Metal grow cabinet build for 1st grow

i started 2 weeks before the end ..... some say a week ... some say with soil there is no need to flush (feed water only rather then flush) ... mines have been just water for two weeks and look like there gonna be another two weeks before ready ...even though i've had cloudy trich's forever now!

just checked my trich's still clear on the white russian so she can have another feeding cuz it should be a little bit before she's ready

when mine showed half cloudy i started the starve ..... but still mostly cloudy 2 weeks later ... so no rush buddy

DUDE!!! today I FINALLY seen my girls first white hairs growing!!! But the weird thing is, they arent on the main top cola yet, there on the next biggest one, but they are DEFF hairs!!! Dude im so excited, hopefully this will be a very merry Christmas!!!! Check out my page!! AND.... should I switch back to 20/4, or keep her steady at 12/12 since shes finally not all stressed out?

i thought the bud show had already begun in my cabinet but i was wrong! i didn't really get to check on them for a day and a half and they are blowing up! both easy ryders are gaining weight and the white russian is beefing up like she set up camp at muscle beach.
I'll post pics soon, probably tonight

Also I can tell growing is taking over my brain because i jerked awake last night because i was dreaming about finding spider mites in my girls! lol

can't wait bruv.... its nice to have a day off and find they've been busy

in order: Rudy the tall easy ryder packing on buds, the white russian adding weight to the main cola, small easy ryder main cola, small er secondary "cola", the group, and finally a bad attempt to take a photo thru a pocket microscope of the white russian's trich's which are about 65% cloudy and rest are clear

those pocket microscopes are a bitch... i got one recently and it's cool to be able to see trichs so magnified but its hard to keep anything in focus... i dont get how people can accurately guess the percentages of trichs... i lose focus halfway through the count

odd leaf spot showing on the lower fan leaves of the tall easy ryder?

almost every leaf on the white russian has what appears to be a burnt tip? dont think its nute burn since they didn't have a feeding for about a week prior to this? but i might have mixed up and used my water with cal mag mixed in could two waterings in a row with cal mag on the med to heavy side do this?

the tips of my leaves are looking like that too. i dont think its a big deal, probably a slight n def but thats normal as the plant ends its life cycle. i think...

yep i had the same issues ... until someone said cut a (tiny) sample and lay it on your bench then stick you microscope over it... much better with my shakey hands

ya i figured that would probably be the best bet, just didn't want to mess with the girl too much

thats how i took my microscope pic i snipped off a tiny lil bit and laid it down, helped alot because i thought the trich's were all clear when lookin at em on the plant but could see a lot of cloudy once i snipped a sample

i'll throw up some pics tonight, but i pulled a yellowing lower leaf off my white russian this morning, and my girl has been dying to try her new medicine so i think i'm going to use my sledgehammer on the white russian tonight and just give her pure distilled water from here on out. so my projected chop date would be Jan 9th for the white russian that would make her 81 days old.

Sound like a solid plan to my fellow RIU members? i don't wanna go too early but i think she'll be ready by then and if i wait longer, i might be in danger from my impatient wife

left the girls alone for 3 days but they are fine, my small easy ryder is still developing nicely



Rudy the Tall Easy Ryder is still packing on bud weight. and still frosty as i wished this christmas to be



The white russian seems to be done adding weight, at least to my eye, and under the scope she still isn't showing any amber trich's... ? i've heard some autos don't go amber but i'm still flushing her and waiting a little while to take her down



does appear that the White Russian has some more swollen calyx, but maybe its just because i didn't see her for a few days, you can also see in this pic that the leaves are still dark green despite the flush but that the spots i noticed on lower leaves are showing leaves in the bud now... is this just part of the maturing process? i'd love any input you've got.

looking good man! i would definitely wait a little bit longer. How tall is she?

The white russians main cola, been on pure distilled water since dec 26th planning to chop on the 9th
