No don't use superthrive during flowering, she won't like it. Just do what you are doing with the molasses she'll get there for you. You probably don't have too many seeded parts , but let her grow em out then you can use them later. I recently (about 2 months ago) took down a seeded chem dawg that I deliberately pollinated. ASfter taking all the beans out I smoked the weed and it was damn good. Surprisingly the quality was not as deminished as folks say.

Even if you do have some seeded parts the quality will not be that affected.

wow that was fast bra..sounds good i wont use it then..glad i didnt rush into it and waited out for answers..i should have more pictures posted up by tonight at the latest..im excited this year i love growing i cant escape it im addicted to it! im trying to go back to school for agriculture and chemistry..just so i can never have to worry about not being able to support myself in times of bad weather,money, or scarsity....the mollasses thing as well as the nuts, should i not do that every couple days...when should i mix in normal water feedings

You'l want a water/feeding schedule. Something like water, water, water/food. Since she is not in a pot that has drainage the food you give her will last a bit longer in the soil. Now that you have given her a couple good doses of food and molasses wait a bit to see if she needs anymore for now. Watch her leaves if they start to go pale feed her, she'll talk to ya.

Here are the pictures i promise tonight.How far along do you all think now? and as you can see in the last one that seed forming...the only one as of now...also in one of the buds in between the leaves and the pistils i found webby stuff which i think is mold...wtf do i do about that so it doesnt get worse?

thank you

Looks like they are about 3 weeks into flowering. I don't see any mold in any of the pics. However if you do get mold it can be picked right out of the bud. Picking out affected parts is the only way to deal with it besides taking the plant down. When I've dealt with it I just pick it out and hope for the best on the rest of the plant.

yes it was just inside the bud..i didnt take a picture of it because i picked it out...it was sorta like a webby spider web really white as well. is that just from it getting rained on or not getting enough air flow...alos i have this iron/zinc foliar spray...can i add anything to that and give her a foliar boost or just leave it be nutes in the ground?

Probably a combo of both rain and lack of air flow through that area. I'd just stick with what is in the ground. A folier feed will only add moisture to your plants. If they aren't showing any lack of any nutrient then giving her any through folier would possibly cause a toxic amont to go through the plant. Best to stick with your soil and read your plants from there.

Wonderful, so im stressing the fact that i just went to take pictures and since i have so much tying her down i sorta trip over one a completely snapped a huge branch offf..it was a middle branch well behind in the process it statyed attached by the skin so i put it back together and sealed it with a bandage along with a blowstick and some string and its very secure but that brach seems very down already...what do i do take it off or leave it like that?

idiot

Tie string around it just above where it split ot tape it with some plumbers tape. It should grwo and repair itself laeving a big ol knuckle behind. I did that to one of my chem dawgs and the bud still produced even though it never did heal correctly. She should be fine. Your buds are looking good.

new update..she looks completely back to normal...think she will herm at all other then for what shes doing?..and if i find calyxs that are growing without the hairs on them and slightly larger does that mean that they were pollinated by a male flower in her genes and are currntly in the seed process?


also where she was getting hit by the light and she wasnt budding at all she finally has resumed her course as they aer far far behind her maturing lower limbs.

i also see that the stuff that was hit by the light during the night cycle...are kinda yellowish in the leaves closest to the budding sites(very wierd) which is wierd to me as the budding parts on the more mature ones arent.next time i take a picture i will show what i mean

Usually a plant that hermies will do it during the intitial flowering phase and then be set in its direction, kinda how when it just goes female or male. If there has been any pollination you will see that thsoe pollinated parts have red shrivaled pistols. You could lightly squeeze a calyxe and if it is firm then you have a bean in there if it is soft no bean.

another picture of the tips that had got hit by light unlike the lwoer buds that are growing fuller and fast...these still just have hairs/preflowers.

also on this plant i have shoots that near the buds the veins are completely purple..yet other buds that are the same are still green.whats up other then genetics or the 40 degree night we had the other night

The purple is from exactly what you thought it was, cold temps. The preflower sites--are those lower on the plant? You know you could trim off those struggling stems and let the bud energy go to the ones that are developing. Or you could leave them and use it in joints and things like that. They will eventually turn into popcorn nuggets and they will probably be done around the same time your stronger growing buds are.

thats actually the top branches..remember how i said that i had light source coming in threw night time and i had to tie her down...well once i tied her down i put cardboard over the plow sticks to keep her in the dark threw night and finally they started to fill in with hairs as they werent doing.those are the ones that are far far behind..but now they get the same amount of light as the others but just are behind. and there a quite a few branches like that.what do you think i should do..let them go..or ...

and jsut to say this plant is only 50 percent mine do to it not being on my property lol which is fine with me but im trying to get the most out of it

and also, the purpling..its only on certain stems..that just cause it hasnt reached the other yet?

Yea I remember now, went and reread the thread. Just let it do it thing as far a the little under developed ones go, they will be something however small they end up. Leaves go purple from temps, now purple stems that is a different matter. That is generally related to phospherous, you may have a slight deficiancy and this may be a part of the reason some of the bud may be lagging behind. You could give you huge plant another blast of bloom booster at 1/2 the reccomended amount. I am going to assume that the larger the plant the more it needs to eat, she is probably okay on nitrogen, your bloom booster is just a pk correct? WHile you are at it pour in some molasses too especially for the cal/mag that is in it. :eyesmoke:

well i wanna feed her again..but it rained the last couple nights. so i think the ground is pretty wet so i dont wanna destroy the roots...and the bloom boost has a 1 for nitrogen.

and how much of a dose should i give it...im trying to keep the soil microbes alive and well so im not trying to saturate them in the chemcals
