From outside to inside - auto variety

[WolfieLee]

UPDATES:

1.) Lights are roughly 42 hrs. on 6 hrs. off cycle since hooked up.
2.) Latest feeding happened Sunday afternoon:

1ml each / Gallon (fed all plants equally 1/6 galllon):

CaliMagic; Recharge; Rapid Start; Floralicious Plus; FloraBlend

3.) Covering info pics of all new nutes in separate post.
4.) Covering LST of SCH #1 separately as well.
5.) Pre-feeding TLC: added layers of clean F707 (1"-2") to all but amnesia. Aerated the center of the root mass more by poking a thin fiberglass rod all the way to bottom in four spots around each stalk. Gave Amnesia a booster seat.
6.) Time of feeding and current pics for comparison (multi-post):

SCH #1 (Day 18 @ feeding, Day 21 current):

SCH #2 (Day 18; Day 21):

SCH LTS

1.) I feel that I waited too long to FIM because where I had planned on it the leaves were already unfurling. So Here is DAY of LST to present comparison shots.

I need advie on how dry to let these get cuz they're taking a while to dry the mix still very moist and want to let the roots dry this good this time because I've been slacking on that...

New supplements

Recharge by Real Growers...

be right back with pics and list

Ok so I stick my finger down into in soil along the outside of the pot about 3 inches. If it is still moist don't water. If it is dry then water away. I also like to pick them up and after a while you will be able to tell if you need to water by how heavy thenpot/ container is.

On another note... I would not be using any ferts yet! Except for maybe the root enhancer... You are using roots organics and that is great soil, no need to feed with ferts for probably another month + . I have used RO in past but now use only FFOF. The below pic below is my Cheese which popped ground May 12. Still have not used any ferts. You might not have problems yet but too much ferts too soon causes problems down the road. I would stop using the ferts for now. The soil has all it needs for a while. Just my 2cents

O.K. Thanks for the response. I will use the Flora Kleen clearing solution and then just water the next couple weeks and see what happens. Despite all the little annoyances each of these plants have had to deal with I'd say they are really looking good, but I don't want to mess anything (ELSE) up...

One counter-point...these are just the supplements NOT the MAIN nutes... any thoughts?

I would stop adding everything that you have been putting in there except the root enhancer that is cool! You spent $20 roughly on that bag of soil because it has everything your plants need to sustain healthy life for a couple months at the least! My 5 week old plant above is proof of that! In another week or so I might add some seaweed juice but will only use it once every other week. Stop for 2 weeks and let the soil do its job. Trust me it will probably save you from having a build up towards the end and avoid nutrient lockout and your end result will suffer greatly! I only preach this to you because I did the same thing many years ago when I first started. Less is more my friend!

O.K.

I will use the FloraKleen tomorrow and just water for 2+ wks. and see what happens...

Thanks in advance for saving me from a NOOB F-UP!

Waht U think about me using this with the FlaroKleen (or next watering after) It is just a silicone suppliment to aid in nutrient uptake / usage... (FASiLATOR?):

I don't think it is necessary. I don't use anything for first couple months at all! You will figure out your own way soon enough. Good luck!

 

[WolfieLee]

K, thanks for input and will SLOW it all down if only for a little while....

 

[WolfieLee]

Update:

1.) I didn't like the way they seemed to slow their stretch down to a crawl, so they have been outside since 1 p.m. yesterday and I will hopefully be done with the grow room by tomorrow night so they can get under TWO T5's this time (it's that time... got 5 nice little bushes and they don't all fit under the one anymore...)
2.) Amnesia got a 1/2 gallon flush with FloraKleen (4ml / gal.) last night and the rest just this evening (all 1/2 gal same mix). Amnesia looked a bit spotty I'll know if I should be concerned by the time they come inside tomorrow night
3.) All but amnesia are now in (or past) pre-flower, even the poor Dk. Purple I singed with the light...
4.) Finally got the grow room build thread caught up: https://www.rollitup.org/t/hickerbilly-budget-room-aka-this-thread-under-construction.912465/

LST Update:

1.) undbound her this morning. Got at least 4 main tops coming up and probably one more I'll work at bringing up. Will do more training when I move em all back under the T5s and post back with it...

Maybe not as LOW stress as I would have liked...but that leaf is still living - for now.

They look great mate!

 

[WolfieLee]

Thanks much appreciated. I've never done this before and so when I look at them side-by-side now I almost cringe cause SCH #! actually looks somewhat diminished to me but I'm trusting the advice and watching it happen myself. It's kind of satisfying but part of me just wants to scream "WTF did you DO, dumass!?!?... It don't even LOOK like MJ anymore" LOL

Thanks for stoppin' by...more to come....

Ding dong the room is done, the room is (almost) done!!!

Couple quick peeks under the lights:

LST Phase II

OK got them all back inside in their new grow room, then went to town on the SCH #1:

1.) Screw the zip ties! Using stiff insulated copper wire (should I cover the tip so no copper is in touch with the soil?)
2.) Pulled the main kola down a lot more and moved a couple new tops to less shaded spot (and did leaf tucking by hand and one big one with same wire used for main kola)... Opened her up in the center drastically and kept the kola below the rest of the new tops...

Here are the pix:

root enhancer that is cool! You spent $20 roughly on that bag of soil....

BTW...not 20... try $58 and some change!
