May the force be with you 💪

@Master_weeda Thanks for the tips. I've already done a lot of research but I don't think that these bugs are fungus gnat. I'll try also with Diatomaceous Earth. Below you can see a pic (done by me) of the flying bug (looks like fungus gnat): https://forum.grasscity.com/attachments/20191022_185253-jpg.2697288/

@xs8,I have no idea about the type of insects involved but you should spray your plants with a teaspoon of soft black soap diluted in a liter of warm water with a drop of neem oil c the best insecticide natural👍 Once a week until flowering🌱 I invite you to learn about Google while waiting for the force to be with you💪

@Master_weeda Do you have any idea about the little bugs that are annoying my plants? 🤔 (you can find more details in the week comment)

Do you have the lights on for 20 hours at a time? Or is that info above not accurate?

Dubb79commented5 years ago

@xs8, I would think so. You should harvest based on the color of the trichomes. You'll want to cut them down when the trichromes are at least 80% cloudy. Right now they are clear, but they will turn cloudy, then amber colored. Cutting at mostly cloudy ensures you get the highest THC content that you can. Better to harvest 2 weeks late rather than 1 week early. 👽

@Dubb79, Do you still think that my plants are 1 month far from harvest?

@xs8, I didn't realize that you were growing an auto-flowering strain, so I guess 20 on / 4 off is ok. 😊

@Whitoutduty, OK, that's strange. I made the cut like in the photos you showed me, do you have any idea why my FIM failed? 🤔

Whitoutdutycommented5 years ago

@xs8,Yep!😀 www.youtube.com/watch at 10:47, https://www.autoflowering-cannabis.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/topping-vs-fimming-21.jpg https://yummyweed.co/topping-fiming/ http://www.plantwithbenefits.com/topping-or-fiming/ Best regards

@Whitoutduty, Ahah, I searched a lot on Google to see how a FIMmed plant looks after fully recover, but I didn't find anything. Do you have any photo where I can see how a successful FIM should look like? 😂

Looking back at your previous weeks, it it seems that you may have been giving them too much nutrients. The plants may not have been taking them all up at that point, but now that they are into the flowering stretch they are likely soaking up the unused nutrients in the soil; leading to the burn.

@Dubb79, I think you were right, I flushed yesterday and until now no more yellow leaves :D

xs8commented5 years ago

@Dubb79, I gived more nutrients because the NPK ratio was too small, but maybe you are right about the unused nutrients, I'll try with a flush, thanks! 😁

Looking good!! 😃 I noticed most of your leaves have 5 fingers. Do you have any 7 or 9 fingered leaves?

Dubb79commented5 years ago

@xs8, Oh, just curious about the number of fingers. Just another oddity about cannabis genetics I find interesting. 😁

@Dubb79, I had a few 7 fingered leaves but removed during trimming, why? =)

You could also clip another bud or two, let them air dry (no oven), and test smoke again. If the taste and buzz are satisfactory for you, then hey, that's all that matters isn't it. 👽

@Dubb79, I couldn't resist so I took more small buds and dried in the oven again, but this time got me pretty high... The only problem is that is more like a sativa high and I love the couch knockout effect. I'll wait more in order to let more trichomes to turn amber 😁

Looking great. 😃 What is your new method for LST? What was your old method?

like 1

xs8commented5 years ago

@Dubb79, Thanks :D Is not really a method, just a better way to tie down them. Now I'm using clothes-pin to fix the garden string (before I was just pushing the string through the soil) so it's more stable and the stem can't anymore unfix the gardening string 😂

My non-expert opinion is that they are not suffering from light burn. In my experience it is nearly impossible to burn them with a 100W LED. The curling of the leaves is likely from over-watering. Browning of perlite can also be a sign of too much water. Don't give up! They look fine and will take off soon!! 👽

@Dubb79, Thank you 😁 I've started to water them with only ~0.35L water per pot instead of 1L and now the soil is drying much quicker and they look more healthy 😍

Patience. You must be very patient at this point. Clipping a bud or two to test was not a bad idea just to test it out. But they are not ready yet. You will be able to tell when the trichomes turn amber by comparing them to the pics you posted this week. This is the point in the grow where most growers (especially newer growers) make the mistake of cutting too early. If you want your efforts to pay off, trust me, wait longer. It will be worth it. 👽

@Xs8 Dude stop too feeding you're plants and saturating the top few inches of soil, it's over watering for one specially if youre getting gnats and the best way yoo water is bottom feed. they take what they want as they want, dont let plants sit in water for more than 12 hours , thiers a real possibility of rotting roots this way, Lots of perlite like you have is great but you just need too hold back on the water! Do you plan on putting them in a bigger pot? Mine are in 14L

xs8commented5 years ago

@Bashgrowsitall1989 I'll try bottom feeding with just one of my plants in order to see the differences. Thanks mate! 😁

Bashgrowsitall1989commented5 years ago

@xs8, Yes, the soil will work like a wick and will soak the water up, u also want those roots too be searching as far down as they can for Easter as this will make you're plant super strong!

@Bashgrowsitall1989 Alright, I understand, but leaving the water into the bottom tray isn't dangerous? Now the seedlings are little, so are the root, how can the root get access to the bottom water?
