How much til harvest?

[dalmatia 26]

I already told about my first grow, but here are some main facts to make it easier

medium coco/perlit

ferts:

1. clone: root booster, brown liquid 4-12-5 with humic acid and microelectronics

2. Organic fertilizer, liquid which contains beneficial bacteria which in proces of fermentation produces auxin (indol 3 acetic acid) - this is mainly used in cloning/veg period but I add it during flower as well but in much lower dosage per water volume

3. 12-4-3 liquid + Microelements

both 3 above ferts are used n veg

flower:

4. crystal 20:20:20 + Micro Elements for first 3 weeks flower

5. crystal 4:10:40 + Microelements

6. crystal 4:40:10 + Mcroelements + 8% Sulfur

above two are combined to gradually make PK boost starting from week 4 into flower

all above 3 ferts are including Micro elements including Mg, but I notice absence of Ca (they probably rely on high Ca content in tap water) Since there is no CalMag available in mt coutry what alternative I have, will crushing some chalk (Calcium carbonate) replenish Ca deficiency ?

If you think it might ne important I could post all the labels

I do my best to ph 5,8 nut reality is that it varies from 5,5 to 6,2

Now this is the bud and I'm wondering how much until harvest, today is 61st day of 12/12

What strain or cross is this? Knowing what the genetics in the plant are can help in determining the flowering time. Looks sativa leaning... you're at 9 weeks now and most sat dom plants can go much longer than that before they're ready.

 

By looks alone, I'd say you're a couple weeks or so away yet. There's still quite a few white pistils that should get color in the next week or so and check the color of the trichomes for an indication of ripeness.

 

Nice looking cola and very nice trichome production.

Thank you. It is G13 Haze ,sorry I put a tag but didn't mention it in text

[DesertGrown 3,093]

Apologies dalmatia, I didn't notice the tag.

 

Now this is the bud and I'm wondering how much until harvest, today is 61st day of 12/12

 

Is this 61 days of actual flowering or 61 days of straight 12/12? It usually takes 10-14 days for a plant to start flowering on a 12/12 schedule... this only matters if you're counting actual flowering weeks. I start counting the day flowering begins... not when I put it in the flowering room.

 

Regardless, a G13 haze seems to normally go 70-80 days flower. If you're at 61 days flower, then you shouldn't have that long to go... if you're at 61 days of 12/12, then you still have a ways to go before she'll be done.

thanx, I count time since they get into flower room, so 61 days since 12/12 HPS, they are pre vegged for quite a while, under 6x28w T5 and buds started forming few days after transfer to flower room

You got some time to go dal, would bet at least another 2 weeks.

 

Going by trichome opacity is the real way to tell ripeness, grab yourself a 420 Scope or like it, check the top, middle and bottom of the plant in several random spots and look at the trichomes.

 

Peak ripeness is considered as close to 100% cloudy or milky looking trichomes as you can get a plant. Amber coloured trichomes are a sign of oxidization which is a sign of past ripeness.

To my understanding you should start flowering time when induced to 12 /12 period. So day 1 of flip, the actual times set forth from the breeders are estimates should be pretty close in around that time ... nutrients , lights , environment, play a huge roll also i have had 65 day strains finish @ 53 days from flip and also @ 76 days

So again like Rev says a person should star looking at trichs week before due date ....

i personally like less cough lock so usually works out to 10- 20 percent amber when i call it done for many growers its more amber..

Again up to how you like the final product to be ,,
