New Grower First grow!!

[Topic12]

:smoke: Hey AFN howdy.... This is my first grow ever and I wish I would have found this site before I was so far in!!!! But I'm on day 63 now with Auto Seeds Berry Ryder... Lighting- Vipar 400w Led!!! Medium-soil mix of 50%peat moss, 25%playsand,and 25%peralite and Nutes- Technaflora nutes and Technaflora nute schedule!! Started veg nutes day 14 lightly introducing and fed veg until week 7 then lightly introduced flower nutes and have fed twice now (flower nutes)! If I left anything out let me know! So my questions are I'm thinking of letting her go 100 days but I'm not sure so here's some pics as close as I can get just ordered a 45x magnifier but haven't received it yet!! So I guess I'm looking for sum advice on how much longer until I start flushing?? Total NOOOBIE!!

Also wondering about the yellowing leaves you can see in the 3rd pic?+

Your plants look great. I think you have 2-3 weeks to go until starting a 2-week "cleanse." Read the "lifecycle" <<link and "when to harvest" <<link stickies.

The yellow leaves are normal as it reaches this age. There should be more yellow leaves when you start cleanse. Look at my first grow here <<link where I started to have yellow lower leaves and asked if it was time to do the water-only cleanse. I was told to wait 3 weeks. If you look at the subsequent posts you can see the condition of the plant as I reached that age, and what it looked like when I harvested.

BTW: What kind of reflective material are you using around the walls of your grow? It looks like mirror-finish tiles.

Looks like the creases of a folded-up space blanket....

BTW, Outstanding job for a first grow! I hope I achieve even half that success with my first...

Very well done mate very well done!
My first grow was also berry ryder and its a nice smoke! (and your plant is looking way better than mine)
I am about to grow another berry ryder and a Think Different.
The yellowing leaves are fine and typical, had the same thing.
Harvest took place at about 70 days. Depending on trichomes, I would advice to flush and prepare her to be dried.

I was thinking a mirror finish like that is advised against because it can concentrate light, creating hotspots. But, as you said, his grow appears to be doing excellent.

It is indeed a folded space blanket!! Lol I couldn't pull the folds out no matter how hard I tried lol!!! Thanks for the props and great advice!! Jus thought the flowers should be a little fatter... My next grow will be auto Ak and plan on doing a full grow journal now that I found AFN!! And will also update a few more pics on this grow until she's done

Do you use a bloom booster? Technaflora has Awesome Blossom, it's only 10-10 PK. It seems similar to GH's Liquid KoolBloom which I've used throughout the flowering period, followed by the dry version (in the last two weeks before cleanse) which is a harder hit of 45-28. Technaflora doesn't seem to have an equivalent for this, although it's just a matter of how strong you give the 10-10 stuff.

Sometime I'm going to try Grow More's Hawaiian Bud/Bloom at 50-17. (I use it already as a supplement to my Grow More Sea Grow flower nute, but I mean cut the nutes and hit it hard with HB/B at the end.).

It's probably too late for Awesome Blossom, although you could give your plant some at the end to see if it helps. Otherwise, I'd be researching bloom boosters for your next grow.

Finally, waiting to harvest allows the buds pack on weight. It's hard to wait. But, if you follow Muddy's "when to harvest," and can exercise faith it will come out ok, I think you'll see them fatten. I've seen it with two autos now. The second one was much easier to wait.

az2000 I checked out ur first grow!! Looked pretty awesome...great dense buds as it looked. And I have been using awesome blossom since day 45 fed 3 times since!! My nute schedule is usually feed every 5th day and for my flower nutes BC boost 3 tsp BC bloom 3 tsp awesome blossom 1/2 tsp thrive alive 1/2 tsp magical 1/2 tsp and sugar daddy 2 1/2 tsp that's per gallon!! Should I change anything as that is the technaflora schedule?
