Hot week with some occasional rainy night. Direct sun from around 7am till 5pm, Afterward wall shade and skylight till 9pm. Watering every other day (every 48h) with 1l per plant. Massive grow noticable in comparison to previous weeks, assume thanks to B52, Sensizym and Voodoo Juice. Those 2 nutrients have been introduced in this week. 1 Jack is not LST. Other Jack and Cheese are given LST.
D32. Plants start showing tiny pistols. Last week of Vege stage. Rainy night added extra watering.
D37. More Pistols on main and side colas. #1 Jack got a bigger stress while trying to lay side. Main cola got less elastic and too much bend broke its one side, no open wound. Stays still a day with that condition.
So... in the middle of week 5 I've noticed tiny pistols on my plants. I wonder if I should change feeding to bloom nutrients? If yes, should I flush it with AN Flawless Finish first for few days or go straight to blooming food? Appreciate any suggestions ;) Regards to y'all!
I wouldn't do a flush or change. The switch from grow to bloom (veg to Flower) isn't as significant as it seems... You will meed the extra nitrogen in early flower to help with the stretch, otherwise you will stsrt seeing yellowing at the bud sites. Once she starts blowing up 🔥 with bud sites you can start pumping up the P/K amd reduxing the nitrogen. 👍💪
This week more AN Micro is added to add more N to food during last phase of Vege.
D41. Getting bigger and bigger. More Bud sites all over plants. #1 Royal Jack with injury recovered fast.
D43. Lst on side branches that were getting to high. Main cola was also bended sideway. I'll try to keep it around the pot circle shape. Also hope to get more flowers from side branches ;) #1 Jack has, as I suppose, nutrient burn from direct contact with water mixed with nutes.
D46 - Plants growing up, more bud sites arose. Adding Bud Ignitor. They looks like they need more water. Lowest leaves starts to drying, I guess its because of flowering phase and very high temperature that occured during the last week. Thinking of new feeding schedule. One day feed, the other just water, 1l per plant/day. Noticeable calcium and magnesium deficiency. I ordered Sensi Cal Mag Xtra. Should collect today and will add it with tonights feeding 1ml/1l.
D51 - Plants smell nice. I have a feeling that Jack is more cheesy in smell then royal cheese which smells more like citrus pine :D Buds sites growing nicely, getting thicker. Royal cheese seems to have more bud sites which are a little bit bigger. Still worrying about Calcium deficiency mostly on #1 Royal Jack. It's fourth day on CalMag Xtra. Hope next week see no more new yellow spots on leaves. We'll see.
D57 - However, I wasn't planning to I decided to defoliate. Most of defoliation was made on Royal Jack #1 and mostly on weak leaves that suffer from nutrient burn or deficiency. Generally that plant seems to be the weakest from all 3. With Jack #2 I cut lowest node with some tiny pistils. I thought that it won't grow enough so it will be loss of energy that can be transfered to main bud sides. Most bushy and with more buds sites is Royal Cheese. Still 3 weeks ahead so I hope Jacks will keep up ;)
With a weak with Cal-Mag I noticed that no more new leaves suffer calcium/mag/iron deficiency (no more new yellowish spots on leaves).
This week was chill, with rainy days so I skipped 2 watering/feeding nutrients time. I also decided to reduce amount of water per day, because if watered with 1l. water went through the pot and spilled out (waste of nutes). Finally I have added Big Bud to the feed.
D60 - Buds grows nicely, getting thicker and thicker, looks very good. Nevertheless bad weather - lots of rain and quite cold for couple of days, plants health seems firm. Smell got much stronger, but I like it ;) Trichomes clear and transparent. This week I introduce AN Overdrive to the feed mixture, and bring back B-52. I removed Bud Ignitor and Voodoo Juice.
D64 - last couple of days was raining cats and dogs. I have no place to hide my girls and today I've noticed white tiny spots on leaves. Under zoom it came upt to be white mold :/ Is it and of the grow?
D65 - So, infection wasn't big. I cut most of the fan leaves, some sugar and buds sites, that had some sign of something mold like and unsure. I did found some tiny spots on few bud sites and have been removed from plants. All the rest plant has been thoroughly checked with jewelry zoom 30x and 60x. Seems to be not infected. I have treated them with sprayed milk/water solution (about 60/40. White spots on photos are milk mixture and milky rasin spreaded by my fingers when examined plants. One of the plant has been harvested, I have accidentally broke quite harsh one of site cola and decided to harvest (see new harvest entry).
Hello dear growers, Today I've found a sign of mold on leaves, didn't noticed on buds but not examined closely all buds. Spots are really tiny. Should I cut those down and cut infected leaves to save as much bud as I can? Trichomes clear to milky 50/50%. Or sacrifice whole grow?
I unfortunately had the same on the tiniest piece of bud one of the top buds ,tries to cut it out but the next week a spot just below had some as well tiny but there so I cut her down .it was during flush but still the chances of it being removed and not spreading those spores to adjoining buds is to highly likely .. hope that helps anyone I've asked has told me don't try to keep going cheers..
@Kshaqu Hi so sorry to hear you have botrytis 😥 I would advise against keeping any part of the plant infected
and you can try to remove all of it and continue your grow however in all likeyhood the mold will return.
So I would sadly cut my losses and harvest any usable non infected plant material. Hope this helps and again
very sorry to hear 😓
D68 - I started to flush Jack with Flawless finish this week. The one cut earlier works great. Hope this one will have much bigger impact while most of the trichomes are milky. I have noticed, that no more than 1% of them getting amber. Plan to harvest on 72 day. Royal Cheese, however, I decided to feed one more week, before week of flush. Its buds are really thick, almost twice as the Jacks. I hope to get this one to almost couchlock effect (more amberish trichomes). White spots on leaves are dried milk spots from anti mold mixture. So far no sight of new infections, seems heavy defoliation and milking asap as noticed, helped. Looking closely every day.
Strain seem to be good to perfect for my weak outdoor sunlight condition. Grow seemed to be easy, I regularly watered and feed plants with AN product, and think that work great with each other. I really love the taste, very lemony, fruity with earthy-herb taste in back. Smell is outstanding! When You open a Jar You cant help yourself to eat it! :) So sweet and lemony. Energetic and euphoric effects last for few hours,
D65 - Just harvested and trimmed. No much opinion yet. Trichomes clear/milky about 40/60 ratio. Did some scissors hush, and I liked the state I could easily focus on my task, quite energetic. I hope cured buds will remain that quality. Altered state last for about 4 hrs with chilling but not drowsy out. Will update later when try dry 😎
D68 - I checked drying buds, there were very dry outside. Colas broke inside easily but not outside. I was afraid that will dry too much so put them in the Jar, After night in stash got very wet, I burped them for several minutes off the jar on the fresh air. I'm doing right? I'll see ;)
I love the strain because of the very high yields I had from a one little plant 35cm with LST made me about 140g wet / 32 dry of candies. Buds were very dense, thick. The plant had a lot of leaves what created low air flow and some small mold eventually on fan leaves. I suspected cheese taste but found Earthy, woody with a bit of herbs.
@DILLIGAF, please chek my update week 9 and harvest. Thanks for advice again! I did as wrote 1 cropped, 2 others heavy defoliated left for later. I will check them regularly.
Hey @DILLIGAF, thank You for answer. As I thought. I'm cutting all infected and those I think might be infected and it's, neighbours leaves. Then I'll inspect closely all buds. I'll cut one whole plant buds that are not infected, and on the others after defoliation I'll spray 60/40% milk to water solution and watch closely. Will inform in few days how's going.
Hi I left an answer to your question hopefully this helps mold and chopping all personnel just an attentive eye can save you a lot of stress cheers from canada
@Cannibalgardens, sorry for late reply (a lot things was going on around here) I did as You wrote, though. Eventually I managed to cut some nice piece of candies for me ;) Thanks for helping with advice and wish You best grow ever! 😎 👊
@GrowBeforeHoe, Thanks, this is my second attempt to personal grow. Last time didn't work well (3g from 2 plants :/). This time with bigger experience and knowledge about feeding. However girls got only 8h of direct sun, they looks much better this time :) hope to get satisfying results :D Regards!
Today I have updated this week diary after recognizing mold infection. My summary is, that I think I had lucky I noticed infection so fast, as it was really tiny. Nevertheless there was no much leaves and few little bud sites infected, i removed all that I was unsure too. I think that defoliating autos week or 2 earlier would be great idea, because the plant could have more space to have better ventilation/airflow. After trimming harvested plant i did scissors hush. Nice! 💪👊 energetic altered state, that kept me focused on my task - that's what I aimed for 😎 I will start flushing one of the remaining plants the following 10th week, and the other week later (hope to be 10-20% amberish trichomes).
