Day 37 of flowering- buds not as thick as I thought they’d be around the 5th week of flowering. And still hardly any smell. However, they are much fuller than a week ago. Thanks for looking!

Looking good , what nukes are you using ?
I’ve been using hydroponic nutes because that’s what I had left over from a failed attempt at dwc earlier this year. I’m sorry I don’t have the npk numbers as I’m not at home. But I’ll get back to you later.
Damn yalls look so much better than mine, at 6 weeks of veg she looks like this… What am I doing wrong
What strain is that? What light set do you have? What type of soil are you using? Air temp/humidity? Are you using nutes, if so what kind? How often do you feed? Do you know the pH of your water? Of your run off? The ppm of nutes you’re delivering?
That sounds like a lot, but all stuff you can control and all stuff that will make your plant better if you give it the best you can.
My plant thrived in vegetative state. I only have one because my grow closet is small. But for 1 plant it’s a lot of room. I used 2 26watt cfl’s for the first two weeks or so until my plant started growing it’s 5th set of leaves. Then I started mainlining it and put it under a 400watt MH air cooled light. I put the light about 12"-18" above the top of the plant to maximize the light. It got lots of light it’s whole life so that could be a big reason it grew so fast and lush. Hope that helps a little to answer your questions. Good luck and FYI this is only my 3rd grow. A lot of help came from Mac. He’s smart, hit him up for questions.
I am not sure what strain it is, I got the seeds from a bag I bought after breaking up the buds, I am running a hps lamp, running on an 18-6 light clock, air temp and humidity unknown, still have to get a dig. Thermometer/ humidity gauge, I am using Miracle Gro tomato plant food, given every 3days and misting with a bottle of straight water every day, still looking for a pH kit but can’t seem to find one at Walmart lol, I am still very new at this, only my 3rd try all others came out males.the plant food spec’s are… Nitrogen 18% phosphate 18% soluble potash 21% magnesium .50% iron .10% manganese .05% and zinc .05%
I got my ph tester on Amazon. It was only $15 and it came with a ph test powder. But it only was good once and I notice the cheap tester I got fluctuates after several uses. So I googled ph of cocacola. Cheap way to recalibrate. Coke is 2.52 so I just recalibrate using that. I use 6.0 ph water because supposedly the plant likes it a little acidic. And my soil I use is organic potting mix with no nutes in it. That way I know what I put in my soil. From your pic your soil looks a little compacted. Almost like dirt. Mines has a lot of perlite in it to create a more airy blend. It allows the roots to get oxygen.
I’ll post some pics tomorrow. It’s a little past week 7 of flowering for my plant. It’s almost done I think. I didn’t buy a magnifying glass yet to check if the trichomes are cloudy. I also wanted the buds to fatten up a little more. And I fed it some nutes 2 days ago. So I’ll be flushing it the next 2 weeks with straight water. Even though the nutes are supposedly all natural. Ya never can be too safe with something that’ll be smoked. Even though I smoke cigarettes. Who knows what bad shit is in those? Lol!
Lol o I know everyone says these cancer sticks will kill me, but I say u only live once so enjoy lol, yeah the soil in that pic is dirt, ran out of potting soil so I tried dirt to see if it really makes a difference, what nutes do you suggest? And how long did you veg b4 starting flowering?
It’s looking great my brother , thanks for sharing .

Damnit I checked on my plant this morning and found spider mites have started showing up. I found a bunch of leaves with eggs and two of the colas had webs. I !@#$ing hate those things. I’m going to try and wash them off for the next several days. I read you can knock a lot of them off with a decent stream of water. Then maybe I’ll try some of those natural remedies. I didn’t want to cut my plant for a couple more weeks but I might have to chop it soon. It’s going on week 9 of flowering. !@#$ing bugs!
Hydrogen get some of this A.SAP
This stuff will take care of your problem. Just dust your plants had get under the leaves are to…ok
If you grow in soil make sure you yt? A good dose on the soil. This will kill them as they hatch. Make sure you get the bag for soil and it for swimming pools For Soil Only!!

Thanks will. I actually have some DE. I will be doing some irradication today. I hope it’s not too late.
And I think it is easier to wash them off, even washing the DE off after, when they are all dead, than when they are alive, and the good thing is the Food Grade DE won’t hurt you if it doesn’t all entirely wash off, unlike other pesticides might.
I had bought the food grade de about a month ago to combat ants. But I’m glad I have it for these mites. I washed the bugs off as best I could this morning. Then I dusted the soil. I’ll wait for the buds to dry then I will dust those as well. Thanks for all of your help!
Roger, glad you had some on hand.
The DE will Knox the hell out of them.
Let me know how t all works out for you.
