Welcome to week 9! ran into some light stress on plant 2 (her main stem is a bit higher than everything else), so I moved the light up to 20 inches to keep my coverage good, I left power where it was. Also ran into a bit of calcium deficiency, I start adding cal mag once flowering starts, sometimes the 1tsp per gallon is good, sometimes they need more, depends on the strain...either way I upped cal mag to 2tsp per gallon, I will use that amount for the rest of flower, except for the last week or so. Aside from all that shit, they are doing pretty good, buds stacking up nicely, a few pistils starting to change, good trichome production, everything seems to be on track for a week 13 or 14 harvest, but we shall see. Well until next week, do what you do, with what you got. Peace.
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.
