Explosion: almost overnight all the ladies have to doubled in size, and then some.... the full 4x4 is now filled completely and space management is starting to get difficult.
I am noticing they are doubling in size every 36 hours now. The sheer growth is quite impressive. I can probably say that this is the true week of pre-flower: all colas are showing blooming pistils at each apex.
Started to use some michorizae friendly additives to support the root growth. Still updating on the LST every other day to adjust and optimise;
The GG4 shows the first trichome structures with their distinctive diesel and gassy like notes.
I am noticing that the whole grow tent is showing signs of overfeeding. I will begin to both water to runoff at 30% from now on, but only after a long overdue flushing with neutral water in which I will check ppm's all over.
@whenindoubtsmokeitout, looks like you got 3 to 4 weeks for sure left from pictures. Go off buds. Very light nitrogen in flowering, more potassium and phosphorus is what gives you buds. Your plant is showing potassium deficiency in leaf tips. Brown and straight is sign. If curls up it is nutrition burn.
@Roberts, thank you! I am mostly concerned about 2 points:
- I am beginning to noticing amber trichomes on the very edges of the smaller sugar leaves (previous damage related decaying?...). The trichomes on the flowers themselves are still mostly clear with few cloudy. As this is my very first take on growing, what rule of thumb should I be following so to harvest (and time my flush) at the right time?
- DO one start flushing upon noticing the right amount of cloudy/amber trichomes ratio, or does one needs to time the flushing so to achieve the wanted results by the end of week 2 of flushing?
@whenindoubtsmokeitout, thanks. I have grown 2 of those strains. Smell should be coming soon. I try to be informative, and basically try to answer any questions prior being asked. I appreciate the support.
