Gelato Auto
Gelato auto has been experiencing severe Cal/mag/iron deficiency. Watering with botanicare Cal/mag/iron, recharge and lemon for oh down.
I have been spraying the lower branches of the gelato with colloidal silver at approximately 80ppm once a day. No signs of pollen sacs but I've noticed from the last c.s. experiment that pollen sacs don't form until late into flower. So we will keep our fingers crossed.
The upper part of the gelato plant was pollinated with C4 pollen. I used qtips to apply the pollen and I applied pollen twice. Just in case.
Blackberry Auto
The Blackberry plant is as small as the gelato with a 6 large buds. Very unusual bare looking plant. Hardly any foliage. So far it's smaller than my previous Blackberry plants. It has some rust spots. In the future I will need to feed more Cal/mag/iron in it's early stages. Probably in week 3 if I keep the same nutrient line and medium. The Coco really eats up the iron I've noticed.
C4
The C4 is a healthy robust plant that hasn't shown any signs of nutrient deficiency. It's full and budding great. It's calyx are fat and pistills are orange.
Bruce Banner Photoperiod Bag Seed
This is a massive bushy plant that keeps topping itself. Seems like a real power house. No signs of defiencies.
I've topped and fim'ed it multiple times which wasnt necessary at all.
Healthy as hell. I'm going to try to turn this banner into a F1 fast version and an autoflower with the help of feminized C4 pollen or I will collect it's pollen if it's a male.
I will probably wait until next week to switch to 12/12 and see if this is a male or female.
I have too much electric on one breaker so I can only run two 400watt lights at a time.
Need to run new electric for my 2x3 Photoperiod room I haven't used yet.
My Auto plants at week 6 have formed pistils.
I don't feel like they are quite mature enough to pollinate yet.
I am basically at the halfway point of this grow. I don't want to miss the window to have fully mature seeds.
Any pollination methods/advice?
It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for auto seeds to mature so you have some time. I would give them a week or 2 to grow more pistils before pollinating. Don't stress about the seeds maturing because you can run seed making plants a few weeks past when you would normally harvest. I have pollinated autos 4 weeks into flower and got good seeds. I did a diary on making autoflower seeds you can check out also. Good luck!
i installed a 6" exhaust fan and carbon filter.
its trying to suck the entire tent up.
i have one 4" vent hole. it isn't enough.
what should i do? on a budget.
I'm sorry to say this but on a budget I think you may have to cut some holes... Still shouldn't let the smell out as long as you don't cut too many and the exhaust fan is always running....A better tent could also take care of your needs depending on budget. I hope this helps....I would say smaller fan but I think even that would fail with a 4 inch vent... happy growing ✌️👊
Some lovely buds on those ladies. Fat and frosty buds with dome lovely color. Fantastic work. Keep doing what your doing and may the ganja growing gods protect your ladies till the end growmie.
