Newbie Questions: Cola? Pistils? Tea?
eurorackstarted grow question 2 years ago
Newbie questions: why is a Cola called a Cola? And is flowering seen as started as soon as the little Pistils are seen or sometime later?
Anyone got a simple mix for making Chicken Pellet poo tea? Everything I find on YT seems to be making a vast amount of raw 5h!t water.

A cola, also called a “bud site,” refers to a cluster of buds that grow tightly together. While smaller colas occur along the budding sites of lower branches, the main cola—sometimes called the apical bud—forms at the top of the plant. Pre-flower is when the pistils first show up. They will grow into budlets in about 1-2 weeks. Plenty of recipes to use chicken manure. Just make sure it's not fresh manure. It needs to be composted or aged properly to remove salmonella and other pathogens.

Good answers below regarding why is a cola a cola.
Flowering starts when you switch the plant to 12/12 and or see pistils fomring for me. photos vs autos mildly different what triggers flowering but all the same otherwise.
I'd mix in the chicken shit into the medium vs making a tea. Seems more a mess to clean up.
Good Luck!

A cola is just the term for female flowering parts, with weed it tends to refer to the tops of the plant forming clusters of buds.
When the pistils appear that's the first proper sign of flowering.
Try scaling the recipe down to how much you want, if its for 100L and you want 10L use 10x less ingredients, it'll be the same end product more or less.

What's going on with these Red/Purple Pistils?Out of 6 female plants that I have personally seen develop, this is the only one with Red/Purple pistils. To be clear, the first visible pistils were this colour, they didn't emerge white and then change. All the bud sites on this plant display the same colour. Genetics unknown.

New Trichome Pictures of Calyx and Pistils.Okay, so my apologies for the pictures of sugar leaves. Here is a new set of pictures from today, June 10, 2022. I only used two colas, and only recorded the calyx and some pistils. I think she needs a little longer??? Thank you for your opinion.

Nutrients differences on taste, aroma and smellHi there, since my first grow I did not use any synthetic nutrients for better taste and smell. This is the first time that Im using Advanced Nutrients Connesiour. Until now, my daughters just took organic Nutrients (worm,bat,chicken,sheep) what is your idea about s. Nutrients?

Excess leaf growthIs this excess leaf growth around bud sights normal for particular strains? I'm thinking it could be too much Nitrogen during flower but I'm not sure. Would appreciate any tips on getting the plant to focus its energy on buds rather than leaf growth. (Fyi, it is a sativa)

Herming! To chop or wait another 6 daysI found a banana. I plucked it but there are probably more of them that I can't reach/see. Should I chop immediately or can I give her another 6 days? Don't know if the quality will suffer by possibly herming for 6 days.Week 16

If you look at picture 3 of 11 of my latest update, you'll see one bud, nearly dead-center. And you can see the white hairs are browning, but they're browning from the tips. Is that natural? Maybe normal for some strains? Or is it a sign of something else?Week 7
