First timer and using bubbleponic

[Roseman]

I have had RUNTS all of a sudden take off too. Like the ugly duckling story, turned into a swan.

Sponge Bob lives under the sea,
He grows with tiny bubbles,
just like you and me.

I was wrong, the biggest Chiesel isn't showing any signs of preflower yet, is that normal after 3 weeks? all the rest are looking fine.

Probably means she took on more of the sativa side of the cross in her genetics and will take longer to flower. < Its also probably why she is the tallest. A lot of plants will have different phenotypes some will lean toward the mother some will lean toward the father etc. Here is a very basic diagram of what you get when you cross a plant.

As you can see AA (stable genes) crossed with aa (stable genes) it will give you Aa (F1 plant/seed) but if you breed Aa with another Aa in its genes is AA,Aa,aA,aa so there will be phenotypes some that lean one way and some that lean the other. < Sorry if I didn't make total sense I just smoked a joint and am a bit stoned.

right on. Good briefing on Mendalian Genetics.

 

[en3tyskate]

Yea that made sense. I cant wait to see your plants bud.

Just got back in town. Everything got bigger over the weekend and all are flowering now. The only weird thing is that they barely drank anything all weekend

 

[macinnis]

over the weekend the low temp was 63* and the high was 81*

 

[MostlyCrazy]

Those temps work.

Macinnis here is another big buddha blue cheese grow in bubbleponics that has finished he has a smoke report at the end. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/219866-blue-cheese-bubbleponics-my-first.html

That was good stuff. Not liking how he was saying 12-13 weeks in flower is ideal. We'll see. I'm going to put up new pics tonight. And I bought some sticky hooks to ring the outside of the container for another round of LST

 

[macinnis]

But his seemed to show more Sativa Traits, where mine is showing more Inidica, I think (not as tall, more bushy)

that is NOT good. You need to determine wHY?

 

[MostlyCrazy]

On the dif on the same strain - different pheno inside ever seed. They match up a blueberry and a cheese and you'll get one of at least 4 growth patterns.

Rose is right, not drinking is not good. Have they been drinking a lot up till now. Not drinking usually mean nute lock-up. If that is the case you need to do the 8 step recovery to get them back on track.

 

[macinnis]

They have never really been big drinkers. But again, everything grew alot and continued flowering well. The PH has stayed steady around 5.75 the whole grow (I checked the strips against other stuff to make sure they weren't defective)

 

[macinnis]

They drank about 1-1.5 gallons, or so between friday morning and last night

 

[MostlyCrazy]

That's not too bad. Not great but not bad. As you get further in flower they will drink more. Toward the end of the grow they may be drinking 1 gal or more per day.

 

[macinnis]

It seems as long as everything is progressing well, no big issue. I think one thing may be; the humidity has been usually 65-80% mostly in the 70's (All that rain the last few weeks), so maybe they have been taking moisture in through the leaves?

 

[nickbbad]

When you really start flowering you want that humidity way down like 50 % humidity and under is ideal.

I have 1 of those plastic silica dehumidifier things. What else should I do?

 

[MostlyCrazy]

If you increase the air flow in the room that will usually lower the humidity.
