Fasbuds girl Scout Cookies (auto)

[BlueBudz]

I did some tucking and a lil bending so they look trampled lol

 

[BlueBudz]

So here is the crash test dummy, I think I started flushing too early.😣 Trichs are still mostly clear and a week into flush

 

[BlueBudz]

Starting to get a bit of purple in the buds

 

[Mr.furley]

Give that puppy some food and remember patience is your friend. If it has only been a week! feed it once and prolong your flush till cloudy/amber. No problem.

 

[BlueBudz]

Thanks MrF. Problem is I just watered last night...ph was low so I ran a bit extra plain water through and today she’s not looking happy

 

[BlueBudz]

well I chopped the crash test dummy last night. It had only about 7 weeks of flower😞
i mad a mistake by starting to flush too early, by the time I realized it was too early I gave more nutes but the plant went totally yellow and I got scared it would die and ruin the buds. Any way with all the problems I had throughout this bagseed plants grow (all the rest were killed to to nanners) it’s the only one left and I wanted something to show for my efforts. If I get even an ounce from this lil girl I’ll be happy. She was only about 14” tall, What do you guys think?

You will be lucky to get an oz, unless they are very dense, hard.
But dammit ,look at all trouble you had, that has got to suck badly, but at least, you want have those anymore, you know what to use now. GoodLuck with your future grows.

Ya I know DAAS, I’m trying to make the best of a shit situation. I have the 2 girl Scout cookies, a Critical and a royal Gorilla left in pots, after that I’m going all hydro so managing ph should be much easier than trying not to over water a small plant in a 5gal and keeping track of runoff ph. I have spots on all my plants leaves I blame on incorrect ph. My temps are at the lowest end of the scale so watering is infrequent leaving a long time before I can adjust ph between watering ugh. This shit is harder then I thought lol

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

I'm sure I'll hear backlash, but your going from easy as possible, to hard as possible, but you might be good at it, but I can promise you I didn't like that way worth a shit, a million things can go wrong,
GoodLuck

 

[BlueBudz]

Well you have to remember that so many of us have totally opposite conditions to deal with. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and the soilless just seems to always be a guess. I like for sure answers. Checking runoff is really hard for me, the first bit @4ph then changes to 6 by the time the runoff stops then next time I check it’s back at 4. The way I see it is I can check ph easily twice a day and adjust if needed in hydro. Rather then waiting 4-8 days for the pots to get lighter and find out it’s been wrong for days and hurting the plant. But please tell me everything you think about it because I have not done it before and I’m just trying to find what works for me.

 

[BlueBudz]

All the guides and tutorials I have read are great but they don’t offer a lot of useable in site as to how to manage the garden at a daily level. What do u do with a plant you measured @4 run lots of water through at 6 till runoff is 6 then you have to wait so long to recheck.... there is nothing buffering the ph so in time I guess I would learn(for example water at 8ph so by the next time runoff is at 6 but it seems to very hard for me to get a hang of

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Like i said, you might be good at it, but way to much thinking for me,
I water -feed mine ever day , I don't kick the pots, I feed-water 10-12 ozs, sometimes, 2-3 times a day, is the only work I do, I don't check run-off no more, it's always right when I check it after I been using the good stuff, but you might love hydro, but I'm just telling you, it DoesNot, get anymore trouble free than using coco ,an the stuff, I'm not even sure hydro is any faster, I would have to see it to believe it, cause feeding in coco ever day is fast growing to.

 

[BlueBudz]

I hear ya brother, unfortunately that’s not the case for me. I tried to just water with good ph water in and not bother with runoff but always the leaves that are 3 weeks or older start to get cal mag deficiency (I think that what it is) I use a cal mag additive but no change so I blame ph. Just kind of at my wits end with it.

 

[BlueBudz]

Here are the girl Scout cookies looking like shit! Now I am using tap water that gets left out for a couple days before I use it. Maybe there is something in the water I don’t know. I just think hydro would be much easier to know what they are getting. If I watered every day I may be ok but shit I am out of the house for a min of 12h for work so I’d rather not do that. And you can’t leave them for a few days if they expect water everyday. Ahhhh just going crazy with this shit.

 

[BlueBudz]

That’s the Gorilla on left and critical on right. The older leaves are starting to go all shitty too!

 

[Locrian99]

I want to grow in coco, watering 2-3x a day?!?! Between the job, the wife, the kid I don’t think I’d have time to sleep

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

That's the good thing about it, I damn sure ain't on no schedule, water-feed whenever I want. I just don't let it go dry.
You might love hydro, might want to get you a generator, just in case, your power goes out.
But anyway, good luck in hydro, you might be excellent at that.
Later-PEACE

Bluebudz I feel your pain. I was chasing ph or deficiencies with poor soil, I tried coco, my schedule of work and family made it too difficult. I have switched to kindsoil with roots organic. I dont water to runoff, just ph some tap water. No more issues, and just a few minutes to water every couple of days.

 

[Californiakid]

I didn't try hydro because I have to deal with high temps in the summer.

 

[BlueBudz]

Ya Kid it’s a pain in the ass. I’d rather not use soil at all, I don’t want the bugs and mess that comes with it. I made my hydro setup for cheap so if it doesn’t work out it’s not much lost.
