@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks for the info, my friend! This is the first time I hear about rinsing the plant during bloom period. Isn't it dangerous for buds and trichs? I thinks it's one of the main reasons they don't use foliar feeding in mid-bloom. I know some of them clean buds with peroxide of hydrogen when they harvest. They do it like using 3 different water mixes of different water properties (hot/cold, H2O2 +/- etc.), then let buds dry for about 4 hours and start slow drying process within low temperatures (9 C), lets say in the fridge, which will take about 3 weeks. And then follow up with Curing. Following you advice, I've tried to taste some leaves and they were not bitter (they say it should be when there are a lot of nuts inside). After the last feeding, just about 10 hours later I saw some more Fan leaves getting yellow. I wonder what was wrong, it was only 1000ppm there. So today (3 days after) I flushed her with RO water 30ppm (pH 6) and got 630ppm (pH6.5) runoff. I found it normal and decided to increase the numbers once again like giving 15%>N / 30%>P / 25%>K / 15-25%>Micros / 50%>Mg +more aminos using more Cal-Mag-X, Micro and Bloom. Finally my Mix was 1200-1300 ppm (pH5.7). I'll check tomorrow how these girls feel and make up my mind on future actions. I shall also upload fresh pics of "yellowing" i was speaking above. Thanks for being in touch!

@@motaman311, I also want to give them more time to mature and to grow bigger )) You are absolutely right, I should take a sample of some Calyxes (in my case - that was a sample of a Sugar leaf, not the Fan). B4RNS says something close to what you did the next post after. They continue to grow, so that's why I wanna continue feeding a lil more. And as I have a cleaning product of AN (Flawless Finish), I think several flushes would be enough which would take 1 week in my case watering 1/3 days. Big thanks for your participation, dude! @JUNGLE_B4RNS, Yes man, seems like they drink the same amounts: 2L for 18L pot (16-17L maybe even as it's not fully loaded with). Want to remind you that there are 2 plants in this 1 pot :)) And the main answer - they do swell much compared to how they looked like 2 weeks ago. That's why I want to feed a lil more. I also feed every watering. It was not a problem in the past as I gave much less ppm, but for the next watering I suppose I should somehow make my NPK lower or use just RO_water+Cal-Mag+Organic_additives & Boosters. Your opinion on this would be highly appreciated, my friend :) Thanks for assist!

@whopee, keep only : Bud Candy , Sensizyme, Alg-A-Mic, Acti-Vera, Bio-Heaven, GHE Flora Bloom, for another week then give them a good flush and let them finish on plain water only . Harvest in 2 weeks approximately

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Yes man, they are, right you are... :) Thanks for you being keeping in touch with us! I would appreciate that much if you could expand your idea on feeding. Since 3rd week I feed these "2 girls inna 1 pot" with 2L of solution 1/3 days (including the day of feeding). So we can say 2L for 3 days they got there. * As you all told me to prepare for Nuts_cut_off & Flushing period I decided to check what's up with my Runoff, so I checked it these last 2 feedings. It took me ~2.5L of RO_water (15-20ppm) to get runoff: - after feeding with 1000 ppm (+30% PK) 3 waterings ago I got: 630ppm / 6.5ph - after next one with 1200-1300 ppm (+15%N / +30%PK) I got: 660ppm / 6.1ph - so the last one like yesterday I gave the same amounts of 1300 ppm. Speaking about 700-900 ppm you advise, what should I cut off? N/P/K together by the same %, or PK only? My current P/N ratio = 240% (I give not many N, but still > by 15-20% than many other charts say by this stage). Asking this to receive the goal we were speaking about - "they can give me more" :D The Pros that tell me not to give much less: - there are 2 plants in a pot; - the runoff ppm didn't rise much after I gave +300ppm of Nuts; - nowadays I flush 2.5L before using Nuts solution, so as I suppose, those 1300ppm can be considered like diluted by some% (when I feed 2L after that flushing - I get about 1.3 back out as the soil is already wet and the drainage is perfect). Maybe I should stop those regular flushing before feedings and just give less ppm like you advised? I understand that with flushing I loose some of my Soil resources & mb even microbes while cleaning it from salt buildups as well. Need your tips, Dude :) Thanks in advance!

JUNGLE_B4RNScommented5 years ago

@whopee, that’s what I’ve tough, they’re still swelling and can give you more. Light feeding + Mag Sulfur ( not Cal-Mag at this stage bro 😉 ) + Enzymes . Stop any PK boosters 🛑 Keep it between 700 to 900 ppm’s

moin moin, hier werde ich mal auf deutsch antworten. Gib deinem Mädel von heute an nur noch wasser mitBudcandy... um die vielen zutaten aus ihren system zu spülen.Stell die Lady in die badewanne oder dusche und spüle sie ordentlich mit kalten langsam laufenden wasser durch. lass sie noch für 1-2 std abtropfen und dann wieder zurück in den growschrank. wenn möglich mche das vor der lichtperiode. Bzw so daß sie noch ein paar stunden wärme und licht und luft hat zu trocknen. Dies wiederholst du alle 3-5 Tage. Die blätter werden sich deutlich entfärben und auch der " runoff" wird eine andere farbe bekommen. Du kannst ja jetz mal ein blatt nehmen und zerkauen und dir merken wie es schmeckt. Nachdem du gespült hat sollte das blatt süßer und neuttraler schmecken. so weißt du dass die ganzen dünger und ilfstofe aus der pflanze sind

@Mrs_Larimar, ohh, I see now, thanks for the comment... I used translator to get your GE post )) what temperature would you recommend?

Mrs_Larimarcommented5 years ago

@whopee, iam talking about flushing not rinsing.. and no if you go in the bottom area and flush the soil... happens nothing, because you are taking cold water too.. cold water is the sign of hey comon its time for harvest. some do their flushing with icebubes. So if you do it or not .. is your descision... and the yellowing in that stage is just a sign of getting ready....

Gorgeous. Can't wait for mine to get to this stage. Good job!

@@Mr_Mary_Jane, thx, Friend! I think soon :) I FIMed them both so they showed preflowers a bit later (I suppose), by the end of 5th week. The flowers started to show by 6th and a big stretch was seen by the 7th week there.

Here we are - the reply from Nirvana Seeds being well received: "There are a number of factors that can influence the duration of the flowering cycle, hence the irregular numbers you find online. Our flowering times on our website are just a guideline and set on grows in optimal conditions. If there is any environmental factors that has negative effect on your plants, it can extend the flowering period. But if your growing environment is optimal, your plants should have a sprout to harvest cycle of between 11 to 13 weeks". Sooooo, since Manu puts it this way, 13 - is my favourite number :)) We'll try sticking to this mark having 1,5 week in stock at least and be wise the same time.. Groundhog saw the Shade :D btw, posted some new pics relating to yellowing after previous feeding I was speaking about. You can also check the way I play with Nuts formula there. It looks complicated, but it's just a Table with feeding rates of 5 different charts and comparison (%) to the numbers I play with (focus on the bright Yellow headings. "Main" - last feeding / "Test" - previous one)

whopeecommentedweek 125 years ago

The life period for this strain (AK48 Auto by Nirvana) is stated like 56 within my local dealer. But still can't get, whether it's from germination or just flowering period length... It would be nice to get this information from Nirvana (they don't have it right now at the store, so no official data for me). I'll Try to contact em via e-mail. Right now we are 79/44 of total/bloom respectively.
