like it swelled up twice as fat and is now throwing out a bunch of new white hairs. I was waiting for some more amber trichs and she is now 10 weeks old. Is this new growth a sign that it is time for the chop or should I let her go another week or 2?

This is the bud, I am worried this could be the beginning of foxtailing.

 

[KushNFT]

Just a wee bit foxtailing bud.....low humidity near the light?

 

[BigD1128]

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. There has been a bit of a warm streak around here this weekend and I think things got a bit warmer in the cabinet overnight

The time is almost here to chop her down. I am noticing a nice mix of clear, cloudy and amber trichs. If time allows I will do it tomorrow but most likely Friday will be her last day. I want to thank everyone that has been stopping by this journal for all of your help. It was a fun ride! I will post some harvest pics and then some final dry pics as well.
