Too hot and hard on the electric grid. Its like cooking pizza in an oven and running the AC to cool the pizza. Plus too expensive to run both. Taking a break in Summer is recommended for anyone that can.

It just takes a little amount of clay so start with small amounts until you get dialed in a friend. .

Ok yeah this i understand, I have the Luck to grow them on summer without an AC. it`s at the upper temperature limit but mostly under 40°C/104°F.

Yeah thank for the concern, but my soil mix is based on Earth with a lot of clay. The earth is from my garden.. :cool:
But don't see clayey earth as a bad thing. If you add a few things and let them rest with "green manure". Then there is a beautiful earth, very heavy, but works great as a nutrient/water store. But also use the soil similar to the "To-Till" or rather recycling system

Thanks for reminding me I had a 16oz soda clf, I forgot I had one, and it's ice cold too. Nice to have on a Sunday. In the last photo, new foxtails are already sprouting up after taking the top off to test for mold. 😎

The way to stop these Columbian plants from continuing to make pistils is slowly starving them to death. If I kept giving a high ppm the plants would just continue to produce pistils and bust the stems.

In a 5-gallon bucket, I mix a batch of flowering nutrients keeping the ppm the same as the in flowering. Only using two 1000 ml cups of water a day I dip out 2 cups from the bucket. I put back pure water to replace the cups used. This way the ppm drops 15 to 20 ppms a day until I hit the bottom. When I hit the bottom ppm I run pure rainwater to finish.

My 5-gallon bucket stays full with the addition of new replacement water every day. I'm below 50 ppm now.

oh yeah, really the only way to finish some sativas in a reasonable amount of time. Killing the plants in a targeted manner, but sometimes I just can't do it. If then, there was too much nutrient in the earth or forgott tho take out the wick system :rolleyes::kos:

I got mixed up, I don't know what the count is but it is over 110 days of flowering. The plants are fading now and it shouldn't be much longer. I do know I flipped Jan. 28. It's almost time for me to close this thread and go on vacation from growing for a while.

It's funny, I think I'm running things in the garden but the truth is, the garden is running me and my life. It tells me what I have to do every day and I do it because I want to keep it. If I don't do what the garden wants she will get mad and leave. On the first day when I plant that seed, I'm basically marrying the garden and have a commitment from beginning to end. After every garden in the end I'm relieved and freed from commitment. I'm over 180 days into this marriage and still a little more time to go.

110 days flowering is a lot of care but soon the honeymoon holiday begins.

You can recline in a chair a bit, sip a cocktail try your beautiful ladies and then think about the next lot of beautiful ladies :biggrin:

Have you tried any of the bits you chopped yet?

Yes the plants that were harvested earlier in this grow are some of the best plants I have grown in a while. One toke weed for the most part with a lot of stinky sticky flowers.

Only pure rainwater now without anything. I did a pour-thru yesterday and tested the run-off to check the harvest timing. Down to 400 ppm in the containers and dropping more every day. Using rainwater, in the end, is better than using ClearX or any other flushing agent I have ever tried. Nothing beats a light Rainwater flush to lower the ppm. Only about 10% runoff only. I don't use 3 times the amount of water bullshit I see on the internet.

I'm getting some burgundy, gold and red tiny leaves now. The plants have a lot of foxtails. I can see the Colombian in these plants now. I did a count back from 1/28 and 112 days in flowering now. I missed the count above sorry for the miss count. Heres today a week later.

When Columbian weed hit the streets back in the 70s. I remember seeing bags of weed that were red and gold. Amazing colors with an upper kick that was scary as hell. I often wondered how they got their gold and red colors that looked so amazing. I used to think they may have broke the stem in late flowering or Sun dried their plants after harvest to turn the buds gold. Wrong in both cases.

The plant leaves turn color as they transfer stored nutrients from the leaf to the calyx out of necessity. Both seeded and without-seed plants follow this rule. When the Season changes the nutrient uptake is reduced by lower ground temperature and fewer photoperiod hours after being constant all year. The flowering nutrients the plant uses from the ground become almost immobile at the end of every year.

After the white pistil withers the calyx and minute leaves try to protect themselves by producing trichomes to protect themselves. Since the plants are not up-taking nutrients from the ground the calyx takes it from the leaves. With the turning of every leaf, the resin is coating the bract and leaf. When the leaf color has changed the bract is coated. Once the plants start this process they can’t stop and will turn every leaf before dying. Catching the plant in the best color ratio is key to harvesting these plants.
