Not the ideal week but things are still on track it seems.
Showed some yellowing on the OG fan leaves and then they rapidly yellowed from tip to root, bottom to top. When I noticed some yellowing on the other plants, I decided to add some nutrients off schedule. Added some organic crab meal to the top soil for a slow nitrogen boost, along with some Tiger Bloom. Exactly as you would suspect, a bit of a rookie move. There was a bit of burning, but nothing too bad and the yellowing has slowed.
The weather wasn't horrible but the temperature shot up to the 90s again, followed by some windy afternoons that aren't the best. I've got some garden ties on the way so I can replace my nylon zip ties with something a bit gentler.
I usually add nutrients on Sundays, but given that the weather has cooled, and the pots seem to be a bit wet on the bottom, I'm going to let them rest. They're out of the direct sun today since I want to keep them out of the heavy wind that's flowing over the mountains and through the valley.
For bug control, hit them and the top soil with a bit of spinosad earlier in the week - hoping the last time I have to do that.
Additionally, saw a caterpillar or two, so sprayed with BT spray last night. Looking good on that front. Just need to keep the dog hair out of them now!
In reality, they've been so good up this point, just hoping nothing drastic happens in these last few weeks!
I lost my labels early in the grow. 6 plants, 2 of each. I've paired them and know which two are the OG Kush. I think I've labeled the Jack and Bubble Gum correctly but could have them swapped. Anyone with an expert eye able to confirm based on these photos?
Sadly it will be almost impossible to tell with total accuracy. But from the bud structure that i'm seeing from pics online and from your photo's it looks like you got them marked right.. Bubblegum has that more bulb like bud structure.. Hope this helps friend! Happy growing! 👊
My OG Kush are ready! Trichomes are all cloudy with a good little of amber. Pistils are >70% brown and she looks nice. I watered this morning and the pot is still feeling heavy. Should I chop tomorrow morning or give it an extra dry out day? Does it matter? Anything else?
Hi
Since you've been feeding lightly the need to heavily flush goes down in my opinion. You already have a nice fade going on so I'd say if you haven't flushed, give them one or two good drenchings at least, and then chop them down. So if you only did the 1 gallon water today, go out there and dump another 2 in the pot...then wait 2 days and chop.
Happy harvesting.
i flushed and then added some Tiger Bloom to make up for a phosphorous deficiency. did i push another one into hermie status? i just tossed a hermie that was too tough to keep up with and had low growth. i'm hoping not to lose this one! what do you think - hermie or no?
Hello
I know hermies are a nightmare...but sometimes they're not as bad as you expect. I wouldn't throw this one out...it's got some beautiful buds growing and you will get some nice flower out of it...maybe a couple seeds too but eh that's ok. If you have other plants just move this one to the other side of the yard.👍
We're getting 14-15 hours of strong sunshine a day. Now that I'm late flower, should I move my autos into a spot that will get shade for half of the day? Seems like they may not need to be pounded by this much light/heat at this point and could use more down time.
Bud rot or normal purpling underneath? First grow and harvest and found some purple when cutting off the fan leaves before hanging to dry (going to dry trim). Anything I should be looking for in particular. I don't see any other signs of mold.
These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?
If it got pollinated by it's self.. the buds will stop growing. If the trichomes are showing the color's you want i'd just lop that hermie and call it done.. Hope this helps friend.. Happy growing! 👊
I'm early in the harvest window based on the trichomes (looks great!). There's a decent number of bananas coming through the buds. Are bananas at this stage THAT big of a deal? Let it mature more or chop it ASAP? Interested in your experiences with these. Thanks!
Depends how close you have other plants & if you want them seeded or not, I just had the same problem in my first run and I didn’t realize until almost harvest but the bud still smells & smokes amazing just a few seeds! I would just let her finish! Hope this helps friend & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱
Personally I wouldn't opt black bags outside, they heat up in the sun.
BTW, I hear it's best to roll the jiffy pods after hydrating to dry them out a bit, I'm still debating if I want to use them.
@Naturalist, definitely a great call. I'll see if they are different than the one light bag. Wish I had thought about that ahead of time. Appreciate that callout.
Man beautiful grow! I'm on my very first attempt at growing anything ever! Really could use any tips you might have! It's a Notorious T.H.C. From Humboldt Seed Company! Cheers and Happy Growing!!
