Day 70 Flower Day 35:

Time for the weekly update. I have been following the same pattern of letting the nutrients drop from about 1200 PPMs to 700 PPMs minus the starting water of ~140 PPMs over three days before topping the nutrients back up to 1200 PPMs. This seems to keep the runoff ~2000 PPMs and no noticeable nutrient burn. The nutrient schedule adds Shooting Powder this week and the amount in the chart is in grams since it is a dry product. Here are the amounts for 6.1 gallons in ml.:

It is hard to get a good perspective on the size of the plants through the door as to the size of the plants and buds. The tallest plant is about 40" and the longest bud is about 18". They are still stacking and the frost is coming.

Really looks awesome! So healthy green, and those buds looks perfect. You have to be pretty satisfied with how things are going.

I love it when a plan comes together .

 

[Journey Man]

Yeah, i dont see it could go much better. Very impressive!

I think the INB grow is running a week to ten days ahead of schedule. This may be due to the 730 nm red light I used at flip as it is purported to shorten the ripening time. It also may be partly due to indoor growing as well as normal variation. Any how I think I may be a week to 10 days from harvest.

The amber trichomes on the edge of the leaf I attribute to the AgroMax Pure UV lamp:

The pistols are beginning to dry:

And the trichomes on the buds are getting milky:

So I will be keeping a close eye on the ripeness from now on.

This grow has gone really, really fast. Buds and trics looks very nice!

It is really hard to compare my time to other grow journal because people do not mark the time well or consistently. Learn a lesson from this "Day 1 is the day that the first true leaves are visible" "Flower Day 1 is the day you flip the lights or when the flowers begin on an auto". Report these days until harvest and mark the last day. Then this information will be useful to future growers.

Anyhow I think I will be looking at ~ 50 days flower - not super fast.

It has felt as the time has gone very fast, it could be that i missed your journal for a month in the beginning. Normally i like to call day 1 the day after they have come up, as it then have gone 24 hours since they got up from soil/coco.

Are you trimming your buds by hand?
Im looking for a bud-trimmer that will just trim the leafs without "eating" any of the buds, tried google but with no luck.

Absolutly by hand. I have witnessed the results of several trimming machines at my nearby hydro shop and they are shite. Hey if you have 50 pounds then hire a roving crew to trim them for you. F' those machines. I can trim 3 pounds of good nugs in two days by myself.

 

[Journey Man]

I hear you. It gets the best nugs trimming by hand, dont think any machine beats a mans(or a woman) touch of the hand, and rye for details.
The thing is with a hired staff... the only staff i trust is me. I burned my fingers so many times by trusting people. I just have to accept it then, i guess there is a luxulary-problem i created.
