This is my first grow. It is White Widow CBD autoflower. It has been 14 weeks since I started everything and it should be close to harvest based on time. I have learned some things the hard way and this grow can certainly be improved upon. Getting PH and nutrient balances right has been a challenge. I am growing indoors in hydro. Right now, the buds are small. Not sure I’ll get much yield but you live and learn. What I am curious about is based on these photo’s, how much longer do you think it has before harvest? Trichomes are mostly cloudy. Pistils are maybe 30-40% brown. This plant
looks like a bush. Nothing like the shapes I see in others pictures. It seems like I was always defoliating but couldn’t keep up without stressing the plant. Thanks for any input.
Welcome to the forum.
The pistils on the plant are relatively new and you have a ways to go yet before she starts bulking up. How many weeks has she been flowering?
8 weeks tomorrow
on a related note, I had timed this grow so that it would be dried and cured by the time I go on a big vacation. I have a wedryer so hopefully I can dry it fast but either way, I have read conflicting info on curing and burping. If I have a Bovada 62 RH packet and a C-vault, do I need to burp regularly? I read somewhere if you have the RH packet you don’t have to burp. If I do have to burp, that is what is probably going to not get done properly because the grow is taking longer than anticipated.
Dry and cure at ~60% RH and ~68F. It takes about 7 to 10 days to get a proper dry in these conditions. You can use Grove Bags and avoid burping or go with jars. I use jars and burp twice a day for the first week and then once a day afterward.
Can you share a pic of the whole plant?
8 Weeks from sprout or 8 weeks from the first pistols.
Looks like you’ve got “several weeks” left to my eye. You’ll want to check the trichomes to judge ripeness.
What light are you using?
Not sure. It came as a kit. I can look into that later and get back with you. I’ve also reached the maximum number of replies I can send on my first day so I will have to follow up tomorrow.
Do you harvest Hemp at the same “ripeness” as regular cannabis plants?
8 weeks since it started flowering
Try grove bags. No burp.
Plant probably needs about three weeks to finish. I have finished a lot of plants ten weeks flowering. Good luck finishing up
Happy birthday @TLC
Thanks!!
