I’m about to harvest the three Amnesia Haze (fem) plants in about a week. Two plants have great colas, hairs are going from white to brown as expected. The 3rd plant looks as healthy as the others, white hairs up and down, but no colas growing, just a lot of white hairs.
Is this plant just lagging behind? And just need to keep it in flowering longer? Or did something else happen and this plant isn’t ever going to make colas. Thanks for the help!
I’ve attached pics, full setup, the one in question, then two good ones. In the full setup, the middle one is the suspect. They’ve been on 12/12 for about 7-8 weeks now I believe. Watered every other day, I stopped nutrients because the soil was all organic with a bunch of different goodies in it (worm castings, bat poo, etc). The left and right plants are doing well, about to harvest. Brown hairs at the top are probably 60-70%. The middle, all hairs are white, no colas. The leaves I notices are thin. For now, I’m going to keep watering that one, it looked drier than the other two and let it keep flowering a bit longer. Hope that helps! Thank you!
Some plants, even from the same parents, just grow differently. I would wait it out and see how it does. It actually looks healthy and green. Patience is the name of the game in growing. May need some nutrients to help boost it.
Could be, I can’t get the pictures to enlarge on my computer and the old eye sight is not as good as it used to be. Most of the plants that I have seen with overage of Nitrogen were pretty yellow and light colored.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m the grower of these ladies. The pics: top is the grow, middle one if the problem plant. Second pic is the problem plant. 3rd is the left, good plant, 4th is the right, good plant. I can get better pics this evening after work. Actually, I’ll try and repost the original size pics after this post.
For now, I’m going to keep the lights on 12/12, and keep watering the middle one. She seemed a bit dryer than the other two, so maybe it’s underwatered. Also, out of the 3, she was the runt. Anything you can think of info wise, ask and I’ll provide! Thanks again!
This picture was taken 4 days ago and I am thinking I have another good 3 weeks left . I know it is hard to wait but yeah I have to agree with @peachfuzz you still got a lot of weight your gonna miss out on plus the final push of trichs before harvest . Good luck I know it easy for all of us to say wait when we got 2 oz in the drawer
Do you mean for the lagging plant? Or for the entire crop? I just cut the top colas from the good two. The hairs were mostly brown and magnifier showed milky. The middle/laggy plant I’ll keep flowering!
One thing I noticed on the laggy plant. The leaves are darker green, and they’re folding in long wise/canoeing. Why is that?
you likely harvested too soon. Very likely that weed is gonna make you paranoid…all of the hairs need to turn,…and all of the trichomes at least need to be milky…with a certain degree being amber… since your plant still had white hairs it is also likely you lost out on weight… buds generally swell the last week or so before they ripen. not saying the weed will not be good, just that it can be better and you can get more if you wait.
just my opinion
Thanks for the info Oak! Please don’t think I’m being argumentive, or know it all. This is my first grow. But, what you said contradicts multiple sources, to include here on ILGM. Maybe not contradicts, but narrows it. Most sources I’ve read say to harvest at 100% brown, milky with some amber for a couch locked, less psychoactive high. But they offer the other harvest times for different reasons and perhaps stronger THC, maybe less tasteful. Also, can I make this up during curing?
I only harvest the top colas (2.8 oz, pretty stoked about that), and going to let the rest of the plant keep going. I’m excited to compare the difference in harvest time. Unless of course I have 2.8 oz of weed that makes me paranoid!
Back to my middle laggy plant. Any ideas on the dark green and canoeing leaves? I’m going to let it keep going and will post updates if anybody would like. Not trying to rush it, but I have 3 more ladies that are ready for flowering and only one grow tent. Thanks again for all the great info, it’s much appreciated!
with my last grow…dark green leaves were due to heavy light exposure and whenever I got canoeing it was due to heat issues…dropped temps and leaves flattened back out…
on harvest, many people just harvest when the hairs are all brown… however at that point your thc may not have reached its peak which is why we look closely at the trichomes.
by my understanding the thc is at its peak when the trichomes are milky/cloudy and no clear trichs remain… turning amber is a sign of degradation of the thc… but thc is a psychoactive stimulant and can cause paranoia and anxiousness…which for some of us is very bad, lol… as the thc degrades and turns amber it becomes a sedative which counteracts the stimulant affects of the milky thc… I like an upbeat high so prefer to harvest early…at around 20-30% amber… the amount will vary depending upon which strain of weed you are growing… but for me its all about trying to find that sweet spot where there is no paranoia or anxiety,…but yet I do not get couch locked either. I am pretty certain with white widow that sweet spot is right around 25% amber…
again, strain is important… going to try an outdoor grow with lemoncello haze, also an upbeat daytime sativa…and see what results I get with that
Great info! Thanks Oak. Temp and light makes sense, it was the runt so I put her in the midldle. I’ll move her over to the side and drop the temp a tad. Hopefully she bounces back!
It’ll be awhile, they’re sprouting now, but I have Debian Poison and Green Crack growing now. They’re supposed to be excellent saliva strains. I can let you know down the road! These were going to go outside, but I’m thinking against it. I’ll see what pops up, but maybe I’ll try and make seeds, or clones depending what pops up.
Ready to go into flowering as soon as I harvest my Amnesia Haze I have one plant each of White Widow, Goldleaf and Afghan. Just wanted to try a bunch out, but I’m looking for 3 good strains, one for the AM (helps my body, still lets me be productive), PM (sleep time), and a nice evening/weekend social high.
Hey everybody! For any of you that are following this thread, the runt finally finished. I harvested the other two and got a pretty nice return for my first go around. I started the second batch and left the runt (3rd plant lagging behind) in the grow room. I had the space while the others matured. It held pretty steady, no growth, dark canoed leaves. Finally it came around, the leaves never fanned out, but it formed small nugs. I cut it down a little bit ago and it’s been hanging to dry. Today I finally got around to trimming and jarring. Not as much yield as the other two, but still a decent amount. Might use this one for some yummy edibles!
Next up is Goldleaf (just harvested today), White Widow and Afghan. Then some other strains shortly after! Thanks again for all the input, insight and help, very much appreciated!
