This week saw the most explosive growth I have ever seen growing cannabis. I’m astonished at how fast and robust these ladies are. My BPP it seems like I have to LST new shoots daily and if I don’t defoliate it would be a blanket and there are to many bud sites to let go to waste.

So I may have jumped the gun by stopping feeding. To those who replied to my previous question thank you. Any advice on how to fix the brown spots on my leaves. One said calcium deficiency but I have been using cal mag at every water. I switched from a powdered cal mag to liquid

Even if you have increased cal/mag, results will take 2-3 weeks to show in the leaves. Just because you have been using cal/mag every water, does not mean that you have been using enough, especially if you were using powdered cal/mag, which takes a lot longer to become bio available to the plant. Liquid cal/mag will be easier for your plant to access, however, the damaged leaves will never recover, but it is all about stopping the problem from getting worse. Being this close to harvest, you might not see any real improvement before harvest day. Remember, what is showing in the leaves now, is a direct reflection of what was occurring in the root zone 2-3 weeks ago. Remember too, once the leaves are damaged, they stay damaged, the brown spots will not go away, no matter what you do. However, the spots will not affect your plant in any sort of negative way, they just look ugly.

Not to much different here except that I have been going outdoors because the sun has been an added bonus because it has been clear skies and around 85 and the ladies have been soaking it up. I think my bpp is going to fill out nicely and my cs is still growing like crazy. Today is day is day 35 from sprout

Had to defoliate once again on the Californian snow because she is growing like crazy with bud sites all the way down the branches. Had to move outdoors because of her explosion. She took over my grow space as I only have a 2x2 tent so hoping the sun will develop her nicely. Think I may have hit a wall on growth with the BPP. SHE STARTED FAST but has since slowed down but the bud set is nice and very purple. Hoping over the next few weeks she will fatten up.

Saw great growth out of both. Had to leave them for 3 days and when I got back they were thirsty but had swollen almost twice the size as before I left. Only plai water this week then on more feed for the final push before my final flush. So far very satisfied with fart buds genetics as the smells are out of this world. The trip home production on the BPP is extraordinary and the cs has packed on some nice frost. Let me know what you guys think. Any pointers would be great as this is my first auto flower run and my first run in over ten years. Very pleased with the production of these LEDS. I never would have thought it possible

Saw a very good amount of trichome production on both the Californian snow and the banana purple punch. I believe they are getting close as the pistol on the snow have almost all turner and the punch is just now showing signs of pistil cjange

803AutoGrowerstarted grow question 9 months ago
Can anybody give me an idea as to when these may be ready today is day 56 since sprout. The pistils on the snow are about 40-45% orange and the trichomeslook white but no amber. I have stopped feeding and am only using a carboflush. Should I still be feeding or am I doing right?

I would say another 3-4 weeks.........a bit early to stop feeding imo. When there are 95-98% brown pistils, you will be entering the harvest window.

So I’m gonna finish out this grow with the nutes I have but am wanting feedback on the best nutes to use so I can minimize any problems. Been using powdered nutes but want to go liquid for my next run of Mephisto grappa and white crème. Any guidance is greatly appreciated

So am I wrong by putting my plants outside during the day to get the sunlight? I live in a semi tropical environment that can get quite humid but the sun is so intense that I feel like they need it. No pest problems but idk if this is helping or hurting them

By what you explain it seems like you could just be growing outside. If anything..it’s hurting them moving them back and forth to take inside. If it’s not getting cold at night there’s no reason to take them in. Also, if you have other plants that stay inside, if you did wind up getting a pest you could take the pests inside

Very pleased with this one even if yield wasn’t what I hoped for but seeing how this is my first auto run ever I feel I did well. Now if the smoke is as good as the look and smell it would be the icing on the cake.

So the reason I’ve had to go inside is because of humidity and heat. We have had temps in the high 90’s even triple digits the past two weeks with same forecasted for the next 10 days. And the deer are so bad that I lost a whole crop outside last year not to mention the rabbits and grasshoppers. I used pots this time just for these reasons as if in previous years when in ground no matter what I did I couldn’t keep the deer and rabbits at bay. Since I’m not in a legal state it’s hard to watch that money go down the drain due to these stoner deers who live around here. I had no problems this go round but I had to sacrifice yield and downscale at least I’ll be able to enjoy this one.
