Took a small bud, it was good!
I took your advice on waiting and the pistols are turning inward. One issue (I take a pic later) the sugar leaves are pretty much dying within the colas. They are pretty much at the end of their lifecycle. Should they be harvested if those leaves are dying?
Iāll take a look at pic when you put up. If you have multiple pictures load them 1 pic per post, I can zoom better that way.
Sounds good! Thanks!
Hmm. How well have you been keeping track of ph and ppm?
All the way, I make sure PH is between 6 and 6.5 all feedings. I use Foxfarm (trio). I donāt pay too much attention to ppm.
I also flush every once in a while. Cal-Mag on occasion.
They look more like they havenāt been fed enough or uptake issue than ready for harvest.
Possibly, I donāt try to over feed. The plants are in 5 gallon pails and I give 1/2 gallon to one gallon every three days. Not enough you think?
I think a gallon every few days is common for flowering plants, but a lot of variables in that too. Pretty much water to a little runoff when theyāre dry and then wait for them to dry out. But your solution strength is more what I was talking about.
Oh, I get ya! Like I said Fox Farm Grow Big, Big Bud, and Tiger Bloom. Using their feed schedule. This grow is almost done but I have two others that are Sour Diesel females in veg and doing well. I will be putting them in the tent to flower when I harvest these two.
What are your thoughts on nutes? Iām using coco.
If you are using coco your ph was probably a little high, and that would explain perfectly. On the nutes, if youāre going synthetic they all use the same handful of components to make the bottles. So youāre basically playing with different concentrations and ratios.
Good to know about the coco. They were fine during veg but slowly are having problems. Only a week or so before harvest but Iāll get the ph down for the SDs (sour diesel). Thanks for the help!
Thereās basically ranges where each element is more available to the plant. And then the plants will look for different nutrients at different stages of the grow. @Budbrother has a chart that shows this, perhaps he will share.
But plenty reasonable to expect a plant to be good at one ph during veg and then not at same ph during flower. For coco, Iām pretty sure between 5.8 and 6.0 is pretty solid.
Iāll try to get the chart, I never thought about changing PH with veg/flower. The plants donāt change rapidly so by the time I found out it was too late. Lessons learned!
