Nth cultivation test 💪

I'm with Gregor ⬆️ on this Salva.
Good example here was a Mango Haze female from my last pheno hunt. Looked hairy with no trichomes for a long time and turned out to be one of the most fragrant and resinous.
Key is to have low Nitrogen, 10 hours on and light intensity not at max to help them ripen up.
Patience is key with these sats!

Example, Mango Haze @71 days of flowering:

Same female @101 days:

She could have gone longer but clearly a big difference!
So no worries Salva.
Check out my thread on the Mango Haze and Neville's Haze Mango so see how I did it for the last weeks.

thanks for this Swifty! Great example too as those buds turned such a nice silver from the trich coverage
 
Well, here we have them with 12 weeks of flowering. 12 weeks almost nothing haha. Today I put them at 10/14 as my friend @Swifty said. On Sunday I will fertilize them for the last time. The following weeks I will water them with 0'4-0'5ec. I guess they have 2 or 3 weeks left, I don't know. I'm surprised the leaves turned yellow so quickly, they've been like this for several weeks. I don't know why when I have fertilized them well. Let's see how they evolve, this would still have to change a lot...

Is the smell picking up?

Well, I would say no. I open the closet and it smells practically nothing. It just has a very slight smell, I don't know what. And I don't see it having much resin either. I touch it and it's not sticky. It looks like an ear of corn

Something seems off, never seen this before Salva.

Can you take a picture from a bud more upclose with light shining on the buds (flashlight) in order to see the trichomes?
Your medium seems decent, what did you feed them in flower?
 
Well, I have seen this many times. Well, the feeding during flowering, I continued adding root stimulator until the third week and the base flowering fertilizer, with a silicon supplement. From there I added a product for the roots a couple of times plus a PK52-34 in minimum doses that they gave me, plus another trace element product that they also gave me, plus a product with algae and another with sugars.

Thanks for the pics Salva, I see sativa buds with decent trichomes (some good to very and some less) but they are far from ready yet.
I also noticed glossy sugar leaves with, more than enough N. Those sativa's don't need it much and it will certainly not help them to end flower.

Your soil and nutes seem ok but I have learned that with these sativa's less is more.
A solid base flower fert and some algae/sugars should be al they need.

For now I would only give water and pherhaps a light algae/sugar mix (if it does not have N in it) and ride it out.
I would expect that some will be more ready in 2 weeks and other more like 4 weeks.

Be patient, It will certainly improve and I hope it will blow you away in the end!

Hi, Salva, have you been scoping the trichome heads, for their amber development? - FF

What I see is that in 2 weeks since the last photos practically nothing has changed. And it seems very strange to me that this genetics takes so long. I'm going to give them 2 more weeks and cut them as they are.

Ok, then for your next grow, it's advisable to have a tool for up close viewing of the colour change in the triche heads; i.e. capitate stalked trichomes on flower, not the leaves. That is the best way to determine your harvest time.

I own 4 different ones, none of which I'm totally satisfied with. The next one won't be a "budget" scope. A good quality Jeweller's Loop will do the job but you can't take a photo with it, to share on the Forum. There are plenty of options out there, to select from. Here's a couple of them:

It goes without saying that in this "long game," patience is key.

Cheers! - FF 😎👍🏻
