Now that you are in flower its best to have the humidity under 50%. The more humidity the better the chances of things like mold to pop up. Same with the drying and curing process. Good air circulation and low humidity levels will help you out alot in that area. Ive seen people try and add extra nutes towards the end hoping they will bulk their buds up and instead burn the plants up. Out of everything i fear mold the worse. I only had it one time on my first outdoor grow but it haunts me all the time haha. Im overly cautious these days. Mold, budrot, pests, hermies, etc.

Many thanks

Bud formation looks good, trichs startin to show up nicely, leaves still a dark green.. You're on your way man!

-Pushit nailed it all. More nutes wont equal more bud.

Yup:

Just been reading up on this EXACT Scenario where growers opt to increase nutes in trying to increase bud formation & wind up burning the crop. As much as I want to feed'm the answer is NOT! Will stay the course & give aqua x 2 as you stated in a recent post. Learning that A Ton of Patience is most definitely needed in a grow. Just kick'n back & learning a bunch from the posts.:abduct: Thanx Smoke !!

Big PROPS to Pushit as well! Awesome Teaching. Wish I had you guys when I attended university. Would have taken a Weed Farming 101 course. :abduct: "Beam me up Scotty"

Hypothetically speaking, what type of yield may I expect if all turns out well?

Going into week 4 tomorrow. Think that I'm noticing the legendary "tri chromes". [attachment=o278898][attachment=o278899][attachment=o278900][attachment=o278901][attachment=o278902]:S1:

Apologies for some of my recent posts as they are written in the moment of elation or despair so now that you can see how I'm wired, well.... yea, it's kinda like a wind up toy. I am all over the place. With that out of the way, the grow appears well with some of the leaves becoming a lighter shade of green & I do remember smoke mentioning hit'em with the FF flower nute duo & I did just that. & Yup..... I waited close to 3 days w/o agua. The soil was fairly dry. As for their growth. Noticeable expanded bud formation on 1 of the bigger plants. When I say big I mean the tallest is approx. 1.5Ft/48cm & the shortest only approx. 1ft/30.5cm & the 2 in between'ers. Temp. is between 74 & 82f. Ph is approx. 6.0 & rh 40%. Challenging when I adjust the lights so really see where that canopy needs to be somewhat even & will be accomplished the next time. Width is another story altogether. I can only describe this as taking up the entire closet. So now I have 2 that are looking very fat. The remaining 2 are flowering just ok & this is where 1 of the challenges lie. Hanging some lights IN the canopy allowing some of the smaller kolas some much needed light. Will float some more shots in a few days. This is now the beginning of week 4. Really need to reconsider & adjust this closet space for the next grow. With everything said, liftoff is still 4 weeks away & I know this cannot go w/o hitch!!


:abduct:

Good to hear :thumbsup:
Keep the blinders on and stick with your feed sched, and you'll be golden!

try to get that ph up to 6.5-6.8
-Its ok at 6, but dial it in for max uptake.

Keep up the great work!
-and quit apologizing, F-it lol

Thanks bro:

What would you recommend to give a slight boost in ph?


:rastabanna:

Ph-up :p

You could just pour more original high ph water in there. (Im guessing you're using ph-down only)
-might water it down a little, but works well with a mix around a gallon.

Gonna go by instinct for they appear cool.... ? Maybe a little up or down solutions are widely available but there are some ordinary items that may be used? They appear cool But otherwise just keeping an eye on them

Forgot to mention that I did trim some fan leaves as well as some fried leaves. Nice shade of white & green[attachment=o279012]. Did I mention the aroma? Holy shit batman!

Looking good man. Nice and healthy!

I just may graduate "Growing 101". Just need to keep focusing on the end game. H20 this a.m. No nutes. Repositioned All of the ladies as well as the lighting secondary to out of control growth. Trimmed a few more fan leaves & some funky looking other ones. Again, I understand one of the golden rules of 420/101 & "leveling out the canopy" is definitely on page 2..... Will launch a few wide angle pics in a few this way you guys/gals can get an idea.:abduct:

Guys:

Did some more trimming & noticing 1 plants leaves are turning a lot greener. Should I hit'm with a double shot of the FF nutes?

hi can you help me i have got a cannabis plant & all its leaves have fell off there is only the stem left they only 3week old are they dying?

Knew this couldn't go on w/o a hitch! 1st f/u "I Think"..... While trimming some fan leaves I accidentally pinched a cola. It was a smaller 1 inside the canopy but still a diamond in the rough...... It's still hanging tough, we'll see?


:stupid:

Fan leaves are the solar panels that grow the plant.. Dont remove any unless they are dead.
-The buds dont need the light, the fan leaves do.
Thats prolly more of a F/U than pinching a runt branch that didnt make the canopy.

I wouldnt double up any dosages, but maybe a feed, water, feed is now necessary.
-Looks Great ESTE!

Start of week 5. Trimmed one plant & essentially "Lollipoped" her w/o realizing it! 2 of them are so top heavy that they started listing ....... I'd say at least 5-10 degrees. Straightened them out a bit w/o problems. Also the one cola that I had nipped is fine. I added a few pics so you guys can get an idea where I am.[attachment=o279091][attachment=o279092][attachment=o279093][attachment=o279094][attachment=o279095] My cats are always OUT THERE. Can't/will not invite a hottie over in fear of what she may catch a whiff of! Getting a Dank:angelsmiley:

Any stress should only be done up to week2 of flower. And that is even pushing it for some plants.
-Its week5 man, Hurting them now will tell them to stop flowering, and spend some time healing.

Lollipop is when you cut everything accept the top 1 or 2 nodes.
-That would devastate your yield now that its just about half way done.

Dont let your branches sag on their own weight = stress = foxtailing/airybuds

Pics look great!

Hey bro:

I hear ya...... I actually Did lollipop w/o realizing it @ week 2ish so yea..... Only 1 was kinda done. The other 3 are just chill'n. H20 this a.m. some minor adjustments & that's it. So other than repositioning (centering) the 2 that were "leaning", how does one reposition? Also how do you fix sagging branch issues?



:abduct:

String. Either tie sagging branches to other stems or the main stem, or anchor them to a stick in/next to the pots.

Thanx Bro!!

I know that this has been mentioned in some of my posts but need to say Again, You, (SmokeMyPiece), "Pushit", & "YouCanGrowit" are my heroes!!!!@@@@@ Hands down one of the most satisfying experience thus far in my journey! Not only in farming but in life. Thought this needed to be mentioned. Will shoot some jpegs later today.

@@PEACE@@


:abduct:

lolipopped a bit[attachment=o279127] :rasta:

Giddyup I say.... Please.... Advice or any comments on doing something better?

Conservative on the trimming but here they are.... A coming out party if you will. 3.5 weeks remaining. Can hardly wait!:abduct:

[attachment=o279128][attachment=o279129][attachment=o279130][attachment=o279131]

88f is too hot but you probably figured it out by now 78F is more the temp you want to have in your grow room!

yup:

Understood..... Tons of light/No Exhaust! But... At night nice & cool... 74-78. Next grow will utilize this technique but thanx all the same. :abduct:

Do you find the hairs on your buds are incridebly long? if so thats caused by high temps, sometimes you dont really realize it until it's dried and cured .If it's not the case ,your lucky high temps give hairy buds most of the times.

They appear normal but if it were the case...... this causes?

less dense buds more fluffy end product. it's still gona be potent so....... not much, it's more about maximum yield.

and I saw that you all your seeds in the same container, next time start your seeds in seperate containers roots mixing and touching is bad!

I'm curious to why your plants look like they have been stripped bare, any reason why this is?

Your yet to answer my question as above, as I'm really curious to why you would cut your major fans from the plant and damage its growth for the buds......

CanGro:

Easy to explain..... Now that the plants are in "flower" all of the energy goes into the "flower"..... Not the leaves. Plenty remaining in & around colas to thrive. Lets put it this way, I've noticed a two fold growth ever since. I am talking 5 days. Can't argue with that......Y/N?

But as I've said, uve damaged the bud growth by removeing the big fan leaves. The plant still requires the large leaves for photosynthesis, by reducing the amount of light taken in for the growth of the bud and removing them your buds ain't going to be that big. You've actually stumped the growth by doing this and reduced the carbon intake that the flower requires more so now than in the vegitive state.

fan leafs from the bud should not be removed unless it's covering another bud and minimizing the other buds potential. Fan leaves at the start of the branch that are used to make the branch get bigger when there job is done and the buds have plenty of fan leaves to sustain them and the branch, those leaves can now be removed, makes more juice for the branch and bud. Anyway they usually start to wilt when their job is done anyway.
