Gusher Fems and Epsilon 1 autos

[AMP]

7 weeks into flowering.
They are getting fat, slowly… I’m used to auto speed, i think. I rotate them with every water, which is every 2-4 days .
I use advanced nutrients every other watering but don’t allow for much runoff. I don’t plan to use anymore nutes for the last 1-2 weeks…
..your thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated…
should i still offer “ bloom” nutes? My feelings are there is enough in the soil to make it happy. Can it never get enough flowering nutes?
My 3rd Grow is about to be in the books. I’ve learned soo much and am looking forward to learning everything 🥰
Now it’s time to decide what strain to grow next.

Some call giving plain water only for the last week or so, flushing. As in flushing all of the unused nutrients out of the plant. The theory being a smoother smoke. IDK if that actually matters or not because the dry and cure have the most dominant role in how the weed smokes. Autopot (my grow system) began to recommend a week period at the end where plain water is run through the system. I am going to try it and see if I notice a difference. My problem is trying to determine what exactly is the start point for that last week. So, the short answer is its your call IMHO. If you want to suspend the nutrients at the end, go for it. Take notes and do it again if you like the results. Great looking dope BTW.

Good luck on your next grow choice. At some point I gravitated toward Ace Seeds. They check all the boxes for me especially Killer A5 Haze for photos and their Zamaldelica auto. Those two produce some potent tasty weed. I think there is an active thread on the forum for people's favorite strain.

Thanks golf, I’ve read up on “flushing” and there’s not much actual science to go on. There was one notable experiment where they not only found no difference in flushing vs not flushing but people preferred the non flushed bud(blind test) I am more curious if they actually need bloom nutes up to the end or if my soil (which hasnt had run offs , has enough built up. I like your advice though, try it and see but take notes for next grow. thanks on the compliment, they look good to me but i have limited experience to go on.

We must have read the same articles, lol. I grow in coco so the plants only get what I give them. Coco doesn't store nutrients. Soil does store nutrients so your thought about the bloom nutes makes sense to me.

We probably did golf lol i was deep in it my last Grow trying to find the truth and that’s the closest i got.. And it feels right.. makes sense to me. I did half coco half soil last grow and have about 15 gallons of that dirt mixed with new soil and some peat for this grow. I like the idea of coco only but too much watering, once i get an irrigation system I’ll most likely switch to only coco.

They be looking bountiful. Set the cruise control, be patient, and watch the grass grow and fatten up.

Love a nice bounty 🥰 thank you ckbrew … sounds like a plan

Very nice, congratulations 👏

[AMP]

Thank you ☺️

Harvest achieved, nice haul. Put a good dry and cure on them, kick back, and enjoy.

14 oz's almost two weeks cured. Found more seeds and i tried a bud and it's not very potent i Think i fucked then up with too much light. I have a par meter but my lighters are too good😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭i know lesson learned but soo many months soo much care and money for nothing. I'm soo disappointed

[AMP]

Ok golf thanks 🫶🏼

[AMP]

Well golf i smoked a bowl last night (2 weeks cured) and I'm very happy to say YOU WERE RIGHT!! 🥰 I got really high. Another lesson learned, ty teach 🫶🏼

[golfnrl]

Awesome. I'm glad to hear that. I think it will just get better with age.

[Ckbrew]

14oz and the experience you gained is an achievement, good work. While it is still somewhat fresh in mind, go over your grow log, review, leave notes, take notes, then use that info for planning the next grow.

A pix of my indoor grow, first year growing, an afterthought. See anything odd? Bet I learned some lessons with that one.

The white splotches and turned down leaf tips?

[AMP]

Thanks CKbrew . I did notice what could have been foxtails along with burnt tips and some curling soo i turned the lights down. Noticed the tips were also on the lower leaves so i assumed nute burn or ph issues so i turned the lights back up. I should have kept them down and asked you guys about the possible foxtails with pictures. Next Grow I'm going to use the lowest level of par they need and maybe turn up the lights gradually .

"The white splotches and turned down leaf tips?"
That is a bad case of WPM. The entire plant had to be tossed. First year indoor, clone from a mother with flowers, re-vegged, and "manifolded", then flipped back to bloom. It was a crash course in difficult cloning and growing, and I accomplished that but lost the plant to inattention and ignorance. I learned about paying attention, what WPM is, and how to plan the season better.

I've had powdery mildew a few times over the years, but I've never seen anything like that before, that's insane 😲
