Beginning of week..
I haven't even used up the bottle of nutes I mixed up last week. I read they can be good for 2 full weeks.. I guess I should put her in a bigger cup so I can use up more water/nutes quicker also.. She is still a little yellowish.. Side branches are beginning to sprout already.. Last WWA did that too.. Autoflowers are so cool... Lol.. She's doing good tho, runoff is coming out perfectly.. Coming out just as I goes in.. Been watering every other day.. Sometimes daily just to help get her some nutes.. Maybe she needs heavier feedings to get that yellowing under control. She had 0 nutes for week 1.. But usually that doesnt cause issues for me.. Maybe this time it did..
About mid week..
I want to top her.. But Im gonna wait to see how the branches form to see where I want to top and see how many branches I can even fit with a cup this size.. If I keep her in there.. Thinking of also putting her inside my suitcase grow box for now and getting 18/6 so she can grow a bit bigger and quicker before the topping and give her time to recover and explode before she stretches and flowers! She's a bad ass mutant lady! White Widow Autoflower isnt a huge yeilder or nothin.. But dried and cured right will come out pretty sticky and dank.. Idk why I havent tried any other ILGM photos or autos! I guess I need to soon!
Mid week..
Ok.. NOW I was FINALLY ready to mix the second batch of nutes for this girl.. From .5mL/L to 1mL/L (roughly) due to the yellowish coloring she has goin on.. Just looks deprived of nitrogen. She got a good dose of nutes today! Other than that.. she is happy!.. I'm happy!.. Lol.. Branches are beginning to sprout.. Will be transplanting into a bigger cup soon where she can spend the rest of her days. Ive got plenty.. Just need to figure out a good size for her... Hmmmm.. Proabably a nice and big one.. Like a 40oz.. If I have one.. If not the next size I have is a 32oz.. Or these little, black, plastic containers that they use in restaurants for food.. Just drill some drain holes and it would make a nice little grow pot lol hmmmmm....
Almost end of week...
She is growing nicely.. I am seeing caylxes already. Just 2 or 3, so far.. Still no pistils tho.. Should still have 1 - 2 weeks AT LEAST before she starts to stretch and flower.. I hope. She is a very resiliant little lady. She can take a beating and, still, she won't skip a beat!.. Pretty happy with how she is growing.. Even with a little yellowing, she is growing quickly.. Branching off fast asf.. Oh yeah, i removed the very bottom branches.. They just looked kinda sickly.. Not even half the size of the second node's branches.. So I chopped em.. I left the fan leaves for now.. Just cuz she is still pretty young and small.. Once she is bigger and removing a few sets of leaves won't hurt her, I will.. But now I'm kinda thinking I dont want to top her.. I should just let her do her thing.. Or Maybe just LST.. Or damn.. Maybe just topping.. Fuck! I'm so indecisive... Smh.. I'll get it figured out...
Aye, growmies... Got some springtails.. Medium is coco/perlite using General Hydroponics Flora Series including a couple supplements.. Has anyone else had to rid springtails? Using Dia××××××ous Earth or Neem Oil preferably? And how to use... Thanks growmies!
Try to clean if there is some colonies in the grow area, if they are in the soil u have to use some product like azadirachtin if u cant beat them with a dry/wet cycle to force them to exit and maybe go on some sticky trap over the soil.
@coyote2thick,
Its usually about another 2 weeks for me.. Then once the flowers are being more focused on, I cut out the grow all together.. In veg I dont use any bloom yet.. 100% gro.. Then, in transition phase, I use 50/50 with the grow and bloom.. Then after those 2 weeks, I just use 100% bloom.. The actual dose is different for each plant tho... But that's how I do the ratios for the weeks
@coyote2thick,
I usually give the gro even for transition phase.. While she's still stretching and making more leaves.. Once the buds are being more focused on, i cut out the grow completely and replace it with a bloom booster.. Thats just what works great for me so far
@ThatSweetSmoke,
Mine started showing pistils pretty early on like yours.. But I think it's still just preflower phase.. I think mine has still been vegging like normal.. But you should still be able to notice the flower stretch when it does start to flower.. That's what I have expericed with this, at least.
@Ferenc,
Thanks! They are nice and colorful.. But these damn foxtails.. They are annoying. Its hard to keep the temps below 85F right now.. Sometimes it reaches 90F-91F.. Once its colder outside I can usually keep it at 80F easily.. I can't wait till winter!
@Donjuanweedo,
I did poke holes in the red cup.. 3 on the outsides.. So it could even drain from the sides a bit.. And 1 in the very middle... The clear cup is meant to catch the runoff.. So the clear cup has no holes..
@Ferenc,
Thanks growmie! She is fun to work with.. Besides the yellowing (which I know is normal at the end of flower.. But Im usually able to avoid it till flushing) .. Other than that she is doing awesome! Oh.. And now some springtails.. Fuck..
@Hempy_the_kid,
Shit was trippin me out.. Guess Im not gonna be using my humidifier anymore.. Was growing for a year and a half without one with no issues.. Damn.. More wasted money.. Lol. Thanks for the input.. I was beginning to think baby powder was somehow being shot into the intake or something.. But glad to know this issue is just the humidifier. Thanks again growmie!
