So I’m in week six of flower with this plant, I flowered it at about a foot tall, and LST’d it(first attempt) it has flower sites everywhere, but my flowers are only about 3/4 of an inch wide, I did have a booboo where a timer failed, and lights stayed on for 36 hours, so I’m not sure if I should go ahead and feed into week 7, and run until 9 weeks Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I should have mentioned that I believe light is the ultimate factor, I started flower under an LED that takes 320 from the wall, so by the time the fans use their juice I’m lucky to be at 280-290, and I was reading that some strains take longer to flower under LED for some reason, I now have this guy in my main flower tent that’s 4x4 running two 1000w HPS air cooled hoods with intake from outside that pipes back outside, and an intake tube at the bottom of the tent that pulls from outside as well, the exhaust fan runs constantly to move CO2. I just feel like this guy is going to have severely undersized flowers, potency will be good as it’s caked in trichomes, and it’s been taking all the food it can get without burn, so my real question is will it plump under the hps, since moving it in there the mugs have become very dense, like hard as rocks Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
bro I will try to help you but you need to veg longer, and to use the trellis at the appropriate time. For now, keep feeding its thing and (if you haven't) add a little bit of booster. I don't want to be overtly critical and want to help, but like the trellis net, and the scrog, is done wrong. I normally get my plants to ~ the height of 'what the diameter of the scrog canopy' is going to be. I then manipulate/bend/twist (gently) and bend my branches over and then lay the net on top of the sideway-going branches. Here's a snap I use the same type of trellis (sometimes) but have reinforced the sides with a 4' fiberglass driveway marker so that the plant doesn't lift it; it will a bit with this material. Notice in the picture: -that there are four main stalks due to being topped early on. -the bottom of the canopy has been nearly stripped of foliage. This is because it doesn't make it to the canopy. -that the main stalks have been bent at certain spots. I can train better, have less of a direct angle and curve it up, but this is still good. -the is only one plant in the tent since the plant will cover the entire tent. Here is a picture of the top part fyi. I have a couple going on right now, I can send more 'undergrowth' pictures (should take some anyhow and thread it).
I actually have the trellis in there for the other 9 plants, and I’m not using it for a scrog, I have several that I used a Nebula’s manifold on, they’re up through the trellis, I stuck this one in that tent to go under the hps thinking that would provide a much better light source, I fully understand what you’re saying on it, but the only reason I put it in was so I had something to tie branches to if I have to spread them out, and support the branches when they get heavy, I’m just frustrated because I have blue dream x super lemon haze that are in week 3, and have flowers the same size and bigger, I know I should have grown this one up a bit more, I got concerned because it took off in growth, was 6” taller than everything else in my main tent and showed no signs of slowing down, I was trying to keep an even canopy, but I had 2 male plants I had to pull, and 3 that went here on me because my wife is an asshole, so I have several that are behind, but they all came from seed, planted October 29th Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I’m sure you can tell high plants were behind, I had them under a T5 and they just didn’t grow nearly as fast, I should have waited, but I honestly just want this strain gone, the two plants that were crossed we’re hso seed I believe, but the dude that grew them did it on the roof of his house and didn’t do anything but water, didn’t get up there and check on them, so to be perfectly honest, I don’t know if these are from a berm or a cross, I’m assuming a cross because of the males Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I had two plants go full behemoth, had to move the hps in the rear of my tent all the way up, now I'm praying the flowers don't get too close, all the other flowering plants are going fine as far as I'm concerned, like I said, I want this stuff out of my life, I have Girl Scout Cookies, Yoda OG, OG Kush, Grandaddy Purple, and Forbidden Fruit mothers going, the Yoda is almost mature and ready to give clones, I actually have about 15 ready for the next run, there will still be 5 of this strain, the rest will be forbidden fruit, all that to say that this was just the first run, and I should have just let them grow up and top once, I was 2 months in veg for this crap, and all the topping and traing stunted several of them pretty badly, I'm just trying to finish the run, the only plant I'm concerned with is the blue zkittlez, I've been feeding fox farms trio, gravity, bud factor x, and big bud, but yesterday was supposed to be my last feeding before flush, and I'm wondering if I shoud go another week, according to what I've read it's an 8-9 week flower, and I also started counting from flip instead of waiting for the stigma to show up
Also, the rest of the plants have been defoliated from the net down, except the guys that are still a bit small
And the largest plants are one of the blue dream crosses, and a forbidden fruit that had a growth explosion when I potted up, tight shoes, like there was as much root in the pot as there was soil, roots grew out of the bottom into the tray where the runoff collects
idk bro, u talking to the wrong cat as I usually try to stagger my grow (perpetual grow) and just grow one plant at a time (in a sense). I did some pics, but instead decide to show you what my plants look like now. I feel looking after just one of those is work enough! Just one per 4x4 (or 2x4 or 2x2 etc). My veg area can support one plant and clones. You veg time seems good at two months, but yea, expect overcrowding. Many other growers grow more plants but have cut their veg times lower; for me it doesn't matter since I rotate the crop. The plant on the right will be harvested and the one on the left moves to her spot, and the one I have in veg will take its old spot. Expect cropping each 2 months? something like that. I will add more lights eventually, but need to do some rewiring ... I should do that today.
p.s. it is my experience that my wife will want to mimic my activities with her own plants. When I discovered she also shared a similar passion, I built her a light module and she is Loving it. Happy wife, happy life
My wife is doing it to be an ass because I spend 3-4 hours a day checking ph, mixing nutes, training, planting etc, I have a 32x32 for my autos, that’ll be my consistent smoke, as soon as I harvest I’ll clean my tent up, and run the next batch, I’ll have plenty of clones going by then, take clonesto 16-18 inches and run 16, I have a 5x5 too, just not set up yet, I’ll be moving to that for flower and mother and clone in the 4x4 was what I’m thinking, of so I’ll run 20-25 sog Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I actually have an avocado seed germinating in my aerocloner for her, and I'm going to start tomatoes, squash, etc. for our vegetable garden outside, I will also have a pot garden, but that way we have sustainable food, and food for my compost bin
Blue Zkittlez is blue dream according to the guy it came from, his dude got them mixed up, not really all that concerned, it’ll come off the tenth, then I have an auto speed bud coming off the 20th, my main harvest starts around March 5th, and then I have a white widow c big bud coming off March 30th, and a dark devil that should finish about the same time, got clones going now to refill the a couple of days after harvest Blue Dream up close Main tent, lemon haze x blue dream a couple of my plants Hermès so there are several behind the curve Halfway through week 4 and frosty as shit already Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
