how long to harvest after frosty buds usually?
- Thread starter jrelax
- Start date
the best thing to do for now would to just be patient
the flowers are growing new clusters and need time to reach their best
it dosent sound like you are doing anything wrong,but if the breeder says 9wk, then let it go at least 9wk and see what you have
/at one point they will stop adding new growth but swell up and get really fat, thats when you are close

hi
i do 18h light first 2-4 weeks
then 12h
my timer is perfect.
i have harvest before, i wait the time breeder says
and sometimes more.
Problem is that buds are not frosty at all then.
They are wery frosty and nice week 5-6 in flower
after 8weeks no frost left at all.
I want frosty plants week 8-10, how can i make it?
Have try 4-5 different strains, all same problem.
What to do ? want keep them frosty alway in harvest at 8-10 weeks , they only stay frosty week 4-6 in flower.
Almost green week 7, totally green no frost at all week 8
hmmmmmmm

Just this guy, ya know?
You're actually losing trichomes? That sounds like it might be an overheating issue to me.

You haven't really given us that much to go off mate.
What soil mix and what feed dosage/regularity?
What temperatures/humidity? What pH?
You might be horrifically overfeeding them causing pH issues or vice versa.
A picture would tell a 1000 words as well.

This combined with high humidity I would guess.

No you aren't a loser bro, everybody starts some place and learns. 
Do you mean 45-55C above the plants?? That is too hot!!!! They should never go above 35C, otherwise what happens to you can happen, literally evaporate away your terpenes and trichomes! Do you have a way to vent the heat? It is very good to have an exhaust fan. The rule of thumb is to exhaust your grow at least every 3 minutes I think. Also if english is not your first language, you might be more comfortable asking in the Danish sub-forum at https://www.icmag.com/ic/forumdisplay.php?f=65575 I hope we can get this figured out for you.

Hi again.
been grow 5 times 2years
4-5 different strains.
Always the same problem. I loose my frost always to early
Soil 70% 15% coco 15% perlite
Fetilizers= different kits
biobizz full line, canna , oldmans
been trying different pots, airpots, roundpots, square pots 10-15lite
MH400w first weeks
600w hps dualspec midle
600w hps red philips last weeks
40-60cm abowe plant tops
PH is ok, i always let all water steep 24h before doing nutrientmix, or just normal watering
tempratures are ok.
Humidy i dont know, is that very important know?
maybe i need buy meter?
I always have watered towel in veg. in the growroom.
the plants look greater and greater every grow, nice color.
now i can handle the cal/mag and PK better
Everything seems good, the only fuking problem is i loose my frost too early.
Agent pothead thanks 4 the link, i will read there tomorrow.
MY ENGLISH sucks . Been reading and reading, trying so hard.
What is the secret here ?
what about triclone boosters?
Bud Factor X | Resin & Trichomes Enhancer | Advanced Nutrients.
Can this maybe help?

Ahh gotcha I misunderstood cm as temperature! Do you know the temperatures besides "ok"? And it's always good to have hygrometer, they aren't expensive but very handy to measure humidity. And don't sweat your english, it's infinitely better than my danish 
I have never run trich boosters but maybe somebody who has can poke their head in.
I have never run trich boosters but maybe somebody who has can poke their head in.Their is no reason to use enhancers. Mostly just a waste of money. How often are you watering?
Are you checking your ph? Your ph should be around 6 after nutes are mixed. Got some ph drops they work well and are cheap. Ph is very important, not something to guess about.
Are you using full strength nutes? Try 1/2 strength.
Pk13/14 should only be used for week 3 or 4, try just base nutes. Addatives are for advanced growers.
Cal mag is usually used in veg and 2 weeks in to flower.
Are you getting burnt leaves , yellowing, claw?
