Started Calmag in week 5 but a little less than usual based on claims about new formulations of GrowDots not needing extra CalMag.
That was true for two girls- who were normal-healthy. But the monster that outgrew them both just started showing Calcium deficiencies so I went back to 5ml a gallon, and watered in a little extra with Fish Shit and Recharge.
It may just be too huge to feed with a medium dose of GrowDots. Flipped to flower this week- end of Wk 7 for 2 and Wk 6 for the girl up front. Since week 5 I've FIM'd the tops to keep things even but she's at least 2ft so I added a scrog and started bending today.
I'm following this because of the Grow dots. I see they're becoming a little problematic. I hear they work best on autoflowers in coco/perlite because of the way they time release. I'm going to do a side by side on a couple of autos my next round and see what's up.
Good luck, your flowers are looking pretty good ✌️💚🌱
@Wanda, Thanks! I think some of it's the strain- wants to touch the light and eats a ton, and now it looks like could take at least 9 weeks flowering to finish.
I think the bigger issues were mostly my fault. The other 2 Growdots plants were well-fed but I should've seen how pale the monster was getting in wk 2-3 of flower and just used a PK booster- the bigger mistake was turning off the Calmag in coco loco and then letting her get 10" from the light.
I've run some Growdots in everything including just peat moss with some perlite and they work in everything but you're prob right that they work best with autos- 1 pot, no transplanting, 11 weeks. Happy experimenting! 🙏👊
