All going well...Pistils retracting, ripening up well and that's it really.
Deciding on whether I should do a really light feed week or drop the feed and use Dragon Force next week...or light feed next week and dragon force the week after (week 9) and Water week 10...the Kush and Wedding Cake is an 8 weeker really but round here, the stonier the better is the order of the day so not as big a deal if they go one a bit more to allow the Strawberry Lemonade to catch up.
That decision also forces me into changing to the Finisher bulb date....a couple of real colour shots be coming again soon!!!
Decision, decisions!!! :P
Happy Growing all!!!
@@@hillman, Cheers sir...hopefully now just pH management and tucking for the next week and then watch them bloom! :P Next time, 1 strain again for only 1 diary though!!! Its a pity I had so many issues at the start of this one with humidity and all...too busy concentrating on nursing them and forgot to do my Time Lapse videos. Will do them again on the next grow! :)
@Grow3rPT, Best thing about it, it was one ofthe lowest EC's I've ran. That leaf took just over a week to get to that size and plant was only under lights 3 weeks (so 5 weeks from seed...still a pup!!!)? I am putting it down to the 6/2 schedule I ran. They had time to rest, dump feed to roots and concentrate on growing and didnt have to be stores for long periods of the day! :)
@Grow3rPT, Much appreciated. Really took to the 6/2 and the Botainicare Kind..they were DEEP green and biggest leaves I've ever had on a plant! Its been one healthy grower!!!
@@hillman, Had a good look there tonight. Plenty of pistils in the growth nodes and the top growth nodes appear to be clustering grand. Seeing as its only 8 days, cold turkey from 6/2 to 12/12, I'd say its looking pretty successful so far so here's hoping to a decent crop! :)
Che belle piante! Stavo cercando informazioni sul ciclo di illuminazione 6/2 e ho trovato il tuo diario. lo sto provando anche io con una autofiorente. Che differenze hai notato nella tua coltivazione?
@Bryankush, Hello, The veg period seemed great. Massive leaves (But I have changed feed this grow so don't have a parallel with a different nutrient line to see if it would do the same). I have never done auto's but I was under the impression if you're going to do them...just batter them with light for as long as you can (i.e. if you can do 24/0...do it! :)). I didnt have any issues going straight to 12/12 either for flower and since you dont have that problem at all, I'd say go for it! It does no harm and the veg stage was as healthy as you like...no issues them taking to it either.
@xbrico, well documented ! Will meditate on this for a while because the idea of a comparative grow (18/6 vs 6/2) has begun to circle. Just for the fun of it if nothing else. Thank´s man, You´ve made my day!
@@@hillman, Hello, I have to say, I am/was curious/skeptical myself about it but thought sod it, was already having a few problems with the start of the other plants so thought could do no more damage! :P So far though, its actually quite good. The leaf mass seems higher - all plants have some gorilla hand leaves on them. This one went in as healthy as possible and seems to be thriving!!!
The logic is supposed to be is no one *really* knows at what point in any light cycle the plant's photosynthesis saturates the leaves with sugar....is it 14hrs, 16, 18....nothing really can say (no mater what weedspert pops their head up!!! :P) and it could be totally plant specific (as in to the plant, in that 1 pot, not the breed/strain or the other plants of the same breed in the other pots in your tent) or if it even does saturate. On the dark cycle, the plant sends the sugars to the roots to help fuel and power their growth - that's always known. This cycle is supposed to ensure there is never "saturation" or "wasted photosynthesis". It regularly gets to dump the sugars to the roots which should in turn, give better growth as the roots are always well fed with sugars to grow, which in turn allows the plant better uptake more nutes on the light cycle.
There also naysayers to say "its not natural, its evolved over millions of years to do this in this way...". Difference I see is with an indoor grow, you've turned it into the Truman Show. You control every aspect of how it lives and it only really knows what you tell it (apart from how to eat and breathe!).
Cheers for the like/follow and I hope we both get something good out of this grow! :)
** Update ** - trying a flush. Not pure tap water but close. Added 60ml pure blend tea, 50ml active boost, 50ml fulvic and 50ml Sensizym to a 50L tank. Probs add 5ml ATA Clean just to start to cleaning process too. Last days now!!! :)
Edit - Added PK Warrior in the end, but very little compared to recommended...added at 0.2ml/L as opposed to the 0.5-1ml/L (1ml/L usually used the 1st week [week 4] and then 0.5 for the following 3 weeks).
