GraSSy's late grow log

[GraSSy12]

i'll be adding canna boost tomorrow and one last round of lst.
any suggestions? can anyone see the pics? I really would like some sugestions on how to increase yeild.

[Lit Up]

I really wonder about your "hermie" only 5 days after switching your lights. I usually don't fully determine sex until almost 14 days into flowering. Because some females may look like hermies but it isn't pollen sacs it is actually swollen calyxes and they grow out of that stage. Give your babies more time male won't release pollen until 3-4 weeks into flowering anyway so you have plenty of time.

On another note your plants look like they have some seriouos heat stress, probably due to the fact you had 1600w's of light on two plants. I'd go down to just one 600 or even the 400 cause IMO your wasting electricity. Move your plants away from the lights more. Peace bro

Lit up speaks the truth, I too thought I had a male and it was just the swollen calyxes throwing me off. They didn't pop their hairs out until the plant started sprouting hairs all over the place. I would imagine the reverse would work too, it should stop all pollen production in its tracks..

Thanks for dropin in i too thought it was too early but the pistils were starting to show and then i saw three ball like obects grouped together like grapes at one site and didn;t want to risk it. i didn't know it takes 3-4 weeks for pollen to be released i may have waited if i did.


yeah it does have a little heat stress but i dont have great ventilation options and only a few inches left to move the lights up that why i decided to go with brewing beer for that marginal co2 increase to hopefully help with the stress and i also plan on tieing it down one more time. thanks for the input much apreciated

i have a question for anyone who is following this thread. my baby is drinking 2.5 gal a day roughly i dont have a ppm meter so i ust keep adding ph adjusted nute free water and change the res weekly. would it be safe to add a reduced ration nut insted?? i do check ph daily and it slowly goes up. i would think that is due to nute being used coz my tap water is 8.0 and when i add the nutes it goes down to about 7 the i adjust to 5-5.5 so i can only guess the it would go back up as nutes get used? any help would be appreciated thanks

[GraSSy12]

just dont want to kill it with too much of a good thing

[Rock.Steady]

one question i saw you ask but not get an answer.

yes, you can use Reverse at any time you see male flowers emerge, period.
this is straight off Dutch Masters info.

Good Luck w your grow.
