First grow ever, have some experience with growing hot peppers, but I have a hunch this will be a lot harder.
Just for the record I am doing it out of curiosity, I am not smoking weed, last time I did was 10 years ago.
Good week all in all, giving half of the recommended nutrients.
Might increase it later.
Plant feels little small for 4th week. I hope it will explode soon.
Got Atami Bloombastic from local hydroshop. There I've been told that it is safe to mix Bloombastic with Bio nova pk 13 14.
But I don't know this seems risky. Does anyone knows if I can mix them both?
High, you do not need to do a test! of course it is safe to use, cannabis plants need phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) during the entire flowering phase. Check your bloom nutrients it will say the minerals inside the bottle, it will contain a certain ratio with phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) and Calcium & Magnesium.
Cannabis plants need phosphorus (P) during early flowering (first 4 weeks) and from when the buds really start to swell till harvest (last 4 weeks) they need potassium (K), calcium and magnesium. So when you want really good results it is better to use 3 products instead of just using a pk booster like pk 13/14 it is better to use a P booster during the early flowering phase and K booster during the late flowering phase and a Cal-Mag supplement to harden up those buds.
When you only want to use a pk booster like pk 13/14 then keep the dosage low because otherwise you will create nutrient lockout due to minerals that the plant will not use and end up as build up salts running up the EC value in the soil.
With autoflowers keep the EC around 1.5 from early flower till harvest. Enjoy your grow!
Added another 100w Samsung LED light.
Raised the lights abit, distance between canopy and LEDs is 50cm.
I gave it too much water, almost 3 liters a day, this was a bad idea, the leaves started to droop, so I went back watering every 2nd day.
Did big defoliation this week, hope I didn't cut too much.
I had the feeling there are way too many lower buds with no direct light and way too many fan leaves.
I think there is a built-up of nutrients in the soil, leave tips are burnt, it doesn't seems serious and I am close to the end so I'd ignore it.
If this gets worse I'd flush a little.
Buds are fattening up.
I think 2 in two more weeks it will be ready.
The leaves tips are burnt, noticed it before but ignored it . Which after investigation may be due to overfeeding or buildup of nutrients in the soil.
Towards the weekend I'd do little flushing.
Since I water every 2nd day, it will be first day flush 2 days after another flush and after that back to feeding.
Maybe I keep flushing till the end, don't know yet need to check the trichromes.
Because salts were building in the soil due to improper watering. I decided to do the following,
giving PH balanced water for two times and afterwards going back to watering with the base 7-3-6 only.
Now when I water I give 50% of the pot size which is around 8 liters making sure that all the salts of the previous feeding were
washed out.
Next grow I will definitely buy an EC meter and water each time more to make sure salts are not building up in the soil.
This week I hope I'd see some amber.
I also vaped a little part of the bud and it was strong.
This week I am back to feed smaller amount of pk and molasses.
I still don't see any amber trichromes but since it is my first grow I might be missing them.
I think that within 10 days or less I'd chop it down, vaping it get me high so I am all in all pleased with this grow.
By the way I don't believe in flushing, so there will be no flushing nor dark period.
Harvested two plants this week.
On one plant discovered little mold inside two buds, threw these buds away, rest of the buds look good.
It seems the mold effected only the plant inside the 18 liter pot. To my surprise the plant inside the 11 liter pot grew faster and the buds ripen faster.
Next time I am growing autos in 11 liter pots only
