hey bud kb here havent been on the site in a long time sorry had alota shit going on didnt really have time to get online, anyway whats new?

hey man sorry i havent been on site in alittle while, so wassup? re ask me the question u had on ur auto flower? and if u can send me a pic

I'm a big advocate of letting those starch and sugar factories stay on there as long as they will, fan leafs creat starch and sugars, which in return creats big buds, you need these for max production, you can tuck them under or tie them back. do what you can NOT to remove them getting light to the leaf isn't as important as what the leaf gives the bud, try briging the buds forward and tucking the leafs under, you can eaven bunch them and tie them to your stake, just dont snap the stems.

shure let it go awhile, I would the benifit of that molasass is the living bacteria in its sugars help your plant use inexcessible soil nutes, it breaks them down for your plant, now your plant is useing whats there and available, next it will expand its's search. you can help it out I set a five gal bucket of wter aside for this give it a couple days for water to declorinize. It does no good to add living bacteria to clorine right? add your unsulfured molasass 1 teaspoon per gall let it sit or give it right to them. if you have extra water you can add a cup of gauno to it with a fish pump and air stone. Gauno will give you a good source of p and a fair amount of k. great bloom tea!

lol thanx brotha but trust me i still have alot to learn, ive only been growin a decade there are old timers who have been doing this since before i was born, but they usually dont have internet lol and if they do they still have that old timer mentality and are too paranoid to talk online about growing lol but ya bro u got anymore questions shoot em at me

if ur plant is leaning then ur gonna need to stake it for support, i really hate staking plants when they are in flower be careful not to fuck ur root system to much stickin that stake in soil, try to keep to side of container so u will avoid most roots, use sum floral tape u can find it at any craft store, or twist ties just make sure there not to tight when u tie up stock, in the future always stick a stake in there when they are really young so u dont have to do it when the roots are bigger and the plants are flowering

7500 lms per plant is the rule of thumb, keep those auto flowers under 24hr light this will rapidly veg them and keep auto PRE-Flowers from happening before you can clone them. move your blooming plant into a COMPLETLY dark room NO ligh emitting from anywhere, do this on a 12/12 light cycle and you will be good. Do check into a small Hps/mh combo. A 250 or 400 watt won't jack your bill that much 1000w on 24hrs shoots my bill 65.00 with 3/4 of a pound coming out off it every month, very decent return on $ spent.

A good place for on-line or phone orders would be a company called Igrow hydro, bing them and they come up. they have a very large catalogue. and re-pack for shipping . They are totally legit in every state. they just ask you don't mention anything illegal . Buy the way I found them in high times years ago and have done buisness with them for lots of years. should be able to find anything you need there, even insects.ie ladybugs ect lighting is very resonably priced as well as nutes good luck. peace

OMG your pot is HUGE! lol
molassas , well , i dont use it anymore. I did, but i would like to see you use a bloom boster like HAMMERHEAD instead.
Get some general hydroponics PH DOWN if you need to adjust your ph. if your in soil your alright.. if your in coco your too high.
Rember soil around 6.5 and coc 5.5 to 6.2. If your in soil your not far off.
YOur girls look great. keep up the good work. Add some CAli Magic general hyroponic always helps a bit. and i would go full strenghth on th nutes. Remember you can always flush between feedings, I really would like you to get a PPM meter. that way you can see how high your nute run off is. Its really the only and the best way to see how much your lady is eating. It will elevate worry and stress so much.
Doing greatt, keep it up homie.

looking sweet KCC! only cut off the leaves that are more than 50% yellow or dead.. if you want.. you have pleanty of leaves though so if you want cuz they are bothering you, no problem cut a few off but your plant looks super good! nice work.

Get a ph test kit and test your runoff when you water. You want it to be 6.5-6.8. I don't check ph myself, but I mix lime in my potting mix and in my planting holes outdoors because I know that my soil tends to be slightly acid. I know that there are some additives that work quicker than lime to raise ph, but I don't know what they are. I think that you are still experiencing the aftermath of the nute burn. Mine took a couple of weeks to get over it, but they are doing great now. Finding the balance with nutes has been the hardest thing for me to learn about growing.

yes u can use regular scissors, just make sure they are clean (i.e. dont use scissors that u use to prune outdoor decoritve plants that kinda thing)

yea u can use that any humic acid product is fine, adding lime will only increase ur calcium and magnesium levels and raise the ph, u add lime to peat based soils to help keep ph stable cause over time peat can become very acidic, plus ocean forest has dolomite lime and oyster shells for ph stablity, definitly remove some of the bottom foliage that is affected dont remove alot tho cause ur plant is in flower, when ur plant is flowering and u remove alot of foliage it interpets that as a attack from a pest or animal and will try to make sure it reproduces (hermie) cause the whole point of a plants life cycle is to reproduce what we do when we grow is trick the female in to thinkin she will get pollinated but she never will and fills up with fatty buds for us, so take a couple of the damaged leaves off but dont go overboard

are u still using distelled water? it looks to me like u are gettin a nute lockout, have u checked ur soil's ph, when u check soil ph u have to check different parts of the container to get a true reading, also make sure ur meter is clean before testing ph, fuck bro to be honest what i think u need to do is get sum kinda chelate to help that plant eat, get the humboldt nutrients humboldt humic or humboldt flavorful, either than or sum enzymes id get sum hygrozyme and water wil hygrozyme every other time u water

ya should be fine, make sure ur room is set to where ur temps dont get to hot

If it were me I would foliar feed with a weak fish emulsion spray, like 1 tbsp per gallon. I would alternate this a plain water spray with lights out. You can turn lights back on after about 30 minutes. I would do this a couple of times a day if possible. Get a sprayer that produces a fine spray and you can turn the lights back on almost immediately. Also add 1 tbsp of sugar per gallon of water the next time you water. It will help with the nute burn. No more nutes for awhile!

to be completly honest with u bud ive never gone by their feeding schedule, i only liquid product of theirs i use is the big bloom so ive never really had to pay attention to their feeding schedule, there is a group on here with growers that use all fox farm, if u go to my profile and look at my groups ul find it im part of it, they could proly help u out with the feedin schedule more than i could, i can tell u this always use less than what they reconmend and good rule of thumb is use half of what they say to use

u will get sum air comin in from under the door, electric outlets and somewhat but if ud ont have something pullin that air in there wont be much air cominin thru those outlets, but ur temps an all sound good bro! keep in mind u dont have to be runnin a inline espcially since ur runnin cfls the air in the room shouldnt get to hot, but it would be something that would help and definitly allow fresh air to come in, if u can only get one fan set it up to extract the air outa the room, it will create a vaccum and suck more fresh air into the room as it sucks the old air out

no nada i forgot u are using the grow big dont worry about mycorrhizae, mycorrhizae are benifical microbes that form a symbotic relationship with ur plants and help them be able to eat in a organic grow, the grow already has chelates in it that will force ur plant to eat, anyway the room setup sounds good, i dont know too much about flowering under cfl's so u should ask one of the groups what height ur lights should be at, also to u have a window open or anyway to get fresh air to move in and out of the room, a house fan works good at movin the air around the plants but if thas all u got runnin ul need to open a window or find a way to get more fresh air in theyre, vents are good jus cover them with a nylon stockin so no unwanted pest come in
