Hellooooooo! I hope everybody is having a great day.
I started 9 seeds from bags… Do not know the strains. Of the 9 random bag seeds all were female. Of the 9, 3 if the last to pre-flower and the smallest seemed to be an autoflower varietal. I assume this, as all plants in one 4x4 tent were at 18/6 lights.
After getting suggestions from here, I had waited about 2 weeks at a certain date to do the flip to 12/12 so some plants could catch up to the rest to try to maintain an even canopy. However at a time before that suggestion the smallest 3 stragglers started to flower under 18/6 lights.
Now those three are in a separate tent and appear way ahead of the other 6 larger bushy plants.
After checking my calendar today, after participating in another thread with @Spiney_norman… I realized I flipped to 12/12 on 9/23/2020… So from that i have deduced that for those 6 in the original tent have possibly another month before harvest… Give or take.
That leaves the 3 assumed autos. I failed to write down on my trusty paper calendar the date these started to flower. I think it was 2 weeks before but I cohld be way off.
Some of the hairs have started reddening. Is there a way to tell how long these gals have before harvest so I can plan the last 2 weeks for flushing before the harvest?
Pics below are from today plus the last 2 pics are for reference of the 6 others:
Sorry about the purple photos… A spinal dislocation a couple years ago left me a bit sore today… … I could take better non purple pics in a bit if those three if necessary.
Still a way’s to go still alot of white pistils 4 to 6 weeks to go. From the looks in the last 2 pic’s you have a Calcium deficiency. Have you been giving them Cal-Mag?
Yes I am using cal-mag…I have another thread where @Covertgrower and a few others figured I had an excess of nitrogen that locked out calcium.
I am currently watering with straight distilled water to help them recover. In a week I will be then back on half dose of week 9 Fox farm soil schedule.
I don’t think nitrogen is antagonistic to calcium, according to mulders chart. I see nitrogen toxicity though, and I feel like i can see calcium deficiency too. Are you sure it isn’t just a ph issue?
unfortunately no…I do not get any run off. After overwatering in the beginning and having a really bad fungus gnat infestation, I have brought my watering down to 16 fluid ounces of water/nutes…nutes twice a week just distilled water every other watering. Even during the flush I used sledgehammer and watered double or 32 ounces and had very little runoff…like a teaspoon.
Your best bet would be to apply enough to get a good amount of runoff and test it. I have a feeling not feeding to runoff regularly you have a pretty substantial build up in your pots.
