01/09/2020 - Switch the timers last night, first day of flower, planning on going 8-10 weeks flower, I'll be using Bloom microbes by NPK and top dressing with bat guano, (and probably some more worm casting part way through) and hopefully will be able to just get by with my Marphyl for my micro nutrients.
Dropped to 14 hrs light by the end of last week and starting to see the little hairs, very excited for flowering to start.
Defoliated just before bedtime.
02/09/20 - Top dressed plants with 1 tsp bat guano each, and gave 400 ml water. No big changes yet.
03/09/20 - 100 ml at 8 am when lights came on, another 250 ml later in the day. A few branches have stretched up to the scrog.
04/09/20 - 250 ml to two smaller plants in am , about 400 to largest, microbes cam in the mail today so tomorrow i think i will topdress them, add couple cups of fresh soil over top and water in.
05/09/20 - Added 1/2 Tsp of NPK Bloom microbes and watered in with about 500 ml, then added a solo cup of soil on top.I was planning on adding some soil anyway had a bit of root showing, and figured it would be better to water them in first then add the new soil rather then try and water through it or add them on top of it.
06/09/20 - Soil still moist and noticed some little flys (Fungus gnats?) around the new soil I added yesterday. Since they had heavier water yesterday anyway Im going to leave them to dry out a bit more till tomorrow.
07/09/20 - Watered this morning, gave a solo cup and a bit of water each before i realized a solo cup is more than 500 mL. But upon checking tonight they seem to have liked it i may start doing a larger amount of water every two days instead of water every day. Im am hoping this may also help keep the fungus gnats away with dryer topsoil. Overall though at the end of my first week of flower things seem to be going well ! Branches are thickening up, the plant that had bonemeal in the amended soil is really starting to jump ahead of the other two and the non soaked seed is putting along the slowest but with very much the most even canopy.
When running into issues with yellowing and necrosis, is it better to leave the affected fan leaves of to take them off? Worried removing so many might have hurt me more than leaving them and trying to just fix the issue.
I think youre fine by removing the yellow leaves as they will have nothing to offer the plant going forward. I had a bad cal mag problem on one of my grows and i removed the dying leaves as the provided nothing in terms of energy for my plant and i still had a great yield.
Hope that helps.
@BunkNugs, Two didn't end up so pretty and taste like pine instead of fruit. But i've heard nothing but good from my friends about both nugs and the healthy ones have a great fruit smell. I'll definitely be popping one in my next run.
Hey man i have an oregon peach flowering right now and the leaves have curled slightly since the start almost... must be the strain cause the plant is healthy as ever and budding nicely ... i do find all of the leaf stems and alot of secondary branches are pretty thin but she seems happy about it
@BunkNugs, I havent found much in the way of information on the strain and first grow as well, so going in pretty blind haha. The newer growth has less curl so resuming regular watering. Nice to know it may just be the way she be! Its hard not to stress ! haha
@Canna96, Thanks man! First time having fun with it, interested to see the difference between the soils, the one in pro-mix's premium potting mix is looking much greener than the others already, fingers crossed its not too much!
