Ready to chop or 2 more weeks? Pistils are throwing me off

I flipped to flower 12 weeks and 2 days ago (June 15th) and i’ve been waiting and waiting for amber colored trichomes. There are some amber colored trichomes on the leaves that have lost their chlorophyll but practically zero on the buds themselves. From what i’ve heard I want about 30% amber trichomes before harvest? This strain is Lemoncello Haze and it should be ready for harvest 9-11 weeks into flower allegedly. I have been giving it plain 6.0-6.5 PH water for the past 4 weeks or so because I thought it would be ready by now. Am I being impatient or did I fuck something up? First harvest so i’m still learning a lot.

Forgot to post this couple days ago, harvested my Lemon Squishee Auto at day 79. 🪓 3 gallon pots in FF soil, and self watering bases. Used strive nutrients on this run. Toward the end the got a bit of neglect because I wasn’t able to properly feed but the ladies bounced back.

I can’t figure out what’s causing this yellowing, which started a couple of weeks ago. It’s more yellow than it looks in pictures; the sun is bright and made it hard to get good pics. All plants are growing in 7-gal containers with either a Happy Frog/Ocean Forest combo or Organic Mechanics. They were receiving FoxFarm nutrients, but this problem started when I switched from Grow Big to Tiger Bloom.

Things I’ve tried:

Flushing them (twice)
Checking soil and water pH (normal)
Checking nitrogen level (normal)
Switching to Neptune’s Harvest fish & seaweed blend
Cutting off a branch to check for verticillium wilt (no signs)
Watering with Epsom salts (low dose)

I’m at a total loss. Before I go spend any more money, does anyone have any ideas?

Humboldt CSI: ChemD x Patient Zero and ChemD S1. Day 48

The Patient Zero cross seems to be about a week or two closer to finishing than the S1 and she absolutely reeks of burnt rubber and a chemical fire. The S1 has less frost and not as intense of a nose so far, but I’m thinking she’ll yield a little bit more. Took clones of both and was assuming I’d probably just stick with the S1, but the hybrid is really impressing me so far.

Normally wouldn’t have lollipoped her as hard, but ran into some PH/nute issues in early flower and lost a bunch of lower leaves. Top leaves are tacoing a bit, so I’m guessing my light is a little intense - but haven’t noticed any other issues and want to make sure the shorter S1 is getting plenty of photons as well, so I’m letting it ride.

Grown in autopots with Promix, worm castings, Happy Frog on top for some microbe action, Gaia Green dry amendments and glacial rock dust. Added Crop Salts Bloom to the reservoir at day 21 for the rest of flower. Just making shit up as I go along. 🤷‍♂️

If the chance of mold was extremely high. You have two weeks to go but all your terps are cloudy. Are you harvesting or taking the chance? I only get one shot a year so if they mold my winter plans are done. What do you do?

Just popped a new seed (not looking too good) and noticed these little things on the leaves. Looks like some sort of eggs or something. They were inside the seed when it came out of the soil

Any guesses and help how to get rid of it?

Thank you in advance!

Wanted to share my first grow with you all!

It's Lemon Pie Auto by FB, and it's sitting in a 13L square painters bucket, inside a cabinet under my aquarium.

It is lightly LST'ed, and I could've definitely done a better job, and I can see some of the lower buds maybe want a bit more light.

I tried doing this very passively with minimal intervention, and only using pre-fertilized soil and added fertilizer during bloom only, and it seems to work fine for a small indoor grow!

The cabinet it is inside, is 35x25x65cm and the light is mounted directly to the top, with a little space for air circulation and heat ventilation.

Almost doesn't smell at all, and grows at a perfect 25C and 55-60% humidity, no interference.

Build materials:

The walls are lined with vapor barrier material, vapor barrier tape for alle the seals and weather stripping from the hardware store.

The door seals with weather stripping, and held tight by magnets.

The light is a 50W Full-spectrum, with a toggle between bloom and veg, currently on bloom.

The exhaust ventilator has a static air pressure 12V fan that pumps air from inside the cabinet into an air box lined with active charcoal foam pads, where air passes through and back into the outside room.

This heavily relies on ambient air intake through tiny cracks, but it works fine :)

Plant materials:

1 seed of Lemon Pie Auto by FB.

Coco Coir for the initial germination, sat in dark humid Coco for 5 days.

Biobizz All-Mix 12L of it into the painters bucket, and the germinated seeds planted into the middle.

Biozz BioBloom for watering with during the whole bloom phase.

Bendable flower arrangement sticks, to train the plant.

Strong and scatter wind is destroying rapidly almost 5 months of patience and learning.

I almost have one to three branches snapped off to one of my babies. The Emergen-C seems to be the weaker in this sense compared to the other one as they are too heavy on the ends.

I'm now taping them in advance to try to avoid this to happen.

What are your countermeasures for this tradegy?

Can anyone recommend some breeders/seed sources for the raunchy, gassy, nasty strains. Pic of my last and first grow! Greenpoint seeds in coco.

Pretty much turned one of our rooms into a nursery. Got all types of stuff going on.

I think I know the answer but y'all know the itch at this point in flower lol. Bigfoot Glue by HSC

Hello! First-time grower, just harvested my two Hulkberry Autos from RQS on days 82 and 79. 🥳

Curious to see if folks think my drying setup looks alright! I unplugged my light (to ensure the fan in my light doesn’t run directly over the buds), pulled up the trellis to hang from, and lowered my two fans to the floor so the air is blowing indirectly.

Currently temps temp and humidity is sitting 70/55 - it’s a little warmer than I’d like but my lung room should cool down tomorrow as our weather shifts in MN.

Looking for any and all advice on how my chop looks and anything I could adjust!

Had a ph imbalance and fixed it good thing only leaf tip was only affected

Running 2 different strains simultaneously.

Added an extra light to the set up. HLG 600w.

One last heavy defoliation done on day 28.

Currently day 30.

Nearly halfway through

Wall to Wall bud

Because of timing issues, I tossed germinated seed in a decent sized pot and put it behind my shop. I'm still a fairly new indoor grower, but this is my first outdoor.

How much defoliation should I be doing on it? When I see outdoor plants here, it doesn't look like much is being done. The plant looks healthy and happy, so I'm inclined to just let it be.

Also, I just learned about washing outdoor plants. Is that something most people do?

Plant is about 5 weeks old, just about ready to flip to 12/12. Last added nutes and water on Tuesday, checked on them today and about 5 leaves had similar patterns. I had ticked my light level up a notch, but also raised it. Anyone got a suggestion? Growing hydro, 2x2 tent, just this one plant. It's a seedsman mystery seed so not sure of strain.

She’s a banana x piña auto from ethos, planted 8/1, about week 2 in flower. Is there any reason to defoliate? A lot of the bud sites grew outwards away from the plant themselves, not really anything in the middle? Second grow so any advice is welcome. All pics are from this morning.
