Fed plants on Saturday 3/4 gallon each. I added 1tsp/ga of Bud Candy and 2.5tsp/ga of Tiger Bloom by Fox Farm. Water was @6.3 pH. I also fed Monday February 8 in the evening. Gave plants a compost tea made with 2 cups of Dr Earths flower bloom, 1 cup of powdered bone meal at a 4-12-0 ratio, and also added 2.5tbs of un-sulfured molasses to 2.5 ga of water @6.4pH. I let tea brew for 24hrs with an aquatic aerator. Bud sites appear to have white pistil hairs continuing to grow and multiply. Stalks look healthy and I’m glad to see the plants finally progress! Temps have been ranging b/w 76F-82F with RH b/w 43%-56%. Ive raised the light as tall as I possibly could to keep stalks from touching the light and causing some burning. Ive also added some bamboo stakes to help provide support to some sites that were touching the LED light, I've also changed to shorter, rubber block supports for the pots to sit on instead of the taller rolling holders to help lower the plants and allow for a little more growth. Excited to keep y'all posted and as always, stay safe and happy growing💚✌️🌱

I watered plants 1/2ga each @ 6.25pH with only CalMag and "Great White" Myco to promote healthy rhizosphere activity. I mixed 1.25tsp/ga of CalMag and 0.5tsp/ga of the "Great White". Plants are showing steady growth and the one on the far left seems to be ahead of the other two, makes sense seeing as it was in soil 10-13 days prior to the other two before the early growth medium issues. I can't believe its taken this long for these Autos to begin flowering but Im just glad that they appear to at least finish out now. This has been a great learning experience not only about gardening and this plant but also the opportunity to learn a good deal about myself as this has become a form of relaxation and reflection for me. Keep y'all posted, stay safe and happy growing💚✌️
hi again, have had experience with an Auto that took more than half a year to finish - I gave her small doses of Canna pk13/14 (flower booster) in her feed to nudge her a bit, it kinda worked too but 27 weeks in total ... fml .. put me off of them I only do fems now, feel like they offer much more control (and potency 😆)
white widow is worth the wait though, good luck to you rest of the way.
@APOLLO, hey again! I think I knocked their schedule off in the beginning with a poor choice in growth medium. One plant was in it a week longer and is the smallest of the 3(plant on far left in photos) I’m just glad they finally switched and are in the process of flowering. Now I’m fighting space constraints bc these grew big before beginning flower😂 still an enjoyable and definite learning experience. ✌️
@Smokwiri, thanks🙏 I’m getting pretty anxious to see if they’ll start flowering, I may have knocked the cycle off at the beginning of the grow. Have a good day!✌️
