Citral Grow...Starting From Day 3 until I harvest!

[martyrprojekt]

so here is the deal with blue dream...like GDP, it is only found from clone. Blue dream has some of the stickiest buds I have seen in a long time. THe only issue I have with the stuff I have been getting is...I do not feel the farmers are growing/curing and drying it properly. SOOOOO, I am wondering what I can do with it? Maybe cross it with a purple male that I have access to?

So many possibilities...such little time!

Status: Day 85, Tray#1 @ Day 42 in flower
---------------------------------
This is the beginning of week #6...Some of the leaves are starting to yellow already on Tray #1. This is happening on the big colas. Not surprised at all. They are monsters. 2 liter coke bottle sized. I will post some pictures later.


Flushing:
---------------------------------
I have a couple questions since I am coming upon it...I purchased florakleen from GH at the beginning of my grow. Since, this is still my first hydro grow...When is it a good time to start flushing tray #1? How much of this crap should I use...and when flushing should I continue using cal mag? Honestly, I get no really great answers on this when I ask...I guess it is a subjective question (depends on the grower). But, hey any ideas would be awesome.

One Major wrench to throw in:
-------------------------------------------
Also, There is an issue that I have neglected to speak about this entire time. One of the plants in Tray #1 is just now starting to bud...its gotten its crazy veg going on where the massive colas would form...and there are flowers forming all over the plant. Not a hermie...I swear.

Why the hell would this plant take so long to develop...and since this is in the same ebb and flow tray, how the fuck am I going to flush? Should I just clone the shit out of this plant? I dunno what to do with it...it is big bushy and beefy...it would be a shame to kill her for the sake of the other buds....

I have also been contemplating harvesting the tops and letting the bottoms continue to get more growth out of them...thus, letting this one plant play catch up. (perhaps I need to let this whole thing go to 10 weeks?) Suggestions would be great! :jointsmile:

one more update:
-------------------------------------
I have had to tie some of my plants to keep them upright (heavy colas equal bending as they get bigger. I am assuming I should be expecting more during the 6 week explosion...but, am not sure with these strains, as they are new to me!

Picture explanations (I must be stoned if I feel the need to explain pictures):stoned:
-------------------------------------
Pictures #1 and #2 are of the plant that is just now fully flowering (random happenings in the grow room)

Picture #3 - is my 2nd tray

Picture #4 and #5 - are from tray #3

some of my girls from tray #2...this one is going to be super sexy when done! The colas aren't massive...but, they are covered with snow! Then again, they have been getting bigger and fatter everyday!:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:

[martyrprojekt]

is it too late to add molases? Should I add it...if so, why and how much! :thumbsup:

[ForgetClassC]

Ive heard it gives the plant some extra simple sugars and lets it fatten up, I used 1 Tbsp/gal.

[Italiano715]

It's also said to help give your buds a better flavor and aroma being that the dry and cure is correct.

[LOC NAR on probation]

It's mostly for beneficial bactera to feed on there by helping the plant with what ever beni's do. I have not seen where the plants actually use the sugar.
I could be wrong.
How bad does it muk up your rez. I would not want to clean pumps and lines on a drip system. that's why I have not tried it.

[martyrprojekt]

good call on the drip system...but in tray #1 I am ebb and flow (starting week 6 of flower)...Tray #2 & #3 are drip. I am noticing more consistency with my drip systems...allthough, ebb and flow has much bigger growth overall. Just an observation.

Any thought on my first post? I will re-post it now....and here we go.
