see this is one of the ww xxl cross pinkie pies its right around the same age as yours
this one is like cookie cutter to some of the pinkie pie's ive grown so far , fingers crossed for purple buds ;)
i did pinch it twice so maybe thats why its taking longer .... its in miracle grow organic soil with some perlite mixed in .... only fed it once and not a bad leaf on it ...... this one is happy with just what ever you give it
How often are you watering? I try my best to stick to once a week. Even if they dry out they are fine and it seems they like it...the buds just swell...

For yours to have ww in it I would think it would be closer to finish... Do the xxl ww take longer?

Well the first thing I learned which I believe is the most important is to allow the soil to dry out. The growth that will follow is crazy. After that is up to the grower.

i think its because i pinched it twice on the main ;) im in no hurry bongsmilie the pinkie doms seem to take a little longer .... i would think it was from being a inbred line ..... I mean i know its not a "IBL" but its pretty stable and they like to take their time in veg ..... I think im going to raise temps a little and see if it that speeds them up a bit ...... i know its hot as hell were he's making his selections so maybe they like a little hotter grow space
My waterings are about 1/2 gallon or so every couple of days and water to run off once a week

Fire ants? Yeah I would lose my fucking mind. Yeah the ph being off is a good possibility since I'm using tap water.

If I use bottle water what should I get? Not sure what would have a good ph. It's getting worst from what I can tell and that will cut my yield down if not fixed ASAP
bottled water is missing all the goodies usually ... really just tap water left out over night then ph'd unless you have some stupid hard water is fine and probably has some of the trace minerals in it
...... if you do decide to use bottled water use RO and add some cal/mag to it the ph will already be around the right range out of the bottle

you never know, I havent fully stabilized it so phenos can range from super heavy to ultra light feeders but they tend to be mid to heavy IME

beauty of soil is that things take a while to happen so whatever you do just dont overreact im sure youll figure it out
So it is spreading and getting worst.mit almost look like they are needing nitro. Wondering if I need to flush or feed. The bottom leaves are turning yellow

i would just give it water like normal and see what happens .... they are dark green so they should be good on N

Ok. I see them swelling so fast. Makes me wonder how much time they really have left. I have to learn how to keep my leaves from turning so fast. Week 6 is really soon unless these are 9 week plants...

So it's moving up and yellowing fast. I'm not sure what a lock out look like. But it seems I need to feed.
soil takes time to get back in its groove sometimes .... are you adjusting PH ? i know i had so many issues with ff nutes it would drop my PH so low that i dumped the shit out in the yard

..... if it was me i would spend $10 at lowes get a bag of crushed garden lime and a bag of jobes organic all purpose fertilizer ....... top dress a bit of lime like 3-4 tblspoons and kinda till it in to the top layer and follow the directions for the jobes but put half of the suggested amount in the soil and the other in the water jug and shake it up and give it a good fast drenching watering to work the lime in further ...... probably what happened is the lime gave out in the mix and ph swung a little , nutes where introduced and probably kicked it down a few more notches , that jobes is organic time release has the beneficial bacteria's its just really good stuff .... for the price its hard to beat and its all you should need really

those lower fan leaves will naturally begin to yellow and die off as you go into the later stages of flower, flowering is the end of an annual plants life cycle so its essentially dying so dont worry too much about a little yellowing especially not on just 1 leaf.

just a side note, take them as long as possible I know its hard to be patient in those last couple of weeks but I promise you man its worth it, they harden up and swell quite a bit in the last 2 or 3 weeks. no harm is going to come from leaving them too long, the worst thatll happen is they will die and in that case, chop, dry and smoke lol

Easier to trim after the fans die off :D

and like mag is saying the last weeks as in 10+ ;) is the real swell most of the time ..... if it looks done snap a pic of a certain bud give it a week and compare it to the photo..... they swell fast at first then slow down and start getting dense

I'm not sure which route to take. The ph drop sound very close to my problem but at the same time I'm in week 6. So I do understand I might see yellowing...


If it's going thru it's normal life. How would the mix you suggested change that...and do I stop all feeding with it?

I plan on riding it out as long as possible I'm not in a rush. As long as they are down by September I'm good. I hope I can get them out to 10weeks. I know they will be monsters. But at 6 weeks I have to slow down the yellowing...

you would be be activating / inoculating the soil with bacteria their little bacteria poop feeds the plants ..... and at that point you would stop feeding other then a light raw sugar or molasses and water mix every weeks or so .... but in reality it wouldnt be a feeding since it would be feeding the microbes ...... you may get a little less weight , plant may take a little longer with organics ....... but the F'n taste is top shelf man it really is ......


this was my time line for my organics since i'm running a couple this round and a couple in a mostly coco with nutes being fed .......


Miracle gro " organic choice " the two that i didnt add perlite to look the best .... so right out of the bag ..... fed with jobes per instructions a week 3-4 .... top dress 4 table spoons of lime at week 5 .... when flower kicks off im going to feed molasses every other week ........ alot of bottle nutes will kill off the good bacteria in the soil ..... if you used a 5 gal bucket of good organic non time released nute soil you really shoudnt have to feed it much at all .... right now your plants are happy from what is in the soil basically since you have barely fed them up until now ...... you started feeding and " slowly " your soil started to become unhappy
