Welcome to week 5! Well we are at the beginning of flower, first LST done, second and final LST in the next day or two. Up to full power on nutrients, with a feed/feed/water schedule. Good growth in the last week, I'm thinking these will end up around 22 inches high after training. Not much else to report, been pretty smooth sailing, actually I think almost every grow i've done using maxi bloom, or maxi grow and maxi bloom has been pretty smooth....I use only the maxi bloom on autoflowers, as it has just enough nitrogen, and i'll tell you the results are good, we shall see how much of a difference th sf 2000 makes over the 1000. Until next week, happy growing.
Looking good mate, I think you may have an issue similar to mine, looks like a little too much N causing the cal mag to lock out careful with the calmag as it can contain N.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice, I hope its helpful. Good luck with the rest of your grow ๐๐
@InspireMe,That may be a possibility, I'm using a bloom nutrients for the entire grow, which is low in N, however they started showing pistils at 2 weeks so its possible the N requirement of the plants was quite low after flowering began and maybe a little too much N built up in the medium due to not enough run off during watering. Increasing calcium did make a difference, runoff ph was good. All in all I'm thinking its due to the lower nutrient requirement and early flowering characteristics of this particular strain. I did have a similar thing occur with another early flowering auto strain. It will be interesting to see if the increased runoff makes a difference on the next grow. Thanks for sharing your experience and happy growing.
@Growurownseed, Thanks! I use maxi gro during veg, half gro and half bloom for the first 3 weeks of flower, and then all bloom for the rest of flower. In 2.5 years I've only had to buy 3 small bags of bloom, lasts a long time, fairly cheap, and gets results. Add a good cal-mag like ROOTS and thats really all you need, screw spending hundreds of dollars on nutes, when you really don't need to. Happy growing bro.
