 A quick question on trimming 
#785188 - 07/13/15 01:36 AM (8 years, 9 months ago) |
|
|
Should I wait for another three days to flush on a 10 day period
or should I just let it grow another two weeks so it can finish it's flowering
It seems like I'm stuck with this height on the plant?

how long has this plant been flowering? It looks like it needs a lot longer than 2 weeks to finish.

It lost a lot of leaves
they turned yellow
so I pulled them off
about 8 or so
sometimes it seems like everytime i check there are two dried wilted leaves
Then I find out I'm supposed to let them fall off naturally
Ooops

well the best thing to do is look up the strain u have to see what the breeder states the avarage flowering time is and then check the tricomes about a week before that time to see if its mature yet... and if not keep checking it every few days. also it depends on the type of high your looking for..

I found this super roots air pot on ebay
This thing should solve like 90% of my problems with evaporation

Judging by those wilting leaves, your plant is starving for water. Either the roots are dry in that top photo or it has stem rot on the lower stem preventing transfer of water.
Could be one of those 2 extremes. The leaves should not look like that.
Also, as stated, the buds have a long way to go...

It's hard for me to water the thing
Those leaves are under the shade leaves though and it wasn't up that long...
I just thought about water chlorination today actually
I looked up my tables and there is all sorts of disinfectant shit in there
it's no wonder my plant isn't doing that great
Bromodichloromethane 0.99 ppb
Dibromochloromethane 1.03 ppb
Dichloroacetic acid 0.69 ppb
Total haloacetic acids (HAAs) 1.43 ppb
Bromoform 0.51 ppb
Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) 4.38 ppb
Chloroform 1.99 ppb
Arsenic (total) 0.06 ppb
If I leave my water out for a night a lot of this stuff won't evaporate

You keep dodging questions and are not listening to people's suggestions.
Your plant looks like it has only been flowering for half of it's full cycle. Why would you want to flush it and trim it? Hopefully your stem isn't rotting from overwatering. Giving your plant too much love will kill it just as fast as not giving it enough.
Don't worry about the trace amounts of stuff you have in your municipal water. Evaporate the chlorine so it doesn't kill your beneficial fungi and stuff. The plant will detoxify the other crap on it's own. Just relax and take the advice people give you instead of worrying about the million things you can't control.
Now I'll ask again for the rest of the people on the thread. How long has your plant been on 12/12 and what is the suggested flowering time from the breeder for your strain? With more information, I'm sure the guys with more experience would be able to keep you on track so you can fill your jars with a lovely harvest.

I would expect to take it 10-11 weeks. They descriptions usually lowball the time to make more sales. If you still have a radio shack in your area, you can get one of those jeweler's microscopes for less than $20. Once the pistils(the white hairs)are mostly orange, check the color of the gland heads to see how much clear/cloudy/amber trichs you have. It's usually suggested to flush once you have a good amount of cloudy heads.
When I first started, I was worried about all the tiny details too. I just have to remember that it is just an ordinary plant. Once you get the basics down, you can worry about the little things to dial in your grow. I keep a detailed log that I update weekly so I will know where to make adjustments for the future. It really made a difference between my first grow and the ones after it.

jeez I almost set my house on fire with the LED lights
I had some cardboard under it and was just fanning it today
and I left it there so I went to go see how the lighting was
and there was smoke lol
I thought it meant my buds were ready for a sec lol
The infrared light had been singing the cardboard

I also got rid of that extension cord, it leaves a footprint

the electricians can come to your house and see how much electricity you've been using with a voltometer even if nothin is hooked up at the time
they also might be able to track people using during off peak hours
the authorities can alert the electric company about stuff like this because it's considered hazardous to grow indoors

Yeah but people run appliances that draw higher than a small grow anyway.

I think moonlight is pretty weak for them. not exactly sure....
Im sure they are in tune to everything in nature including moon cycles and everything but thats probably not something that would be necessarily worth replicating.
Your plants will finish up fine. Just give them time

Here' she is
got about 10 days left in her
I cut about 9 grams off the top in this picture, to keep it from auto burning.
They still look pretty white but if you inspect them they're at the perfect period during thc peaking

I cut off the tops of two cola's because they were the closest to the light
and i want the rest of the plant to get more light
so that the spindles you see coming out turn from white to amber
when about 10% of them are amber there's a lot of thc there

The pics aren't working, but by white spindles do you mean the underdeveloped pistils? Sounds to me like you just ruined your best buds on that plant. You need to go buy a handheld microscope and look at the trichomes. 10% amber pistils sounds like you are way too early.

Doesn't matter how long it has been flowering. What matters is how long it actually has left. I have no idea how that plant hasn't hermed out or died on you man. 
This is what you need to be looking at. Not the hairs on the bud. The hairs can give you an estimation, but you aren't gauging those properly either. If you are in that much of a hurry, just chop the whole thing already because it isn't going to get any better with the way you are fucking with it. You should buy a book. Not trying to bust your balls, but this thread is painful to read.

once you harvest doesn't the top half of the plant become useless?
or do you think I should re-veg it inside and try again rather then move on

Oh so you want to harvest then re-veg the plant afterward? Well, you will probably need to keep it inside in order for it to get enough light to start vegging again (depending on where you live I guess). And be careful not to overwater it because it will be using a lot less.

You can harvest buds from a plant when its finished, and then put back into veg and grow new buds on it??! I'm confused.. I've really only grown outdoors and thought once a plant buds thats that. Can someone clear this up?

After flowering if you leave all the lower branches there with the budsites the plant will feed off the budsites and re-veg.
you re-pot the plant with about half of the root growth
then you feed it nitrogen or vegitative fertilize mostly and keep it lit for 14 hours and it'll reveg
then a couple months later it will flower again when you change the light to 12 hours

Cool I've never heard of anyone doing this.. Does it produce a substantial second harvest or just a small amount? Personally I'd probably just start new seeds or clones bc it seems like I'd get a better harvest for time and resources though

Yeah. its like one third and not worth it compared to growing a clone out or new plant.
The main stems get hard and woody
