Beginning of week..
No more Floralicious Plus.. It just makes the water very nasty. She is drinking like fucking crazy. She keeps drying out pretty quickly so I've been leaving some water in the runoff cup for her to have some extra on days Im not gonna be aroun till lights out.. We will see how that goes.. The leaves are still slowly yellowing.. I guess rOoTbOuNd is the issue?? Maybe?.. for once lol.. I understand tho cuz it is just a 9oz cup.. But she will make it! Got some slight red colors coming through on the tips of some top leaves (see last pic in Beginning of week) and the tips of a very few top calyxes.. Last time this plant was pretty colorful.. Hoping to get even more out of her this time around.. So I'm chilling the water.. Not just in the PM but every watering will be chilled. AM and PM.. About 35°F, I believe.. My PPM/EC/Temp meter doesnt show the correct temp.. Everything reads 50°F.. But it does great reading the TDS.. So it's still a keeper in my eyes lol.
Mid week..
The bottom set were pretty yellow and were easy to just tug off.. So I did.. Colas are starting to swell.. Under my 60x loupe, it seems like damnnear all the trichomes are cloudy.. Not many amber just yet.. And I'm not checking the leaves.. I'm checking trichomes on the calyxes.. Like you're supposed to lol.. Alot of people dont seem to realize that.. They see some amber trichomes on a leaf and think its time to harvest when you still got 2, 3.. Maybe even 4 more weeks to go lol.. Just what I've seen alot of.. But I know I'm on the right track.. She is pretty healthy for the most part.. Her clone is getting thick asf too! Lol.. Just 3 little nugs hahah.. I only water/feed it with runoff from her morher that has been a little watered down.. So far shes happy and loving life as well.. Not a bad strain for buy 10 get 10 free.. I wanna see how the White Widow Photoperiod turns out.. May throw one in under the 320H when I get all that set up.. Just waiting for this girl to finish for the most part.. Then I can get started on that.
End of week..
Lookin gorgeous asf! Calyxes are turning a little red toward the very tops of the colas.. Leaves are slightly doing the same.. Still some slow yellowing.. But the buds are super happy and healthy.. Still waiting of more pistils to turn.. But she is starting to swell nicely.. I love these girls... Lol.. 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!
