Gusher Fems and Epsilon 1 autos

[AMP]

Hey guys, i redid the LST and opened up the canopy and she is responding well…was very careful so no broken branches 🥰 Thank you soo much for the advice. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

1 month ~ Cured ~ Epsilon 1 🥰
WEEK 6 ~ Flowering ~ Gusher

got some yellow brown tips on all three but after a “convo” with my ladies, i think it was light stress…( nutes aren’t too strong, ph is always between 6-7) The smell is getting stronger every day.

I love the smell of dank in the morning. Keep on truckin

Thank you 🥰 I’ll probably never do 4autos and3 photos in the same run again but I’m really proud of myself for pulling it off without any casualties lol. Had a few times where i had to diagnose some problems but i was able to correct and carry on. I love growing my own, it’s the best! I’ve learned soo much and i still chuckle when i think how green i was ( pun definitely intended) lol i realize now if i would have studied the plant first instead of how to grow the plant… i would have had a broader understanding of what my role would be. I love learning from mistakes soo i wouldn’t change a thing but i don’t think I’ll call myself a noob anymore. 😊 thanks to my grow guys.

AMP this is funny..."i realize now if i would have studied the plant first instead of how to grow the plant… i would have had a broader understanding of what my role." That sounds like reading instructions...like I said...funny LOL.

That actually sounds like something I should have done.

Hey golf, yeah i realize that sometimes i miss the obvious with my enthusiasm lol

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.

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

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.

 

[AMP]

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.

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

[AMP]

Thank you ☺️

 

[Ckbrew]

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

 

[golfnrl]

Very nice!

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
