28 days in now. Going to repot in a day or two. Need my clones to start showing roots though as the propagate is taking up too much room. Took them a week ago so shouldn’t be too much longer.
Nice grow you have a nice nutrient line up there. I would stick with your plan but start adding in lower dose of PK 13/14 about mid bloom then keep going and give your max dose just past the 3/4 bloom mark in order to get the most weight on those buds. Yes use a TDS meter to make sure you know whats going in and coming out of your pots to make sure shes feeding/eating all the nutes your giving her. I usually like to add some silica to my grows it builds stronger cell walls on the stalks and leaves to help support those heavy buds. Plus it adds a bit of extra potassium to the mix make sure to use it sparingly it's very alkaline and should be added to your water first before the rest of your nutrients. Hope this helps👍
Entering 2nd week of flowering. Now under a 600w hps light with an adjust-a-wing reflector. I’ll set my Wilma system up this week as I’m on holiday next week
Set up my Wilma system. Could do with some advice on how many 15 minute feeds I should do daily. I go on holiday Monday so they’ll be left on their own for a few days.
My plants are now in a Wilma system. Going to start drip feeding them tomorrow. How many 15 minute feeds should I give them daily? Any advice would be appreciated
Give them 3 to 4 feedings daily. With that set up u need to watch closely make sure the medium you are using isn't staying to dry or wet. It's kind of get it going and dial it in. Just watch it for the first week. Make sure you check everything thing to like your lines getting clogged. Other than that good luck I'll be following if you have further questions.
Been on holiday for a week so plants been in a Wilma system on four 15 minute feeds per day. Can’t believe how much they’ve stretched. Having to pull certain branches down in order to keep them away from the light. Also I’ve reverted to feeding them once a day.
Getting too close to the light for my liking. Had to start hand watering again as the plants stretched too much when using my Wilma system. Hopefully a bit of LST will keep them away from the light
Had to super crop my plants as they we’re getting too tall. They seem to have responded well to it. Hopefully it hasn’t held them back too much. Buds are slowly starting to fatten up. Thanks to @philandiculas for the advice.
Finished giving my plants a PK booster this week. Trichomes are still clear. Around 10% of pistols are turning brown. I reckon I’m about 2 weeks from harvest.
Had to start my flush as branches have started to snap due to the weight and I can’t get into my tent to tie them up. Around 40% of the pistols are amber and around 40% of trichomes are now cloudy. Could of done with an extra week but eh oh.
Had problems with the height of my plants so some of the buds foxtailed unfortunately. Still a lovely smoke. Does wonders for my back pain. Still got some drying also
Looks great! They have pushed you to the limits with the height any room left? You can also try to "Super crop" the tops to gain more space between the buds and your light. If you know how close the manufacturer recommends the light can be without burning them I would try to super crop them at a point just below that if the stems are still soft enough to do it without snapping them. It seems extreme but your at an early enough point where you can still do it with out messing up bud development too much. I'm just guessing I think you would need at least 18" maybe use your "grow question" and someone who's using HID lights can recommend a good distance for you to try.
@Philindicus, I took your advice and super cropped the plants. Doesn’t seem to have stresses them too much. Buds are starting to fatten up. Much appreciated
Hey Growmie,
Congrats on your harvest, super nice plants! 👍
I have two Sherbets in veg. at the moment, one in coco and one in soil. Stop by to have a look and give some feedback if you get the chance 😉☀️
I would keep going with the bloom booster if you don't see any signs of nutrient burn on your leaves your plants are big and hungry. Keep it up until about 50+% of your white pistils have dried. Then start checking your trichome color I typically will keep feeding until I have more cloudy/milky than clear trichomes. You may see a few stray amber trichome start to show up on some of the sugar leaves closer to the lights. I'm just guessing you may have 3+ weeks to go. This is when they will put on the most size and weight.
