sweet plants pakalolo. did you top them?
If you were to read my thread using the link on my signature you can see the progression. But, yes I topped the White Sharks both Once. You should be able to see that in the pictures. The top branches on White Shark #1 also got a second cut late in veg. to give me a total of 8 large tops on it.

Here is a link to my photo album for the White Sharks for you as well.

I have some Auto Critical Mass that are a couple of weeks old i was wondering if it was worth topping them to get 4 main colas? or will it not be worth it as they are autos??

Did you ever have a problem with any autos not autoflowering or have flowering delayed on a 24/7 schedule?

Thanks Papa, tho i was not able to determine for certain what those "flower/sacks" are..

Here are some better pictures..

IMG_0170.jpgIMG_0169.jpgIMG_0164.jpgIMG_0168.jpg

Three first pictures are a better take of the 'sack' or sprout or whatever it is. Last picture is picture of pistils. I hope its easiar to see now. The sack looks almost like the roseflower before it opens,. but Im not sure, these seeds were supposed to be feminized aswell. Should i do anything about em, or leave it be? And what is it? :) Any help is appreciated..

Are these pictures of the same plant???? If so it looks like you may have a hermi. get rid of it.

Pictures 1-3 looks like they are male pre-flowers. Get rid of them unless you want to make seeds from a true female.

Picture 4, female, it is a keeper unless it shows male flowers, at which point you can keep plucking the male flowers to keep from your buds seeding out on you, or discard it all together.

Unfortunately feminized seeeds cannot guarantee 100% females or 100% hermi. free.
Actually your femenized seeds will hermi. on you in the less than perfect conditions more often than a seed that is non-feminized. That is why I choose not to use fem'd seeds and cull-out the males and make my own seeds when needed.

Day 34 for Snowryder #1
Day 35 for Snowryders #2, #4

They are doing perfect. Zero signs of any deficiencies. The buds are forming nicely:lol:.

They got fed some tea today, I sure hope it wasn't too overpowering for them.

I may go with one more tea feeding next week and discontinue and just feed water from there on out. I do have some of Sub's supersoil in there and hope that should be enough to finish them out.

The White Sharks are on day 80 (Day 23 of Bloom).

They both recieved about 1 gallon each of the tea. with a little bit of run-off in the tray. They may as well get just one last tea next week and let the supersoil take over from there and finish them out. I also hope that the tea today was not too much for them.

I pinched off a few more hermie flowers on #1:finger:, still finding them on the lowest branches before the supercropping bends.:roll:

I did also notice some seeds forming where I had pollenated the flowers with Mr. Snowryder on White Shark #2.:lol::lol::lol:

Here's some pics. of today:eyesmoke:

My Tomato feed NPK value = 2 - 2.5 - 4
also says mix two capfuls ( 30ml ) into 7 litres water
but i have an autoflower and i heard they need only a bit of nutes to help flowering
so what should i do? be the first time giving nutrients as a first grow.
.. i water with a 2 litre bottle aswell, can someone give me some advice?
how much should i put in the 2 litre bottle@?

auto = auto assasin - 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for sharing.

I've smoked the herb that these seeds came from, and I have also smoked some Great White Shark in the past. But I do not think I have had a cross.

Your strain looks like it finished well.

I also am noticing the lemony smell within the past few days when I get my nose up close to the top of White Shark #1. Light frost is also starting to occur on all the plants I have going in my project. While looking for hermi flowers, my fingers were getting a little sticky. I just hope no more male flowers start to form on her (W.S.#1).

Thanks again for sharing the photo's.

a little over 4ml would be about half dose in your 2 litre, and about 8.5ml would be almost full dose.

start at maybe 1/4 dose (2ml per 2 litres), if that works then slowly work your way up to half dose to week 6, then tapper off and flush.

Just a suggestion with what you have.

Many factors to consider. If you are using a peat based soiless mix, I would only use veg nutes if it takes longer than 3 weeks to show sex. Even then, I'd start small at like 1/4 strength or something. After that, I would jump right to flowering nutes. Depending on the brand of nutes you are using, I would do something like 1/2 strength once a week. I find that autos really don't need all that much. If you decide they need more and want to go higher than 1/2 strength, work your way up slowly. I use Botanicare and 1/2 strength once a week seems to work for me with the strains I've grown.
