If you ever feel like your having a problem with the water penetrating your soil you can use a couple drops of dish soap and that will help the water get saturated into the soil! That's of course if you didn't know that already :thumbsup:Quote:

What's your feeding schedule like and how much nitrogen are you giving them as to phosphorus?Quote:

Correct me if I am wrong but the ratio is 3-4-5? When flowering starts you want little to none on the nitrogen. You want the P for sure, but you want to starve it of nitrogen so that the buds can use up all the available nutrients in the leaves. It also helps run the chlorophyll out of the bud, which also helps in the taste department. :jointsmile:Quote:

lol no, you're totally right. but it's weird cuz i'm starting to see N def starting from the bottom leaves. i was actually reading around and found out that lowryders apparently like less food so im gonna back down, i'm at 4mL as opposed to 5mL per 2L of water and i'll probably go even lower if nothing changes. day 30 is tomorrow and im not seeing what i usually see at this time
This is how it looks overall, you can see the bud sites, the branches that get close to the light are actually really fucking thick and bushy, i can't believe how much the few inches towards the light a difference can make:

Here's a bud just below the main cola:

Top cola:

Here's from Day 26 all the way to Day 33. Notice how much bushier and taller and further up the main cola is as well. So far it's just as bushy but a lot wider and a lot taller lol:

I'm amazed at how stout that thing is! Hugggge damn leaves! Mine have more of a sativa look to them! Buds and trichs are coming along GREAT though! This will probably be done mid Nov. I'm guessing!
Other than that, I bet you have thick dense buds on that! Can't wait to see them in about 3 weeks! :thumbsup:
actually the closer to the top you get the more sativa the plant starts to look, maybe the leaves haven't filled in yet. and yes, i'm hoping mid november!! i can't wait to smoke this shit. unfortunately she wilts everyday because i'm away for work for 12 hours at a time :( i wonder how that affects harvest size and quality... i think you should give coco a try sometime, i think my plant thinks i have a bigger pot than it actually does, hence wilting. i'll give you some tips to help you out cuz i think i pretty much know how to avoid all the crap now, except for the dreaded wilt lol
For AF plants, to me it would just seem easier to go with a soiless mix and go with something basic in the beginning with almost nothing in it for nuts then 2-3wks transplant to a better soil like Fox Farm Ocean or something similar, and then sit back and 2.5 months later you will be done. Of course I would still check run offs and all that but seriously after rereading your post you seem to over do just about everything for a plant that has been bred to just take off by itself. I can understand making sure it has everything it needs but with such a small time frame of life all that you are throwing at it seems to stunt something that is already a runt. I like how diligent you are about things but I am guessing a promix/light warrior/ocean forest blend with some lime or other buffer would have been not only easier but healthier then giving your plant everything in the cupboard from beginning to end. I totally dig what you are doing but it makes me rethink using them indoors. If space wasn't a factor for you would you still continue to pick them to grow?:hippy:
