Fed them last monday with a potassium fertilizer (vinasse) and bonemeal, after doing so I found out I found out it was way more per square meter than prescribed, made a calculation error between spoons and cups, yesterday I removed the top three centimeters of soil after seeing a couple of leafs with burned tips, and noticing that a coloration difference between the veins appeared, good lesson, next year, if any additional nutrients for flowering, I will start earlyer, and gradual, weighing the nutrients before adding.
Did some watering after the feading but I noticed that the ton of clay and the benthonite clay from cat litter are working well, the sandier parts of the garden are bone dry, and the parts with added clay seem to hold water very well! The main reason for adding clay and cat litter was to keep nutrients longer in the garden.
Today I accidentally snapped the top meter of the maincola😢( I have to stand on a chair and bend her down to inspect the top and with my phone in the other hand I was being clumsy in a ghust of wind
I rightened it with a bamboo stick and tape, I can't notice the difference from my kitchen window, 😀 Very curious what she is going to do.
What I see is that the pistils are rapidly colouring, but still hardly any trichomes, way less than I seem to remember from previous years. I am very curious what the top of my plant looks like when I come back, see if the buds above the crack are developing differently, and my wishfull thinking says that maybe she is going to roduce loads of THC after this traumatic experience.
Weather forecasts are nothing special for the time of year, rather average, and no really bad nor really good weather forecasted. Air humidity will be rather high, but I hope this strain is as mo(u)ld resistant as promised.!! (edit 22h38)

Growing in the ground / Flowering nutrition.
Someone told me that when flowering starts plants need different nutrition, my plants are growing directly in the ground (no watering needed this year), Can it help to give extra Potassium and Phosfor? Plants look perfectly healthy.

Growing in the ground you have a huge beneficial eco system and nutrition from various sources - I would top dress with some Guano or some other PK booster (but low doses) and maybe water in some low dose organic outdoor bloom booster on subsequent feeds. It is unlikely you will need it but epsom on standby.
You may even be able to get your soil properly tested and they can give you approximate contents which is great for growing (anything) outdoors.
After this season you can amend the soil around and effectively build your own supersoil in the garden (that what I am aiming to do in the new house for next year!).

¿Can molds from compost heaps jump to the buds of my plant or are the moulds and funghi in a heap of decaying weeds different species than the funghi responsible for bud rot?

Certain species are more or less tough towards different mold or fungi or bacteria etc. But infected compost can jump to plants, yes.

You are still a way of mate. Possibly up to 7 weeks left. You might be lucky and it be ready in another 4 weeks. I hope the climate where you live will hold out until it finishes.
Agricola_Borealisstarted grow question 3 years ago
Would It be helpfull to use some kind of PK booster for plants standing in the ground? And what? Apply liquid fertilizer? Soil is probably packed with nitrogen. Plants are big and green. Would it increase speed of bud growth? Applying solid fertilizers would be late I guess.

Have a look at my huge girls. Their all fed Massive Bloom Formulation. I swear by this stuff. All natural, made from bees. Best I have found since I started to use bloom boosters. Did a clone side by side comparison to no booster, the plant with massive bloom formulation, through out an ounce and a half more than her sister, with bigger harder nugs, and the girl with the booster tasted much nicer than without. Cheers

Yep Bro, you can add PK nutes in the irrigating water. Looking at you plants they seem to have all they need. IMO you are doing well and balanced until now.When the plant will need something she will be the one to tell you, yellowing and discoloring the bottom canopy (which in any case would turn yellow due to senescence).
Balance is the trick!

For organic PK booster you might wanna try Bac PK boosterb maybe some biobizz top max or some guanos, kelp (dry or liquid) or even banana tea :)

I see a lot of pistils, but still very few trichomes, while the pistils seem to change colour allready, seems different from last year when buds were very leafy but those little leafs were full of trichomes. Is this going to change?

You are only a couple of weeks into flower, be patient young jedi, the trichomes will come :)
If your pistils are browning very quickly all over the plant well before it is ready you may have been pollenated so just keep an eye on your seed bracts to look out for seeds.

The best way to tell when your plant is ready to harvest is by looking at the trichomes. Use 60x magnification or better. A USB microscope or a jewelers loupe will work well. When all the trichomes are milky with a small percentage of amber ones it's ready to harvest. The percentage of amber trichomes is completely personal preference. I harvest my I divas when all the trichomes are milky with about 10% amber and I harvest my Sativas when there's about 15%-20% amber.

Just some curiosity, but how does photoperiodic marihuana grow in the tropics where the light is allways about 12/12?

Chow_13answered grow question 3 years ago
They go to flower right away. look at SOG grows( not SCROG ). Most will be 12/12 from seed. This grows small plants since they veg for 2-3 weeks and then start to flower.
But for outdoor grow with a 12/12 sun schedule growers will do one of 2 things if they want larger plants.
1. Grow indoors then bring them outside to flower
2. Add a supplemental light at the end of the day to keep the plant in veg then stop the supplemental light when they want to flower.

Olá amigo, eu acho que a planta de cannabis em si é uma planta que se adapta às várias regiões no mundo e vários horários de luz. Por isso ela por ela própria entra em floração.
Eu acho que também a países muitos frios e que tem poucas horas de luz mas os cultivos são bons :)
Mas é uma boa questão irmão. Abraço

I read a trick for indoor growers to give the plants 36 hours of darkness before switching the light schedule to 12 / 12 to kickstart flowering. Would it be a good idea to do this outside, just at the moment that they give the first sign of flowering?

Chow_13answered grow question 3 years ago
No the reason for this is indoor your doing a sudden switch from XX/XX to 12/12 and by giving the extended darkness your "Convincing" the plant its now time to flower. Where outdoor its a gradual change to 12/12. If you are already seeing flowering then she is flowering.

I once heard about 36 or 48 hours of darkness before harvesting, but my plants are standing in the ground. But.....you can keep branches alive for ages in a bucket of water. Now some branches I did not trim yesterday seem to get frostier.

Chow_13answered grow question 3 years ago
No don't keep them alive in a bucket of water, You will want to harvest right before the sun rises. The reason for the darkness is during the day the plant collects energy from the sun. At night any leftover energy is used up. It will help with the curing process as the plant is not full of energy that has to break down. But it is not worth the hassle for the amount of gain you get. Nothing has been proven scientifically yet. There have been studies that show both yes and no answers. Every study I have seen that is more then 36h darkness has had either no effect or negative effects. Tests that have been done for 18-24h have shown the best results if any.

This year pistils darkened fast, some said my ladies might have been pollinated, others said itwas the wet (western Europe) weather, but now that I am smoking I find about 1 seed every gram of weed, just curious to know how many seeds other people find in their "sin semilla."

I did not have enough characters left to state that both of my plants were straight female, and that the neighbours growing on their balconies are very experienced growers, so I find it very improbable that my Femkes have been pollinated from there.

@Kitties_and_Colas, Nice to hear that they held out well!, Here aweather improvement is in the forecast for tomorrow afternoon onwards, and hopefully I can harvest during a period of sunny weather. This time of year can be anything, from balmy indian summer to cold windy showers with ice grains and everything...
