The Be'cuzz Blossom Builder is a high concentrate liquid = 1-2 ml per gallon...

No problem dude!
So once at wk 6 hm? Well I'll definitely try and get some a bit expensive but I'll go small at first try it out. Unfortunately tomorrow marks the end of wk 6 least I'm quite certain flower started the 18th of Feb... Also about to mix nutes to water just before I think they'll begin to droop as I stuck my finger in the soil and up to the first knuckle is dry

I'm on my first set now, found a kit on amazon for $42 with shipping. I bought some drip clean (because i am using nutes in my reservoir) and a 7 gallon reservoir for my two plant grow. Was really easy to set-up and haven't had any problems yet.
Hey that's not too bad, feel free to leave me a link to that deal you got hahaha I'd be using nutes in the reservoir also So I'll definitely jot it all down save it on my comp for future plans. I plan on having about 8 decent sized plants going at a time through flowering god only knows if I'll be able to handle it but I'm going for it lmao.

Sounds like the right time to me! Your plant will actually go like a week or two longer then the breeder report says.
I never count days, I simply look at the plants/buds!

The following are of the four smaller SLH and the Big Momma SLH I'm pretty damn sick (irrelevant I know) but I had to water today I can tell they were just about to get droopy. so in doing so I'm still awake and I just took pics with the last of my camera's battery life. So... without further ado... there will be quite a few I try to be as thorough as I can.

That's what they say on greenhouseseeds.nl course I have a handheld scope 60-100x and a 30x loupe lol and I will be looking at them the closer I get course I find it extremely hard to use the hand scope lol.

FLOWERING INDOOR


10 weeks, with a production up to 800 gr/m2.

Medium-tall plant, long and wide branches, ideal for ScrOG or LST.

@Caanan18 - just search on amazon for tropf blumat kit and it should be about $36 before shipping right now. (I can't remember if it's a 5 or 6 carrot kit).

Another thing you might want to search for is a usb microscope, there are some alright ones for under $25. I used one last time and threw away my little handheld 60x microscope. All you do it cut a small part of a leaf off near the top of one of your major buds and look at it under there with your computer.

Once you have harvested a few times, you would be able to tell when they are ripe without a scope, like Dr. Who was getting at.

Hope you get feeling better, but unfortunately your plants won't care :(

Man there's always something to buy when taking care of our beautiful ladies huh? funnily enough as long as I can afford it, makes me happy to buy stuff for em lol. I'll take a look at em at the very least save em for later. The usb might come a bit sooner then later that's for sure. Although I won't lie when I say I have some reservations in cutting a top sugar leaf off even if just partially.... lol. One day I'll be as experienced as le Dr. Who but it'll be a while lol.

I know they won't care they'll expect of me even when I'm lying next to them dying trying to muster up the strength to lift the gallon of water to feed them lmao! But thanks I do too, working today and yesterday was utter hell. But I just looked at the girls and I feel happy so meh lol.

you can save the sugar leaf and frame it, if it makes you feel better :P It's much easier to see the trichomes on a nice unshaky surface, then you can see the clear, the milky, and the at least 3 different types of amber.

I know it's silly but I'd feel so bad to slow down or hurt that top bud lmao I mean I'll still do it but it's gonna cut me as much as I cut her :o. Last night I took a look and from what I can barely gather from some ten seconds altogether of actual still moments of seeing them I saw majority cloudy didn't really see clear but I'm not 100% certain lol. I'll cut the leaf later when it's closer to done why waste ya know? Also I'll try to post the pics if I can get any solid pics using the microscope :P

lol, cut it from your smallest "top"

not even a whole leaf, just a little piece that will be easy to put under scope on table
Well I sucked it up and cut a piece of leaf said screw it only got a couple pics before my cam died lol.

Best I could do in the time I had haha. was kinda curious whilst looking through the scope myself I noticed a few clears but also those yelowish amber lookin ones but not too much cloudy. I was just surprised to find quite a chunk of amber so early is that normal?

I think it might have more to do with your watering schedule than nutrient deficiencies. If youre going over a week in between waterings in the middle of bloom then something is off. If they are holding that much water to last that long then the root zone could be getting stagnant and oxygen depleted which could be damaging the leaves.

Also you mentioned them drooping towards the end sometimes before watering which is also best to avoid,it happens sometimes but drying out too much or too frequently can prevent the leaves from rebounding after getting watered again, leading to the yellowing and curling up/dying. 25% humidity is low too, if you could get that up some that would be good for next time.
What do you suggest for flowering then? I agree 25% is a bit low but under 40% is what I have heard.

When using gh flora series a 1:2 ratio of micro/bloom provides a solid NPK ratio that can be used as a base all the way through.

could be lighting, etc. There are actually different stages of amber, i wish i knew where the post was that describes the 3 different kinds of ambers...
anyways,
here's a pic i took that shows 3 different kinds of amber.

Well the main lighting of that would just be the lil LED on the scope itself. I see what you mean on that pic he's got a lil bit of everything on that lol.

Are you saying that you don't use Gro at all? I've heard you can actually use 2 of the 3 for the entire grow but I haven't learned how to do so atm lol. Plus as inexperienced as I am I'd rather not risk it less I was coached haha.

Looks like a Cal-Mag problem? ? I could be wrong but it looks like it.
I doubt it only cause I've been giving her a smidge over 6ml's/gal Cal/Mag

Thats correct you dont need grow at all...the basic formula is 8ml micro/16ml bloom in a gallon of water,this makes a 1.2 ec soultion.Now you can make lower concentrations,just lower the dose but keep the ratio the same 8/16,4/8,2/4,1/2 etc...1:2 ratio of micro/bloom.This is the simplest way to use the flora series and one of the most effective.I wouldnt use cal/mag either,thats going to fuck with your ratios too much.ill add .5 to 1 gram epsom salts per gallon if needed,thats it besides the 1:2 ratio of micro/bloom

Hmmmmm I remember hearing a youtuber make a similar claim only needing micro/bloom. How would the plant get sufficient Cal/Mag? As I hear GH flora trio is weak in it? Also again being a noob I've only used Cal/Mag never epsom salts I've casually skimmed some but dunno what's ok to use in horticulture lol.
