Beginner Grower from VA. Im nearing end of Week 5

[wallywonks]

This super skunk is a space hog. A few fan leaves bigger than my hand now

 

[wallywonks]

The other white widow auto is still stretching. She was 21" yesterday now she's 2 ft tall.

 

[wallywonks]

The other Super Skunk. Topped she's staying low and bushy.

Wish I did

The label reads:

• Soluble Potash (K2O)……4.0%, Derived from Potassium Sulfate
• Add 5-10mL/gal in veg
• Add 10-30mL/gal in flower

To replicate this additive by mixing my own Potassium Sulfate solution and testing it on

I have done some calculations and found that in order to create the same concentration of Soluble Potash derived from Potassium Sulfate, I will need to add 300g
of Potassium Sulfate per gallon of water.
So for 50lbs of Potassium Sulfate it will cost you 38 bucks. 300g = .66 lbs so by the math using a better source of Potassium then what they use. You'll end up making about 75 gallons of "terpinator" all for 38 bucks. I just saved you $5113.50 over the course of a lifetime using terpinator.

Well I believe I guessed right on the yellow leaf tips. I did notice they were mainly on leaves at the top and since they have been growing since I increased watering and changed the light schedule to 12/12 that I never raised the light. It has to be light burn/stress.

Verified with online diagnosis.

Trichromes getting more visible. Not sure if their turning milky white but their not invisible to the naked eye. Pistils are still white. Gave her some Brer Rabbit molasses tea today. Hopefully she bulks up a little more in the last 3 weeks. But she was the seed that had a bad cotyledon and the first set of 1 bladed leaves were missing half the leaf. But I decided to let her live. I hope she rewards me with great smoke. She definitely surprised me. I didn't think she'd make it and then the preflowee stretch she went from 6 in to 18 in a week. Other thing she's still growing very slowly. I measured her today and she's 21 inches so maybe she's in week 4 or 5 of flower. That means should have 3 to 6 wks left. ILGM says 10 to 14 weeks growing cycle and I planted the germination Sept 3rd. It's Sativa dominant out of 60 indica/40 Sativa hybrid. So I guess I'll go by pistil color and trichrome color for harvest.

Here's pics of her when she germ and 2 weeks later. Compare that to where she's at now it's incredible survival
. She's on the bottom on the 2nd pic right below the super skunk photoperiod

Here's her trichomes as of today. Some don't even look like they are in full form just emerging from the resin glands. She probably going to get really white soon

But you won't get to add the mysterious and unlisted proprietary ingredients! Your plants are gonna fucking suck, dude! LOL

Tomorrow is end of week 7. The one WW Auto the buds are getting a little bigger. Definitely nitro tox. It's my fault for using FFOF the bottom half of the pot. Especially since she was stunted earlier.
The other WW Auto is shaping up nicely. I've did trim a few leaves and a couple lower branches in the shade. Trying to keep her within the tomato cage cause the other skunk is taking more space.
Both Super skunks are preflowering now 6 days after light cycle change to 12/12. Used a loupe and saw a few calyx with little pistil hair coming out. I trimmed the large fan leaves in preparation for their stretch.
The Super skunk with the giant fan leaves is 28" tall now. I am worried about her stretch. I can fit a 54" plant max before they get within the 14" of the grow light.
The bustier WW Auto is still stretching. She's now 31" tall. She's only supposed to get 18 to 24" total. She's showing Sativa genotype in her leaves and her stretching but a little bustier.
The other Super Skunk is still 20" tall and I have gotten all bud sites to its top canopy.

 

[wallywonks]

The runt WW Auto is filling in the cola and fattening up a little. There's 4 pistils that turned brown red.. still no amber trichromes. I gave both WW autos banana peel tea watered in. The other WW Auto is in week 3 or 4 of flowering. Trichomes are showing up on her now. She went from 20 in to 36 in the last 2 weeks. She's 14 in taller than noted on ILGMs website. She got lots of cotton balls now. The skunks are in transition and they have budlets forming with white pistils when looking at them with a loupe.
The topped super skunk has a nice even canopy with many bud sites. The bigger one I Fimmed I have no idea how many colas or what it's going to do. I defoliated every under her canopy.
Humidity is under control. 40 to 50% all day. Daytime temp is 74 to 77F and 70 to 71 at lights out. I replaced the 4in AC infinity fan with a 6in one. It helped immensely. No need for the big 12in exhaust fan now.

I mixed up 2 cu ft of super soil for next organic grow. Its peat moss, perlite, ewc, rabbit manure, basalt, dolomite lime, oyster shell flour, azomite.

Then 1 cup each shrimp meal, crab meal, fish meal,, alfalfa meal, neem seed meal, fishbone meal, Dr Earth's tomato and vegetable mix, 2 cups kelp meal, 1/2 cup langbeinite,. Then added 6 cups of the fertilizer mix to the soil mix

At the start of flowering I’d use Orca 8ml per gal, fox farm Open sesame, Carboload, bone meal and Terinator if you want it to come out like the photo

I like your photo but it was pulled to early your trichomes are clear as day brother not knocking you just for future help we’ve all done it but I would’ve definitely let that go two weeks at the least maybe three

Thanks try to be more patient. That was only 1 still have two other I going to let them go an other 3-5 weeks. Those were planted two week after the first and started flowering about two weeks after

Today is beginning of week 9 since germination for the 2 WW Autos and 2 Super Skunk. The skunks are being fed Incredible Bulk organic PK and 2 tbsp Blackstrap molasses per gallon alternated when watering. The one Super Skunk is 39" and making her fan leaves big again. She's lollipops so she can focus on the 13 to 15 bud sites on top. Looks like the FIM made 3 colas. The topped Skunk is still stretching but staying short and bushy. Looks like 3 to 5 main colas from her. The other WW Auto is 37" tall and she's been that height for 3 days. I think she's done entering week 3 or 4 of flower to grow her buds. Trichs already forming around the bud sites. The other WW Auto seems 1 to 2 wks from harvest. I have to keep an eye on the trichs. They are milky and transparent still. No amber yet. I want at least 50/50 cloudy amber as I prefer couchlock, zombie, help me relax and sleep buzz. I don't like racy speed weed Sativas.

 

[mrtrippsuk]

Looking lovely.. I think I’m going to try autos next.. you inspired me

 

[wallywonks]

Trichrome porn. They look opaque now. Hopefully 1 or 2 weeks till harvest.

 

[Failmore]

Need to look where the hairs are. 4 weeks or so probably.

I concur

Try using some terrinez or tepinator and in 3 days you’ll notice a difference With Orca or great white

Why do you come on every thread promoting Terpinator? You're telling people to waste money. Cmon it's just water!
