Looks like a full house!
I was bored
I just started using it on my last grow , i think itâs great. No ph ing needed. And itâs very easy to use. I love it. Was using ff nutes, but i didnât like all the salt build up and harshness in my flower. It could have been my process, which it mostly was lol and weird soil i was using, but after working with @Lostgirl , she put me on to it and i been loving it. Already got me a stock of it for my next 3 grows. Lol
These are maui wowie and whtie truffles x ice cream, using advanced nutrients.
Holly super cola Lostgirl. Thats amazing
Yet another happy @Lostgirl student. Iâm glad everything is working out for you. I agree Advanced Nutrients is an effortless product and I believe anyone in this hobby should try it once.
Your plants look well. You got some dead stuff at the bottom. I always cut those leaves off. Sometimes the plant will spend energy trying to replenish those dying dead leaves taking away useless energy that could be directed elsewhere. (Just a recommendation)
Keep up the good work @Bluedream1 and thanks for stopping by with the kind words
@Bluedream1
Is this the Maui wowie?
Yes, it is the one on top . And Iâll start to take dead stuff off at the bottom. Thanks for all your help . Youâre an awesome teacher.
Itâs Friday yâall. The Show is winding down week 8 of flower some chilli nights has allowed me to give the girls an extra day of drying time. This means I had to get up extra early to begin their feed preparations.
The dankness is getting serious and the ripening is slow. Itâs been my experience that an auto flower any more than 2 ft tall isnât going to finish until at least week 10 of flower I donât even start to check the trichomes until the end of week 10 itâs kind of pointless.
Itâs time to mix there breakfast
I just wanted to point something out. As you can see from the image below tying off the main cola allows you to lower your light to expose more of your lower portions of your plant to the beneficial lighting that it needs.
This comes with serious caution. Once youâve had your colas tied off for about 2 days that main cola will keep that bent form and it becomes itâs natural shape.
I have to remove every plant from the tent to feed. The way that the main cola is bent and the weight of it creates a very high risk if not careful of clearly snapping it in half when moving.
This is an excellent technique but proceed with caution
Once they get into flowering, my plants donât move anymore. Like yours they become heavily laden, and as you stated risk snapping.
When they become this heavy, I use a tank sprayer for watering to reach in the back. Some members have upgraded to the ones with a pump, but highly recommended to water and feed this way, so nothing gets snapped. Less risk.
Only reason I pull a flowering plant out after a certain point is if I need to spray every side and back for pests.
Iâve actually considered developing a system in the tent where I donât have to move the plant as you say when it gets this heavy.
People donât realize just how heavy these coals are. Look at the top of the trees just before a storm. Thatâs what happens when you move your plant.
As a precautionary measure when moving the first thing I do is tie her off to the pole before feeding
All right⊠so I got the tent divided up by readiness. Three of the plants are eating at 150 ppms and 4 of the plants are at 350 ppm
Today is the last supper for three of the girls. As next week theyâre H2O only.
Spending all that time and money on keeping the perfect microbial life in the soil seems a waste to flush so I simply eliminate the nutrients slowly down to water only rather than flushing.
Iâve never had an issue with harshness, weird smoke, or funky taste in doing it this way. A/N is a pretty lite nutrient on the salt anyway.
Looks like the bud fairies brought the Hawaiian Gold X Kush Breath a coating of frosted sugar last night.
Do-si-dos if you recall had a foxtail issue beginning approximately 2 weeks ago. The light adjustment and tying the cola off has pretty much ceased the issue for now. Letâs hope it doesnât come back
At this point in the game I normally stop documenting runoff numbers as they really do nothing but decrease as you take the nutrients away. One less process is one less process
That concludes The show for today boys and girls. Happy weekend!
@Lostgirl fun to watch. Those mature buds are frosty! Great results.
Thank you, itâs fun to grow. I just wished these girls were slightly smaller so they could get opened up a little bit more. Seven pieces in a 4x4 isnât truly enough real estate. Hopefully I can get these a medium size ones out of there in 2 weeks so I can open up these big girls
