Super Silver Haze x Northern Lights x Super Hash Plant (Week 10 of Flower) - Harvest Time?

Hey Horticulture Fans!

So here we are, approaching week 11 of the flowering period and we're a bit stumped on whether these plants are ready to be harvested.

We have been judging the maturity of the marijuana plants by trichome coloration. And unfortunately the plants in our grow room have very little amber coloring. Many of the main colas are still clear to cloudy.

The problem is that at week 10-11 we're between 7-14 days minimum over the breeders forecasted flower time for the indica. Which are said to be between 7 and 9 weeks.

That being said we welcome any input on the following photos.

The SSH (Super Silver Haze), is smelling actually like compost or freshly turned soil. These plants don't smell like mature pot or freshly cut marijuana. They smell very different from the indica in the grow room. However if you get the resin on your glove or scissors it smells very sweet and citrus. That had us very concerned of Bud rot.

Bud rot - is a type of mold that commonly attacks the flowering sites or buds of your plant. The mold will start near or on the stem of the plant inside the bud and spreads out destroying the bud from the inside out. It can be difficult to catch this infection at the start. So when you realize you have a problem - usually by seeing the spores on the sugar leaf - the entire cola could be lost. 

The plants [at this time] do not show any sign of mold, but the leaves have been yellowing for weeks. This is something we have not been able to control for most of the flowering cycle. Although plant leaves can turn from a health green to a less desirable yellow-green as the plant approaches the harvest time. We probably could have done better to maintain the overall health of the sativa through the flower period.

Mainly we should not have transplanted these girls from a one gallon to a five gallon plant so late in the flower cycle.

The colas have a lot of white pistils and clear trichomes. Also SSH like most Haze strains is said to require 10-12 weeks of flowering before harvest. So hopefully these girls are going to be ready in the next 14 days.

Northern Lights Feminized Plant (Week 8 of Flower / Week 19 from seed)

We just arrived at week 8 of flowering for this solitary Northern Light plant. She was part of a package of feminized seeds, but went hermie about 5 weeks into the flowering cycle.

We're not sure if she is ready to chop. What do you think? Leave a comment below!!!

Day 60 - Marijuana Plant Training Begins (super cropping & FIMing)

Day 60 - Marijuana Plant Training Begins (super cropping & FIMing)

The plants are not bushing out as much as we had hoped they would naturally do.  So today ~ 60 days into the vegetative stage, the indica were super cropped and the sativa were FIMed.

The outer four larger smart pots are the Indica's which were super cropped, and the stem was kept in place with a twisty tie and binder clip.

The inner row of smaller smart pots are the Sativa and were FIMed rather than just topped.

Possible sick plant issues: These plants were all off nutrients for about a week. We are going to bring them back into a vegetative friendly nutrient feed at the next watering cycle.  We are hoping that with food these plants will regain their darker green color.

As a safety precaution the 600 watt light was also raised slightly today.

Day 31 - Finally some signs of Greener futures

Day 31 - Finally some signs of Green!!!

So we had a little luck in the past 5 days.  What did we learn.

Coco is an inert medium.  Growing in coco means you are going to be introducing nutrients on a regular schedule.  That is something we did not do for the first 25 days.

In 6 days we have seen almost all 7 of the seedlings double in size.  Many have developed at least one new node in that time.  Finally seeing a little stretching too.

Currently we are feeding 1/4 strength of 5-5-5 fertilizer.  3 Fert feeds and then 1 pure water to prevent any nutrient lock.  Drip to waste style watering.  Lights are still 18/6 (~ 108 Watts of uncapped LED bulbs).

To prevent potential stretching.  The distance between the light and the plants is now ~20 inches.  It was previously around ~24 inches.

Feels pretty good to know that we are slowly getting out of the seedling phase of the grow.  And to have only lost 1 seedling along the way to this point.

Here is are the latest photos of the ladies:
