too late:( i think i need to speak to a moderator or something, prob just leave it lol
just a quick update
having some issues with the fan leaves blocking the light so i have pushed all the fan leaves underneath the branches below thus exposing the undergrowth, they look happy'r already :) still only a week and a half into flower and not much visual change yet. wwxbb has seen the most change she has the longest pistols out of the 4 and i only realized yesterday that for the 1st week my light times was 11 off 13 on, now on 12/12 hopefully the extra hour will kickstart the process a bit quicker.
have also released the lst on the blue widow, i feel iv trained her stems enough now and with her current shape she is getting max light.
visual note: the blue widow doesnt have reach the sun leaves at first, they grow so big and fast right at the top, its like the tip cant support it so they sorta just hang, its only when she gets taller and the stem thicken out that the reach out-even then she looks like she might be struggling, no sign of stress as of yet
infact every leaf is a very dark green, even the jack which is the palest looks dark! lol if u know what i mean. no yellowing as of yet even on the 1st single true leaf all but the bw, (i was late in ordering my nutes) she lost both her 1st true leaves but that has been it.
temps is 28d< d? i used this before and i think i might av them mixed up? i believe its 28c? please excuse the school boy error if u come across it in some of my earlier posts!
and my night is 14.6 c, gonna try and keep her there! i really wanna see the 'blues' colours so fingers crossed.
Hey buddy, nice log! I'm just starting one also, check it out!
I use flora series nutes with some non-nitrogen additives and I have never had any yellowing to speak of. I tried chopping the bottom of the bush this time. We'll see if it helps!
I always top my cuttings very early. This is automatic after 1 week vegging. If the stem is too tight, FIM! I don't top seedlings at all because i dont want to stress them until they show sex. Also the cuttings are less stressed. What do u think about topping affecting yield?
:thumbsup:higher than you,
You may want to get some sort of supports for your, soon to be dank and ;)heavy nugs! Those plants look like they are going to yield some buds that the plant is going to have a bit of trouble supporting.
I am not sure I saw what kind of nutes you are using...sure nice looking plants! OMG, if the size of those plants are an indication of the potential size of buds, you are going to be budded encouragingly.
Nice grow show, loving it!:jointsmile: pr
Oh and how is your pet?
hey kest
thanks for dropping in buddy, im glad u like what you see :thumbsup:
i had a quick sneak at ur log and 1st most, i must congratulate you on the training of your cat! lol maybe u could have a word with my dog some time!
secondly, a :thumbsup: on your grow, yours girls are looking very healthy and happy! with regards to only yielding 3+ oz per plant, thats not a bad for an indoor grow, trust iv seen worse, and also, different strains different yields :) ill be honest with you, with regards to your set up you have a lot more going on and look a lot more advanced in your growing journey than i, im still a noob on my 3rd proper grow, my last grow i had a jack hera in soil that came in at 623g after crop which i thought was pretty good considering.
i top about a week and a half in, i veg from seed on a 400 hps and its usually on the 3rd or 4th node depending how quick she is growing, also unfortunately iv never had experience with cuttings or with trying to determine sex of my own plants, i grow all mine from feminized seeds, i think as time goes on i will be looking into it, there seems to be a lot of benefits and advantages to this style that i would like to explore. in fact i want to explore every style but all in due coarse.. gta walk before i can run lol, i find that with lst and topping i have increased my yields compared to that of just leaving her and trimming, keep an eye on the log, iv topped one, lstd one and left the other 2. i seen u have chopped the bottom off yours (lollypoping i think) in week 5 of flower, from what iv read theres a lot of mixed feelings bout doing anything to your plants whilst in flower with regards to topping chopping and pruning ect, have you done this before? and did you notice any slow growth or even the opposite? i try to keep any training to the veg stage, although this time i fiddled about in the 1st week, but have seen slower recovery than usual, i guess from the less hours of light? will be checkin in your grow see how how ur ladies get on, i see u slide towards the sativa..:jointsmile:
pr :thumbsup: how are you? all good i hope!
thank you for your kind words, and your sound advice. i will defo be buying some stakes, i have wondered about this tho? do the not damage the roots? is there another method? i have nothing i can tie above either and the last thing i want is broken branches and damaged nugs. bear is gettin bigger along with the plants lol hope to see you at the very end.
oh and kest, if u want big yields, try a 3 month veg, im planning on it in due coarse..
nearly forgot, my nutes for veg are ionic grow, soil. ionic boost. iv waited the two weeks in the past but find with 400w at week two i already have signs of nute def, first feed with the 1st top, for flower i use sensi bloom advanced nute part a and part b with the ionic boost, i dont half my nute mix, i feed em what is says on tin ;)
You can always tape the stakes to the outside of your pots. Whats a growroom without a little duct tape haha
BTW, great looking girls you have going!:thumbsup:
haha true story! :) cheers pushit, i will give her a few weeks yet and see what what her development is like, will keep 'ol faithful' at the ready lol
632 grams!!! That's 20+ ounces, bruddah! How many plants??????????
I put the stakes in when I transplant into the largest container. That way, the roots grow around it. If you haven't added stakes, you can try yo-yo's (its fishing line on a retractable spool with a plastic hook) hanging from the ceiling or your light. You can also tie your colas together. Attach a string loosely to the plant's base and spiral it upwards around the biggest stems. When you get to the top, gently pull at a 45 degree or so angle, and the string will tighten around the plant. Then tie the string to itself or the light, or a stake etc., adjust a few uncooperative leaves, and the plant will acclimate itself in a couple days. Be careful you don't pull too hard and break the stem.
The leaves I trimmed on the week 5 flowering plants would have been trimmed eventually anyways since they would've developed splotches due to light deficiency, so I figured I'd pull 'em early, see what happens.
Imo, the point of cuttings is this:
Say you get a bag of five seeds. You sprout 'em all. They all grow equally in veg. You take 2 cuttings of each before putting them into flower. One of the plants seems to produce more trichomes but stretches. Another is bushier but yields less. One of the five, however, is twice as potent as the others, hardly stretches at all, and gives solid yield. That cutting you keep, the rest you toss. Now you know exactly how each and every plant you have will react to nutrients, temperature, stress, etc. For example, I kept this 'phenotype' of Zensation because of it's pain-relieving qualities and excellent bag appeal. I kept this pheno of Carnival because the f'n spider mites run away from it dude, I sh*t you not! I am tossing this black cherry because though it's the diggy, it has a tendency to make a few seeds :(
