Noticed my first signs of pre-flowers at the beginning of this week. Shifted the LED light output, was at full blue, now turned on the reds at 40% strength. Time for a watering. I picked up some Cannazym and Canna Boost to try and maximize what I will get out of these babies since I screwed up week 2 and basically lost it from a growth perspective. I will have to water again toward the end of the week, will wait and see how they take this feeding to decide if they get food in the next watering.
Getting to the end of week 5. So far I only see flowers developing on two of the four plant. Given that these are autos, I am going to move forward and continue with the light on full power, red, blue and full spectrum. I have been feeding at this rate twice at week now. Three of the plants seem to be happy with it, however my dwarf showed signs of nutrient burn so I had to flush it mid week. The dwarf will only get PH water from now on as needed to I see some good recovery than maybe some food at half the rate of the others. The tent is starting to get a slight smell when first opened 😁.
Pictures for this week are beginning and end of week (I rotated the pot clockwise one spot so I can keep a close eye on my best two.)
When limiting my primary nutrients, (Canna Terra Flora) to prevent overfeeding, should I also limit the secondary nutrients (Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Boost) or feed those per the Canna schedule each time I water? I currently only use them when I feed on every 2nd or 3rd water
I think its safe to remove the rhizo. Definitwlt continue the Flores because it also contained the trace elements needed. Keep the zyme and boost are entirely up to you, perhaps only using them once per weeks would be good. But I think it'll be alright to remove them soon, unless you choose otherwise. Did I see a small amount of yellowed leaves on the back left plant on the very bottom? If so you may want some cal mag in there or it may be that one received a slightly higher dose than the others did, or needs a good flush.
Best of luck the plants look pretty dang good thus far. Congrats on making it into flowering.
This one was a bit rough. I thought the purpling was a bad thing, a symptom of phosphorous deficiency. I count this as a success, I got a big enough yield to make through the next grow. :)
Thanks for the info, I knew about the trichomes but I had no idea the buds fatten up that much at the end. I harvested when they are about 80% cloudy, I wanted the strains to lean a bit to heady side. Maybe another week would have given me more yield with no major change in the trics.
Thanks for the advice, I am battling the rise in temps during the day now that summer is coming. I have been dreading putting an AC in that room, but I might have to.
next time flower at least 9 weeks for most strains, theres a handfull that are 60 days which is still 8 and a half weeks, buds fill out the most the last 2 weeks, up to 33%, and I veg for 5 weeks, but thats up to the grower, just make sure you flower as long as the strain says and.. youll get the full buds remember AMBER trichomes for stones cloudy trichomes for psychedelic.. but at least let them get cloudy.. but a good general rule is go the flowering time the seed bank suggests.. if you dont know the seed bank, do research on the strain and use the average flowering time.. hope you get some Chronic next time,, good luck
Looking good! They'd probably appreciate a few C drop in peak temperatures, especially as the grow goes on. They get all sensitive.
They're really healthy and I think you're going to be quite happy =)
