They seem to have stopped stretching and are now focusing on the buds. Very odd coloration happening on the leaves of the left plant. I'm thinking it's either a calcium deficiency or a manganese deficiency. Either way the buds are developing nicely still. Right is looking great right now, save for a few spider mites I had to squish earlier last week.
Nice and frosty at 5th week of flower. If all goes well with both of these girls, I'll be harvesting them at the end of January. I'll definitely give them a bud washing b/c I found mites.
Update 1/2/22: okay I've got a few notes to make on the progress as a whole. So after topping right, it seems like she started producing flowering hormones right after. While left focused on stretching for like a week more. Right has fat, compact and frosty buds- shaped like golf balls. Left has spire-shaped buds, not AS dense(still dense though, mind you), and less frost. So I'm thinking left is staggered behind right by about a week. Since this is week 5, we'll be able to tell just how far ahead she is by week 8.
Plants look great, really green and healthyπ
Question?
If these plants are autos? Why the switch to a 12/12
light schedule? Just thinking you will lose alot of yeild
this way as autos don't need the light flipped to 12 hrs a day.
It's like your taking 6 hrs of bud building away from your plants.
I like running 18/6, just so the plants get a little rest at lights out.
I had to ask the question, inquiring minds would like to know..
Have a great day!!!
@northernMike, Oh yeah, I've used them as a resource for years now! Absolutely indispensable when you're a newbie/amateur like me. And yeah, I'll just stick to the 12/12. I really don't want to stress these girls because they're pretty happy so far. No need to rain on their parade. Cheers m8! βπ
@RunWithIt,Not to sure how it would affect the plants by switching back and forth,
I'm sure they would experience a bit of stress. Maybe try and up the hours of light a
little at a time if possible, if not just keep doing what your doing and change on the
next run of autos, I'm sure you'll notice the difference, I hope this helps..
Every grow is an experiment, I'm still learning and trying different things on every
grow, Tons of fun!! Luck with your next experimentππ
