Anyone wanna comment on anything? Questions?
So are you just using 5 bottles of nutes for the whole grow? Canna Vega, Flores, Bio Boost, Rhizotonic, and CannaZym.

I'm thinking of going organic my next grow and I'm trying to collect notes. Thanks.

Its new years so its day 35 on the older girls and day 32 on the grapefruit. A couple plants with a little nitrogen def. but Im pumping them with 2x the recommended dosage and they are still def! Upping their nutes even more.

Tried to get some night pics to show the purple, didnt come out as well as I expected. Still good pics.

Can someone explain this to me. Look at the first pic. In the like lower center right of that bud, what is that coming out of the bud. It looks kinda like a male flower but I'm not sure. Any help?

I would say Yes that is a male flower. I have a lot of experience with them now. Pain.

Weird about the N def. They must be hungry!

Plants look great.

I mean I though male flowers came out below the bud site and not like in the bud. I dont have my experience with hermies and males. Should I just chop this fucker?

Well... I've never had them as early as you are getting right now. I think it would be fine to let that plant go another week or so before you get into any problems... BUT I don't see much difference between a plant harvested at 5 weeks and one harvested at 6 weeks... so I think I would chop it.

With my grows it has started to spring up around week 7, so it is a balancing act between letting more appear and harvesting when the plant is mature.

Right now my one plant has had them for about 2 weeks... and I have yet to see a male flower get 'mature' itself and get close to releasing pollen. It's more about not having male flowers all over your harvested bud.

Pretty shitty problem to have. I wish I knew what caused mine... but I have quite a few issues that could have led to it.

Yeah I'm not sure what has caused it. Everything has been pretty stable and good. I got a 8 inch Active air fan and a can filter 66. No smell! Also spent 500 on 5 liters of Bioboost! expensive shit. I'm ganna keep my eye on these potential male flowers. Might have to chop that mofo!

The thing is, I have 3 plants of that phenotype and all 3 have the same male lookin flowers coming out. Coincidence or what?

I don't think coincidense. Must be something in the grow that those particular girls don't like. It's very frustrating to have no idea where a problem came from, sorry I can't offer more.

Damn bro, def. looks like the start of a hermie...One of my widows did that 2 weeks ago, so i chopped her...I used my knife to cut off the banana and found a lil seed inside..very tiny and white..but when i inspected my herb before putting it in jars, i noticed, there is only one or two more spots where the seed was starting to form..But i also thought my other one was, but it was actually two white hairs stuck together coming out at the same time...hope this helps...

Nah I still haven't figured it out. I've been clipping the bananas off but some had looked to be already open, but I see no seed pods forming on any of my plants. Beats me. I know that my those GDP are turing PURPLE!!!!!!!!! even the fan leaves are turning purple, so sick. Picked up some Og, White rhino, Rocky Mountain Green Gorilla, Goddess, Milllenium, God Bud, Great White Shark, Super Lemon Haze, and a few other's I forgot. Cant wait to try those out!

Thats not including the TNR(which is mine only cause I've never seen a plant like it), Brainstorm, AK, GDP, Euphoria, and Grapefruit mothers I have lol. I'm so stoked on the Super Lemon Haze, supposably the seeds are on major backorder for months. I got a couple clones of it!

I chopped the tops off 3 Grand Daddy Purps today and took a GDP runt. 51 days. The bottoms weren't as purple and as done as the rest of the plant so they will go for a few more days. I'll post pics in a few minutes.

Seriously how deep are your pockets man, you have splashed some cash on this grow. Just out of interest how much does the electic bill come to.

HAHAHAHA All in all, electricity is about 350-400 a month. I'm thinking about setting up an Ebb and Grow, with smart pots lining the pots. An Ebb n Grow in there full of TNR would just be rediculous. Thats my fav plant for sure. Not as much crystal production as some of the others, but it still has probly 2-3 weeks to go. But def my biggest producer and the buds look so lime green amazing. Looking at over a 1/2 lb per plant. I've got to many strains to pick which one I want in the Ebb and Grow for sure though.
