Hey brother Lrus!
The Girls are doing VERY well except for the damaged I caused them...thank you for asking, my friend!
A while back the Res. got hotter than I ever expected. I thought I could keep it under 72F with just the insulation I encapsulated the space in along with my 12,000BTU Air Conditioner. I couldn't. I was forced to buy a Chiller. It was only 24 or 36 hours, but it was in danger territory even for those dozens of hours...I think it was closer to 24 hours than 48 hours. The Chiller arrived lightning quick!
Then, I mistaking followed the recipe on the Mega Crop Parts A&B + Bud Explosion precisely to their formula on their packaging. That over Nuted them. So, there are nute burned leaves. I've been trimming the damage back but it looks like the leaves I earlier trimmed back continued to yellow in the many following days. Still trimming them back.
And, when they Girls were spreading out they became uncontrollable in my situation. Some of a couple of the Girls (maybe 3) came in direct contact with the HPS bulb. Cooked them. I had Yoyo'd them. I Yoyo'd them good! But, while I was doing some trimming in there I shook the plant to get the dead and cuttings to drop to the floor and I didn't realized I had loosened nearly all of the Yoyo's I carefully installed insuring they'd never hit the bulb.
You'll still see some of those cooked leaves.
Some of the yellowing leaves you see now is due to Flushing the nutes out, expectedly.
They were in Flower for over 90 days. I kept checking them with a lighted Loupe and finding Amber Trichomes were far and few between. I wasn't seeing much change in the Trichomes at all up to that point. It was 93 or 94 days - I flipped them to Flush only due the NINETY + DAYS in Flower!
I am now seeing many Amber Trichs with the 30-60X Loupe.
The Girls are now in Flush...Day 4 of Flush. I'm using Botanicare Clearex for the flush. They're on their 2nd batch of Flush. I drained and refilled it per the Flush recipe yesterday. Trying to thoroughly Flush them. I was not happy with my last Flush the last go round.
Here are some pictures from yesterday. These were taken before I trimmed the nute burned leaves...
Since posting images is very limited I'm not going to post all the images I have taken since my last post to now
Also the additional work formatting (layout) the page to make it appear (look) properly to you the viewers.
This is the Runt (#1 Bubba Kush).
#2 Bubba Kush with #4 Afghan Kush in the back...
#5 Afghan Kush in the back with many of #5 Bubba Kush "Tops" bowed over forward in the foreground.
This is one of the #5's buds in the foreground of the image above.
While I was in there early this morning trimming things up I noticed some of the buds were darkened. I thought it 'might' be mold. I dug into one of them and it's not rot - it's Purple (they're Purple, not sure how many but at least 3)! These 2 images below are from #2 Bubba Kush.
They are super sticky and smelling amazingly!
Thanks for asking my brother, Lrus!
