I appreciate all hints. I’ll ramp up the PK with using fox farm I’ll have to see which one has the most. Next round would you say to use full strength off that schedule? I’m definitely down to try it. I need a PPM reader. That was a hiccup on my end.
Hmm, they look under developed for 5 weeks but some strains take longer in early flower / stretch. What strain is it may I ask? 5 weeks from flip? These plants have, from the looks of it, at least another 6 weeks to go, target a mid flower feed, medium nitrogen and high P & K. Later we will taper the nitrogen and P. Also what light is that, it could be part of the underdevelopment issue.
I want to be around 1000 - 1100 PPM at 0.5 conversion (EC of 2.0 - 2.2) during flower until the last few weeks when I am switching to a ripening feed, low N, medium P, high K.
Let me send some updated pictures out of light. Because this is my first time. I went with well bag seeds next round I do have some auto flowering. Anyway I have a 450w on 3 plants. (This May be a book so I apologize in advance) I have the carbon filter and duct fan set up. A fan in the upper corner. I was reading that they double or triple in size so I switched 12/12 at around a month from seed. They are at the end of week 4 now and start of week 5 tomorrow. I will send pictures
uggghhh... I hate both of those options. Bag seed begets bag seed and autos are just retards. lol
We light square footage and how many plants fit in that is dependent on plant size. How many square feet are you lighting and with what light? You have a link to the light? some LED manufacturers claim a wattage thats much greater than what it actually draws.
Yes with optimal growing conditions they should at least double and often triple in size after flip. Most of that in the first 3 weeks after flip, then its mostly fattening up buds with a little more elongation of branches. Inadequate lighting often shows up at flip, you can veg fine with moderate amounts of light but when we flip to flower we want more intense light and I suspect there may have been a shortage in this area.
You don’t sound like a prick. Blunt honestly is my liking. I know it’s my first grow and isn’t going to be perfect. I enjoy it and to me that’s all that matters. I would also like to fix mistakes for the next round. It’s all learning in this phase.
You have the right attitude.
Never stop learning, I still learn new stuff all the time.Only attitude to have. Shit I have no idea what I’m doing. But I read a lot and ask input from wonderful people like you which makes all the difference. I have this other little light maybe 60w that’s made for bloom I could add in it. I didn’t originally because I wasn’t sure I would need it. I’ve tried to keep everything at a stable grow. I wasn’t concerned from the start for a big yield. Just that I can get it to grow, bud and smoke it lol but again it’s been a fun journey. And I know this is crucial time so I don’t want to blow what all I have done. Lol but thank you man much appreciatedYou have the right attitude.
It definitely looks like it could have used more light, and longer veg time. I do want to say though that for a first time grow you have done very well, the plant looks much healthier than my first grow did. You haven't toasted it with too much food or heat. So thats a big plus.
What’s your thoughts on cutting some of these fan leafs ?
If you have a fuller / bushier plant I would say yes but I think we are lacking light intensity and this has cause them to be a little lanky and lean. I wouldn't be cutting any leaves off of these with perhaps the exception of those largest fans that are blocking lower branches however it could also be considered to leave those fan leaves and just lollipop the bottom branches off since they probably don't get enough light that far from the light regardless of those fan leaves or not. Kinda a toss up there. I think I would be leaning towards lollipopping on those of if this is the only plant maybe do nothing just leave the scissors alone lol.
That's perfect and a great idea. Thanks for all your help and input. I'll lay off the nitrogen boost up the PK. Try the sticky traps and see if that's even a issue. I'm all about trying and expermenting. Out of the three. I topped one. Which happens to be my favourite plant.
