Grow 2.0 kicks off!

I think they look good. In my experience, Strawberry Cheesecake is always vigorous.

Thanks man!

Day 17

All three are transplanted to their final pot. I didn't have smaller pot. I dug a circle around it and will be watering slowly. All seems ok!

Day 30.

One of the Cream Cookies appears to have mutilated. It isnt growing leaves on the one side. May be they are stressed! I made one calculation wrong. I should have grown 6 plants in 3 Gal or 1 Gal for that matter instead of 3 in 5 Gal. I thought they'd be bushy like the previous photoperiod.

What would you suggest? Transplanting them into smaller pot and add more plants or let this one just be? Mind you I only get one season to grow in my climate. Ideas?

 

[ChadWestport]

I would let it be. Once there is an established root system, it would be detrimental to down size the pot, IMO. You can take advantage of the larger pots by doing a longer veg time or some creative training by tying the branches down to the sides of the buckets. You will be able to create a fuller canopy, something that would be equal to as if you let 6 plants naturally form in your tent. You have time and things are looking good, options are there

Hey all! Hope you are all doing well. I have been shitload busy with things. This COVID has hit so many sectors.

I have some bad news on my plants. The two Cream Cookies have appeared to be stressed. They have been in good temps. I had double and triple checked the pH and pH pen. At first I thought this was nutrient burn. I lay off the feeding and flushed it with clean water twice but the issue persisted. I also gave less nutrients for the next feedings than I used to. I generally follow Nebula's schedule for coco. Now I am totally out of clue as to why this is happening. My previous grow was in more challenging atmo than this one but it never showed this problem. Any ideas? I am so disappointed. The strawberry cheesecake is on stride and growing great but all are losing leaves. And all have this yellowing and burn and I don't know what to make of it.!!!

 

[ChadWestport]

Could it possibly be a potassium deficiency coupled with a magnesium deficiency? Since calcium locks out potassium, I wouldn't use a cal/mag to try and correct a magnesium issue, I would use epsom salt for that. Looks like you will still have buds to harvest though at the end of it.

 

[herbgrower]

ChadWestport it appears like it but I am also confused as to where did I go wrong? Could this be with nutes being year old? I mean it is a very small possibility as these are just chemicals nothing more but still curious. I will try out the epsom salt. I will have the buds but they wont be much of good quality and quantity from the Cream Cookies. I had a lot of expectations with it. I now only have one seed of that left. About the cheesecake it is going good. I hope this issue doesnt stress it at this point of grow, It should be great and could compensate some of that lost expectation.

Thank for the input.

 

[ChadWestport]

That's a tough question that I have never found a satisfactory answer too. I know at some point, the nutrients fall out of suspension and that can create inaccurate dosing or unintended chemical reactions. When that actually happens and for each of the nutrients, I don't know.

Glad your cheesecake is still going strong. If these weren't autoflower plants, you could always clone them and then you can keep the same plant around indefinitely.

 

[herbgrower]

Yeah man! I am leaning towards photos as they can give me more wiggle room. Let's see.

 

[herbgrower]

Heya!

Hope you are safe and doing well. This is my 12th week from seed. The trichomes are still cloudy and clear at remote places. I think it will take a week after this week to be ready for harvesting. Should I only flush after I decide to harvest it and if yes should I feed it with Late Bloom feed schedule till harvest window?

Thank yall

Once I get the feeling I am a couple weeks from harvest, I begin my flush. I use soil, so that takes a little longer to flush compared to coco. Typically when I start to see some amber trichomes on the sugar leaves, I know that harvest will be right around the corner, so that is usually when I start. It will vary by strain, but experience growing the same plant over and over will allow you to predict the right time as to when to flush.

 

[herbgrower]

ChadWestport I am at harvest window. Starting the flush from tomorrow. Here are some bud pics also attached close up shot of a prominent cola for trichomes.

[ChadWestport]

bud porn oh yeah buddy!

 

[herbgrower]

Here comes the harvest! This was my first auto grow. Despite some issues it seems to be worked out just about fine. The drying has been started. I will upload shots from final buds and weight as well. Thanks for everyone who helped and big thanks to GWE. I would'nt have dared and now I am a grower to the least!

Grow 3.0 coming soon.(^_^)
