After decreasing lighting from 18 to 16 hours last week, this week saw a decrease from 16 to 12 hours.( I tapered the decrease, so -1 hour for two days, then -half an hour for 4 days)
At the end of the week a few tablespoons of worm castings and about a teaspoon of Guanokalong were raked into the topsoil of every plant before watering. Just to give the microbes and phosphorus levels a little kick with the switch into flower.💪
Both Special Queens somehow seemed to have been primed for flower by the decrease to 16 hours. By the end of this week upon reahing 12/12 the already had thick flowers with lots of pistils emerging and were stretching while the Purple Queen still acted like salad for another 10 days💤 Well the Specials also showed their readiness for flower with a lot of preflower pistils for a few weeks now, so I would dare to say this strain matures quite fast.👍
So far no obvious difference between plants on the Hesi vs those on the BioBizz Nutrition. The Bio Special is a few days ahead in flower development and stretch than her Hesi sister, but she was always a little ahead, even as a seedling. The Bio Special also has a little yellowing of the leaf tipps, which I would not have expected shince shes organicly fed, but I just dialed down the Nutes for her by half for the next few feedings. I would say the plant structure of the Hesi Purple is a little more to my liking but I would attribute that more to luck/timing of the topping the the exact lengths thet certain lower limbs stretched since then.
Watering Plan: Spray the top soil with filtered water + a bit silic rock every 1-2 days so it doesnt dry out too much/deep (very roughly 250ml per plant each time). Adding half a liter with the Hesy or BioBizz nutes every 3-4 days.
Why that complicated?
I feel the soil drys out quite quick in the fabric pots, Thats why I try to keep it at least from drying too much on the top. I also guess that having part of the root area always pretty dry (on sides and bottom) and parts always a little moist (top and middle) is better than drowning the plant (remember all these guys telling you to have X Liter of runoff) and having it dry up over a few days. From what I gather from the research stability is more important that accuracy when trying to provide a good enviroment for the plant (and everything in the soil).
But thats just like my opinion man😎
Se ve muy bien hermano, las puntas amarillas parecen ser un leve exceso de potasio por la manera en la que se acumulan los minerales, pero nada alarmante 🤞
Me encanta el color oscuro que van tomando esos hermosos cogollos, cuando esto engorde será bruta!
Growing the same plant for the second time. First time I had even worse looking leaves than yours.
My guess/opinion for the brown crispy leaves is also an excess of nutrients. This time I use half the amount of nutrients and the leaves look wayy better..
Try to dose down on nutrients. But your buds still look amazing so no worries🍁🔥
@MiyaguiOkPolilla, Thanks. I was thinking potassium on the purple one as well. The organic pellets only she has in her soil are rich in potassium so that makes sense. 👍
I am more worried about the other ones on BioBizz. As seen on Week11 they get crispy and curling leaves, maybe you got an opinion on them too.😊
