Cured for a few weeks before trying out. Very energetic strain for me, a go-to for wake and bake with a wonderful taste, although I wouldn't advise in the evening.

I might have overdone it with these, but will in future follow a schedule advised for autoflowers.

It was a learning experience, the biggest revelation when I harvested at the end and discovered pretty poor root development. I suspect my little and often approach to watering contributed to this. At any rate, I feel more equipped for any future attempts.

Generally not one to encounter an issue in life and immediately ask for a personalised answer, but having trawled through the various websites and found explanations for this sort of thing from 'nothing to worry about' to mites and everything in between, I've gotta ask!

Hi there! We're missing some crucial informations here : do you check your Ec/Ppm and pH levels every time you feed them? If so, what was your last measurements? What feeding schedule are you following? Do you let the soil dry between waterings/feedings? I'm also using Biobizz and I always seriously decrease nitrogen doses (BioGrow) when blooming has begun, like 1ml/L only a couple of days during the stretch, then I completely stop using BioGrow. Also, Alg-a-mic should preferably be used as a foliar spray (at night), especially when you're having nutrients issue. As an emergency move, I would flush the roots for a couple of days, remove dead leaves and try to lower down the day temperature by 2 or 3 degrees. I'll be around, keeps us up-to-date, good luck with these beauties!

Dude,trust me,any of the response given with too many detailed info like EC/TDS,foliar sprey or emergency flush are gonna make you worry more about a non-important subject.Your plant looks great and lively.Just don't break its move.Grow nutrients seem a bit high for this point of flowering.I would lower it to exact ZERO gradually.Other than that,I see no signs of deficiency or a problem.Of course,I'm not an expert but I get experience day by day,I read a lot about growing marijuana.What I learned up until now is that you should only pay attention to TEMPERATURE,HUMIDITY,pH and AIR CIRCULATION.If these conditions are met,chances are you will have great buds.No need to confuse your mind.I see your humidity is good at this point,day temps are very good and night temps are good as well.My Mexican Airlines grow just finished yesterday.If I showed you how it looked towards the end,you would be highly surprised.All leaves were dead but I know that it's a pretty normal thing.My friend watered them with pure water ONLY ONCE in their lifespan and they drank all the nutes left in their leaves.But I knew,they were super healthy until that point and they still grew super buds after afterwards.As experts frequently say to me,it's just a weed,no need to worry.If you meet TEMPS,HUMIDITY,pH and AIR CIRCULATION right,it'll already reach its potential.Other than that,it's just a matter of science.We are not scientists,so we grow weed the way we like.If the plant looks good,don't worry.If it has problems,it's not going to be hard to notice.

@Slowking,I see you went organic through whole grow.If you started flushing,just go with plain water is what I would advise.Your leaves look pale colour,that means you'll get smooth smoke.All nutrients left in there are getting derived by the plant itself.

Slowkingcommented7 years ago
@909HighRoller, alright man that has relaxed me a little bit, haha. one more thing I'll ask is do you think I should just continue on with plain water for the remainder, or one last -small- feed for the home stretch?
HighRoller909
HighRoller909commented7 years ago
@Slowking,your plant already started to mature.Look at those pale green leaves.These are the signs that you are already very closeThere are still plenty of white pistils sticking out straight and buds still need to get mass,this means it's early for harvest.Look at those little bags that shoot out pistils,they are called calyxes.What we call "buds" is a group of calyxes around the same stem.They are still small.Once I see at least half of pistils are brown and curled and some milky trichomes,I get that I'm very close and wait 1 or 2 more weeks.You'll probably be ready to harvest at week 10 or week 11.Normally,I wait for almost all milky trichomes for most THC,don't prefer ambers.Trichomes should look almost all milky until end of week 11,that's an estimation of course,not a strict info.I'm a newbie too but I can understand what is a premature bud.Yours need a little more time.Experience is the most important thing in growing plants in my opinion.Time is passing by,patience and you'll get a great energetic sativa.And your plant looks really good. You won't harvest late btw,don't worry lol it's %100 guaranteed.

@Slowking, Nothing better than your own homegrown, and you know its clean.. that piece of mind alone makes it worth it, even if you have to make hash,dab, oils or whatever with it and you would never find bud with trich's like that on the street. she looks great.

@AfricanGreen, cheers mate, not sure what to expect but expect I'll prefer it to most of the crap you get on the street!

HighRoller909commented7 years ago
@Slowking,cool! happy for you bro! Enjoy your harvest.You did what I did,chop at cloudy and most brown pistils.After drying and one week in jar,you'll get its true smell and taste.I'm smoking it right now 👌

Slowkingcommented7 years ago
@909HighRoller, Hey man, did it today. There was some temptation to leave it a bit longer, but with all the trichomes cloudy and most of the pistils brown, I figured this was the composition I was after. I have a Fastbuds GSC that I started at the same time which I'm leaving for another week or two, so will be interested to see the effect that extra time has!

they start to grow nicely, the ladies look good;) wondering how our plants develop against each other, since we started around the same period. interesting to compare different genetics with each other. happy growing bro!

@Slowking This is not a facetious question- I have never understood (maybe because I’ve never personally had the need) scrog. You say it may or may not need scrog please define the criteria when you need it. Thanks I’m of these beliefs; 1 a slight breeze from a fan strengthens stems 2 stems leaning over because of flower weight is simply the plant LSTing itself

Can't wait man! I'm still waiting for you to update your MA diary with harvest info though 😉 I've been thinking about Blue Dream'matic next like you have done, as well as perhaps the Rhino Ryder. You got any planned?
HighRoller909
HighRoller909commented7 years ago
@Slowking, sorry dude it didn't drop on my notificitation as you replied to your own diary :D I'm gonna update my MA diary in a couple of days,I'm out of town. Blue Dream is a potent one,mine is indica dominant.I would have liked to get its sativa version as well but no problem,very good autoflower.Would I recommend? Yes,definitely. Very good high.I don't know much about Rhino Ryder but I would lie if I said I don't have any interest on it.Pineapple Express is such a waste of time for me,it is all empty,no high.Blackberry is a very good indica,really good,I would simply recommend if you look for indica.Gorilla Glue is a very potent one as well but may take 14-15 weeks. I think I'll grow photoperiods from now on.Enough autflowering for me,I got the basics of growing.Looking for strains at the moment and I already got a list.

growdoctor, no offense taken. I'm new at this so not 100% sure about what I do. I decided to put it together in advance knowing I have quite limited height to grow into. it's intended as a containment measure if needed. thanks for your input!
