Do you guys ever get the main trunk going yellow on older plants?
The one auto I harvested half of is now in week 13, package said 8 weeks. The fans started going yellow and falling off a couple weeks ago, and now the whole frame is noticeably paler.
I’m still feeding it just very lightly. It seems like it should be normal if the plant starts using up all its stored energy when it gets old.

Lol yeah I’m gonna let some of them go as long as they can so I can see the whole life cycle and also to see how different the bud is. I’ve been seeing some wild claims about guys that weren’t able to get to a plant until like 2 months after they normally would’ve harvested and how amazing it smelled and tasted.
I can’t get close ups of the trunk but I have pictures of the bud and the whole room. It’s looking pretty raggedy in there now but it’s the bottom left corner if you look at the picture right side up. Bottom right corner as it is.

I’m curious too if the purple ones just had more chocolate nightmare in them or if it’s from the fan blowing on them.

Yeah I was thinking it could be from the fan blowing colder air onto them, but it’s also totally dependent on the light too, shady spots are still green.
So I just learned that mutant/blob buds are a thing

I didn’t think of that but it makes sense. Luckily it’s super dry here so I can easily knock rh down around 20% if I need to. Might do that towards the end.
Hobbit I’m really curious to see what your lcxcn turn into, how old are they??
Just saw this article, I bet in 10 years seeds altered this way will be the new auto. They tweaked rna to boost photosynthesis and a wide range of plants had 50-300% increase in yields and significantly larger root systems.

That thing is huge. I had no idea they topped themselves like that.
Was it a weed or one that you grew? I was never a fan of deliriant type stuff but I recently read some trip reports about people taking tiny doses or smoking leaves. I only ever saw people eat seeds and get hospitalized.

Those both look bomb. Idk where you’re at but afaik in the western US most black market bud is the same stuff dispensaries sell. At least like five years ago it was, I knew a few growers who would sell half a crop legally and half on the streets.
There are a bunch of threads about pgrs I’ve read through on other sites, they seem to work really well but be potentially mega toxic.
You guys ever hear of autos not getting amber trichomes? Quite a few people claim it’s common.
This one might be a candidate although it still somehow has white pistils so maybe it’s still pretty immature. I have a hard time with this super chunky/foxtail stuff. A lot of the pistils are totally curled back in and the bud is definitely swollen up, but then it has new pistils and zero amber trich.
13 weeks, I think I got the slowest pheno possible.

If you’re growing indoor I’m just wrapping up my first grow and tried a few different things. I would for sure recommend using coir, which you prob have already too. I used the GH trio plus calmag for nutrients and a cheap ph and EC/PPM meter combo on amazon for like $20. The meters are crucial.
Beyond that this site has everything you need as far as tutorials. It’s actually pretty easy. Check out the coco basics and then some plant training stuff and you’ll be set.

A lot of people, especially from Australia, say that a lot of weed there is pgr and it’s super obvious because it all looks the same no matter the strain. I think they said it’s got big tufts of pistils all over. I guess it’s called bikie bud there.
I’m curious about the street stuff too. Chemicals are pretty likely being a cheap shortcut but it could also be somebody growing the same couple great cuts and they’ve mastered that clone.
Is it really that much better than your stuff?? I don’t smoke a ton anymore but judging by the pictures they’d both wreck me and I wouldn’t be able to tell a difference.

I looked up a bunch of pgr weed the other day and the stuff that comes up is super obvious. It makes me wonder though if growers that use it in normal amounts just get really good looking weed but not the obviously altered stuff.
Most of the google image results were like looking at body builders who use waaaay too much steroids. It all just has an off look to it. I’m assuming that’s from uneducated commercial growers who just pump insane doses of pgr into their plants. I bet if they used like 20% of the amount it would be very hard to pick out.
Have you tried different methods or lengths of drying and curing? That seems to be the most important step as far as smell.
I have a couple buds that were the first ones I took off to start figuring out drying that I put away too soon. They look great but have this weird sort of gross funk to them that won’t go away even after three weeks of cure. The rest of that plant that was dried better smells amazing now.

The article I read said natural ones like alfalfa and some compost/teas are safe natural pgr.
Then they also had a list of synthetics some of which are apparently not so bad.
There was a lot of stuff about pgr reducing terpenes and smell as well though.

I had to go look up what bract was, basically calyx right??
70 days of flower and still not done yet, but almost. They’ve gotten noticeably frostier recently, everytime I see the trichs on the fan stems I want to shave them off into a bowl with a razor.
I was shooting for 12 weeks but idk if they’ll all make it that long, some of the fans at the top suddenly shriveled up over night.

Phew.
It did smell amazing when it broke open 
That nug was 5.5g so it should dry to like 1.3 right?
Thanks icon, idk if it’s genetics or from the arid environment but it’s definitely become more visible recently.
Im not sure if there’s actually more or if it just looks that way as they turn milky.

Just for future reference, if it had been mold what would’ve happened? Would it be brown/dry inside or would a cloud of spores puffed out when I broke it open or a weird smell or something?

The last two are the same just slightly different angles.
The thing that had me a little worried was the pinkish/brown coloration inside but pretty sure it’s just from the purple leaves.

I’m assuming it’s not smokeable if it has any sort of bud rot, but hash should be fine right?
The thing is none of the sugar leaves seem to be affected, only bigger ones.

Lol oh I put it through the loupe and the usb scope. Nothing fungal looking.
That did spook me into partially harvesting my tall lcxcn because the deficiencies made the leaves half dead and the buds were making the branches lean and bunch together.
Decided I should thin it out so the rest can finish up without other buds leaning on them.

These autos are driving me crazy, they look pretty ripe to me with the swelling and the curled in pistils but there’s zero amber trichomes and they’re 13 weeks old. Think I’ll give them one more week and harvest regardless.

Or am I way off and they don’t look done yet?
Also for some reason I feel the need to know what bracts are now.
These?

Also I’ve been experimenting with multi feeds in coir. Doing once a day this first grow they were faster than my soil plants but not by some huge amount like I keep seeing claimed.
So this last week I’ve been feeding two clones and a seedling 5-8x a day, and what a difference it’s made. It seems like growth has probably doubled, I’m having to train and top pretty much everyday to keep up.
Might be worth setting up an auto water system.

I came across a thread where a guy jarred up half a plant a little too wet and half a little too dry, then never burped them.
I think he waited like four months then tried them. The buds looked completely different and the wet ones were super compacted. He said the wet jar smelled much stronger and smoked smoother, and the bud was so dense you had to kind of rip pieces off.
Then the dry jar I guess had a much different smell, was s little harsher, and had more of an up high than the wet stuff.
So much interesting stuff, I had no idea there was so much involved when I started this.
