Water water feed. Kombucha and coconut water added to the ph waterings. Flushed today and then watered regular strength. Yellowing got worse this week. Hopefully the flush will help. Weird thing, I went to smell the buds before watering today and they all smelt super grassy. Literally burnt my nose. Then about a minute into watering the strong bud smell came back and the grassy smell went away. Huh. Was worried for a second. This was the last feed. Water only from here on out. I'm thinking about another 2 weeks.
@Tonino, thanks!! I'm chopping tonight! Can't wait!
I see that you were able to bring yours back to life. Thats great! I hope she still has some time before flowering starts!
What was your watering cycle? Did you feed every watering? And how much runoff. Sorry for all the questions. You seemed to do everything right for this grow. I would like to do the same haha. Thanks
@Rezdestroyer, that's great information much appreciated. My girls are only 10 days old but growing slowly. The soil already has very little bit of muted. So I didn't start feeding just yet.
What type of light are you using? Thanks again
@Salgeezi, hey. 3 to 5 gal would work fine, especially given this is a pretty low yielding strain and it doesn't get that big at all. I just like the 7 gal. Though I actually only have about 5 gal worth of soil in the air pot.
I give 2.5 to 3 gal of water every time and have just under a gallon of runoff water( water that come out the bottom).
As for feeding, she doesn't need a whole lot. I would pay more attention to the quality of the soil. As in making sure there is plenty of healthy bacteria to help assimilate those nutes and to prevent any type of lockout or salt build up. Thats where I messed up and will be trying recharge or another healthy bacterial to add to my soil next time. Compost tea works too.
I feed 1/16 recomended dosage at first and that's every watering for the first few weeks.
After going into flower, dosage increased from 1/8 to 1/4 every other watering. I got up to a half dosage maybe a little more for my last two feedings.
Hope that helps. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Two weeks looks perfect, but if you are watering every 4 days or so, you might want to water one more additional time, but that's an item up for debate. (I'm a newb). Great job on your flowers bud!
@Rezdestroyer, well don't forget that yellowing of leaves at this point is completely natural. It means that the flowers are ripening. So don't take on all the blame, some is normal. I found out I had accidentally given two products (bloom and ripe) one week and I shouldn't have. Thus I cooked my plants up good. Lesson learned. Each time we make a mistake it's a time to learn. Try to go back in your grow and see if you made any mistakes. Else, just give less nutrients next time. Also, plants react differently, some handle stress better than others. A different plant will produce different results. Your doing fine!
@BeefWellingtons, Thank you senior Wellington. I would really like to feed at least one more time but my nute lock out is out of control. Its so bad I really don't think the plants are getting much of what I'm giving them which means all that crap is just sitting in the soil :(
I dont know where I went wrong :/
Looking beautiful man. Just picked up these seeds as well. We'll see how it goes. I'm using 3 gallon fabric pots. Hopefully that doesn't play a factor in size of plant. I feel like 7 gallon is over kill. Seems to be working well for you tho
@Tonino, my first two auto I transplanted from a solo cup to a one gal and then to a seven gal and had no stress or slow of growth. I actually pulled almost 5 oz between the two and with only one 130 watt led. So I really think that as long as you are super Carful not to damage any of the roots when transplanting, it really helps. This time around I just went straight from the solo to the 7 gal and she definitely took a while to adapt to the large change. But in your case I would start in solo for first two weeks and then transfer to your final pot. Hope that helps.
@Tonino, thanks. I am having a issue with ph fluctuations causing mag def.
Is your girl growing too slow? I would suggest starting out in solo cup and then transfering. That's what I do for all my autos. Any other issues with her yet?
coming along nicely bro! I would not worry too much about the yellowing of the leaf. It is mainly the older leafs and that is completely normal. The fragrance pallet will also fully develop in these last weeks. It looks good! hopefully a fantastic harvest
@Rezdestroyer, I notice the same thing with my grows. the growth in this period is slightly less than the previous ones. but from experience I know that they explode in the last weeks 👊
acutely a this point your 300W can supply way more that your plant needs obviously depends on the distance from the plant the best thing is to have a meter of some sort .the best is to meter PAR value max level at maturity is 900 par (a bit more whit c02) or meter LUX (not ideal but better then nothing) max level at maturity is 75 000
@Rezdestroyer,like I was saying PAR metering is most accurate reading but more expensive https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0055F59LA/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvpv2_3?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_p=4e3c86df-9bbb-4a60-8164-aadd52e0639c&pd_rd_wg=feCdU&pf_rd_r=E2Z40R0NM3HQAMEEJZ27&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-bottom-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B0055F59LA&pd_rd_w=cuvMy&pf_rd_i=par+meter&pd_rd_r=f065bbb3-8d79-432c-b0a2-e66541dc2a21&ie=UTF8&qid=1537113511&sr=3
but LUX meter is better than nothing https://www.amazon.ca/Dr-Meter-Digital-Light-Meter-Illuminance/dp/B005A0ETXY/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1537113602&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=lux+meter
@bluetonic, thank you bluetonic. I have already learned that she likes to be watered more often than not. Unlike my six shooter who does fine with longer periods of no water.
