Thank you for your time and support!
Needless to say I trimmed the plant’s up, I was trying to be very careful around the new white hairs not to disturb them. I did a little more LST adjustments took some that was not needed for now away. I was surprised that the young growth had that old favorite smell, to bad it is compost. I them gave them a drink of rain water, they really like the rain water.
I was wondering if they look better to you for now? I have been getting some new info from you, and I am grateful for your shared information and time.
Thanks

Thank you for your time and support!
I was quite surprised how the Worley cleaned up, however it may produce a little bit, I will just give it a chance and learn and see. I expect very stunted growth
Thank you again.

Yeah they look nicely cleaned up.
@Hellraiser
Thank you. What happens next with the white hairs do the start to form a flower from them? Sorry I am new and thank you for your help and support.
Thanks
As flowering progresses, the plant will stop growing new leaves and the white hairs will keep coming in more and more and forming into groups of white hairs that will be your buds.
At 3 weeks into flowering, they’ll start looking like this
Then a couple weeks later
A few more weeks later, almost harvest time
Then right before the chop

Looks good you won’t be able to tell in a week or 2
Thank you so much for taking all of that time! I just was amazed by the pics you sent. I just was not sure how the bud formed, you cleared it up for me thanks very clear now.
I am going to watch very carefully for any depleted nutrients, I layered my soils so I was going to see if any nutrients is needed. Since auto’s grow quickly and using the 7 gallon pot, and watering the outer edges, the soil may hold? I have strawberry fields on the bottom, thinking It may help with the magnesium. Alot to watch for.
Thank you!

Those soils seem to always run out of nutes around mid-flowering (4-5 weeks after flowering starts), should have a complete bloom fertilizer on hand for when that happens.

Thank you for your time! I greatly appreciate all help. I was wanting to try a outdoor grow but I have no place for one.
Alot of learning.
Thank you again

I have the three need from Fox farm ready to go. This has been 24 days, when do you think a TDS reading is not going to give me a wildly high read?
Thanks you
That will work.
Probably another 3 weeks or so when the nutes in the soil get a bit depleted.
Thank you. Yes I was trying to learn about my TDS tester before and was getting nothing under 4 digits, after chasing a goast, I learned that is all I was doing with fresh amended soils. So I have to watch, do you think I will need Cal/Mag since I have the strawberry fields for it to use? If so I need to get some. What do you think about molasses un sulfur kind?
Should have some on hand in case you need it. If using purified water (distilled, RO, etc…) most definitely will need it, may not need if using tap water with a high TDS (like over 100ppm) as that would likely have sufficient amounts of calcium and magnesium but not always. Watch for brown dots on lower leaves (calcium deficiency) or a general paleness to the plant overall (magnesium deficiency) and that will be the sign that your plants need CalMag.
Thank you for your reply. I will get some on order. So I will get run off readings in about 2 weeks, do you have any preference for ppm,EC, readings for your autos? When do you ad your cal/mag when you add your your bloom nutrients?
Thank you
I’ve never grown an auto, I like “regular” photo plants. I prefer EC meters these days because I do a lot of international support and EC is the same everywhere but doesn’t really matter for personal use, TDS/ppm meters work fine as well.
When I used CalMag I usually started pretty early as I use RO water so I gave my plants CalMag from the beginning at 3ml/gal. I no longer use CalMag as the nutes I use now (Jacks 321) has plenty of calcium and magnesium so no need.

Greetings all, and thank you for your time and support! This morning I watered and trimmed all up and gave them a drink with some Cal/Mag, ( thank you Hellraiser for your previous suggestions) since I am using rain water or distilled water. These are Granddaddy purple autos going on 5 weeks since popping. I did a run off to see how the nutrients were holding out, needless to say that so far my seven gallon pots seem to be doing quite well, run off was still spiking the EC off of the scale - - - - and the ppm did report in at 5738 when I saw the run off color I could tell they are not ready yet. The one single pick was the worley that I was going to toss, with a little love by trimming and LST she has come around. They are showing the little white hairs on all of them. Smelling pretty as well.
Thanks to all

This was the worley when she first got a few leaves. Letting her grow seems so far a good choice, we shall see.
Thanks again for your time.

Thank you for your time.
If you have a chance to look at my post and pics after checking run off. Thanks again!
That is a crazy high runoff but plants are looking good so wouldn’t worry much about it. I don’t chase numbers (or let them panic me) if plants are looking OK.
Thank you for your time and congratulations, we the people learn from you and others you do work hard at helping! Thank you.
Yes I ran 1/2 gallon thru the biggest plant tried to stay on the outer edges because they were getting a little lite, so I did not want to flood them since I gave them some cal/ mag on Monday with a light watering of rain water. No wonder that you put seedling into FFOF they get a little burned! I am going to do another check next week this time and stay on top of things. Once again thank you very much for all you do!
