This week I was trying to find a good balance at feeding. I found out, that none of my nutrients had Zn and i started to see deficit of it, so i needed[ to but it. Choose between Advanced Nutrients Revive and General Hydro Micro. Obviously the second one, it has much more other useful elements. Also i bought another CalMag, since i noticed that it might be lack of Mg also. FloraGro also helps with Mg. FloraBloom just cause I already have two base nutrients from them and I'll be needed more bloom later.
By the end of the week the feeding was:
1 time pH Perfect Micro, Grow, Bloom in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias.
2 time FloraMicro, Grow, Bloom, BigBud in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias.
I think because I changed her diet and now it has much higher ppm, she started to drink less. Kind of more nutrients she can take from the same amount of water, so she doesn't need that much. I think.
Also it was quiet hard to change solution alone my myself, when the plant is that big. (Day 3) She always wanted to fall down during it ๐
I changed light schedule to 18/6 as it's more common for me, she will definitely have enough time to sleep. And so I couldn't blame light timing for delaying flowering.
Finally she begins to proper flowering, now I'm wondering how many time she'll be needing to finish, I guess 6 more weeks.
By the way, she is growing almost in a perfect cube, her width is about 60cm, while the height is around 67cm
Still defoliating, but every 2nd day now. That means she stopping producing leaves and starts focusing on buds, which is great.
Covering the ground actually helped me, now i almost don't see Sciaras anymore
Ok. I've got an idea about 8 colas positions. You can make 8 holes in the pot cap and put a toothstick in each. Then fix the colas in the right directions with the threads
@Dr_Anow, Yeah, that's a problem now, to properly handle it. Cause the plant pulls out my strings every day and I need to fix pretty often. Plus I'm running out of this strings already, so I might think about another method.
Actually I didn't understand, how I can use toothsticks, but some holes in a pot cap might be an idea ๐
Very nice looking plant, my friend! She looks very well after a move for sure! I feel the same way about grow tents. You don't need them. I just hung foil around my 4. Happy growing!
@inversi0n, I'm glad it's working for you well! I'm glad I was able to help ya out with that bit of info. It really helps and is so beneficial for your plant
@@Adam_Green, oh, thank you, man! I'm waiting for her so much, she have a loot of space to fill before harvest!
H2O2 also helps her to be the dominant organism in the solution๐
I think she is looking great. Of the 5 I have, I only journal about 4 of them, it is taller than them. And that topping was beautiful. The way the arms grow out and how thick they are is impressive. I don't really have anything to say about the lighting schedule. I used 18/6 for veg and am flipping them to 12/12 now for flower. I think she looks really good, especially after a move.
@inversi0n, Mine are more bushy too. I even raised my lights to try and force them to stretch and they wouldn't. So if you find the secret lemme know lol. I hope she gives you a great yield even if she's bushy!
@@Adam_Green, Thank you for support ๐
It's my 2nd time trying to mainlaing the plant, i think i needed to stretch her more, because she's still becoming more bushy with leaves and secondary branches๐
I'll try to experiment with the diet, have some ideas about it.
Nice to see the mainlaining is going great!!๐ She is extra thirsty bc you are 'training'her in this stage.. is xtra hard for her, mayb
But im sure she is in good hands with u and she will grow like a queen๐
@Hologram, Thank you very much!
That thirsty, that I'm filling the water on the bucket everyday now๐
Yes, it should be harder for her to grow with that training for now. But I think, it's crucial to keep doing it, while she's on her veg.
Later she should be receiving only benefits from this. I hope ๐
holy crazy tech. i still learning how to grow a plants properly and fans of this technique so far, yours looking very massive
if you not mind, im curious about multiple times topping, is it because of hydroponic base is a big part of how she recovering well and veg period occurs? ( i usually see hydro plant take longer period in veg stage)
thank you ๐
@kardel, Thank you a lot!
Yes, with hydro plant has easier access to nutrients and air, so it allows them to grow and recover faster.
However, this veg time was long because I've done too much cuts, I guess
@Dr_Anow, Good bloody question.
In recommendations for Piranha and Voodoo juice they say, that it should be added at first couple of weeks of vegetation and at first couple of weeks of blooming.
I don't really understand why so, why is it bad to use bacterias at preflowering. But as I understand, the main idea is to boost root growing when needed excluded transition and late blooming phases.
So, I'm trying to maximize profit from it without big risk. Moreover i'm growing in hydro-system, so the bacterias should be still in a bucket))
Anyway, I'm not using it already, you'll see in the next week report ๐
@inversi0n, thats very good to hear ๐๐
when the end result tastes so nice, all the 'mistakes'u may have made .. make perfect sense now!! ๐๐
60gr dry for an auto is just ๐ ๐!!
keep on Mainlining!!๐
5 weeks into an auto with no site of pre flowers. I could be wrong but my guess is your going to have a monster fucking plant my friend. Happy growing stay positive
