Flipped late in Wk 7 (for 2) Wk 6 (for 1). Defol'd the big girl b/c she's already 2ft tall. I'll wait to defol the other 2 (b/c I love them less - and they're shorter).
If I confused anyone- Grow Dots (2tsp per gallon of medium - Coco Loco here) were amended in before the grow, along with Langbeinite, Crab Meal, Fish Bone Meal, Worm Castings and DtE Rose Mix in just the bottom 1/3.
I keep CalMag flowing in a Blumats rez (5ml per gallon) when I first hook the Blumats up in Week 4 of Veg. In the first 2 weeks I only use a spray bottle 2x a day in Wk 1, 1x a day in Wk 2 then I'll water to runoff in Wk 3 at some point.
In Weeks 3-4 I'm watering 2x a week (or so) with Fish Sh!t and Recharge to almost-runoff, and once they're hooked up to the Blumats I water in FS and Recharge once a week (about a liter or 2 per pot) in Veg. 6.5 ph for everything, or a little under.
The big girl is making me nervous, but for all the best reasons- she's getting huge and using the scrog (1st time) has helped create about 20 more bud sites. I might start Flower Fuel next week in the rez if I can research it a little more first. I don't want to fix what's working.
Credit where it's due: "Welcome to the Grow Tent" on YouTube was HUGELY helpful figuring out how to shape and manage Big Girl (it's official now), and how to use a SCROG effectively. I heart MrCanuck's slick vids and learn a lot from MrGrowIt, the DGC, etc but if you're not familiar with WTTGT check him out. Nice guy, informative as hell (if he ever has a pen and paper out drawing examples of stuff- WATCH), and some great shorter vids that were more informative than a lot of other stuff I've seen (and I'm probably clinically addicted to watching grow vids at this point). Not paid, don't know him, no homo, etc.
Happy growing homies!
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! 🙏👊
