Honestly the “problem plant” is doing really well. All of the bud sites have hella trichomes already and she’s really thick/sticky. The other 2 plants are doing well too but much taller. The last pic is the smaller problem plant. All 3 of my plants that aren’t in full flower are at 10 weeks (68 days)

Glad to hear she’s gotten better! Always satisfying when you can turn em around.
All three look healthy to me. They’re early in flower so I would worry about a lack of trichromes. I expect they’ll show up over the next two weeks.
What are the ones you got going that are almost done? They look thick and frosty, well done! 
That is a Gorilla Cookiez auto at 16 weeks, week 10 of flower. Just waiting for the trichomes to be more cloudy before chopping her. I have a bowl trimmer and also a hanging net, I’m wondering if I should wet trim or dry trim… I’m leaning more towards dry trimming with the bowl trimmer? What would you suggest? I know there are reasons for both
Really? Her leaves definitely yeah but I’ve been steady watching trichomes every day. Today was the first day where I didn’t see a crazy amount of clear ones. What makes you say is fading? Should I chop asap?

How long in flower Grow Bro? Buds are super dense looking and all the pistils have receded with a lot of leaf fade. Do you have any close up bud shots

That’s 10 weeks in flower. I guesstimate 10-12 weeks when I start out and never follow the breeders seed to harvest timelines. Nice dense looking buds Growmie! I’ll often take a sample bud to check the buzz

Thanks bro, I know I’m chopping really really soon. Here are a couple spots for example I’m talking about though with the clear trichomes. And one bud pic for you

Waiting on those clear to go milky shouldn’t take more than 3-4 days Grow Brow, nicely done my friend

I’m on week 7 of flower currently and after this grow I was interested in looking into living soil. Any recommendations for a complete noob?
I just harvested my first grow around day 80 of flower (I start counting it as flower once I see pistils) the entire auto took 18 weeks seed to harvest. Gorilla Cookiez Auto. By the end of my harvest literally all of my leaves were dried up. I’m hanging now. But yeah I thought it was weird I didn’t have any loose alive leaves. Hopefully it turns out well! I’d been watching the trichomes the entire time and they really just weren’t ready until recently IMO. I also washed my buds to remove some neem oil I used earlier in the grow. Now they’re hang drying around 50% RH/66 degrees. Ill get you guys some pictures once curing begins @GardenDan @4204life @OGIncognito !
Also wtf is up with people who say they water their plants in flower like once a day or once every other day? I literally water my plants once a week sometimes longer. Wouldn’t watering your plants so often cause root rot/mold/overwatering issues?

I think that would only apply to ones who use coco. I grow in soil in 2 to 3 gallon bags. I water about every 3rd day or so. I flower with a hps, not sure how much hotter it is than leds.
Congrats on the harvest!!!

Do you only flower with hps? And just do veg with led? What makes you do this?

I bought some cheap leds from amazon that work good for veg. They were supposed to be 1000w. Kinda doubt it after being on here. I veg in a 2x2. Flower in a 3x3. Sometimes I will veg them under the hps light for a couple weeks. Depends how I time my grows. Bought the hps beacause I was on a budget when I started and it was only $130.00. Been looking into upgrading to led soon. Trying to figure out what light to get. Caught between the mars and spider farmer. Getting mixed opinions on the mars.

I fell off for a while. Now I’m back!
For a beginner, I think you’re likely best to get a high quality pre-made living soil, example would be build a soil.
Buy good organic dry amendments, such as Gaia Green, which are easy to use for fertilizer as a top dress. Add in some worm castings when you top dress as well, giving both nutrients and good microbes. Actual worms in the soil is great too - buy some or just grab em when it rains, if you can.
Use the biggest size pot that you can, living soil is much easier and is meant for big soil volumes. I’ve seen debates about minimum size, around 15 gallons is what I’ve seen most common. I’m not sure there’s any good scientific research on the minimum size. You can go smaller, it’s just harder and easy to mess up.
How’s the dry and cure going? Those plants look. Great that you harvested.
Thanks man!
I definitely am going to switch things up after this last harvest in a couple weeks. Right now I have 1 Vivosun VS4000 (400w) in a 5’x5’ tent. I’m growing 3 plants and have them in 5 gallon fabric pots. I actually transferred them directly to these pots once they were seedlings, because they are autoflowers and I heard autos don’t like being transplanted.
My next grow I am definitely going to try switching to photos. I am hoping the extra time in veg will allow for them to actually grow really big, compared to how small my plants are now. These girls are on day 69 of flower; 15 weeks in total. They just seem really small. Idk why they didn’t stretch. Is it just bc they’re autos? 1 of the 3 plants is really tall. I have it on the floor and the other 2 I have on books in order to match the canopy height.
Also, 1 of the 3 plants looks hella weird to me. The tall one and the other one have the exact same looking type of bud, one is just much taller and way less leafier than the other. But this 3rd plant is super small and bushy. Like the main cola is super thick and almost just looks weird. Like I don’t even understand the buds on this plant. It looks deformed in my opinion. My wife said she thinks it looks fine and looks better than the other 2 but I just don’t know if this is normal? I’ll post pics.
And sorry last question but I noticed the color of my weed is 1000% different on areas of the buds that are hidden from sunlight? Like if I just grab a bud and bend it down to reveal the hidden part of the flower, the hidden part looks super super underdeveloped and like lime green. It’s the same way for all of my plants. How do you get uniform color all the way through your buds? Is this even possible?
Thanks mate!
