First Time Gorilla Glue #4 Near Harvest

My plant has been flowering for approximately 9 weeks. It'll be 10 on Wednesday. My question is does it look ready now or should I give it a couple weeks? I've been cutting too early so I want to get this part right.

Issues I had this run were I used tap water one time late into flower so it ended up a bit high in nitrogen, and I switched it from 12/12 to 18/6 near this time as well because it was in there with a photo. These two caused it to be more stressed than I would've liked.

I'd need to see the entire plant but she looks a bit hungry and like she needs at least 2 more weeks. Congrats on getting this far.

BTW how much N does your tap contain? That's uncommon.

It's not particularly high. I just mean on top of the nitrogen in FFOF adding tap water raises it more. I have some of the General Hydroponics three part nutes so maybe I should add some Bloom? The stem turned completely red but I'm not sure what that means exactly.

Judging from pictures I’d chop it burn it and start over.

What is the source of N in your tap water. It doesn't need more bloom food. It looks like it needs N. But I haven't seen the entire plant.

According to the city report there is .33 mg/l due to fertilizer and leaching from septic pipes in the tap water. But normally I only use distilled water because I was told FFOF has everything it needs for the duration. Here is the whole plant. I tied the top part because the plant was leaning heavy.

It has imo at least 4 weeks to finish. Lots of white pistils all over sticking straight out.

When it finishes is a combo of strain, growing style and health. Because they have been stressed and lack some nutrients it will take longer than you may expect.

According to Google this strain flowers 8-9 weeks for a healthy plant. I've noticed the maturity of the colas seems to be wildly different all over the plant. On some of them 85% of the pistils are orange and receded. Maybe I should give the water some Flora Micro and Cal Mag?

I was told dont use tap water and for a year I tried collecting fucking rainwater. It worked but it was a nightmare. Then I asked the same question on here and was told it does not matter if you use tap water. If its safe enough for you its good for your plants. I did the next run with tap water and couldnt tell a single difference. Im not on a well either. I get city water since I live in the middle of a humid ass swampland.

Using tap water 1 time is not why you got hi N issues.

That plant is hyper stressed it will most likely never finish properly. 10 weeks is enough for that girl. Take it down...think about what went wrong and try again.

When the leaves start to get crispy you got major issues. In theory when done right...a grow should have no crispy leaves.

I only used distilled water and FFOF soil and never added anything else. The temperature is always the same and humidity stays at 40%. So one vote for high N and one vote for low N. Anyone else?

why dont you just test the soil with one of those cheap tester kits so you know versus everyone taking a shot in the dark? Fairly sure lowes and homedepot would carry that as nutrient soil testing is important for most anything your growing be it MMJ or veggies. Just a thought so you have evidence what to change next grow.

Your plant is fried and pretty much done. What happened to its' fan leaves? I don't think it matters now when you chop.

I take back my low N! I now know why you have some starvation look now though.

That's just how it grew. I didn't do any LST so it just grew straight up this time until it started to lean. Even my first grow, which turned out to be a catastrophe, produced some good stones, and this one actually smells like really good grapes instead of straw. Yeah I think I'll start processing this one.

I thought it was normal for it to look like it was starving cause all the nutrients went to the buds, but when the cola leaves started to brown I knew I was fucked. I'll look into it and next time I'll know what to do.

In the fall leaves on plants change colors. But they do not turn crunchy till they hit the ground. You want the plant to change color but not actually drop the leaves.

If you just fed water with soil your plant ran out of food around when it went into flower.

Need to look into top dressing or pic a fert line for flower. That soil should be enough for veg. But you need to feed in flower.
