Just ph'd water all week, with Week 10 starting in 2 days I'm checking trichomes everyday but with Blumats still hooked up, the plan is to let this last 2-3 gallons run out and pull the carrots, then hopefully when I check the trichomes I see a good amount of amber (20%+). If I do, I'll wait 3 days for everything to dry out then chop at the end of Week 10 of flower. The plant with all the fall colors is a week behind but Winterfrost helped trigger all that and she's finishing fast so I'll cut the whole tent down in the next 5-6 days unless I'm just not seeing enough amber.
Worst case- I'll water by hand one more time and push the chop another 3-5 days. It's been a loooong journey after only growing autos for a year but jebus look at all those marijuanas! I brought a tester nug the size of a small strawberry into the house and my wife flipped out about the stank!
Thanks for checking in and happy growing homies! π€π
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 βοΈππ±
@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! ππ
