Grow QuestionsWhen to use wick system

When to use wick system

GeminiCQCstarted grow question 9 months ago

I was hoping to wait until the end of this week to use the self watering bases since the plant looks old enough, and I don't want to over do it. Should I set it up after I too dress with recharge again, or will beginning of week 5 work?

I feel you need to wait till the plant has explored all the medium before going to self watering. If the roots are not fully explored I feel wet spots will be an issue and areas of the pot will become rancid with no wet dry cycle. I have only done self watering outdoors and the pots went through a proper wet and dry cycle. if they stayed wet all the time they has issues. Good Luck!

Wicks are asking for a buildup in the substrate.. gonna need extra maintenance to maintain proper EC over time. plenty of people make them work, but requires extra work to mitigate the drawbacks.

Some guidance for ScrOG please @22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm) When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?

Trichomes mostly cloudy?How do the trichomes look to you? I have a hard time telling if they are mostly clear or cloudy. This plant has lost quite a bit of leaf material due to deficiencies in the last weeks, therefore I am not sure if I should harvest earlier instead of in 2 weeks.

When to harvest?Beginner question: Would you say this is ready to harvest soon or should I wait some more? Leaves turning autumn colors, 3/4 of pistils turned orange. Trichomes look rather clear, but some on the head bud are amber already. RQS says 8-9 weeks. Starting week 9 soon.

Genetics or budrot?Hi all, my Royal Jack Auto from RQS is in 7th to 8th week and on the tip of the main cola these red, brownish spots appeared. Humidity has been 50% yesterday and before 40-45%, plenty ventilation in the tent. Around 24 to 28 °C. Could this be the start of budrot or am I paranoid?

Auto(not)flowering One of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently. I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!
