Flowering log / Picture log

well. Looks like I'm going to have to flush a couple of the smaller plants instead.

They are coming out at ph 5.9. One of them is acting like it has heat stress. This is likely due to ph issue.

While 5.9 isn't horrible (still out of range for soil though)it's far from ideal.

Since I fed them today, flushed them two weeks ago, and they are not stressing too bad I will wait a few days to flush them again. I am running low on sweet ( I spilled 3/4 of a brand new container 2 weeks ago or so) so I want them to try to uptake some of the stuff I fed them today.

I will probably run the flush on tuesday or at first signs that they are getting worse. Which ever comes first.

It was my own fault. The first time I flushed them with 3 gallons of water since I had just gone from 1 gallon containers to 3 gallon. I thought this was enough. I probably should've done at least 6 if not the entire 9 :(. It was really weird because the PH was stablilized 2 weeks ago at 6.5

Any one have any thoughts on that? I know no one is really participating in this thread but some input on the fluxuating ph after a flush would be helpful.

Nice grow box man..:thumbsup:

Plants are looking good, cant wait to see the finished product..
Good luck:thumbsup::jointsmile:

Day 29 Flowering

ok I went ahead and flushed 2 of the smaller plants. I will do the other two at the next watering.

Here are the weekly pics

Pic 1: Overall shot March 8th
Pic 2: Overall Shot March 15th
Pic 3: Shot of Cola March 8th
Pic 4: Shot of Cola March 14th

edit: Please use the oscillating fan as reference for plant growth. On the 8th the plants were standing on about 8 dvd cases each. Today they are standing on none or 1-2.

Combine the fact that I've been lowering the plants with their vertical growth. Not bad. :thumbsup:

2 of these plants are very indica and 3 of the plants are very sativa. It's interesting because the seeds came from the same bag.

Just incase anyone is curious.... they do smell fairly strong. Reminds me of Sour/NY diesel.

Crystals are starting to form on the leaves and the buds have fattened up slightly. This is all from a bag of shwaggity. From what I can tell the genetics aren't bad the grower (probably mexigrown) just didn't do the optimal job harvesting it.

From what I can remember though this stuff was really good.

I save all my seeds and label them ranking them in 5 categories on a scale of 1 - 10.

Aroma, Density, Flavor, Quality of High, overall.

This one had an overall ranking of 6 and a High quality of 6.

At the time the aroma was not all that great. It was fairly dense though.

So hopefully I can bump this up to a 9 overall ranking after harvest.

I wish I had taken some clones off my big plant. She's so beautiful and I'm suspecting will be a decent yielder (3oz +, hoping for 7oz+ though based on 1/4 oz dry weight per cola.. there are about 30 main colas and 10-15 smaller ones.)

well no picture this week. The batteries are dead and don't feel like getting any because I'm a sick baby. heh

One thing interesting to note is that 2 of my smaller sativa dominant plants are starting to outgrow my very large sativa dominant plant.

Also the buds are completely different. On my 2 smaller sativa plants they seem to be producing fluffier buds and on my larger sativa it seems to be making really dense buds.

Crystals are forming but they're tiny tiny. Hopefully as the buds plump up so do the trichomes.

Forgot to mention. Today is day 36-37 of flowering.

looking great dai!!!

man.. I went to check my plants this morning before I left for work. Everything looked as normal. Then I decided to enjoy the fragrance of each plant. I just gently touch a flower top on each plant and smell the scent on my fingers.

Well of interesting note 2 of my plants smell very unique.

The 3 sativa dominant plants all smell very similar however the two plants that are either a hybrid or indica dominant smell unique. One plant smells alot like lemon!!! The other plant smells alot like some kind of mango or papaya.. a type of meaty fruit like that.

I really wished I had taken clones now, oh well. I should have an interesting variety of smoke come harvest. :thumbsup:

Welp. watered 2 of the plants today with plain water.

3 of the other plants got a flush. I had two plants that were sativa dominant that have needed a flush probably for the last 2 weeks but I had been putting it off because they were still showing good bud growth. Well the leaves were starting to show eagle claw symptoms so I flushed them with 9 gallons of water today.

My big plant I didn't think needed a flush but I ran the runoff PH just incase. It was right at 6.0, it may have been lower as I didn't wait to find out if it was going to drop another 1 - 2 points.

I ended up having to flush it with 65 gallons of water!! YEESH!!! That's 13 times what is recommended. I finally got the ph stable at 6.6. I gave it a full dose 1 gallon serving of nutes.

Geez, peat is a pain in the ass. I think from now after I transplant them into their gallon containers I need to use 100% soil instead of my fox farms/Promix mixture I'm using. I was trying to save some cash but it's proving to be a pain in the ass toward the end here.

On another note I believe a number of my plants may be rootbound. I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and leave them be or go ahead and transplant them into new containers. I have up to 6 weeks to go since I'm halfway through week 6 of flower.

Going to post this in basic growing section and see what people suggest.

d....are you using fox farm ocean forrest? how big are the pots? gimme your specs, well....put your specs in so myself and the true experts, stinky, rhizome, wh..we can tell ya alot more if you give us all the info...few pics will be great too.....we use ALL fox farm for ours...in 3 gal pots....had a situation kinda similar...may just need to make more drainage holes....the fox farm nutes are made to be takin by their ocean forrest organic soil mix too....
