Ok so I'm new. On disability so flat broke. What can I feed her? I changed to a big fat 400w bulb. After giving the roots a good chance to grow on an 18/6 schedule, I've topped the 6th node. Pruned the first 2 nodes off...were weak. I gave her 2 days to recover now 24 light
Hello GutterHoe, Your girl is looking great.
I see you already started training her, your a good dad 👍
To answer your question, your plant need Nitrogen-Foshpor-Potassium (N-P-K) as her food also calium and magnesium.
And it would be helpfull to use something with sugar for the soil. (molasses)
I think you can buy a discount package from some nutrient companies just for one grow, one plant and that has everything you need for the full lifecycle.
Maybe the only thing you need to buy is ph corrector, depending on the water and nutes ph up or down.
Thats worth your buck, if you buy al the nutes bottle for bottle, you got a lot more nutes than you need.
Hope this was an helpfull answer my friend, if so give the answer a like.
And always keep on growing. Peace 😎
Tried my own thing on pruning. It's exploding. 4 main colas. 2 on the next node. Going to 4000w full spectrum led for flowering in another week. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. It's my first grow.
This being your first grow doing great in a bucket to good to see .she looks healthy and training we'll be careful to maintained that environment as she will need to be watched more so now as you head into flowering and nutrients always go along way so start light and see how she reacts .. heres to hoping she puts on the stretch for you and don't put light to close out it higher then you would like and check on it light burn sucks . Cheers
Had a slow week to start when I switched to 12/12 but after 2 days it's acting normal again. Had to slow my watering. Researched that and found its normal when switching. Kicked on the 4000w led for flowering so hoping to high powered light on 1 plant helps build big buds. Lmk wyt.
So defoilated heavy at the beginning of the week. 2 days of shock then she is blasting off. She's at about 24-28 inches. Bottom buds are catching up in size. 4000w led grow light is awesome. Wish it had a better PAR value but it will do. Kept her short
So the week went well. She loves to be naked. I trim her small fan leaves daily to keep it clean and shock low. SUGAR is just everywhere. I'm using 1tsp of tiger bloom in 2 quarts for two waterings then one just water. Ended the week with huge buds forming everywhere. Zoom in
Got some tiger bloom coming and it's a 10 week flower so plenty of time. Being my first grow I guess my questions an easy one..Hows it looking? I'm going to start at half nutes and increase until I see a bit of nute burn then back off. Very small increases.
The plant is looking great. You did right with the defoliation and she is set up perfect to produce great buds from top to bottom. I would really suggest that you try to look at it opposite from your approach on the feed though. You will get better results from keeping your feed at a low dose and monitor her daily for deficiencies rather than feeding her more until she says she has had too much. It is always easy to add nutrients and cure a deficiency but it is impossible to repair a damaged plant from overfeeding. Most plants won't ever need more than 3/4 dose of fox farms nutrients. If you want to maximize your harvest weight then add the fox farms soluble trio to your feed in small doses. The Beastie bloomz works wonders! Good luck
So as the week ends and I draw closer to harvest(10 weeks of flower 17 in all) of my first ever grow I trimmed dried and smoked a bottom bud that was wasting nutes. Jesus God in heaven it's got a kick already. Send me a like! Make a comment. I'm here alot.
Week wound down without any issues. I'm thinking that it's almost harvest but the times not right if it's a pheno. 4 weeks early. Could it be an auto? Please look at my tri pic and comment if you think it's harvest time.
Ok so I'll post a picture of the stem I have drying. It's lower weight than expected but I now know why. It wasn't a photo. So by sticking to a photo schedule I was robbing it of minimum 6 hrs of flower growing light a day. I found the seed in a bag. Meh! Live and learn. All things considered I'm guessing in the 4+ oz area. Will post weights later.
In the future is there a way other then just extending veg to see if a random bag seed is an auto or pheno? Got some POWERFUL smoke but lost so much in weight. Over 4 oz is great for my first ever grow at almost 50 yrs old but I wanted perfection.
You always have pheno(types) mo mater if you are using auto(flowering) or photo(periodic) strain , every variations of a same strain is called a phenotype.
So it's simple , you keep your plant under veg during at least 1 month and a half , the plants that are not flowering by themselves are photo(periodic) and the others are autos.
She's topped and cropped. Took to the Super cropping like a champ. She loving 24 hrs of light. Should flower in 2 weeks so getting exciting for my first grow
Plant uses decomposed materials. Basically, any left over food makes great leave fertilzer. Feed with:
Table scrap - make compost tea first.
Garden trash - leaves, flowers, and fruit - make compost tea from freshly cut leaves.
Very small amount of manure - dilute it big time - get you through vegging.
Little package of sugar once in a while to feed the microbes in the soil.
Spoiled milk is also a great fertilizer.
Don't pee or crap on your plants. Rumors had it that these are too strong and can kill ganja.
Ok guys really need some input. Look at my last tri pic. I posted it today. Like all cloudy. No Amber yet but it's like 4 weeks early for a pheno. Is it possible it was an auto flower?
My god was I lucky for my first grow. One tough strain. Everything I've done she's accepted happily. Using 2 tsp of tiger bloom in 2 quarts of water every other day n she loves it.
