It is hard to check out her trichomes because her trichomes are very small. I noticed a view amber ones but the she still alot white hairs and her buds are still getting bigger. I know i talk alot about her density and big buds but every week they are getting bigger and bigger. Impressive!
The Knowledge Grow!
Every week i'm going to add 1 interesting fact about plants, growing, or scientists that helped us to understand the flora.
How to flush cannabis plants
Flushing cannabis simply involves running pure water though the soil or medium. When trying to stop a nutrient lockout or when switching nutrients, perform a flush by excessively watering your plants with water that has a pH level between 5.5-6.5 (for hydroponics) or 6.0-6.8 (for soil). Fully saturate your pots, and repeat 15 minutes later. The flush should clear any blockage and make room for your new feeding schedule.
To be certain a flush was successful, you can use a TDS (total dissolved solids) reader to determine how pure the water runoff is. You want the TDS reading of the water draining out of the pot to be close to the TDS reading of the pure water you are flushing with. This reading will ensure that the nutrients have been washed out of the soil.
When looking to perform a flush before harvest, there are more factors to consider. Make sure your plants will be ready for harvest once the flush is complete. Flushing too early or too late will result in a lower-quality product.
Different growing mediums require different flushing time frames before harvest:
Soil: 2 weeks
Rockwool and coco: 1 week
Hydroponics: 1 week or less
When not to flush cannabis plants
The only time flushing is not encouraged is when you are growing in amended organic soil. This is because your soil already holds all the nutrients the plants need to thrive. By flooding the soil, you can wash away and damage the complex ecosystem that you’ve worked so hard to develop in the soil itself. Furthermore, these plants almost always receive pure water during waterings. The nutrient uptake by plants in this environment is natural, diverse, and easy for the plant to process.
Once you’ve properly flushed and harvested your garden, it’s important to dry and cure the cannabis correctly. It is through a quality flush and a long cure that your cannabis will be able to fully express itself.
Nice grow, ShotGunBob! I like the knowledge! That shit is crazy that they can communicate with each other! Damn, I learn something new every day.. Thanks growmie
@@@@ShotGunBob, she is pretty. I love autos have come so far, with quality, variety and speed. Unreal the bud colas produced by some strains of autos. I just like to play with my plants too much.
@SimpleDiaries, look at the third picture in week 5. I start to bend my girls down and let the branches grow up. When the branches are big enough I bend them down too.
I ALWAYS check my runoff to make sure there is no buildup of any kind.. My first 2 grows I did not check and I always ran into some problems.. Ever since Ive ALWAYS checked runoff.. At least 2 times a week if not EVERY watering.. Buds are looking gorgeous.. Im harvesting my Bloody Skunk Auto from Sweet Seeds tomo.. Day 107!!! I cant wait!!! Thanks for the knowledge growmie!!
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Keep doing what you are doing and have the growing ganja gods protect your women until the growth is complete.
Shotgun Bob,
That's some kick-but veg growth going there!! Looks like you just flipped the girls, can't wait to see how she progresses. My first attempt at using soil very nearly turned into a disaster - was able to just pull some out at the end, but I'd love to give it another whirl sometime in the near future - I'll have to study your diaries to get some pointers. Have a good one!!
