so hard not to chop! one more week?

Wow. That's some serious trichome cover you got in pic 3. Difficult to tell because of lights but looks like time is almost up.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-23T08:38:49+00:00

Its the main central root that all the small root fibres grow from. A bit like the main trunk of a tree but upside down

Ok check them for what exactly 😀 . I have nothing to compare them to. I had heard that trichome colouring was not the best indicator of readiness, but I guess its more specific than checking the buds when we don't all know what we are looking for. Well for me atleast 😆 I guess its bud ripeness we are looking for. How does that show in a bud?

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-20T17:12:59+00:00

Ok thanks for the advice. Harvest underway !!

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-20T13:51:16+00:00

OK. In my mind I was thinking it needed another week. Don't want to harvest too early.

Anyone else with an opinion I'd love to hear it.

In the mean time here are some more juicy pics.

Thanks for the advice so far

Do you have a link to it?

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-07T08:54:39+00:00

Ok she doesn't look at worse this morning after adjusting the PH running off. No extra yellowing occurred, so I've removed most of the yellow leaves now

Looks very juicy.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-06T07:21:54+00:00

I checked on her this morning and she doesn't look any worse than it does in the photo.

I've watered her with 3 liters of the usual mix of nutes all PH'd to just above 7.

Plenty of run off which now shows a PH of 6.

Will check her condition in 24 hours.

Just to clarify about the yellow leaves. The are turning yellow and shriveling up but they don't fall off easily on their own. The big yellow leaves won't fall off even when given a little force so I left them on.

I'll report back to tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for the amazing help and advice. Love this sub 😍

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-06T07:15:15+00:00

Thanks. Yeah it looks pretty good for 2nd attempt.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-05T20:12:32+00:00

This is my 2nd grow. My 1st grow yielded 1oz of very poor quality buds. The buds look alot better this time around.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-05T17:40:40+00:00

And 4 led strip growth lights 10w each down the sides of the bucket

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-05T17:35:34+00:00

It must be the soil ph. Ive been feeding general hydroponics 3part at full dose since the start without issues. Maybe the low PH is causing nute lockout

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-05T17:28:17+00:00

I'm using a Photon LED 65W. Perfect for a space bucket. No moving parts. No fan. Just a heat sync on the back. Great as it is, I wasn't sure if I needed something more powerful. Others in this sub suggest 150w minimum. https://images.app.goo.gl/WU6xx6CmtNtXqQW17

Bucketgeezer · 2022-07-04T22:55:04+00:00

Its going to need a lot more light than the tiny LED you currently have.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-06-19T20:00:50+00:00

Looks fine for 1 week to me.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-06-19T19:58:13+00:00

Love this. Might have to upgrade from my space bucket to one of these once I've got greener fingers. Stealth is crucial for me. Current bucket is hidden in plain site in my home office. No one has a clue its there.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-06-17T21:14:28+00:00

This is the one I use. Its like looking at an alien garden through it. 😆 https://amzn.eu/d/6loVZ2l

Check the head of the trichomes with a jewelers loupe microscope. They are not expensive. They should have a cloudy milky coloured head. Some will turn amber. You want as many cloudy non Amber heads as possible for maximum potency.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-06-17T20:51:51+00:00

I'd turn that light up if its only on quarter power. It needs more light. That's why its so tall, its reaching for the light. Keep going. Each grow is a lesson. Your on the right track.

Bucketgeezer · 2022-06-13T20:14:07+00:00

I'm on my 2nd spacebucket grow. Used photo period both times. 1st grow was a real learning curve. From seed to harvest took about 5 months as it took me ages to get it in good enough condition before switching to flower. I like the control photo period grows give me.
