Week 5 in Flower

[Tika]

Here we are week 5 of flower. As I said in week 4 (geez is this boring or what?) my pistils were starting to change. The plant isolated here is Misty kush which has an 8-10 flower period recommended. Granted I have wired/topped these 8 individual (4 strains) indicas -dispersing energy over many instead of fewer -I will not have huge buds (hopefully alot of little very dank ones).
I haven't experienced pistils changing so soon. Pistils are not my major watch -trichomes are what i pay attention to. The LEDs finished my last grow a week early.
Still WAITING-HELL0000? for my seeds as i make up my mind about which new nutrients to use. (Change = Panic!!)

Thanks for listening AGAIN

I wanna crawl in there... I think karlee's has a spot... I'll take the other half.

Beautiful, clean, just lovely.

I cant see why you want to change things. Looks great to me!

[Tika]

Really???? Serious...I can happily stay here but can't I nourish better?

[Royal Nugs]

Light is the biggest factor, since you have those kickass platinums, I think a nutrient upgrade would be a marginal improvement. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get you away from GH, but that's just me...

I do think there are better nutrients but meat and potatoes is still meat and potatoes. How it's dressed up doesn't change it that much.

Since you're so dialed in, nutrients seems to be the only thing I can see you improving. I just think you may need to temper your expectations.

Take a look at Nectar for the Gods if you haven't already, they're organic, so not sure if you're cool with that. I hear good things and I appreciate their approach. I know I've already suggested a few different ones, but I forgot about those guys

Ya know Green this change to LED and larger tent( I do not regret at all) along with fear of burning my plants ( training indicas ..Tika get a clue.)..has brought me to this point of arrival co-incident with joining forum. And then more information re nutrients, sellers saying no way to over water/ feed coco ( disagreeing for the time) making me think I under feed...etcetc. Meeting you and this fabulous crew of great people I am propelled to change and was thinking of it anyway after Miricle Grow bought GH a while ago. I am inspired by you and seasoned growers AS WELL as newbies having a place to go and ask questions.
I am the one blessed by so many chasing my tail with a pointy thing to improve
i am the Larson cartoon: my head is full can I go now?
much gratitude

[Tika]

Thank you Green. Hope your evening is a good one

Tika, they're so lovely!! It fills your tent so nicely 😊 I know you're having your doubts, but comin from a perfectionist, they look so wonderful..

[Tika]

[Tika]

😊 thank you no One troubled by my pistils? Appreciate your support and PATIENCE!!

[Green75]

No not at all...mine as well colored early with this light....fantastic looking....I want some of that...

[Wattze]

After going over those pictures, I'm sitting here thinking.. this is all extremely cared for! And I was curious, about how much time do you spend in your tent when you train em? They're very good looking! So I'm assuming a ton of time lol hoping all is well! 😊

I did comment more than necessary as usual

WAYYYY TOO MUCHHH TIME

lights are manual 5:30 am & Pm including opening and closing ports etc.
.4 to 5 checks a day depending on heat humidity and adjusting
the feed is to lift plant out of tent to sink..feed, LST or adjust LST, defoliate, etc in natural light, drain to waste in large saucer until done, return to tent in cleaned
smaller saucer . This is 5 gal smart pots times 8 plants at least twice a week. Process IF i premix Nutrients day before (16 gals) takes 2 - 3 hours each time.
no, I am not efficient.
I love veg since thelight is 24/7 ... not an issue but I walk the 8 5 gal pots farther to sink. It is the wet back to place that is trying.
however my arms are buff ? :-z
more than you wanted to hear I am sure Wattze.
all is well...also have to climb stairs to get to my Grow...growing keeps us healthy.

It's no hill for a climber...
