Week 3, at least for the biggest one of them, the other 2 are leftovers that are 1 week younger, just running together in this journal, they get the same feed like the indoors. All 3 had been invaded by aphid's, sprayed them with water and vinegar that's where the burn spots on the big one are from but not that bad, i sprayed them late but the morning sun still burned the leaves a bit. Interesting to see how the biggest one develops different leaves than the other 6 greenpoison XL Auto seeds and its the only plant that is not in Cannabis soil, just shows how much impact the soil has, the soil i used for that 1 plant is filtered garden soil, not very ideal but i wanted to do a test with that. The leaves are much more narrow, almost like the difference you would see between a Indicia and Sativa plant but not as extreme.
Hi guys, quick question about my outdoor crop, I saw that i have some Thrips under my leaves, some small marks here and there, the plants are in flower and I don't want to do any damage to the already built trichomes.. Best organic way to get rid of them ?
@Pot_Portraits hi mate I would apply a layer of diatomaceous earth across the soils surface this stuff will stop them in there tracks I would not recommend spraying anything now your in flower Hope this helps Next time you may want to look into the benefits of nematodes and other beneficial bacteria that will feed on the bad bugs larvae
Well done on the grow so far looks really good ๐
Alright, the Plants are doing great, the oldest one which is one week ahead of the others is ready soon. I normally just give tab water for a week before cutting the plant. Now my question: what do you think about flushing with Molasses, I red that somewhere online.
You are using BioBizz nutrients and BioGrow is more or less just molasses :) So I would just continue giving them what you are providing right now. I think the reason BioBizz recommends using plain water for the last week is that continuing to give nutrients would just be a waste of money. The plants cannot uptake organical stuff directly, but it needs to be broken down by some micro organisms in the soil which takes some days. But beware: My "knowledge" is only theoretical, I'm not an experienced grower. Just had great success with this BioBizz stuff and was simply following their schedulde.
@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks Apolo, that's the plan to add some diatomaceous earth, humidity is pretty high these days, hard to control in the greenhouse but will try to increase airflow ๐ช๐
@Sweet_Seeds, Thank you Apolo ! the Plants are drying already, gonna update the diary soon. The indoor green poison i have under 400w looks amazing, will also update on that, they will be ready next week :)
@DILLIGAF, Thanks a lot for the Tip ! i just red this to late, i already sprayed the leafs with some organic stuff against thrips but i will get the earth you mentioned anyway just to prevent any future damage ! ๐๐
@Pot_Portraits, I thought about it some more and my hypothesis is that when it's too hot aka the environment isn't perfect the plant grows less and even sort of shuts down and drinks less... Would that make any sense do you think ?
@CRiSPrGrow, :D no worries, im just suprised because i water them so rarely, i let them dry till they cry now :D its 35 c all day here so shouldnt take so long.
@Pot_Portraits, I'm not criticising or anything okay, but there aren't a thousand reasons you get thrips in your soil... So you see the puffy space between the veins of your leafs + those wrinkles on there ? That's the tell tale sign of overwatering , give them at least one more day of drying out or until the leafs thin out. For example I'm growing in solo cups right now , outdoors in heatwave heat and I've not had to water for three days. Maybe that doesn't surprise you but I'm impressed ... Just something I've picked up and learned that I do think might be of helps... If you know all this just ignore me lol ๐๐ป
Also a colder water flush last few days with some ice to simulate late fall and possibly increase the flavour profile also again does it really help I can't say for sure ..
@Pot_Portraits,I hear I did the 48 darkness and colder ice water but yes does it matter if it's an autoflower lots of questions but finding factual answers can be hard at times ..
@Cannibalgardens, I did some research and as far as I can tell the only thing iv'e found with actual lab results was dark periods, 48 hours being the ideal to increase thc and thca and also increase terpine profiles.
I heard about Ice flushing and flushes with boiled water but so far couldn't find any actual data, do you know of any ? Also the question is do autos really care if its fall or not? because Auto's grow on a set time line. Many question marks :D
