My first photos- and Big Baby is already the tallest I've grown. Most tops too.
The most awesome stretch I've ever seen.
Just finished growing 2 autos - 7 oz total off both, but the way these tops are stacking, this girl's about to explode.
I upped the CalMag just for her but after watching WTTGT on youtube it's been easier to understand why to add/up it and when (up to Week 3 in flower, then switch to a Mag Sulfate) so I have finally stopped complaining and accepted CalMag in my life. Runs great through Blumats (it's an additive not a feeding, so it's always in my rez and it's been soluble enough for the last 2 runs).
My Blumats rez needs refilling a lot more now that we're fully into flower, but so far Grow Dots have been amazing and the slow release PK looks like it's holding up so far. I'll add Bud Candy next week, and pull back on the CalMag a little (back to 5ml). I kept seedlings in Solo cups for 2wks (18 days?) then put them in their final pots with amended Coco Loco (with Dots, Langbeinite, Crab Meal, and Worm Castings- with the bottom third getting an extra serving of Down to Earth Rose Mix}. I'm not planning on top dressing but this plant is HUGE, so I might need to water in some KoolBloom but only if she shows signs of needing it.
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! 🙏👊
