Beginning of week..
So I tasted some of the bud that I did not flush.. It tastes like fucking chemicals.. All these people say that the read that somebody did a blind taste test.. Smh.. SHEEP!!! I will always flush my buds prior to harvesting.. People believe anything they read.. I understand tho.. Cuz thats how most growers learned.. By reading.. But they read some article that states flushing is not needed.. Haha! And it was written by a nutrient company!!! Makes perfect sense to have the customers use nutrients for an extra 2+ weeks!! That means more sales for them!!! People will need to reup on nutes sooner than if they did not flush.. I'm going to stick what works best for me, my throat and lungs and my girls.. Maybe not try to 0 out the runoff PPMs for a whole 2 weeks.. Or maybe just use sweetner for the 2 weeks.. Idk but I got another week to figure it out before the flushing begins!!!
Mid week..
She is still goin strong! The colors on the calyxes and some leaves are coming out slowly.. But very dark.. Like a really dark red (see mid week pics).. She has been drinking like fucking crazy which is perfectly understandable lol.. But I should really attempt to start watering 3 times daily, I suppose.. It all about ripening at this point on now! Such a gorgeous plant.. She is coming out EXACTLY like my first White Widow autoflower from ILGM.. I guess that means the genes are pretty stable?.. Idk.. Still learning about breeding.. Very interesting topic for sure!!!
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!
