when I did soil I got best results using 4 gal. pots right from the start soil done proper is best but requires more skill & understanding than I have

4 gallons from the start, that is very interesting. Thanks for that. So you don't bother doing all the potting up, you just let it grow away from go. Do you find the leaves got bigger faster that way? I find starting photoperiods in small pots I get tiny leaves. I normally grow auto's in 1.5 or 3 gallon pots from go and their leaves seem bigger.

How long did you veg for in those pots before the 12/12 flip?

So if my plant can in fact uptake any nitrogen from the soil, you'd think the 6ml feed would make have borderline nitrogen toxicity. What does it mean if they keep yellowing? Does it mean my plants are not feeding from the soil? Buds look good, they are going frosty, but they are like 3-4 weeks away. This yellowing wouldn't be a concern if it happened in 2 weeks, but it's just way too early.

If the leaves continue to yellow, how can that be possible is they have ph perfect nitrogen and magnesium in the soil + the soil ph is good + temps are good? I just don't get it... Still, I ain't switching to synthetic nutes.. That would surely resolve it, but not what I'm after. Any more organic ideas? They even had worm castings to help with it. Also had wettable mycos...

well I don't really get what you're feeding there...
But what turned my nute uptake problems round was homemade kelp juice, fed 2x a few days apart.
I don't see why that shouldn't work for you too, seeing kelp delivers directly available forms of nutes, and many different ones too. So it at least in part doesn't require a healthy microherd to "digest" it.
But yeah, if your plants go dry so fast, you could make use of that & take a peek at the rootball of one to see what's going on down there first

when you test your soil, you test the run off right? did you test the ppm of the run off?. i think your plant suffer from nutrient build up

they still looking good imo, you did a nice job until now. i followed your thread from the start , as i am looking for grimm c99

I don't test the ppm of the run off. I'm using organic nutes. I just use a ph tester stick, which I stab in the soil and it gives me a reading. I'd be very surprised if it was nutrient build up, or salt build up. It's more likely to be overwatering, than nutes build up. There are no burnt tips and they've been getting mostly grow feed. I get loads of run off when I feed and drain the plants in the bath for an hour. I have also flushed with epsom salts, which I've done many times with auto's and normally get nice green plants after.

Surprisingly enough, the plants have almost drank all the grow feed yesterday. It's normally dry after 48 hours, this is almost dry after 24 hours. The buds looked good today.

I'm going to give them the same feed today, 6ml grow, which is 5-3-3. See how they do, I'll watch for nitrogen toxicity over the next few days.

Interesting stuff on the kelp juice. I like the fact it's immediately available.

I also ph my nutes and have for this whole grow. + bubble the water 1st.

Been doing a bit of reading up on what you said about the ph of the run off.

Ok, so going to try this. I'm going to bubble some tap water, then record the ph before the feed. Then feed the plants plain water until I get run off, then see what it is. If I feed my plants water at ph7, what does it mean if the run off is higher or lower? It's weird as I have been ph'ing feeds.

Say the run off is 7.5. Does that mean I should be doing to feeds at a lower ph than 6.3? Should I maybe feed them at say ph5, but let the soil buffer the ph? Would that help keep the soil ph in the perfect region?

The rso grow is going great! The plants look done.

Well I'm going to give them a bit more time. Going away for 2 days, in 3 days time, tempted to chop them then and hang them upside down in the tent.

I have removed the 250w mh. Reducing heat, reducing humidity. These are like rocks now, so running temps very low indeed. Nice and cool.

Just a 315w cmh and the xml 150 in here now. Nice as I can the see the trichomes properly under white light.

Rso plants sweet afghan delicious and sweet cheese's day 53 from seed. Not a bad canopy of buds for 7 1/2 weeks from seed I actually think I'm going to get 1lb of dank buddage Very pleasing for me and the cause!

Pics, there are many... but it's the end, so **** it

My veg tent + my own auto's - day 53 from seed. Added 2 leds in here, looking pretty good. Getting close to harvest here with some of the auto's.

3 auto's moved to finish in this 3ft x 3ft tent. 1 x 315w cmh 3100k elite agro lamp

C'99 day 32 of 12/12

Doing very well now, still yellowing a bit, but that isn't stopping the bud growth. These are flowering fast and putting out some nice resin already. I'm please that the plants have taken well to this new lighting!

Not much else to say about these...

sheeez look at all those hairs!!! those buds are going to be superfat

It's a bit hit and miss on whether to chop now, not quite sure. What do you think?

I think it's more important to have the trichomes milky with no ambers for rso. They are solid too. Plus the lady they are for is really ill and just been wiped out by chemo 3 days ago. The oil is her last hope, we need results fast. Time is an issue. She will need oil for 6-9 months anyway, so will be doing her more soon. Will probably make her some C'99 trim oil too in a month or so.

They are so solid I'm actually concerned they may get bud rot if run for much longer. My flat is hot since adding the 1000w too, it smells there and I'm worried I'm going to get raided too. My instinct is saying chop now and get the fucking weed out of there lol

I've just turned off a few lights to cool the place and reduce the smell. Was just crazy dankness there earlier. lol

The trichomes are milky, doesn't that mean the plants has reached it's highest possible potent state before things start degrading?

 

[calliandra]

Do it. lol
I have an immense respect for instinct!

From the pix, the buds didn't look to be that far, so the thought of chopping them already made me jump there.
Also, I'm a notorious dawdler when it comes to harvesting, I hate chopping them down! - so don't listen to me haha
But yeah, if the trichs are milky - and not just on the topmost buds, that's when I usually chop too.

I think I've just got to get the oil as soon as possible. I'm excited about making it. I'm going to make it all the time, once I know how to do it. I've got a mate helping me do that. I think she can get started on the oil next week, if I chop tonight. I've got everything I need to make the oil on the way here.

Plus I want to get my own grow on in that tent asap. 4 auto's in 25 liter pots.

I can get the main bulk of what I need for the 60 grams of oil, then just use a much smaller amount of each harvest to keep her oil supply topped up. Other harvests will be just 3 or 4 ounces for the oil. The 16 ounces now is the big ask. It's there now, I'm pretty sure there is 1lb there, at least 1lb.

I'm tired of the anxiety I have about learning how to make the oil. Just want to do it now. Once I know, I'll be able to help other friends too. Plus keep myself healthy. I'm going on the oil for life. I'm going to build myself up to like 2 rice grain sized drops each day and have that for my entire life.

Well then, good cheer, you've got a helluva task ahead of you!
I'd drop by to help if you were close by lol I'm all antsy not having a grow going

thanks lol

I have a spin pro bud trimmer, but not using that for these. I'm going to remove the fan leaves, hang dry them, so the trichomes get less damaged and tampered with, then just snip the buds off straight into glass jars when the stems snap in 5-6 days time.

I hate 'not growing' Just irritates you for half your life, until you give in and start another grow

So, what have you got planned next?

Firstly, move house, then build new grow space, then a HSO Blue Dream - sheez it seems sooo far away haha!

Makes sense, to leave the buds pretty much untrimmed, it's all getting processed anyways - aand less work for you!
Cheers!
