Bigger buds?

CANDYFLIPPING7started grow question a year ago

Looking for feeding advice for my 2 autos. Trying to increase terps and bud growth without burning my roots from nutes, and not burning my leaves from too much light. Heading into week ten.

Week 9

Buds. Not fattening

Too late to do anything much now, but next time, grow at 18/6, don't defoliate and give humic acid, fulvic acid and amino acids from about 6 weeks of age. Adding mycorrhizae to the substrate at planting time will also boost growth noticably. Never grow at 24/0, all plants NEED a dark period every 24 hour period to finish their photosynthesis cycle and have a properly functioning metabolism. A plant with an incorrectly functioning metabolism will never grow to its fullest potential. The MYTH that it is ok to grow cannabis for weeks/months without sleep needs to be removed from history asap! Just remember too......... Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth. Or to put it another way....... less leaves = less energy = less growth. The three acids I recommended are not fertilizers, but natural plant stimulants that boost size and health of leaves and fruits/flowers. Mycorrhizae are the wonder ingredient that enables plants to access nutrients much more effectively and really help with plant vigor.

Nice low humidity will promote trichome (35-45) production which will in term increase Terp profile. You also need to keep in mind some phenos have a diff/weeker smell then another I just experienced this myself on my GG auto run one was very sweet and loud and the other were gassy and subtle all from the same beans.

Drop the humidity in your tent. Cannabis plants make trichomes as a defense mechanism against pests, but they also create trichomes to clog pores and retain moisture. Other than that, there isn't really anything you can do at this stage. Some people say to leave the plant in 48 hours of darkness, but i'm skeptical about that making more terpenes. It doesn't make sense to me and i'm starting to chalk it up as bro-science. I'm pretty sure a trichome takes longer than 48 hours to form, so claiming that a period of darkness will increase trichomes is suspect. But, I've never tried it, so i could be wrong.

Since you're heading into week 10, there's not much time to do anything for them at this point since you're nearing the end of a normal autoflower's life span... Next grow, consider adding a PK booster beginning about week 3 of flower which will help the buds grow bigger and denser... and DEFINITELY look into Terpinator which you would start slowly when you first introduce nutes and continue in increasing amounts during the whole grow... The only thing I could suggest at THIS point in your grow is to add some GH KoolBloom dry (it's used only in the last 2 weeks before harvest - their liquid formulation of this is used from week 3 until 2 weeks before harvest)... Good luck!
