Thank you all for your feedback and recco's...TJ, I definitely agree that the redder the better!! I'm a medicinal user, broke my back...and love when it just takes the edge off the pain...the infamous couch lock, and anti-insomnia. I'll take my sleep in 2 hour increments at 3 in the afternoon if I have to!
So, the girls got nute burned pretty badly...the RO coming out was 5.2! I saw the first signs as I posted last week, and bam, 2 days later it was nightmarish!
Luckily, the friend who donated the LA clones to me came by and made the following observations & recommendations to me...
1) I am watering/feeding/flushing incorrectly...I haven't been using enough water when I flushed (I was using 1 gallon of RO per plant...he had me mix RO with spring water to stabilize the PH, and then flooded them with THREE gallons for each mature plant....the things were gurgling and bubbling like I've never seen), and he also recommended watering until drainage occurs prior to feeding once a week...and flushing entirely once a month...essentially at the turn to 12/12, at the halfway point, and prior to harvest.
2) I need to learn to regularly turn and handle the plants...with my current process and configuration, the plants have a front, sides, and back...
3) I need to trim the bottoms and under carriage of the plants more prior to flipping to flower
They are pretty much ready to harvest, so I'm going to try a drying technique he shared with me. I pretty much trim them directly as is, still in the soil. Then I put them back in the grow room, move the fans, keep it dark, and let them dry in the soil...naturally, as if during a drought...when the stems break instead of bend, cure them in the Cvaults.....thoughts?
So, here they are in their glory....day 58...Amber color, nice smell, and absolutely ROCK HARD buds...it's been years since I've seen anything like this...ridiculous, absolutely zero "give" when you squeeze the buds...
