Been a while since I checked in!
1st grow
I have some Wedding Crasher strain plants 51 days into flower.
Feeding Jacks 321 with flower fuel
Pro mix HP soil
4x4 tent
HLG 600r spec. Just cranked to 100% yesterday
Starting to plan for harvest. This being my first grow I’m still learning on what to look for as I go. Im thinking I have 2-4 weeks left before I chop them down. The hairs are just now all starting to turn orange. Growing and Smelling stronger everyday.
Any tips and advice on how to finish correctly is greatly appreciated! I’m definitely still a rookie and pretty much winging it as I go
This is the time for patience. The book says you have a week or so. You need to watch your trichomes. Mostly cloudy is good. If you plan to flush your plants now’s a good time to start.
I can’t help you with flushing. I only use Happy Frog, Alaska fish emulsion and Block Kow. I usually feed every month and forego feeding in the last weeks. I don’t flush per se.
Flushing will give you yellow leafs, negatively effect your bag appeal and reduce your yeilds.
It will gain you… Nothing, you can try it but 48 darkness, chopping in the dark or within 2min of lights on as well a good dry and good cure is more important than any flush.
Many just taper down food or only give water but don’t really flush.
My last 2 weeks i cut back to just under full dose I also use jacks 321 I do NOT flush at all I do not believe in flushing I want my plant as healthy and using up nutes as much as she wants if anything I wont feed if its like 3 or 4 days sense the last feed before being chopped id focuse on making sure you stay on top of thricomb color if anything they only thing I do in my last couple week is drop night time temps by 10 to 15 degrees just to get some nice fall colors if that strain dosnt have it in her to begin with
Absolutely not true ive ran grows and flushed one plant and haven’t the other plant and impo I feel the plant that didn’t get flushed has better terpenes in the end of my dry and cure buds also seem a bit denser as well imo
Just over a year ago there was actually a trial done by a cannabis company, note that someone with a PhD led the trial and it was on a larger scale then any hobby growers ever going to do.
SUMMARY, don’t flush taste test says so.
@LiesGrows well your right because here is the proof lol
Lmao yes I’ve read this a time or 2 after my own personal experiences haha but definitely agree about not flushing but in the end it comes down to preference my pops is a old head and been growing over 30 years I had him try a GG girl I grew and was blow away by the terps then also told him there was no flush he didn’t believe me lol alot believe in it but then you have some like us that don’t lol

The gorilla cookies is a week from sprout today but it’s looking kind of strange. Looks like it has 3 leaves coming in and it’s growing really slow. I had to plant a week behind the rest because the first seed didn’t make it due to an error on my part
Will the plant make it or should I count my losses now?
I picked this strain up in Michigan (wedding crasher) the pheno my seeds came from was fire, some of the best weed I’ve ever smoked. Forget how to drive your own car, manual transmission, type of buzz. Sit through a red, green and red light again type of thing. Anyway, I have a rule with this strain, I never cut it before 70 days of flower. Some people might frown at this, but this isn’t an indica, I personally have never had one finish before 70 days. Currently have one I want to cut, but I’m about 3 days from the 70 day mark so I will wait. Mine ALWAYS turn purple and after dry and cure these should be some of the most dense buds you’ve ever seen. I’ve also used different fertilizers and found my latest has been hands down the best. I’ve used vegamatrix. The whole line. Works great, but it’s expensive. I’ve used jacks, not a fan. I’ve used a liquid fert combo I found at Lowe’s I forget the name, that stuff worked great. However, I get sick of spending money on bottles of nutes so I started looking into living soils. What I ended up doing was mixing my soils myself, trying to mimic a living soil and thus far I’m at about 95% water only. I have to, at times take corrective measure and feed certain plants lightly, but this I use Dr Earth. I make a tea. Dr earth is a great cheap fert for cannabis.
Anyway, with my wedding crasher I never harvest before 70 days. Mine are always purple and these should be insanely dense buds.
