Fed 1/2 cup Mexican guano and 1/2 gallon worm castings on 7/19/19. Raked into top soil in preparation for a rain that evening. I continue to see signs that have me leaning much more towards female. I see what I think are pistols every once in a while but when I go to capture it on camera I can not fins it again so I will continue the waiting game. This plant has absolutely exploded at 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide. I do not even know how I would handle a harvest of that size but I am actually quite hopefully to be able to find out. The yield that will bring if female should be such a stark difference to my yields indoor with a T5.
The insides of a small number of future bud sites are showing some strange purple discoloration. My initial thought was that this could somehow be mold however under the microscope it is very purple. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (see images week 11)
Theres nothing to worry about here friend , this could be due to a variety of things weather or genetics , its hard to tell but I can assure you that your plant is fine and that the purple will grow and grow and it will turn out beautiful . If it was mold it would be stringy and white puffy almost . shes looking happy and fine ! I hope this sheds some light into your grow !
Hey nice looking girls hopefully they are female for ya and with a big harvest make some edible or tinctures lots of options for sure . Gonna follow along they look good and healthy..
I've only ever seen one male and that is a pure Sativa I'm growing. That long straight pre-flower doesn't resemble either. I did have a couple females that I originally thought was male. They had something similar to that long skinny pre-flower but it was curved and on lower branches. The were pure indicas. The first pre-flower pic you showed, the look more like female calyxes. Keep an eye on those to see if the pistils come out of their tips.
@SortOfNovice, Thanks so much for the info. I am kind of feeling like if it were a male I would see some advancement at this point in the season since they have to grow their balls early to pollinate. As long as I don't start seeing some very clear ball action, I am going to just let it keep going and see what we get! I need to get the microscope out there and get a better look. Really appreciate the feedback and I wish you much luck on your grows!
@CoastGrower, Thank you very much! Sent a follow over your way so I can check deeper into your journals. Very excited to see mother natures work. Your girls look like she is being very kind to you!
Hi,
Excuse me...I notice what appears to be calcium deficiency or excess magnesium in those pics. Of course, I can't be entirely sure but it REALLY does look like the balance is off.
Good luck!
@Jayann,
Well if the PH is that high and you don't know the cause, something like urine even...
About dolomite btw, it has a VERY high magnesium content relative to calcium and in general you want to keep the ratio of calcium to magnesium at around 7:1 so unless you definitely need a LOT of magnesium it's not something you should use TOO liberally. Calcitic lime more for calcium.
But I mean, I take it you didn't use that much so it shouldn't be a problem. You might wanna keep that in mind though.
@Jayann,
Excellent, yeah guano would definitely keep that mix more neutral. Plant looks quite a bit more "normalized" now, very good looking plant.
Keep it up!
@@Ssomeguy,
I was just reading about the ways to lower the soil pH organically and it mentioned using products with nitrogen. Looks like I may have gotten pretty lucky in this case. I had also added a top feed of Mexican and Jamaican guanos at the same time and perhaps the ratio of everything was enough to make things right. Unfortunately I can not find my soil pH meter to confirm where things stand but things are definitely looking good!
