how do i finish out this sour stomper? d 52

[jmattson]

hi everyone! it's my first indoor grow. 2x sour stompers, 3 gal build a soil light. i top dressed with grow dots causing n tox so i scraped those off about two weeks ago.

i've fed once very lightly with tiger bloom at half strength two weeks ago, right now just feeding ph water with a single dose of cal mag and recharge.

i'm wondering if i should feed this plant again with tiger bloom to build the buds and help it finish. my problem is, it looks like i nute burned it, but the leaves also look hungry to me. so i'm not sure how to ride it out the last 3-4 weeks.

thank you!

How do the trichomes look? Are they still clear? Starting to turn cloudy? Or are they mostly cloudy and some turning amber. Youll get mixed answers from people, lots feed right up to harvest, some just water for the last 2-4 weeks. My preference is to do nothing but water for the last week or 2. Judging from the pic it looks like you should be about 50/50 cloudy clear, so its up to you and personal preference, just remember if you are feeding right all they way up to the chop there really shouldnt be any natural fade in fan leaves, they will stay green up to harvest. Yours seem to be in that natural fade so my guess is if you wanted to feed you can

thank you for your response, here it the trich shots for day 55... seems a little early? i hope the buds swell up a bit.

here is my other sour stomper.. the problem child... not sure if i am going to be able to finish this one because all the fans are dying. it had helmet head which caused problems all down the grow, as well as n tox bad earlier. i haven't fed it at all, just ph'ed water. will be happy to bring it to the finish without illness.

You may think its a problem child but lemme get some pic of plants i took to harvest cuz honestly it looks great. Its hard to get a real clear pic of your trichs without a digital microscope tho, even one of those clip on 20x magnifying lenses would do a pretty good job.

Lots of rust spots from overfeeding and dead and dying fan leaves everywhere. If its still going its worth harvesting. Plants may seem in dire straights but youd be suprised and what a not so healthy can produce. The first pic, the brown is literly crispy dead leaf. And ithe other, those rust colored spots are on the entire plant. I still harvested both. Frankly those 2 were my biggest producers, i mean look at the one in the background of the first pic. All the fan leaves are dying and i was still about 3 weeks from harvest on that one.

Also I mostly grow photoperiod plants so autos are a little out of my relm but if the buds are swelling still you got a lil ways to go. If i remember ive seen some sour stompers go for 70-90 days depending on how people like their trich maturity. Do not quote me on that though. I think @Lil Dab has grown sour stomper before he might know a little more about that strain than me.

I'm just a hobby grower new/old stock to this forum. Completely different topic.

With your plants being so mature, its really hard to diagnose as you stated, some of the yellowing are certainly old fans doing what they do. Looking at the new growth on the buds, it seems your girls are in recovery with deep green. Just my opinion, I think you are good. I don't think you have much longer left. Perhaps 10 days? I see newish pistils turning red but nothing new-new from what I can see. Looking forward to seen the bud porn!

Pistils Signal When to Harvest, But Where Else Should You Look?​

Now you know why cannabis pistil hairs change color. As well as playing a physiological role, these changes in appearance can also help growers to know when to harvest their flowers. But stigmas aren’t the only part of cannabis plant anatomy that indicates the maturity of buds. The color of glandular trichomes is an even better way to determine how close plants are to harvest.

thank you both! i'll post an update next week.

i did end up feeding them with the last water, about 1/3 strength tiger bloom, because they yellowed up overnight... funny how quick that happens! still holding out for a good finish about hope they can go another two weeks.

here we are on d63! one of them is finally starting to chunk up on the cola. would love to push it another week +, not seeing a ton of amber in the trichs so far.

That's awesome man! Once you are all cured up, I look forward to some BUD-PORN!! Don't forget nkay? I mean really, I want to see LoL! +Rep

 

[jmattson]

thank you for the encouragement! i will definitely post the cured bud.

here's the problem child on day 65... it's a little riper than the other one that has more weight... i'm wondering how y'all would handle a dry trim on a plant like this with the little fans basically almost dead? defoil everything but the sugar leaves before hanging? i know it would dry a little faster, but it's already a small plant so i'm expecting a quick-ish dry.
