Girls are looking healthy. One plant is 2 days behind the rest for some reason unknown. Has been since germination. 2 plants may look small but the growth of the last one is much stronger judging by the tops new growth.
Busy week. Had some curling at leaf tips at day 30. So transplanted next day from 2 gallon to 7 gallon mesh bag. ROOTS WERE FULL! Watered plants till pots were heavy (2.5 gallons for all 5) Waited 24 hours about and tied down the 4 tops made from 8 days ago. They are on their third node so I figured it was a good place to transplant and tie. I tied under the first nodes and am waiting till next monday to top, and tie between the first and third nodes that we will be leaving to give us 16 tops in groups of 4. So it's important we do not remove the first nodes here pre topping.
It was good. Just wondering if I'm doing it right? I didnt give it the grow big this week cus I use that every water and figured there's some left in the soil from it drying. Poop (the guano) re-moistens I assumed lol.
So I accidently split one of my plants trying to level out one side with the other by tightening the ties.... i tapped it and tied it.
Is this plant gonna still grow ok or am I gonna need to tie up each branch when budding?
Don't worry as long as you keep it tied down, it will recover and get really strong.
Keep it tied because it might split up again when getting heavier buds.
Am starting flower and was wondering how to do the sun tan effect without burning to bring out color. Should I drop my flowering light down from 18in to 14 in the last hour of the day then back up to 18 after rest the last two weeks of flower? Or is my guess completely off?
Sun tan effect, skip that. Sounds like shit. Buy few UV bulbs and whip some ultra violet radiation for plants now and then. Even easier is to grow right, do the basics and a lot of trichome rich, potent buds will he produced that way 👍
This week was stressful. First I posted half way thru the week about a split from over tieing, second I posted about a mistake where I forgot my soul has 4 to 6 weeks of Ph balanced feed, finally I have to announce that due to the soil sinking so much from watering and tieing to the bags..... I added soil... this caused the strings to apply just enough pressure to split another plant down the center as well...... I have tied it with duct tap again but am now going into this having two issues to watch...
So I was wondering about plant anatomy, I have been pinching off new branches from the intra nodes. Denying the plant new tops making 16 main tops. Will buds still form down the 16 mains from the top or did I just pick all the buds sites down the plant...!?
Looks like you did a great job, you've got a lot of tops which is what you want, I'm sure you're not wanting any popcorn buds? SO... If the answer is no? PERFECT JOB !!!
Switched to flower on wednsday. Gave them one feeding of nutrients and then 1 feeding of plain water. I'm starting to see some yellowing so I backed the light off a bit and I'm gonna give it nutrients as soon as first drys a bit. Prolly just hungry cus they have grown alot!.
The plants all look healthy going thru this first budding phase we are almost done with week 2 of flower which will end on wednsday. I bought some pot elevators, and tied apart a few tops growing closer together. All plants tops look even except the first split plant which has a few stretchers, Not to bad tho. I feed 2 times a week and the rest straight distilled water which reads 6.5 ph. Assuming my coco's natural ph balance is wearing slime starting week 3, I'm going to ph to 6.2.
One plant had a big stretch late this week. But I believe it was due to me placing the middle plant in the back right because my middle light is an older model without bloom switch. And I wanted the nicer plant under the red leds, but over night that next night, it grew like 4 inches above my canopy :/ but i think I'm going to tie the 2 middle stretchers on her to the middle opposing stalks. I started the besties because the buds are formed nicely on top so now I want to start giving some size focused mid bloom nutrients. Going by the schedual so far for flower on my nutrient chart. Oh and when I started using the bud candy I noticed some AMAZING smells that I've never smelt on a strain before. The new tricomes smell like a cotton candy/gummyworm, and the water leaves when cut off smelt like straight gas/diesel. But the 2 smells are not present together. Its weird. Forgot cal mag this week
With the way they look right now would tieing every arm apart a little at week 4 be safe and make a difference? Or should I leave them alone being so late into flower?
Week 4 has been a stable steady weeks. Stretch has ended and buds are filling out. We had some light and heat stress one day this week that turned some hairs orange. I did check all plants and I do not see and male parts. So I believe they turned due to stress. We will see.
OKAY!!! I followed everything I had learned from others I know, and studying non stop for months to do this right. I saved up money to get my equipment and I decided to give it a try. I found this site looking at pictures of amazing buds from so many different people and watching so many grow videos and always dreaming of having a good grow like I've seen people can do.(just never in person) I had no idea how this was gonna turn out. But.....
It's looking killer!!! Honestly best looking smoke I've ever seen!(in person) And I cant wait to see if it can live up to its aromas and mouthwatering looks!
Ok so last week my canopy was beautiful all white hairs all fattening up... but as the week progressed I ran into each plant one by one becoming to heaven to support its arms. Causing me to highly regret not using the trellis. And they are tumbling over so much it probably required a double trellis. Not for training purposes, but for SUPPORT. as the arms started to tip all my pistols started maturing twice as quick which gave me a hermy scare. I've been tieing up arms to the ceiling and sliding a few sticks into the side of the pots to support as needed. Week 6 started last Wednesday, week 7 starts wednsday and it will be my last week of feed. I will be changing tiger bloom to flora bloom until 5 days before harvest to then do a complete sludge hammer flush and ro water
So one thing about this strain that was kind of a bummer was the smells were literally all over the place in a great way. Sour gummies worms from the keef, diesle/gas from the leaves, and lemon hard candy/carrots/dab carts from the buds but when smoked it, the floral taste was so rounded that the other smells never came thru except the purple one that had tight smaller buds, had a lemony taste still. (Remember had to cut early from braking).
On the other hand, the way this plant grew had me in a state of personal amazement. I was actully super excited telling my friends that it got TOO BIG for the branches. Buds stacked perfectly on every plant. The topping and recover time went smooth. She shaped nicely right before flower. And back to my negative statement that I had..... the smells were INCREDIBLE!!! I recommend it to everyone soly for the smells.
