Still moving ahead quickly, #2 has an interesting deformation going on but its almost like natural LST creating multiple tops so we will just let her go and see how she turns out. Increased ArmorSi to full strength but no other changes.
Still moving ahead vigorously, one plant has already shown pistils just waiting on #2 to pop. Did some light defoliation of some larger fan leaves and unnecessary older undergrowth before we go into flower officially. Not much else to report, probably start feeding lightly here in the next couple weeks of early flower.
Looking good so far, as you can see both plants have shown pistils now. Started feeding at about half doses to assist with the stretch into flower. Still moving along nicely, defoliated a solid amount of the leaves to get some better lighting on the underexposed tops.
All going great, full steam ahead. WC1 is already putting on some weight and they're getting more and more thirsty everyday it seems like. Also increased the feed to near full strength as we get into the more intense flowering.
Growing autos.. one started forming larger calyxes and so I squeezed and opened a few and I found what I believe is undeveloped seeds. Not forsure bc Im a little new to this but if so I have another plant in the same tent.. should I chop them both?? Thanks
Thats an ovary or ovule.. whatever... Female sex gamete compliment to pollen. No worries.
pollen sacs extend from a twig and has no white hair-like projection. When mature they will open up and what looks like a ring of bananas will plop out... these dispense pollen. often refered to as "nanners"... will be yellow when mature. May also see "nanners" in buds by themselves or in a similar cluster.. The isolated ones are less risk than any cluster. Tweeze nanners out anytime you find 1...
if only a single here or there, you'll be fine.. maybe find a couple seeds here or there but not a big deal..... a full pollen sac or cluster is more productive and is a big deal... one closter can potentiall pollenate entire area.
Calyxes have no twig projection and have a white hair sticking out. This will never have pollen production. You may find an ovary at base of hairlike projection if you disect it.
Grown this strain before and had the same issue.. not sure if its a CalMag deficiency entirely. pH has remained at 6.0-6.5 or so in soil and didnt show signs until recently, seemed to have worsened after just two days of only CalMag and Ro water so I bumped up the bloom nutes.
After doing some research on VPD I believe I may have a to low of a VPD which is resulting in my "calcium deficiency".. after increasing my ppms of CalMag to around 500 and no improvements but got much worse I figured it had to be another issue. I found a few articles explaining how humidity is relative to calcium transport in the plant this may be the issue.. hopefully.
Having some issues with WC1 and Calcium.. initially thought I had a deficiency but even after increasing the doses of CALiMAGic and still no improvements I found a few articles relating Calcium transport and low VPD to potentially causing Calcium deficiency look alike issues which I believe is the case here. Increased the humidity and still giving a little extra CALiMAGic just for extra precaution. Other than that everything seems to being moving along nicely.
Still having problems with calcium in one way or another but I can figure out exactly what it is or how to fix it. My plants in my other tent have also begun to show signs of rust spots in the leaves. Other than the spots everything is great, buds look amazing and trichomes are sparkling.
Cal excess or Mag problem? My Blueberry and Wedding Cake Autos are now spotting in new and old growth. Even at 8ml/gal CALiMAGic for a couple weeks no improvements. feeding nutes with two days of just calmagic RO water in between with runoff about 0.5 gal daily in FFOF soil
You are experiencing potassium deficiency not cal mag issues. Potassium and phosphorus deficiency. They both have too much nitrogen in flowering as well. Nutrition burn on the one plant. In flowering your npk ratio is 1-2-3 for what your plant needs. Good luck and happy growing 🌱
Once again I think I've figured out my leaf issues but I'm not for sure.. I believe it may have had something to do with having Calimagic every time I watered including with the base nutrients. So I have been doing nutrients one day and Calimagic the next day. Leaf damaged has seemingly slowed and changing up the nutrient mix has helped as well. Buds are looking tasty cant wait.
Not a whole lot going on other than packing on the weight. Buds are growing daily, leaves are still slowly continuing with their issues but we are close to harvest and hopefully the end product isn't affected by the issues we've had. Looks and smells good though.
Buds are looking good, really just bulking all they can. Started to flush WC1 and plan to just flush it 3 weeks and the WC2 for 2 weeks because its about a week behind and Ill need the tent for a good cure but they're just about ready.
Started flushing both plants on 11/29, expect to harvest on the 11th or 12th of December. Trichomes are milky with ambering in WC1 so we are starting the flush on WC2 slightly early because we need the space to dry. Looking great though, very smelly and dense buds.
Only given RO water for the past week for WC2 although, WC1 has been flushing for two weeks so I think today will be their last day of watering and then chop them down due to a little unwanted foxtailing in WC2 and the light pulled back. Before chop theyll have a short period in the dark. Probably not going to have another update for a couple of weeks until the drying process is complete though. Both plants are purpling with WC1's being more intense, and the sparkling trichomes is beautiful stuff excited to try them.
This run was amazing, produced the best buds I've ever grown. Well.. it being only my second grow, just looking to improve the quality each run and I did that this time. Made it past 1gram per watt this go around, so we past the yield expectations but Id still like to grow some better Wedding Cake one of these days. But this cake did not disappoint looking forward to the next one already.
