1. Gooey was flipped to flowering on Saturday night. She was watered on Thursday . Lights out from Saturday night to Monday Morning (30hrs.). She will be on a 12/12 light schedule until harvest.
2. There has been no outward appearance of preflowering. However, the budsites that are emerging are now a brighter green than normal.
3. Watering/Feeding schedule has not changed. I have now moved on to NOTG Early Flowering Schedule. I notice while taking measurements that my pH was really high. At first I thought it was just the added calcium and bone meal used in this feeding schedule. I decided to check the pH using distilled water and found out my meter was way off! I re calibrated my gizmo, then remeasured when I fed my other plant. The new pH was an acceptable 6.78.
4. I will continue to use Bloom Khaos as a foliar feed until true buds start to form. Then I will switch to adding it to my other nutrients and root feed.
@Bluesbreeder, I will account for the other variables during this grow to make sure that my issue is with the lights. However, this is a hobby for me, and we should always buy the best toys for our hobbies.
@Quexos,it looks like it's my company but it is not i have nothing to gain by recommending these lights . but i really am amazed by the results i'm getting and ok maybe i'm doing something good and the budswelling helps but i really think my lights are the keyfactor to the great harvests i'm having lately.
@Tonino, I really am! I've been very patient waiting for these trichomes to change mature.
Should I feel guilty that I'm already planning my next grow?
@Twisted_Forest, The problem as newer growers is we have all sorts of nutrient choices, but it takes a few grows to learn the nutrient lines. I've invested a few plants on this line of nutes. Now its a choice. Buy the nutes that are running out and keep using the line, or start the learning curve all over again with another line.
@Quexos, nice! They are really strong. I will go take a look at your bubba. I have the same problem, since I am kind of a newgrower, I don’t want to give them too much nutriment. I think it’s hard to give the perfect amount of nutriment, every plant take it differently.
@bobo420, Thanks! I'm really impressed with the genetics of both strains I'm growing so far. They are growing like crazy for only 3 weeks old. If the secondary growth picks up enough, I might flip to flower a week early. I was thinking 6 weeks for veg.
Can appreciate the hope for a higher yield dude but any time you pull 1+ oz. it’s still a smoke and a success👍. Enjoy it dude and looking forward to the next one😎😉👊
@TheBudWhisperer, Yeah, the smoke is great! After trimming and jarring my harvest yesterday, I twisted up a phatty and enjoyed the fruits of my labors.
My new journals are up and running. I transplant and feed them for the first time tomorrow. They are already starting their 2nd full node!
@Tonino, She has to be done stretching. The slight increase in height is mostly flower formation. I have another foot or so I can raise the lights, so I'm not that worried. I didn't expect this plant to show so much Sativa genetics.
Thanks for following along!
@Tonino, Thanks. I really like how she has shaped up over the last few weeks. There are about 21 viable budsites right now. I'm looking forward to flowering.
@Tonino, Thank you, thank you! I'm harvesting my other plant today. I'll have a harvest report later this week I guess. This girl still has a few more weeks.
@Tonino, I view her more as lightly frosted at this point. I do like the directions the bud formation is going though. I was a little worried for awhile. I think she spent a lot of early energy stretching.
Thanks for stopping by every week and checking out my grow!😁
@Tonino, I can't believe that she is still stretching. I looked up some of the genetics to this strain and there is a lot of sativa. Perhaps that's the reason. But, yeah, I really like how she is budding out.
@Tonino, Thanks again for your kind words. She has 2 branches that are almost as tall as the main cola. I can't even count the number of viable bud sites! (well I could...) I really think she is going to be a very nice yielder.
I'm really glad I have 2 more seeds.
@TreeTent310, Thanks! Wait until you see this week's journal entry. I posted last Thursday, then did a major defoliation on Friday. You should see her now!
@Tonino, Thanks. I took her out of the grow tent this week. I'm having trouble with focus on my camera due to the lights. Luckily they are small plants.
