One Plant developed a white line discoloration and i diagnosed it as a leaf miner which is a pest that is inside the leaf draining nutrients. I also discovered WPM(White powdery mildew) and What looked like tiny white bugs on the bottom a fan leaf on another plant in the grow room(so maybe spider mites?). I misted all plants and topsoil with neem oil which is an organic pestocide.
I braced the plants so the rootball wouldnt pop out during LST then tied all plants as horizontally as i could get them without blocking or hurting growth sites. Within 3 hours of that, i saw growth in those sites.
On day 23 i will do a half serving(1tsp/gal) of Grow big becuase i read that ocean forest soil starts to run out of nutes around week 3 or 4 so im doing a test run before i start giving normal amount at week 4 if these dont flower before then
Upgraded to a gixxer 1000 watt led from a kingLED600w
I added a new mars hydro ts1000
I added a Small air circulator
I added a Yeast,sugar, water mix in a jug to create cO2
Plants got lightburned at 17inc directly under mars hydro ts 1000. Thats why i raised it to 22inch.
They are drinking about 3 solo cups full of water with my mentioned nutes in it every 2-3 days.
Day 24 and im thinking i should have done a topsoil feed since the “ocean farm” soil starts to run out around week 3 or 4. With that being said, a leaf or two turned slightly yellow so i will be top dressing with veg stage dry amendments on day 28 to carry me through the next 3 weeks since I expect these autos to go into flower within the next 2 weeks.
Should i lollipop White Widow Autos?
I want my top colas to be large and i dont want to take the chance on my plants trying to expend energy on branches that wont produce good bud.
On the other hand, i dont want to stress the plants out to much by cutting the small branches off.
Go for it. Save a lot of trimming work. Larf buds are such a nuisance. Widow tends to have ball shape buds and the lower branches are like pin heads full of leaves.
I would plan to trim off half the amount on one day. And the other half in the next.
Checking trichomes for harvest:
I am noticing that Some of yhe plants have amber trichomes but i feel like my buds could still grow more than they have. Its also only week 7 of flower and this is not a fast flowering auto. Should i start flushing anyways?
Yeah @DoDrugs429 he's right. Still lots of time for her to developpe trichs and fatten up... Don't lok at sugarbleafs overall amberness, but ratther at the buds clear to milky/amber ration. There should be almost no clear trichs in the areas you looks. More arounds the predicted harvest time of your strain more or less. But the giving time is usually an indicator to start looking and prepare for harvest..
