WOW, TRIC'S@ WAIRA AND FRIENDS

[rick-j]

PS-- Thanks to everyone on this site for all your suggestions----

beat me to it! Good on the tops harv' and letting the rest cook a bit more,.. if they look pretty close in accordance to what we've talked about, then maybe skip that last feed unless you feel they have that 7-10 days to go still.. you won't need more than a few days of water only to clear out,....
LED is deceiving mate, our eyes are no measure on any level for PAR, PPFD and all that jazz,... mind what the manufacturer says about light distances at different stages, and watch for leaves starting to edge curl/taco-up, and angle steeply upward, those are sign of too much light,.. past those, they start to really stress, bleach, "burn" if not by heat but photon overload if you will,....

That’s a great point! I’ve been thinking about getting a DLI meter to see what kind of light I’m actually getting in various spots in my tent and even in spots in my outdoor gardens.

I think I read 300+ dollars for a good meter----- yikes- Think i'll wait. I hope to see no more of that Nasty leave curling and tacoing-up,and bleaching, and BURNING, and NASTY LEAVES, I had it all, it makes it kinda hard to enjoy a hobby until you start to learn some tricks. Love my meds. Slowly i'm learning-- now to get ready for the rest of the harvest--------- Yippeeeeeee

The one I linked to is $87usd

I'll take it, do the letters USD MEAN united states dollars? I have LED lights and LED COB's, I will probably just use the COB's-- would that meter work for those lights? I have no clue-----

Update--new pics-- as you might know, I chopped the tops off my girls, watered with plain water, 3 days ago. Thought they might be ready to chop this morning, but their is still lots of clear tric's. Lots of green under the colas. I watered this morning, FULL NUTE'S. I would have got rid of more bad leaves, but I read somewhere that the colas still are eating from the little bit of green that is left on the leaves? THERE IS SO MUCH STU, I've been reading lots of post and watching you tube vidio's, oh-my--any-way-- I'll keep sending pic's, mabey some one will see something I don't--- what are those red headed things, and why are some of those tric's headless? From my big fingers mabey?

PS-- one day I will learn to focus my camera, looks kinda bad---- I forgot, the r/h is at 31% after useing my new 2nd hand humidifier all night in the grow room ,-----one of these days

:smoking: some trich's can pick up pigments! If you ever run a full purple bud strain and make kief/hash, it'll be purple as well,...
No more nutes now, and you can clear out some of the more hammered leaves, just snip them off,.. some may just fall off, a natural process when they are tapped out... This will let more light in, and won't tempt any potential mold issues....(low odds with that RH% thankfully)
Trich's look nearly all cloudy to me, so after several more days go ahead and take the rest if you want too,... the rate of decline tells me to tell you to get out when you can-

Thank you Waira for all your help. Things should go better with the next grow, just 1 plant under one light. I was way over my head, thinking I was smarter than those plant's and light's- I guess i'm lucky to get what I can salvage. Remember--- I had a stroke in 2005-- lost some brain cells, one of these day's I will grow a beautifull girl. I did what you suggested and got rid of some of those real bad leave's, look's a lot better!
