Beginning of week..
Well.. Between nute burnt leaf tips at the top (minor) and the yellowing leaves toward the bottom (getting a little worse) I think I'm going to add in the bloom booster again.. Idk why I even thought it was a good idea to stop... The burnt tips are very minor.. But meh.. Live and learn! I just figured such a small plant would be fine with less nutes.. But she will be fine either way I'm sure.. Trichomes are lookin nice! Pistils are kinda turning.. A bit early and I think that may be a little from the heat and the lack of nutes.. Again, I could be wrong.. But I think she will make it!
Mid week..
Ok.. Well maybe I was wrong about "rootbound"... Well.. From what this plant has been doing.. The bottom leaves on one branch was pretty yellow this morning and I ended up removing them.. They pretty much fell off.. Other bottom leaves are sort of yellowing.. But Id rather leave them on there till they fall of on their own.. Mostly, because if there is a deficiency, I'd hope the plant will take what she needs from those leaves.. I've upped the nutes a bit this week.. And I am now already seeing nute burn spread a little bit more.. Not too bad.. But I'm starting to wonder if maybe the "rootbound myth" just takes a massive amount of roots and a minimal amount of space.. The leaves were a little droopy this AM too.. Medium was pretty dry.. But when I watered, they perked up pretty quick (about 2 hours).. Also seeing the pistils turn a bit.. (See mid week pics).. Also added a couple pics of the clone of this girl.. Lol.. Just to prove a point.. Growmie said you can clone autos.. Yeah you can physically do it.. But this is only gonna produce 1-2 grams.. It would be a great option to produce some feminized pollen.. I almost tried it actually.. But I didnt get around to start the process.. I've just been giving this clone watered down runoff from the mother girlie.. Seems ok I guess lol.. Other than all that.. Mama plant is happy (enough) as far as I can tell!..
End of week..
She's still doin her own thing.. I would transplant to a little bit of a bigger cup.. But then I'd have to change the title of this and I REAAAALLLY don't want to lol. I'm assuming its the rootball being choked a little.. Shes still alive and a bit happy.. But the yellowing is not making any sense to me.. Welp.. On to the next...
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!
