DAY 64-70
What's up fellow growers? Hope you and your plants are doing fine ๐
Here on the balcony things are getting interesting; the buds have changed in shape and aspect and I reached the point where I cannot say if they are going to grow further or if the harvest day it's just around the corner.
During this week I kept increasing the amount of nutrients for flowering as shown in the technical details, even though I think it's gonna be the last time since the harvest is so close.
I'm studying a lot about that, I am waiting for a magnifier to check the trichomes and I'm ready to cut it out at the first sign of being ready to it..but so far I couldn't really say for sure.
As usual I'm looking forward to hear from you guys, PLEASE let me know what you see out of these buds, if you have any experience or if you notice something, anything would be super helpful ๐
Thanks a lot for reading and enjoy your growing ๐
@Fredsai that my friend is a grasshopper and they shouldn't pose too much of a problem
I like to use diatomaceus earth to deter insects from chewing on my plants Best of luck hope I solved the question ๐
@CoastGrower,Thanks for the advices buddy, I've just checked and secure all the branches 'cause it looks another storm is coming.
Have a nice one and enjoy your growing ;)
@Fredsai, your 11L pot is jist a little to small but it will work.
If you transplant an autoflower youโre stressing the plant to much and growth will stop for a couple days to up to a week. If you would have 5L pots I would transplant but now it will do more bad than good.
You are already stressing your plant with the broken stem, ALWAYS take some ducktape and try to fix it weedplants are the best self healers.. and never use sharp or thin things to bend her down๐
Only rain here.. normally it will get a bit better on friday.
My NL drinks 2.5 L every other day, big plants are thirsty :)
Good luck!
@CoastGrower, you called it man ๐ it's still growing bigger every day!! Actually I just noticed that the need of water increased drastically in the last couple of days and I had some thoughts about transplanting, I think she would fit much better in a bigger container, even though I'm afraid that it could have more Cons than Pros (I have an 11L plastic flower pot), what do u think?
@Fredsai, itโs getting warmer here so I canโt complain. Both are flowering nice. My Md doubled in size in 7 days :).
A little rain never killed no one.
@CoastGrower, we are still waiting for it!! ๐ I feel it's like an urban legend, oeple keep coming saying that "a storm is coming" but at the end nothing except for some light rain has showned in the last while! Hope the weather is kind with your plants โ
@Cannibalgardens, Thanks man :) I hope I will manage to trim it, dry it and cure it decently to keep the aroma, it will be my first time so I'll try not to ruin anything :) Good luck with your grows ๐
Our Cheese XXL auto well into bloom now and clearly loving the outdoor life ๐
Keep the updates coming my friend as harvest is getting closer ๐
All the best โ๏ธ
Mark..
@DinafemSeeds, Thank you mate, I'm so looking forward to taste it, it's the very first time I'm taking care of a plant (and an autoflowering) on my own, so I feel it really like a personal challenge :)
I'm writing right now, please have a look at the next two updates, I would greatly appreciate if you could advise on the current state of these buds ๐
Have a great one and cheers!!
Fred
@DILLIGAF, thank you so much man, I looked for it on google and you're right, it looks definitely like a grasshopper/cricket :) Especially thanks for the tip on diatomaceous earth (I was like: ๐ฎ diawhat?), I will study a little how to use it and certainly I'll try it!!
Is it recommended for growing only or it could be used also at some point in flowering?
Cheers and enjoying your growing ๐
