Everything seems to be going well plenty of sun past few days....the lady is loving it, although I am having to bring her in most nights as it's still a little cold
Weather has been great up till today, now it's way to windy and possible heavy rain so my lady might b inside under the light for a few days until weather changes again.
Hi buddy :-) When flower pistils appear, it means that you are preparing your prepack. Here you continue to give vegi food until the stamp begins to develop into a bud, then you can give flower food 👍
Has been really sunny this last week so she has been soaking up the rays and when the sun starts to fade she is put in the tent for a few more hours of light, hopefully it pays off but only time will tell.
Almost into week 5 now all good so far, I don't think FIMing worked as I still have a central stem but seems to have stunted growth vertically but increased horizontally which I suppose was kind of the intention, opinions welcome I'd like to no what people think please.
Looks great! The fim can take awhile to show all it's new growth. Did it on mine but wasn't so impressed. I feel topping did just as good of a job and spread out my plant better also! Happy growing it will be a nice harvest!
This week has shown pretty steady growth while starting to flower at every available site, I will continue to increase bloom nutes as I decrease growth nutes
I'm not sure if it's normal in soil but when I applied nutrients at 350 ppm the runoff was closer to 500 ppm, I am following the vitalink feeding schedule for earth Max grow+bloom and she seems to be doing will no nute burn or leaf curling, is this the right ppm?
If the runoff is higher than the, that means your are feeding too much, slightly. Not enough to worry about, she probably already have some nutes in the soil. 👍🌱
She has shown pretty consistent growth this week I can already see flowers getting bigger day by day, I managed to get the runoff ppm down with just plain ph'd water when she got thirsty so she will get a feed in next couple of days to prepare for the big swell, can't wait for her to mature!
With the EarthMax Grow you usually want to start dropping it out as soon as you start the flowering weeks. Not that you cant use it for a few weeks into flowering...but I think it was smart of you to remove it. Many bloom nutrients still contain a very minor N amount which is all you need now.
This week she has been growing nicely developing flowers at every available site, I increased nutes but she also had some coconut water a few days before her feed and she really seems to have liked that, getting ready for a p/k boost in next week or so will see how she looks and decide accordingly.
4 days since her last feed at full dose bloom nutes 4ml/l bloom 1ml/l buddy, she didn't like that at all but I think I caught it in time as soon as I saw nute burn the following day, lucky enough she dries the pot pretty quick so I was able to do a light flush which seems to have stopped further nute burn, all seems stable now I will do another pure pH'd water then proceed lightly with nutes.
5 days after nute burn was spotted second light flush done today, hopefully I can start with a light feed next time so as not to rid her of all nutes, hopefully this feeding hiccup will not hold her potential potency back to much as she is starting to smell pretty tasty already.
My gorilla seems to have a small amount of nute burn on about 50% of her leaves not to much I'm worried about because it's since I hit her with full bloom nutes 4ml/l with full dose 1ml/l of buddy question is how do I carry on the nute schedule if my plant don't like it?
Hello
If you want to try to get the burnt tips away i would flush the plant with plain ph'd water and then come through with a gallon of .5 dose nutrients so that it isn't empty. If the plants responding poorly to the increase then either lower the nutrient levels or only water once a week with the heavy dose, either option will hopefully be gentle enough to stop the plant getting more burnt tips but still provide a boost in nutrition.
Happy growing. ✌️
Should I worry or should she be ok, watered with plain pH 6 water 81ppm runoff 221ppm no further burn but will this slow her down and as I'm sure it was bloom nute that caused the burn should I even bother with p/k in next few weeks if she can't handle bloom and buddy?
Hello
With your burn spreading to more than just the tips is a good sign there's more happening than just a typical nute burn. Since you're growing in soil I'd suggest raising your ph up to at least 6.4-6.6 having it down at 6 will give a higher possibility of locking out calcium which needs 6.2 or higher. I think running consistently a touch low will run the risk of slowing her down like you mentioned.
I'd go through with a higher phd water and give it a good soak, check the runoff while you're doing it and then you'll probably be fine to add in the pk shortly afterwards.
Happy flowering.✌️
Bit of a slow week due to nute burn and having to flush her slightly, THC glands appearing more and more but hopefully I can start to feed at a reduced dose and bloom will resume without to much of a detrimental effect on her potential, I will be treading lightly and will possibly consider leaving the final p/k boost out completely now as I don't think I will have the time to administer it nor do I think she would handle it.
Updates will follow.
After checking the trichomes at 100x magnification of which 80-90% are cloudy how do I approach this as the calyxes have not swollen, will she swell, should I wait longer? Help please I don't want couchlock bud but I don't want to harvest before she swells do I?
Slow week not alot of change other than lots of orange/brown pistels and trichomes turning pretty much all cloudy...but still yet to swell 🤨 IV always known the swell to happen before the trichomes mature but may be genetics or dodgy pheno? Hopefully she swells soon or I have just essentialy wasted space in my tent for 9 weeks.
Another slow week but trichomes are at about 10%-20% amber and the buds are still swelling, she has been flushed with 3L flawless finish then 6 hours later about 8gal of distilled water at 24°c bringing the final ppm down from 400 to 17 ppm, I think that's good enough for me as I couldn't seem to drop it any further and I ran out of distilled water 🤬 she really does stink now though and is super sticky so hopefully even though she hasn't produced as much as I had hoped for what she has produced smells top notch, I will wait for her to dry up all the water and use her nute reserves then it's lights out for 48 hrs before she gets the chop 🤩 can't wait to try the finished product.
