Ah yes! Purpngold! Forgot to tag you! Thanks!! So should I skip cal mag today? I’m still using all 3 of the ff trio. Do I drop one of those to help with nitrogen? Or just use plain water today (obvi ph’d and stuff)
I’ll be training the others I grow. I tried to follow the pot for pot guideline as close as I could but she looked so hungry and stretching so bad… I had to add on. Couldn’t watch her suffer…
Yup she’s a photo. Flipping will speed up her maturity. But she’s still a baby, no preflower yet. No signs of sexuality. Gonna flip one of the clones to make sure she is female.
Ooooh so there is a point in which you can flip that you should wait for? I thought it was until you liked the size of the plant lol
Good to know! I guess you have to wait to see if she’s a she. Makes sense.
I’m screen shotting everything lol Ps and Ks got it!! Lol
Thanks!! At what point do I stop nutes? Cuz the bottle schedule says till week 12 of 2 outta the 3 bottles… but If SHES harvesting in 4 weeks and I’m basically at 8 now… I thought we needed a week or so to flush? Is that photo only? Lol I’ve read so many tips and tricks and hints and walkthroughs I can’t remember what’s for what anymore
I’ve flipped plants two weeks old. You can control when they flower. But if they mature on their own your transition time will be much shorter. Flushing at the end only makes the smoke smoother and promotes colors. It’s not necessary. And I said at least a month. I said that a month ago about this one and today I’m still thinking at least 3 weeks. Just doesn’t want to finish with it’s he-man looking self. Just keeps getting fatter. Was a failed super crop, had to cut away infection and smother the stem in honey. Guess it needed more recovery time.
Holy crap 2 weeks?!? Tiny plant?? I can’t imagine it’s yield is much… my plant barely had leaves at 2 weeks
Oh I didn’t expect it to be 1 month to the day: for sure I take everything with a grain of salt when it comes to plants. They have a mind of their own that’s for sure!
Super crop is the pinching and bending at the main stem right? And that got infected? Crazy! That’s why I’m scared to mess with it cuz I’ll make her sick!
Haha info overload! It happens. Think about weed this way….
When did you plant the seed? Germ date.
When did she start throwing pistils? Approx flower date.
Whenever those pistils first formed ‘crowns’, thats when I begin my flower schedule. Most advertised dates arent ‘from seed’ but more ‘from flower onset’. And even then its a very seed bank friendly estimate. U want to harvest by the readiness of the plant. Which usually adds up to around 8-10 weeks of pure flowering.
I cut my vegging nutes in half after week 3 of flower. And out all together around week 6. Then all nutes around week 9ish. And usually harvest around 10-11
I thought fabric pots were good for breathability and what not. That’s crazy that’s what 2 weeks looks like!
@PurpNGold74 Yea I just have to get a few more grows so I know the telltale signs and can guesstimate a legit harvest date. But even then who knows lol
Yea it was weird cuz honestly I recognized the picture and thought that’s who I had clicked on… darn phones! Who knows what buttons I actually hit lol my phone fixes it for me and I’m none the wiser scary
Two weeks old then flipped to 12/12 they are much older than two weeks in picture. Where flipped on… 4/15? I think. No. 3/15. Probably. I’ll check. If I didn’t behead the far left and far rights in the rear they’d probably be much more impressive. You can grow photos faster than autos with the right light. I was just trying to mitigate my stunted ones at first. Under watered and slammed with big light too fast. there’s people here who flip right after seedling stage and produce monsters in comparison to mine. But like I said, this is how I learned. That and the forum/grow guides/Dr Bugbee (YouTube). I have countless hours of research. Bugbee is always a good break from reading. Great college level hemp research.
Yup, flipped 3/15. Transition for one was fast fast. Already harvested. Rest took their time. Would say on 4/20 all where in flower.
That’s so interesting! So what are the benefits of flipping that soon? Quicker turn around? Bigger buds smaller plant? So much control over photos. I thought autos were going to be easier (I’m glad I don’t have photos cuz my tent is like a sieve) They just flower when they want and I dont have to think about it
Quicker to flower. One can clone a plant, flip the mama to flower while the clone roots. And have buds while u flower the clone and repeat the cloning process.
Some do the above to find which pheno is a “keeper” as in yield potency taste boxes checked. Toss the other clones and keep repeating.
Alot of people flip quick to sex plants then reveg to get em bigger.
There are many reasons. But those are the reasons id choose photoperiods over an auto. U have no of those options. Just plant seed. Nurture seed. Harvest buds.
Hey thanks for the tag @BigMommaC!
Not sure who you been talking to but they lie…!
But seriously I’ve only got a couple of grows under my belt, but I’m learning fast!
I think your ladies are looking fabulous! The guys here sound like they’ve got you covered on your questions.
Think imma sit back and enjoy the ride - I’m excited for this one!
Don’t even lie when I’m around. You have secured your avatar well on threads I’ve creeped on. You have kicked your way in with more than relevant information a few times. No one would be remised with your input. Hope to see you help as well here.
Also realize your qualification list is the same as mine. I just have confidence that my research is correct.
One thing I’ve noticed, just because people articulate the way I do… Doesn’t mean they have any level of intelligence. Ms Jane may not agree, but I feel she knows enough to help any newbie beyond what I can. She is a greater wealth of personal experience above me for sure.
