Day 21:
So we are currently in day 21, I finished all my work for my growroom.
They where pushed into flowering 5 days ago. They always need to settle first before even turning into that stage.
So my gues that in the end of the next week we will start to see the first indicators.
I still gave them veg nutrients this week since they are still in growing stage.
I did notice that many plants have weak stems and where sloppy underneeth. Didn't liked that, so in order to have thicker stems and branches I decided to top all the plants ( not showing in these picutues, i did that after making the pictures)
Topping your plants will create stronger thick stems and branches!
Also removed the first 1-2 internodes on each branch. I kept 5 or 7 branches each plant. I can't remember the ''science'' behind it but I have been told that many years ago by fellow OG Dutch growers and Family members.
Anyway It is importend to have uneven branches. So 5, 7 or even 9 but never 6 or 8.
Normaly I would have loved a huge main cola and it is known by many amnesia growers to not top the plants because they make beautifull thick main colas.
On the other hand, when having this much plants on each m2, it will create weak stems and branches.
I rather have strong plants with thick stems and branches to transport all nutrients properly and not breaking when having buds on them or having to mayor support them.
The leafs, stems and branches look fine to me. No stress or deficiencies. 1/3 of them like to drink thought which is a good thing but it really enjoying.
Now I have to weigh by lifting the pots which one needs more or less feedings lol. Instead of giving them all like 5 seconds of water.
Might show you guys my feeding ''barrel'' next week. It is a 250L one.
Untill next week.
You like your big ass grows, I tip my hat to you.
Had a quick scan of your GC auto Diary. Had a friend look after 10 of mine and he managed to mess it up. Think ppl forget, it's not as easy as feeding nutes and sitting back. Especially if you're giving nutes on reg basis and not running full supersoil grows or whatever.
Idk how you do it. A big headache 😫.. looks like you got it rocking though. I see you are pushing more soil. Good idea. "Don't want the canna killer over again", lol....
Good luck with your grow(s).
@gottagrowsometime,
Thanks mate. Well it is much work when starting up but after that it only takes 1-2hours each 2-3 days.
The rewards are huge.
I'm going to update the same week again with new photos and videos.
Thanks for watching.
Hey mate! One thing that may help with the stem structure is silica, I can't speak first hand YET cause I only used it today for the first time on my cloned photos diary. But I have heard and seen great results. I picked up the NPK raw silica powder form. 22$ cdn treats up to 400gal of water! Goodluck can't wait to see this through!
@GanjaReaper, ya I topped all mine a few days back now and all have responded well. I top and then apply lst clips seems to work OK. I will look into regulator from aptus and see if it is available to me. Thanks mate
@@Billyandbarb, my Aptus regulator has that in it as well. A faster and also good solution is just topping your plants. It will give you a thicker stem and branches.
I would advice you to look into the Regulator from Aptus. It is good for many things.
@GanjaReaper,I always thought that it depends on which version you get i had sativas like Haze no1 by Nirvana go for 14 weeks and it was a psychedelic and smooth smoke. And as far as I know their version of Amnesia is recommended for 13- 14 weeks of flowering. Sorry to hear about your mishaps shit happens. Love following your grows 🙏
@yan402, When doing everything perfect, keep them small, without any delays, It can be done in 9 weeks of flowering.
I already did 7 weeks, 6 if you don't count the first week as a flowering one.
In like 1-2 weeks I know if they will be done in 9 weeks of flowering or I might do 10-11.
The thing is with Amnesia haze(sativa), when you overripe it, it gives a bad high, you will get tired instead of creative/talk-ish.
So many growers of amnesia i know, tend to flower it only 9 weeks and keep the plants short so they can be done in 9 weeks.
I kind of failed with that last one with halve of the plants I got because of lack of time/ interest.
I need to take in account that I do not have the time for them as I used to have. It happend with my last outside grow, the grow in the tent and this one. Thats why i'm planning to put
less plants in my rooms, it is painfull to do but I have too.
@Ju_Bps, Its oke, because of the heat they didn't got compact.
So hopefully they will smell and taste good, as for the beauty of it, they failed on that part.
Makes me wonder if I should get LEDs, by getting those, my rooms will be much colder which results in less problems and compact buds.
Currently they are still drying in a net and upside down branches and I can't dry all of them at the same time.
