Hi 420 Family.
The past 6 weeks have been up and down a bit here and there, some noob mistakes made also.... But nevertheless, things are starting to look great. All of these plants are showing quite hairy bud sites and the pistils are mostly milky. WW's are ahead by about a week or two from what I have heard from other friends and growers but we will see. I have upped the nutes a little bit this week, and also added a small about of BioBizz Bio-Bloom. Let's see how it goes!
D47 - 22 Aug - So far so good. Buds are swelling up nicely and they are starting to stink (the good kind). White Widow has quite a spicy, potent smell. Purple Lemonades smell sweet and fresh (some purple in the stems and the stems of certain leaves but no purple flower yet; I do hope I get at least SOME purple flowers!). Otherwise, they seem to respond well to the nutrients I have been feeding the past 2 runs. I think for the next feeding I will add some more grow tho, the PL's seem to have a slightly larger appetite for Magnesium/Nitrogen perhaps. After that, proper flush and then some worm tea that I will brew from my leftover worm castings and the normal flowering schedule to follow. I am happy thus far and I really am enjoying this so damn much, I think I've already won this round. :)
D50 - 25 Aug - Ladies are responding well to the extra nutrients, and the smells are just next level... The WW's are much more dense and are fattening up nicely. PL still a little behind I rate, pistils are mostly still straight and not as milky. Otherwise, all systems are good and happy to start week 8 tomorrow! :D I have added a heaped cup of worm castings to the top of the soil, let's hope for a great flavor and even more intense smells over the next 2 weeks!
Happy growing.
Hi 420 Family. Quick question: Would it be too early to give them quarter/third strength nutes at this stage? About 2.5 weeks old (since they broke soil).
Your diary says your soil mfg says 3-4 weeks before needing additional feeding.
Please adhere to that. If you start feeding your seedlings, you may overfeed, even at 25-30%
For example, I use FoxFarm Ocean Forrest, and I normally don't feed for 30-45 days.
If your plants are looking good, don't force feed, "just because".
If the breeder says, the strain likes nutes or not, will determine whether you start at 50%, or something less, after the 30-45 day period.
If you get nute burn or lockout in veg, you can most likely grow out of it, but if you do this in flower, you will have to live with knarly looking leaves until harvest.
Good luck, and good common sense down the road.👍
Hi GD peeps. How much should I be watering these 10L fabric pots? So far I have bsen doing 500ml with no run-off, and just did 1.5L with little bit of runoff. Should I soak the pot on every feed with about 1.8 to 2L, and leave until moist-dry before next feed?
Привет, друг! 👋😇
Для такого молодого возраста им хватит по 250-500ml полива ежедневно по кругу от растения! Чем старше будет растение, тем больше давай полив! Существует правило, что взрослое растение на вегетации и дальше - на цветении, будет нуждаться в 10% жидкости от объёма субстрата! Если у тебя горшки заполнены на 10L, то взрослый полив будет по 1L (10%). Может чуть больше в конце цветения, но точно не больше 1,2L 😇👌
Удачи, бро! ✊😇
Hi GD peeps! The ladies are doing well so far, but my one Purple Lemonade has been dodgy since day 1. The leaves started out oddly shaped and sort of twisted; now they are even more so and have a strange lime green color. Same everything as the rest in the tent. Any ideas...?
Hi GD peeps! Thank you so much for all the help and answers so far. You are all amazing <3 So I have a question regarding the bottom single leaves (the very first ones) should I be taking them off or trimming them? They don't get much light anymore due to the larger leaves.
Hi all. So I have 6 plants with a 400w HID. 3 of them are about 10-15CM taller than the others. My light is currently about 45CM from the top of the tallest one. Would this affect the shorter plants negatively? Should I raise them to the same level and up the light to 60CM rather
Hi 420 Family. So I am very concerned about the one WW.. It looks like testes haha. Is this normal? Only the one has them, and there are a couple of them on the older branches - usually two at a time and a branch node. There is one with two pistils coming out of it, the rest not.
those do look like sacs, perhaps your plant is a hermie.
i have heard people picking those off and still get a good harvest, or you could cut your losses and chop her. if they are sacs they will pollenate your other plants and could ruin most of your hard work. when the plants get seeded up there is little to no smokable bud, when the plants do not get seeded they give us what we want, female buds that are dense, tasty and sticky. while the seeded up ones lose that as they focus more on making that seed. the thing about hermie plants is you can not even use the seed as the offspring will all be hermies.
so you can take some time and pick them off with tweezers or chop her, or take your chances to see what happens
Hi 420 Fam. So I would just like to get your opinion on my 3 White Widows. Only SOME brown/slight yellow orange pistils here and there. Tomorrow (26Aug) is start of week 8. Should I start flushing tomorrow to have full 2 weeks, or do these look like I can start flush from week 9?
Stop! Don't flush. You still have 5 weeks or more left in flower. I'm assuming in the other answers, they thought you meant week 8 of flower. You still have lots of time left. Wait until at least 60% of your hairs have turned red AND curled back into the flower.
Just a sidenote: flushing is altogether pointless and harmful. The science is not on the side of flushing, but if you must flush, wait at least 3-4 more weeks.
Cheers!
Hey GD peeps, it's me again. :) Looking for some advice on this little lady for her harvest - 10 days of flushing so far. 1) Should I trim all fan leaves and leave her for 3 more days, 2) 2 days of darkness after the last three days of flushing? Any advice here would help! TY! <3
i would give her another week of flush, after that you can chop, r put in to darkness, if you can check your trichomes as that is the best way to see if the plant should be harvested, i looked at the fast buds, for that strain and they suggest a flower time of 30-35 days, most strains flower for 7-8 weeks, so if you let it go another week, you should have a better yield as well as a stronger smoke, either way with all the flushing you have done she will be ready when you are, as far as doing the dark it does not really do much except the darkness helps ripen the buds faster, so to make it easy, chop and hang when you are ready, good job on the grow
@@Athos, I have taken your advice and done some LST on side branches and the one main stem. The others stems are too thick haha. So far so good and they have much more light coming in now. Thanks for the help.
@@Athos, Thank you for your input! Aren't they too old for that at this stage, they are 5 weeks and Auto's... Everywhere I read they warn against this after week 3/4.
@Ferenc, Thank you very much! This site and all these wonderful people saved my ass a couple of times haha. All worked out pretty well! 😊 Super excited to smoke them, super sad that they have to be chopped...
