Bagseed started outside, now under lights, macro pics!

Alright.. been a few more days.. I got some more pics, I guess some of the trichs are starting to look a bit cloudy.. man this thing is taking forever!

Here's the part where I talked about that I pinched the leaf and the bud above died.





And the black spots on the leaf, what are these?





And a few more pics...

Hey shafto,

That is an interesting way to start and finish a plant. Nice job so far.

I think you and I have the same deficiency goin on.


The good news about having this type of deficiency, is that your plants are starting to finish. So I say you got three maybe four weeks at most left. Although it could be two weeks, you just halfta watchem.
She will tell you when she is close. That is when I give her one big flush. 1 gal pot= 2gal flush. Then when that dries out, give her some molasses and water 1 tbls/gal H2O. I use unsulphured gradmas brand, but black strap briar brand is prob the best!

Actually you could start feeding it molasses w/ your feedings right away, until she is done.

Just make sure that you flush(1gal pot=2 gal water) one time 7-10 days before you chop. And then just one or two more doses of plain water or molasses/water after you flush.

GOOD LUCK,
DRKN_MNKY420

FYI: almost forgot to mention that the yellowing or other color changes along w/ dying leaves is her way of saying I am almost done. This happens because the plant is starting to demand more nitrogen and other micro nutes, which it starts to take from its backup supply in the fan leaves. This is a good thing!

Thanks DRKN

I pour double the volume of the pot through it all at once?

I just can't believe it's not totally cloudy and going amber yet.. this thing has now been flowering for almost 90 days.

 

[DRKN_MNKY420]

Well, not exactly all at once. You dont want the water or soil to go over the top of the pot. You want to similate a very hard rain, not a flood!. LOL! All the water should come out the bottom, not over the edge if ya get what I mean.

As far as trich colors go, it will change in a hurry, if it is supposed to. Most of the fan leaves will probably be dying or dead at this point. Your plant must have some Sativa genes in it, because that kinda flowering time is usually only seen in sativas.

FYI: If indeed you have a sativa plant, you may never see amber colored triches. I let my Hot Pink Sativa go for 13 weeks and I never seen any amber colors on her. She just lost all her fan leaves and looked as if I should chop her. So I did. You may only see a 50/50 ratio of clear/cloudy w/ a sativa.

My Hot Pink Sativa, incase you didn't look at my thread yet!

 

[who dat is]

MMMMMMM pretty plants.

 

[Shafto]

Thanks.. that helps.. beautiful pink pistols on your sativa there.

I think it must be quite sativa, it's very tall and lanky too... I can't wait to try it out, don't usually get much sativa as I buy my bud, and not many people grow sativa for profit as it takes too long... though I did get the seed from a bag of bud I got.

Now I'm hooked though, it's too bad my job makes me leave town too much to keep something perpetual going, but I should start being able to get short crops off in between going away here in a little cab... after this how can I justify paying any more? plus the quality on this guy.. just from some fluoros.. and the fun! I must grow now.

flush buzzed says

 

[Shafto]

I flushed today.. almost all the leaves are yellow now.. and although there is still new growth and white hairs on the parts of the buds only inches from the lights.. all the other hairs are red..

Some cloudy trichs.. I can't see any amber.. this will be a good heady high I'm sure... but I just can't leave it any longer, it doesn't want to go... it's soaked now from the flush, I hope I don't rot the roots or something.. I'll have 1 more water between now and 10 days I'll give it some molasses for that final watering and then let it dry a little before the chop chop, I may leave the smaller buds another few days to see if they do anything once the big guys are gone.

Damn this thing smells good.

 

[DRKN_MNKY420]

Congrats Shafto,

Don't worry bout the water, as long as it drained well, the plant will LOVE it!

MAKE SURE YOU LET IT DRY OUT GOOD BEFORE ADDING MORE AND YOU WONT HAVE ROOT PROBS!

So it sounds like you might have 12-14 days left. Just be patient my friend and she will swell up nice over the next two weeks for ya.

Ok.. another update.. I chopped her down and clipped up the buds with much care. I'm very pleased, I think I may have around 50g by the looks of it, we'll see when it's dry.. I've also got a little try of popcorn buds to make some BHO with.

I think I figured out how I got a few random buds dying.. where I pinched off leaves it was too close to the stalk, and I had no fan on the plant.. what seemed to happen was the little bleeding the plant did never dried up because there wasn't a fan, and I couldn't tell at first, but now I see a tiny bit of mildew.. thankfully there's nothing of the sort on any buds, just 2 localized areas where these stems were killed.. it was not evident for a while though that it was mildew. It was in a big open space.. and the fan I had died after a while.. I know now I should have got another one, won't make that mistake again.

This stuff smells AMAZING.. the sweetest smelling bud I've ever come across.. just invades your nose with succulent pear, pineapple and a mango finish. There are still no amber trichs.. about 90% cloudy 10% clear.. @ over 120 days of flower... this is gonna be one hell of a sativa...

As soon as it's dry I'll give a preliminary smoke/vape report before curing.... and about that.. what's the best way? I've heard just in jars sealed up and burp them once a day for an hour or so? do this for 3 weeks? What will I notice? just a lot more flavour? ...I'm down for the wait doing it right... I'll obviously dip on a small bud or 2 though... The scissor hash was a very delicious tease.. I wanted the pure flavour of it so I quickly whipped up a little glass chillum to try it out in a fresh piece... Yum.

Ok.. on to the pics.. took my sorry first time ass 2 hours to clip these up.. hah.. but they got mad TLC.



Here's about half the bud unclipped:




All clipped up and drying:




I'll put up some more macros and such when it's all dry.
