Ak_keithstarted grow question 8y ago
I will be using advanced nutrients jungle juice M/G/B line in Pro Mix BX. Isil it about time to start adding nutrients? What is a good starting number for the beginning? I was going to start at 200 ppm with increments of 50 every week but I'm no expert :) THANKS!

nah man wait at least till you re-pot, you risk over doing it, and you can see the beging of some lock out happening... start at the bottom of week three after you repot... just my two cents ! Good luck with the grow !

Ak_keith Day 17 from seed. Gave a very light feeding of just 50 ppm (130 total) ,noticeable signs of burn on a couple,just a bit too early on the nutes I guess.I am feeding equal parts M/G and 1/4 Bloom, and then vice versa for flower,I hope that's correct.

Ak_keith Day 35 from seed. VERY large fan leaves and it looks like some are ready for a transplant and others seem stunted and slow growing. Added Great White microbials. Not to sure if I should be pulling these super large fan leaves or not!

My fan leaves seem very large which,to me, translates to a healthy plant. Should I be pulling these large healthy leaves or is it a bit early to defoilate?

Hello @Ak_keith ! The point of defoliation is to increase the light penetration and air circulation. Since at this point your canopy doesn't seem to thick i wouldn't do anything but in about a week you will definitely need to cut some leaves. More leaves certainly doesn't mean more photosynthesis especially when these leaves are at the bottom of the plant and don't receive any light. Except of that there are other factors that limits the photosynthesis rates like the co2 quantity the light intensity and the limits that rubisco enzyme sets ( an enzyme responsible for co2 fixation to energy ). Happy growing ! 👊

Ak_keith Week 7: moved the four biggest to the flower room (photos are day 3 of flower). Flower room lights are Mars Hydro 300w and 5x 15w 2700k LED bulbs. 2 confirmed females. They are a bit small for flowering but I will be focusing on these 4 mainly while the rest grow in veg. I plan on moving the rest to flower in about 2 weeks. I should have a replacement for the LED bulbs by then.

Ak_keith Week 2 of flower! Very noticeable stretch, they all seem to be of the same phenotype. Deciding whether one is a different phenotypes or not seems to be a large struggle lol. I believe that I saw a major improvement once I added great white microbials. Does it look like my pots are too small for my plants?also, I am really liking fabric pots,should I go bigger for the future?

Ak_keithstarted grow question 8y ago
What is your go to response when you see yellow tips on leaves 3 weeks into flower? I know the idea is to "dial back" the nutes but what exactly does that mean? Just water fresh water a couple of times in a row? Or drop PPM buy like 100 for a watering session?

CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 8y ago
in soil the best is following the water water feed water water feed schedule, especially making sure the wet dry cycle is strictly adhered to. If you're feeding more regularly than that dialing it back may mean reverting to this schedule then. By the time you catch the symptoms the problem has been going on for a while already, so keep that in mind! Hope this helps AKKeith ! 🚀

Ak_keith Well damn,they all went Hermie on me. I spent many hours canning each plant and plucking off each ball of bananas on the bottom of the buds. It seemed to mainly be from lower parts of the plant but all 4 had them. I will continue the grow and see how they progress.

Ak_keith Day 47 of flower,no signs of seeds!! I cut back on the nitrogen and added more bloom but I will start flushing after the next feeding! It looks like some pH are finishing faster then others! I am getting great experience in phenotypes because I can really smell the differences in a few of them!

Well, I learned that trying to pheno hunt for your first grow using bagseeds was probably not the smartest idea. I guess my goal was to find a pheno that did not go Hermie but I failed there lol. This stuff is still very very frosty and CLEAR differences in a few of the plants which is a cool pheno experience :)

I'd recommend starting at 1/2 the recommended strength and I would not start feeding at all until week 3 or 4. There should be more than enough nutrients in your soil for the first 3-4 weeks. Good luck! 👍

It’s not too early to defoliate. She’s a nice looking little bush! Go ahead and defoliate now. Remove the large fan leaves blocking light getting to the bud sites. Good luck!

Love me some atomic bomb 💣.
I am a huge fan of 💣 Seeds. Every strain I have grown from them has been a winner. I am currently growing a hodgepodge of strains in my garden, but I have 1 Gorilla 🦍 Bomb 💣 which shares some genetics as the Atomic that you are growing. They both have been crossed with THC Bomb. I have a 10 pack of Atomic femanized seeds in the on deck circle ⭕️ waiting for a free slot in the garden so I will be sure to keep an eye 👁️ on your grow to see how they fill out. I try to post bi-weekly videos of my garden to my YouTube Channel. Check it out if you have a chance:

@MagicMikesMeds,YES YOU NAILED IT!!! There is something about the strain that has an amazing unique smell! Unfortunately my seeds were not as lucky as I got some male flowers about week 4 :( but I guess it happens :(. I am getting to truly experience phenotypes and the differences they show which is nice and educational!

MagicMikesMeds commented8y ago
@Ak_keith, if you are looking to cross breed your plants then hang onto one of those male plants. I only grow femanized seeds, or clones from my own garden, so o don’t have much experience dealing with male plants. The nice part about pheno hunting is that once you find a pheno that you love, you can then tailor your garden to that pheno through cloning. “It’s Science “

Stick commentedweek 58y ago
Hi @Ak_keith! I would wait for the plant to enter flowering stage before doing a serious defoliation. All you want in veg stage is node development and new side-growth, leaves are the main way to get the energy for these tasks. Once you trigger flowering by changing your light schedule, you can defoliate in order for the bud-sites to get the maximum light. If you really want to defoliate now, do it slightly and remove only 2~3 main fan leaves at a time. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Lovely looking ladies. I wouldn't recommend cal-mag at this stage. Too much nitrogen. Use mag-sulphur mid flower onwards instead. Keep up the good work, bro.
Very nice frost, btw. Don't cut before you check the trichomes, though. And let the calyx's swell too, thats where the gold is ;-)

@Mr_Positivo, ok yes I was thinking too much nitrogen so thank you for confirming that (dark green leaves curling tips right?)
I had spotted about 6-10 pods of male flowers that started opening on week 4. I removed them and vigoursly scanned all 4 plants. I have not seen any other signs, does this just mean the seeds are on the inside of the buds?
I really do appreciate you pros taking the time to help us newbies out. It really is appreciated!!

I guess I’m just not that good a grower, and I can’t see these pics well on a phone without saving the screenshot and zooming in, and I’m not doing that, but all I see are very healthy plants. I love this phase! They’re like 8-10 year old kids. Brimming with health and growing like weeds, old enough to be fun to enjoy their company, but haven’t yet become temperamental, sullen, snarky, disappointing teenagers. Enjoy!
