This girl is growing like a dream. absolute monster has done excellent on its on with no training except leaf tucking. im going to start lst and tieing down the stems
Does anyone have like a general rule of thumb when it comes to how much ppms auto flowers do best with and at what stages? I see all types of crazy numbers on line and am pretty confused about the whole ordeal. Thanks for any help!
Germinate. 0ppm
Week 1. 100ppm
Week 2. 200ppm
Week 3. 300ppm
Week 5. 400-450ppm
Week 6. 500-550ppm
Week 7. 550-600ppm
Week 8. 200ppm
Week 9. 0 ppm
This is a good average chart to use for auto's but just know every pheno is different and can handle a little more or a little less.
Hope this helps.
Should I tie down the main colas on these girls to get a more even spread to or just keep letting them do their thing since they are growing into monsters and looking pretty even. Is it to late to tie down the main cola as well will this stress thre out during her stretch phase?
The less stress the better with auto's. You want them to have a nice long strong veg and by training them you can accidentally put them into early bloom or stunt they're growth.
I recommend you let them do they're thing and they look great btw.
Hope this helps.
So my two biggest girls White Creme and Girl Scout monkeys are showing the same deficiency. they look way lighter than the other 3? I thought it was calmag so I gave them each a gal of water with nutes and 5ml of calmag yesterday. do I just wait out out or is it something else?
def mg deficiency...
i'd fix that before assuming anything else... proper amount of mg will restore a lot of lushness on its own.
i don't get why potassium is being mentioned. you'd see stuff forming along leaf tips before anythign else with that, which is not occurring. So, if oyu see it progress where the serration on teh leaves are all burning at the tip or necrotic etc.. then you can consider low potassium as the culprit.
i see start of interveinal with some spots.. that's mg. the thing about Mg is that when you see the symptoms, the deficiency actually started 30+ days ago. The time frame is sometimes usfeul to consider....
low p would come with symptoms too that would stand out, which i don't see here... i'm not sure what the stimulus is for believing it's low if there are no visible signs to go off of... i'd love to learn what the reasoning is despite no visible symptoms... must be intuition?
Ok so how do I fix a cal mag problem. If it’s just mag what is my fix. If it’s just calcium what is my fix. Gave 5ml per gal last feed. And been lightly spraying a cal mag foliage spray. Do I just wait it out to see if they stable out and slowly increase nutes as I go?
easy way -- use calcium nutriate as your primary source for nitrogen. build around it... never hve ca issues using that... also, magnesium-sulfate will provide Mg. (epsom salt)
if you run into these issues, it means your fertilizer mix is lacking and it'll only continue to happen.. if oyu have a component of mix that has most or all of your Ca, you can try increasing that product's concentration in your mix. same with Mg obviously. if you cannot devise a formula that doesn't cause other issues, then you need some sort of supplement each time you mix it up or go with a different brand / set of ingredients that allows you to properly feed them.
you'd also have to make sure Mg/Ca are one of the things that can actually be foliar fed -- not all molecules will make it through the stomata and i don't keep a memorized list in my head because i don't foliar feed. i use the roots, because that's what they are made for,lol. Foliar sprays are great to get what is missing to the local area faster in some situations (namely which molecules can traverse the stomata)... but it shouldn't be used as your primary source for ca/mg. Gettng leaves wet everyday is only going to invite problems. a risk you can easily avoid by simply feeding a well-balanced diet. it's s tool.. for specific use.. some just have to do more to feel they are doing something, i believe. keep it simple... plus, you can't leave.. you are shackeld to that plant spraying evey day or it'll have issues.
ok so Ive let the girls grow with very lit to almost no training except leaf tucking. My ? is when can I remove all this lower growth. I haven't removed anything cause my growth has been explosive and don't want to slow it. When can I safely remove all the lower growth w/o harm?
ive noticed a lot of growth in these girls when the lights are out. they love it! I run 20/4 right now can I switch to 18/6 and if I do could this potentially hurt my ladys or benefit more from it?
I’m using 5ml per gallon of cal mag and I keep having cal mag issues and can’t seem to get a hold on it. Now my two biggest best looking plants are looking rough. Any idea or tips to help me in this situation??? My light is only at 80% (FCE-4800)?????
Your plants want a lot more potassium, and phosphorus. Which is causing your ph to likely be high in substrate. Which causes lock out swings easily. Plus the final bud will get way better and more if you start juicing them as they hit bulking, and reducing nitrogen as flowering goes. Having good rum off is ideal as well. Testing the run off ph will tell you a lot as well. 👍🏻🌱
