Hey all! She has started to flower! Stretching like crazy, she's throwing pistils this week and starting to smell. Like, pretty stinky for this early lol. I took 4 fan leaves, 2 at a time, they were getting in the way of progress. I had my reservations about doing it but I'm glad I did, within a day all my bud sites shot up to the top! A couple of the branches that came from lower down have fewer nodes than I would like, but whatever lol, I'm still in awe of how even the canopy has been with minimal training. I did tie a couple of the branches out to the bamboo stakes, along with the defoliating it really opened her up, and when I cut the leaves I got my first nose full of the sweet berry funk of a terp profile, pretty awesome! This Earth Dust is good stuff btw, haven't had a single issue yet (knock on wood). Happy growing fam!
My plant sprouted 5 days ago, because of temps last night I left the light on and will for the next few days to maintain temp. Its an autoflower but I like having a dark period for my autos. Will it hurt anything if I go back to 20/4 or should I let it ride?
It will not hurt, 20/4 is a great light schedule. Honestly, don't worry about transitioning it or anything it is an auto and will not mind, especially at this early stage.
Looks like she is about to start bloom, very exciting my friend. Looking very strong happy and healthy. Keep up the amazing progress, good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!
@Toastdtoast, any time, it's good stuff 👍 I really enjoy growing with it. I was so tired of the whole ph testing and fluctuations issues with the synthetic nutes
@Cyrusdavirus, thanks brother! Man I love this Earth Dust, thanks for the tip! I used the median doses and have just a bit of tip burn, growth has been fantastic!
Looks great 👍 because living soil is considered slow release it's pretty normal for plants to eat from some of the bottom leaves during stretch and start of flower. Tea is what I would have done too
@Cyrusdavirus, Right! I love this stuff, I have some cooking for the last 3 weeks and gonna pot another plant soon as I chop Sharon fully, I haven't started a new diary yet but I have 3 2g pots in there right now, will be 4 😁 FB Blackberry, FB Gorilla Glue, Mephisto Samsquanch OG x Forum Stomper, and will either put another of these or my last Orange Sherbet bean!
I don't think you hurt it , allowing the soil to dry does hurt the microbes and slows them making food but I doubt it got that dry that they were all affected it takes a long time for the middle to dry
