Huh, I didn't realize CO2 is not recommended in the final weeks. That's tough to do with perpetual lol.

I'vt just got that exhale bag hanging out in there ha. Put it in...Take it out lol.
Don't even think I'll bother to touch it tho...Lots of vary opinions because different strokes work for different folks!
We just gotta keep experimenting bro. My next round will be a mainlined super cropped bunch for sure.

So the yellowing that I've experienced this passed week, after experiencing NONE all thru out the grow has had me thinking.
I've already did what I can to treat the soil, so we'll just have to see how things go for the next week or so.
As of now things are no longer perfect like I would have liked them to remain thruout, but not too shabby still. The White Widow has several necrotic spots and is the plant I'm referring to in general, as the Blue Widow and Auto Bub don't have them. They've just yellowed a little early.
But basically an S tox brings on early senescence which I'm currently experiencing. I'd say I'm a good week ahead of things in the regard, by the looks of last weeks damage. Now to continue damage control. I'll be going water only this whole week.
But I was using way more molasses than I needed to be, and although the molasses is unsulphured, it still contains sulphur ironically.
I went from 1tbsp/gal to 2tbsp/gal without a prob. Went I ramped it up to 3tbsp/gal things changed.
The only thing different that I'd done last week from all other weeks is ram up that molasses, and like I said I smelled the sweetness on the AACT, and chose do ignore it. Don't be that noob.
And the "Unsulphured" part of the name comes from the way it's processed thru boiling, but really, there's sulphur in molasses.

Got em both potted up in their new homes boss!
Also pulled a good deal of yellowing/dying older fan leaves of of my White Widow and Blue Widow. Not so much fomr the Auto Bub, but I did pull some off. And I can also see the calyx's beginning to swell and the buds take-on that actual bud look! Touch a couple that were nice and dense!
As far as the yellowing of the leaves, I pulled the ones off that came off easily when I go pressed down near the base of the stem.
Things are still looking good man...Just not perfect anymore....I'm a perfectionist so it'll take some time to get used to the fact...
This last week brought advanced necrosis and earlier yellowing w/ the application of excess molasses
Hey we live and we learn right?!

Also....Upon contemplation I came to the following conclusion...
Say I am experiencing an S toxicity, the best thing for me to do would not be to flush my soil or try to rinse anything out by going water only.
The best thing for me to do would be to try and restore the order of my soil.Add more bennies to it so that they can process this excess(if there is one).
I wish I would have come to this conclussion prior to the last watering but oh well....
SO....What do I do? I brewed another AACT. Just a bit of a different recipe as I'm banking on this one being a "fixer upper".
Still with the 1gal of water and the 10gal fish tank pump, my "fixer upper" AACT recipe is as follows:
-1gallon H20(chlorine removed)
-4tablespoons of my new amended soil mix(will brew bennies for sure)
-1tablespoon of EWC(brew N fixing bacteria)
-1teaspoon of Neptunes Harvest Liquid Fish(for the water soluble N mainly, but also helps bennie count bacteria and fungi wise)
-1/2teaspoon of "UnSulfphured Molasses"(food for the multiplying bennies but not much in the way of its nutritional value)
In theory, 24 hours from now I will have brewed a HEARD of benefical microbes of which I will pour over my soil so that can go to work.
And My smaller plants that I transplanted to the smart pots should help me close the door for sure on whether or not if a flush is needed with organics. I say so because I've transplanted them both into a nutrient rich soil, so if they yellow normally towards the end of the flowering process, I feel like it'll prove that there are no excess nutes to even flush because they plants do indeed take what they need to flourish, and only that.
If they stay green all the way thru I feel like it'll prove that the plants use every use the nutes available in the soil until the very end proving a flush is necessary.

I agree, it seems there is much more vigorous growth in the rizosphere during veg, but the first three weeks of flower it definitely continues continue to expand. Given S420 is using AACT hopefully it will serve him well throughout flower to keep the root zone expanding. A DWC thread might help to give some more info on this as people love to show off root prOn!
I like it alot detective! I actually have a couple plants doing the exact same thing. I also brew AACT and I definitely increase the frequency of my tea application as well as the concentration of the molasses thinking it would speed up the multiplication of the herd. I need to get some more info on my molasses! I score it from the natural food store in bulk, WAY cheaper than supermarket shelves. Thanks for the hard work, this may end up helping me as well.Also....Upon contemplation I came to the following conclusion...

No prob champ! Appreciate ya looking out tho.
And def. gotta be easy with the molasses...There's conflicting info out there regarding how to use it. I'll snap some pics asap but the ONLY thing I did different to give me any issues was upping the molasses...I never had a problem until I went 3tbsp/gal. I wsa using 1tbsp per gal without a prob.
But yeah bro..There's no such thing as giving too many AACTs to your soil. you can use them for every watering if you please...Just gotta be careful with as how you mix it. I thought because it's "unsulphured" there was no Sulphur but fuck if that ain't wrong hahah.
I don't make the same mistake twice tho haha so we won't have to worry about this one again. I'm in the home strech homie! The final month before I should be pulling at least 6 zips between my "big 3" haha and hopefully I'll pull another 4-5 from my 5 smaller plants that got 1w veg. They should be finishing up sometime mid April I'd say. And DAMN it's smelling good in there...
The odor is DEF. noticable now. It came out in force today around 9:55am as my lights come on at 10:00am. The smell is def. the strongest right after I turn the lights off and right before I turn them on.
Smells good tho man! Like a mix of funk & fruit!
And DAMN i forgot to snap a pic but I didn't disturb my root masses at all in transplanting...That's why I recommend 1gal grow bags bro. You can simply roll them down and take them off. None of that tipping over and nudging the root ball outta the containter...Just a smoke transplant....I'm thinking hard about going ahead and transplanting my other small three to grow bags.... Not sure if I'm gonna do it or not yet tho, but maybe I will after a joint and contemplation haha who knows>! All kinda shit comes to my higher mind

MAN if you could smell my fingers after I touch my Blue Widow. It's WREAKS of blueberries. It's UNREAL.
My girl just said, "Wow, I've never smelled bud like that before" haha!
It's CRAZY.

That's cool!
I've never grown anything fancy with flavors, so I been wondering how much they really smell.
I know they have the flavor, but was wondering just how strong the growing odor was.

I HIGHLY recommend it bro! Dinafem Blue White. It's Blueberry x White Widow and it's an F1 hybrid which means its cut from OG cloth.
It's amazing how it smells man and how frosty and sticky it is. Blowing my others away in that category.
I lived in Holland for over a year and didn't smell anything like it man

Yes sir. My girls got a camera that we haven't been able to use because she lost the cord to charge it, but we got a new one on the way now that should be here today or tomorrow.
With that said the new pics should be in HD. I'm trying to hold out for it as the iPad takes just "Ok" pics..
And yeahh my White Widow is sexy in her own right for sure! I ODed her on Molasses and she's showing it in the leaves.
The buds smell just loud man. Like some dank ass skunk ass LOUD ass bud haha. Can't wait to sample it.
I've got 4 of them running atm so it'll be nice to see if I can notice the difference in each phenom

I went to one the other day, looking for some large containers to do outdoor next time, and they had a couple big totes of misc. cords and chargers.
