2nd Grow. Big Mama and her babies.

[crimsonfro911]

so maybe i cut the two lower plants tonight.. oops hahaha. quite early but oh well. i didn't put any effort into those gals and gave them low doses of nutes. now i have more room down bottom and some smoke drying.

put a little bush from the veg closet into the flower room as well. the clone was originally taken like a week into flower so it had a slight reveg goin on so i didn't want to use it for cloning. it should flower out quite nice actually. not sure if i want to top it to stop the stretch or just see how it goes? watcha guys think?

Checking out big mama before the lights went out and noticed her deficiency is getting worse. is she just requiring a shit ton of P and K or is something else the matter here? The affected buds are actually deceptively large underneath the top fans. 2-3g already. the fat lower buds are the only ones showing any signs. the others just look like they've got a bit too much N stored up. that's it. the solution i mixed up yesterday was 15ml floragro, 15ml floramicro, 45ml florabloom. gonna add another 15ml bloom.



i wouldn't doubt if she needed more because she has 56 tops lol. at least only 6 tops are affected so far. one advantage to how i have my gal growing is i can see problems immediately cuz the bottom leaves are on top

i think your over feeding.... slow down my friend and flush...

 

[crimsonfro911]

over on the bloom huh? everything else is cut down from 2 weeks ago.

and i did a one day flush like 3 days ago.

 

[crimsonfro911]

or should i just run a diluted solution for a week or two then flush for the rest and just say fuck the deficiencies this late into flower? lol

 

[truepunk87]

Deficiency shows bottom to top, toxicity is top to bottom id just start her final flush now, that's looking like a few problems, but she's so close to finishing id just give her water till she's done

 

[crimsonfro911]

with that theory it's got to be a deficiency then. i'll just leave the water she's in now till the end of this week and then we'll just go straight water the rest of the way through. she should still swell up nice.

i like this but its not a def, cause its affecting the whole plant equally from what i can see.

 

[truepunk87]

Now it is, but where did it start?

 

[crimsonfro911]

nah it's definitely not affecting the whole plant yet. those 6 tops start at the lowest part of the stem so even though the tops are randomly dying back these are technically the lowest tops. but anyways i'm just gonna finish out this week then flush flush flush.

 

[crimsonfro911]

since there's 21 days till expected harvest i just cleaned the res and started to flush. the hairs are starting to recede into the calyxes

i just started a colloidal silver regimen on one of the 6 new clones that i put in last week. hopin for some balls so i can possibly keep these gals in seed. i've heard it works great. anyone have any experience?

couldn't get it to work for me, really it depends on the strain, some herm more easily than others, but the upside about colloidial silver is you will only get female seeds vs. if you improperly use sts or GA. if you check my thread i have some info posted on STS(silver thiosulfate) that could help you and save you some cash.

also dont smoke the shit you get from making fem seed, silver is bad in high levels might turn you blue.

 

[crimsonfro911]

yea fem beans is what i'm looking for. i don't have the space to be sorting males out.'

thanks for the advice. i don't feel like being blue lol.

 

[crimsonfro911]

yummmmmm

when you water these ladies, how well does the water run down the sides? are these containers likeable? i like how compact and tall they are..

 

[crimsonfro911]

they're fantastic. stands straight up all the time and never falls. and the water just runs right out of the overflow. I drilled the holes to 7/16 but the screen inside is what makes it drain so easy. hole doesn't get stuck.

 

[crimsonfro911]

so she definitely had a deficiency. now that she's flushing it's gotten worse and now is on the tips of a lot of leaves lol. do you guys cut off stuff like that or just let it dry and fall off by itself?

 

[truepunk87]

When there all used up you can just touch them and they fall off...... I'll shake the fuck outta my plants and the dead ones fall off

 

[crimsonfro911]

ha. hard to shake mine lol. not much leverage on the stems. but i cannnn shake the lid. the roots are heavy as hell though ha.

you can find them in grocery stores. juices and teas provide great buckets! my brand was tropicana i believe? everything is foiled up nowadays.
