So this week we will focus on health of the ladies. Plant A has yellowed significantly over the last 2 weeks, some say it's genetics while others say it's nutrient deficiencies.
Because of this I have altered the water regimen slightly with halfof the watering coming from the top and the other half being subirrigation method. The thought is to deliver nutrients to the basin from water trickling through the medium and ending in the basin while the medium is also freeing up nutrients for the roots closer to the top. We will see if this helps.
Tricomes are all clear and only a few are milky/cloudy we have a few weeks left for Plant A, Plant C is only clear Tricomes.
I feel I neglect the health and ultimately
the relevance of Plant C. She is a beautiful Pheno that has withstood pests and overwatering, underwatering, and getting put in a back corner. She actually has the best bouquet as of now and the stacking of the buds is so much tighter than Plant A. Overall both will be great flower, but Plant C will be the better of the two in my opinion if flavor matches scent.
--- UPDATE ---
DAY 3 OF WEEK 9... We had a problem with Temps, it has reached 110°f outside and inside Temps spiked to 95°f in the tent. We had to move the tent inside. In the process I accidentally bent a main stem and I now have it propped against another main stem. Will be monitoring closely. Temps inside now are back to 78°f and max of 83°f.
--UPDATE--
DAY 5 OF WEEK 9... So after moving the plants and relocating to a new location all together the girls are experiencing better Temps and all around conditions. The main stalk of Plant A is in need of a splint. 2 stalks have now bent but are splinted upright. She is close to harvest and getting heavy, and I caught the stalk bends fast enough that they should continue to grow.
Plant C got a decent cleanup of the canopy however she's showing signs of TMV not sure if this is exactly what has happened but it is plausible.
@TragicTerps, I just updated it to week 8.. I changed to 12/12 couple nights ago ..yea there’s a couple pistils here and there..mainly on the main stem
@xTherapy_Growingx, very possible they could be photos, I just seen the pictures on your diary and it looks like it's trying to bud up and I seen some pistils on the lower branch pictures. Very curious nonetheless.
@TragicTerps, right I feel u I’m glad its taking long but confused cus I see everyone’s else’s critical purps flower on week 5..I just switched my lights to 12/12 I’m thinking I got photos here
@DoDrugs420, it was easy to manage and grow just wish the Temps wouldn't have gotten so high here it really did some damage and stressed them out. Pretty much made an auto go back to veg. Lol all is good nonetheless and I'm thankful for all the love on this grow!
Bonitas flores.
Te recomiendo subir la humedad y bajar la temperatura del sustrato.😉
En floración no es recomendable pulverizar las flores, los nutrientes también lo absorven por las hojas.
@fraankiiee, good info I have noticed the Temps spike I can't do too much at the moment as it's in the triple digits outside and it's in my garage. But I'll do my best.
im growing growers choice seeds critical purple auto, but mine are not doing as well as yours did. im at the last day of week two . any advice? please!!!
@jkeats, yeah for sure. So I would say it ultimately came down to my medium. They did really well in an organic amended medium and were left alone after training. I made sure to keep the light schedule the same as a photo period and then checked the strains preferred climate and replicated it to the best of my ability. In early veg I had the light about 22inches at 85% shooting for 560 PAR autos tend to preflower week 4 or 5 and then you'll have to control that stretch by cranking up the intensity or dropping the light down. It was important for these ladies to get adequate dark period too. Be sure to check the strains preferred flowering environment.
Outside all of this, I kept the medium at 5.6ph and watered in at 7.0 figured the balance would be 6 4 or so and I did stunt growth because of it. So if you have an acidic medium water in at a ph around 6.4 and that will do her.
Outside of that it's just a matter of trying to truly replicate nature my guy. Cheers!
