Thank you for looking in. I’m reaching the end game of my first grow, and so far ILGM forum users have been an immeasurable help. Gonna ask for some more.
Growing 1 Zskittlez auto, via ILGM
FFHF soil.
Advanced Nutrients micro, grow, bloom.
Ph is good via soil test, 6.5ish last I checked.
RH sits around 55.
PPM was 1300ish coming out.
If you need any more information let me know.
Looking at the trichomes, I should be looking at the tips and their coloration, with an amber color being the sign of maturity, correct?
They just barely finished transitioning from preflower to flower you probably have 2 months to go still. You dont need to look at trichomes yet. In about 8 weeks those buds should be huge. Wait until nearly all the white hairs have turned brown and receded back into the calyx’s then start checking trichomes.
21 days. Ir looking at 5 to 7 weeks more depending on how u want the buzz to be. All the white hairs will basically change color and look like they have receded back into the calyx some with it being a zkit auto that’s mostly sativa I believe. My autos zkits from ilgm went 9 to 11 weeks in flower so u have a rough time frame. Now u r in flower u want to do everything u can to keep the rh below 50 as to avoid any kind of wpm or mold. For shits and giggles for yourself to see how it works take a top bud or 2 like a foot or 10 inches down the stalk. Squeeze the stalk to soften it and bend a bud over and leave it on a 90 degree angle that should open up a route for nutes to flow to that bud. See if u notice the difference between that bud and the other buds around it. Try not to split the branch but soften and bend. A hard kink is fine it will work itself out as long as u don’t break it off it will be fine I promise u
That makes a lot more sense, I had read in a couple places that the flowering was about 30 days. I thought I had just messed up the grow and was going to get a poor crop with the way it is. But with another month+ that will be plenty of time for the buds to enlarge.
I’ll drop the RH and try that technique on a branch.
