leaves are still being affected by whatever my problem is, even after the flush. this thursday will make 7 weeks flower...
buds have slowed nearly to a halt on vertical growth, the tips haven't done much within the past several days, however they continue to bulk up and get denser..can see some swollen calyxes making me suspicious that it's where my seeds will be, but maybe I'll just see a huge cluster of flowers come out of them :D
thanks for checking them out everyone :thumbsup:
Mark...what nutes are you using again? And room temp?
And what color are your stems and petioles?
I had been giving this schedule: schultz water koolbloom water schultz, every 3-4 days or so feeding, ehh..room temps are warm, 80-85 but nothing can be done right now about it..Quote:

Damn, gettin closer to the end haha. Those plants sure looks like they were worth the time. I'm considering cloning now though, I don't like the idea of hermies at all. Even if buds still are potent I don't want hermies. That's just the way I am :p. I'm not saying they turned hermie because they were feminized but I just rather avoid all possibilities. But I'd be happy to have your plant seeded or not haha they look gorgeous :stoned:
Orangeman.....look into a product called Reverse made by DutchMasters. Works excellently against hermies.....I speak from personal experience. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
OK, so this REVERSE is sprayed on in the first couple weeks of flowering, RIGHT? And you do this EVERY time you flower, as a preventative measure, right, not a reactive measure? Am I correct? I know nothing of this process, obviously...but I will soon, I hope. :D
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Wow...I might still end up cloning though due to the fact that it just seems easier than starting from seed if you already have a viable mother. But that Reverse stuff makes me smile :). I'm gonna get some and if I ever get a hermie I will test it out. Btw how long does plants have to be exposed to light during the dark hours before they start to react to it? I had to go down stairs earlier and I used a flash light to look at the plants and look at humidity. It only took me about a minute.
Orangeman imo....you are pushing the line with that kind of thing. You never know which time will be the time they say "'The World Is Ending" and start hermie-ing instead of "boy, there's that guy with the flashlight again...he never lets us sleep" ;)
My sad story is this....my first grow had 15 or so viable female plants.....four hermied (or was it five?) due to various reasons...all stress related.
My hydro guy recommended Reverse.....Fog it is used as a preventative and you use it as foliar spray on day 1 and day 10 of flower. Including this grow I have had 17 females since that first hermie experience and not a single hermie in any other them so far. While obviously it's better not to stress your plants despite my good intentions I manage to do at least one doozy every grow including overpruning, overnuting, undernuting, the molasses experiment that burned the plants and the fungus spray debacle on this grow. Still not a banana to be found....ever. It's said to be 95% effective in preventing male flowers and the 5% male flowers that could appear will positively be sterile.
Straight from the horses mouth.....my hydro guy. :thumbsup:
Yeah I know Weedhound lol. I'm honestly not trying to go in there when they should be resting but I probably wont be over here the whole week and I needed to see how they were doing :p. I only bothered them once in flowering which was today, also today makes week 1. Friday I should have pics.
Thanks, WH, pretty much what I thought, but wanted to hear it from someone who had experience with it. Thanks. Definitely something to stock up on. :)
Hey, O-man, some people who just can't resist going in during the dark period for whatever reason (curiosity or just because they can't work on them during day) put a green light in the flowering room and work from that. Apparently that is supposed to not be "seen" by the plants, therefore not affect them. Just something to think about. Not sure about how true it is. Sounds logical, but...who knows. :)
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Yeah Fog I heard about that. If those green lights work with just green regular incandescents then I might buy one for my little lamp light that I have in the room that I used to turn on during the vegetative stage when I wanted to go in there in the dark. I'm going to clean out my room after this grow is done because I'm really considering sectioning off my room so I can have clones. Due to my situation I'll probably set up one section off for clones and use that to immediately flower and see what sex I have. When I find out I'll take more clones from the plants and kill off the males and flower the female mother and later on flower the clones. I don't have any room to keep a mother alive for as long as I'd like. Oh and one question. Does mother plants suffer if they become root bound? I mean if I'm just using it for cuttings I don't guess it'd be affected would it?
Amazing
is reverse the same as ethrel?
mark, looks good, i think you have it all under control. happy harvesting!
love to all!
kp
Kp I've never heard of that one.....what does it do? Same thing?
If the plants are sprayed with Ethel early in their growing stage, they
will produce almost all female plants. This usually speeds up the flowering
also, it may happen in as little as two weeks.
Ahhh, no this is not the same thing as that.....it simply keeps any hermie traits in a female plant from appearing....ie......no hermie nanners.....a male will still be a male and a female a female. Strictly to fight hermi-ism. :)
added some epsom salt to water they got today, we'll see if it helps them...
if anyone with experience of a sulfur def and used epsom salt to fix the problem could let me know maybe how much I'm going to have to use to see good results or any other info about it really...that would be great.
thanks guys..:thumbsup:
I'm taking it that once my leaves start to become softer again rather than all dry feeling it could be improving? can't tell much difference so far..gave them water at about 3:30..
Mark I honestly don't know what will happen with the leaves.....sometimes leaf damage is a done deal.....just the new growth looks healthy. In a sulfur def....??? that's how much I know.
Your buds sure look like heaps of goodness. :thumbsup::jointsmile:
I bought Epsom salts too and watered them for a possible magnesium def. I only used half a teaspoon per gallon just to slightly adjust them back to normal as they are only in 1st week of 12/12.
Mark, I would say to try foliar spraying them instead of watering with it. It is done by many rose/garden people. Try a 1/2 tablespoon per gallon foliar spray one time and then again 7-10 days later. Using epson salts in soil can change the soils ph. So I would stick to a foliar spray , also it is highly soluble so it makes an exellent foliar spray. Also when You foliar spray you will know that your plants will have "instant access" to the epson salts micro-nutrients. I should have told you this when I recommended epson salts but didnt even think to mention it. Well now you know! Hope it helps.
thanks root doctor...I'm really weary of foliar spraying this late into flower personally, as for a lowered soil ph, that isn't an issue. I believe the cause to this problem in the first place was a slightly high ph, which would be my 7.5 or so tapwater...maybe even using it in the soil will offset it enough to lower ph to a more likeable level?Quote:

Ic , Foliar spraying early in the day (about 15 minutes before your lights normally turns on) on the undersides of the lower leaves shouldnt be a problem. I only suggested that way because the micro-nutrients would be available to the plants right away and it wouldnt affect your soil's ph and the plants would have all day for the moisture to evaporate. Im glad there showing signs of recovery! Another feeding with mild epson salts shouldnt hurt but be cautious dont let there be to much buildup. You might even want to wait a few days back to your normal feeding scedule and then give them the second dose of epson salts. Glad I could help. And ill be watching to see these girls harvested.
seeing cloudy trichs on 1/3 of them so far, the others will be shortly behind I'm sure, but the one showing cloudy is DIRECTLY under the light, so it's getting tons of light, and is getting quite dense if I must say...you guys don't get any pics until thursday or so though, you'll be surprised :thumbsup:
anyone let me know if it's going to be hands down easy to notice 50/50 amber/cloudy..? seems like amber trichs are really noticeable, however it's not as easy as I thought to see cloudy or clear, but I'm capable of it..
took a couple small popcorn pieces to give a try, probably not the best part to take for a sample, they're underneath everything but they've got some cloudy's..:)
I have the same trouble..... can see the ambers ok but not the cloudy or clear very well so I let Paul choose. Those little mini doobies look nice.....smoke report please. :jointsmile:;)
I'm with you on that, I found it rather difficult to distinguish clear from cloudy, you've gotta look incredibly close, but I figure amber is right there distinctly and should be rather easy to spot..I'll let you know once they dry out, maybe will be dry by tomorrow morning and they'll get wake and bake...certainly the best time to tell what a buzz is like.Quote:

I don't have much trouble seeing the amber ones but that's about it. I find it REALLY hard to be able to see trichs on the plant unless I cut a tidbit off. Can't seem to get the focus right. :stoned:
ehh, I can get a good idea in having it near the plant, but you wont see me cutting down until I have a piece on my desk that tells me for sure..glad you finally are getting that fixed, bet it'll sure helpQuote:

still feel kinda moist, regardless in the morning I'm gonna burn the two little pieces to see what it does, then I'll post and say what happened with it..Quote:

Everything looks really good, Markass. I can't wait to see the smoke report and the harvest!
