4x Ethiopian (ACE Seeds, reg.) SCROG - LED 250W - 90 x 90cm (Grow report)

Here is a close up from the trichomes. They look milky for sure, could be a bit more reddish, but I am fine with it, as I want it to be uplifting. The photo is not as clear as it is on the magnifier function from my iPhone.

Those buds are dead and brown. Hopefully not rotten. Just chop, don't scope the trichomes.

To me they rather look purple. They already started to look purple earlier. Tomorrow night will be the chopping date.

@goingrey This is what I mean. They already had some light damage, so it might look dead to you in combination with the purple. But I don't think they are dead. They still feel really wet and I can't squeesh anything (I only had bud rot once outdoor, indoor never, but I know that you can easily squeeze the bud then).

Yea looks much better in that shot but still iffy in some spots. Probably a good idea to harvest tomorrow.

I think so too. And I gave them plain water for almost four weeks now, and the last 2.5 weeks, they had a really low EC. I did this to force the plant to finish, so I kinda already dictated the chopping day anyway. #1 can still stand for some days, but you will see tomorrow when I do an update about all plants.

Weed that's so depleted of nutes can be a super smooth smoke but it's a risky road to take.

I wanted to chop it down after 13 weeks anyway (especially since I went down to 10 / 14 eventually) and sativa landraces are known for being able to need little nutrients, so I went for it.
But just to clarify they had an EC lower than 1.0 only the last 1.5 weeks, as I didn't flush and let them use the remaining salts in the coco.

We will see how the result is soon. But considering they were like 2 months way too close to the light, it doesn't look too bad for the circumstances.

Good luck.
Hope, they are fine.

I have chopped down the two back plants and getting them through the SCROG net was a pain in the ass.
I managed to break the net, but the remaining two plants are still quite straight. I will chop down #1 on Monday for sure and then I will tie down #7 for the last two weeks.
I will post photos after I am done with trimming and sleeping.

Looking good. Growing pure sativas indoors is not easy. I'm interested in the effect of these. Always been interested in Ethiopian and it's still on my wishlist.

Flowering Day 94 (yesterday) - before chopping down:

Here is the video of the plants before the chop down.
On Monday I will post the rest, as I am still tired from the trimming yesterday night and this afternoon.

This is plant #4 - some photos are with and some without flashlight.
I also have a video, but I will upload it later. Plant #9 will come in a bit, too and then I will upload the fresh trimmed buds hanging.

Hello, Mr Tentacle!

 

[endgegner]

This is Ethiopian #9 with and without flash. It is quite similar to #4 but got some seeds in it while #4 didn't have any.
