Browning leaf tips

[Jenny1400n]

Hey guys!

Now I "heart" all of you! Thanks so much for hanging in here with me :thank:

Daily update: I feel like I'm seeing more amber, but that's probably just 'cause I didn't know what I was looking at yesterday. Viewing tomorrow might be more telling to my brain. No more browning of the sides of the leaves. Doesn't look like the tips are worsening. Sound like burn to y'all?

So, if that is the case, I should be watering with plain H2O, right? Do I adjust the pH? Have always upped to 7.5 or so because the soil was initially so acidic.

Is there any scenario where I would return to feeding nutes after a few plain waterings? It seems to me that I should do water only from here on out. Won't that get the fans turning yellow? However, will that be prematurely aging them? Will the buds continue to fatten with just water and maybe a little honey?

I'm not looking for a couch lock smoke, so I'd rather go early than late. I'm after more of a heady mellow buzz (I think. It's been a loooong time since I've smoked).

Now I'm going to ask a controversial question, and I don't want to sound like an impatient noobe, but…. I'd love to hear your thoughts on testing a little tiny bit. Would quick drying some sugar leaves or a popcorn bud and vaping be worthwhile? I'm leaning toward "no" since I've not smoked anything in forever so no current frame of reference, and I'm totally new to vaping. I just know I'm going to be super tempted when the Silver Surfer hits my doorstep on Monday (which is coincidently MY BIRTHDAY! Happy Birthday to me!!! :Hookah

Looking forward to hearing what y'all think. Thanks again!!!

IF it were me, I would start with the plain, non-buffered water (left out for 24hrs. if it's tap that needs dechlorin-izing) and continue for 12-14 days, then chop.

It is the final stage and you would have to start the process over if you re-introduced nutes.

The leaf yellowing is a regular, natural thing at the end...the plant is sucking out/feeding on the nutrients stored in them...it's what you want

So yes, you'll still gain weight on the buds.

Of tantamount importance to this decision to start the cleanse is your desire to avoid couch lock...
I feel like the amount of amber the trichs are exhibiting necessitates the starting of the cleanse, independent
of maximizing yield.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (preemptively)

Oh, and go ahead and pull a popcorn bud off and dry it out/smoke it. You'll be smoking nutes but a little ain't gonna kill you.

Thank you, bro! Wish I could have y'all over for a Christmas party. Everything should be done by then!!!!!

:smoke: Hi Jenn-ay! ..looks like the Trapster has called a good game plan,...:Cool bud: For the trichs, I have a 7-10X folding pocket combo lens, and with this level of magnification, it's easy to read the trich's in mass, and still get color details for assessment,...(also very handy for scanning/looking at possible vermins... think I got mine at opticsplanet.com).... Ah!- great to hear, no further progression,...yeah, I'm still leaning toward a bit of nute burn, likely brought on by the full belly feeding and getting a bit to dry maybe, as mentioned earlier.....>>>... Ayuh, by all means, take a few smaller nuggs, tonight if you can, let'm sit for a day or so without forced drying, then place them somewhere that there's gentle heat until party time,.. watch'm to see how the dry progresses,... RH is everything with a speed dry,... low RH will allow them to lose water fast without totally getting the aromatics poofed off at the same time! The day delay I suggested is just an option, maybe this will make for slightly better smoke even for speed drying....If the RH is pretty high at home, like 55%+, just get'm on something with gentle warmth (cable boxes seem to be popular)... Normally, there's a whole series of biochemical/physiological reactions and processes occurring during the "death throes",.. chlorophyll, carbs breaking down,... aromatic changes sometimes,...blah blah blah... All this makes for better Q' smoke in the end! :stylez rasta smoke: ...birthday wishes forthcoming later! "Bailers Booya"
