Auto first bottom watering
Auto first bottom watering
I decided to water the amnesia regardless, but need to keep an eye on her if the rainy days continue and the soil takes to long to dry
First bottom watering for her
Little sunburn by the new lights
My skunk got a beautifull green
Peace

Olders
Olders
My older girls are going good, the younger one on the left is a bit fat everyday
Left one main cannopy
Right one main cannopy
Both of them show a tiny bit of frostyness in some buds but nothing compared to the amnesia.
Also since is my first grow i compared the trichs with my loupe, the amnesia ones are clear, the ones of my older girls that have been flowering for a bit more time are more milky
Today is watering day for them, double the nutes like the last watering, im wonder when i should start to flush them, i need to keep an eye on them since how dont know how much time they still have to go

I always looked for some a lot of amber trichomes. What you want is to harvest when you have a large percentage of cloudy trichomes. Clear is too early.
A lot depends on strain and phenotype. Some will keep throwing new flowers and clear trichomes for extended time. Others will degrade quickly and you start seeing stalks without trichome heads. At this stage is when having a lens or keen eye is crucial.
I always looked at the scale being
Cloudy Sativa (giggles, euphoria, giddyness)
to
Amber Indica (waking up on the couch with half a joint in your hand)
Depending on strain and harvest time is where you fall. Not sure how the led will affect that I hear there isn't any amber. Maybe PCbuds has some hints for us led newbs.
Edit: From experience I would say 60 days of flower is a "quick" finishing plant. 120 days is "long". Most of mine fell between 70 and 80 days.

They are looking great Sampas! Awesome job. You must be stoked to see them frosting up 
Also normal to start losing some leaves, & getting some fall colors, as the plants get to the end of their cycle. The increased frostiness and the first pistils starting to turn orange is just the start - they have a little while to go yet...

^^^ What he said.
You need to see a lot more orange hairs.
Now is when she really starts packing on the resin.
Don't cut her too soon. Let her go as long as you can stand.
Take off a bud or two for a sample if you have to, but you should even wait to do that.

Thanks caio & buds
I know about the milky amber trichs plus the brown pistils the thig is, biobizz recomends to flush them 2 weeks prior to harvest, for that beautifull finish where she eats herseld up.
I know its strain dependent the time they take to flower but i guess there is some signs that they shows to us, some details that can tell us how much time they got left even if we dont know the strains?
Wich signs you guys see, what details could help me see that they are in yheir last 2 weeks? In that stage when all the trichs are milky and start to amber?

Also, i work as a waiter in a coffe and i work with my tray one my right hand only, always with just one hand like i should be and cause of it i aquired an ability that i can feel very precisely where the wheight is for example, in my blue amnesia, i feel the weight of her 6.5l pot more in the middle than on all togheter if you understand what i trying to say.
The thing is, i try to see how much water they need by the wheight of the pot, now, do you guys only water when the pot i light? I ask because i see a lot of people that water them a lot of water, some every day and sometimes 2 times at a day and a lot of water and im just giving them 1.5l of water 2 days at a time, should i give them more?im afraid of drowning them but also im not 100% certain that they are getting the ammount of water they need, they dont look droppy or anything bad, but i want to know if i can do it better..keep in mind the pot is only 6.5l
Peace

I think what you're doing is fine.
Just keep weighing the plant.
You may need to water every day as the plants get older and thirstier.
My plant is drinking 3 liters a day now.
You've seen no signs of over or underwatering, but if it gets light by the end of the day, you may need to water daily or every day and a half.

Thanks both of you, but buds you grow in coco wich is a bit differentIf you are using peat now in flowering is better to water when she is not totaly dry....in flowering she drink a lot and can tollearate more water.
In pure coco you can water her every 2 hours because you can't overwater.
^^^i cant stop laught at it lol
Biobizz say that their soil is peat, so....i added perlite to the mix, around 15% if i recall it right.
Today is watering day for her, i feel some height but not overwhelming, also all of the roots that i see from her on the side holes and bottom of the pot are all white so i guess im going good.
Gona bottom water her today also like the last time to see if she drink more or not, i always give them 2 liters of water, and see what they drink and how much the soil absorbs and how much time it takes to absorb it, i guess is a good way to see how much the amnesia is drinking.
Today and yesterday the rh was always on the 40~45 and i noticed a little diference from the start of the day until now, i dont care how low the rh is right now, i want a proper vpd but, even if my exctrat fan works good and pushes a lot of hair, i dont have any fan circulating the air inside the cab so i prefer the rh lower now, as its should be.
Btw caio my next grow will be a 15l aeropot. How many liters of water should i expect a pot of that size with the same soil and its plant to consume? Double what im giving now? Just to get a clue to what to expect
