Took me a minute to figure out those were codes for Fox Farms' Ocean Forest soil and their "trio" of base nutrients (Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom).

Hope all is well in your world.

Is this grow still alive?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.

The grow was going very well until I came home to one plant happy as can be and the other wilted and looking sick.

I watered it with half nutes at a half gallon watering every 3 days. Humidity and lighting are all well. The temperature was at 84F......and I totally freaked out. I opened it all up yesterday about 5pm, cooled it off, and it is at 74 right now. The branches have lifted but it still looks a bit extreme to me. I would be devastated if I lose it.

The only other thing that is different is that I added some extra dirt on top, like an inch, at the last watering 2 days ago.

If there is ANYTHING I can do to bring her back just tell me. I am trying to be patient and I understand that is all she needs but ANY help is appreciated!

The second pic is the happy one. Up until yesterday they both looked the same

Thank you for checking. I could use little help if possible

Get some pics in natural light, peeps don't like the purple and it's impossible to see leaf color. Is the pot dry before you water it? It Looks like over watering, not all seeds are created equally and one may call for more food than the other. Let it dry out properly before watering again.

Color looks good. she is either under or over watered by the looks.

 

[trameltanz]

Underwatered is what it was.

I am very surprised because I thought it was the opposite; it's the night of the second day and they dont begin to look like that unless I miss a day or two. The moisture probe didn't move when I stuck it in the soil.

Man I feel like a turd.......

The attached pic is after watering with plain water....after 15 minutes. She would be seriously injured if I waited another night.

This forum rescued my grow! Thank you for your time, experience, and dedication!

It is probably a little late to start but I performed a little branch trimming and LST the past couple waterings.

I am getting more confident and probably go for growing more plants at once the next cycle.

One of these plants is northern lights. The other I dont know because I dropped the case that held the different seeds and they got mixed up.

They have been in veg about 6 weeks. I will flip them soon. I would like to let them Bush out a bit more.

I'll also clip out the lower branches that are not producing at the flip

 

[trameltanz]

The girls are at about 6 weeks in veg.

1. I would like to flip this weekend. Should I let them veg another week or two?

2. Going to start adding a teaspoon of molasses to their water about a week before the flip.

Is there any input or wordZ of wisdom with this plan?!

She is one bushy girl, keep up the awesome work!

This is 5 days into 12/12 lighting.

Heyyyyyy! You're girly parts are showing! Cover yourself!!!! Naughty GirlZ lookin all kinds of sexy!!

 

[trameltanz]

I am into the third week of mixing in 1tbs of organic unsylphur backstrap molasses. That stuff is RICH and I would be lying if I said I am not excited about tasting a difference....

One plant has a 600w LED over it and the other has a 1200watt LED.

I just flipped the lights to Bloom too. Wont turn off veg for a couple weeks.

 

[trameltanz]

The girls have stretched since I put them on the flip....every day I check them and they are a little taller than before!

I am giving them nutrients at half strength with adding 1TB of molasses to their water and watering every 2-3 days.

Healthy girls make awesome bud! How do they look?! Any words of wiZdom?

 

[trameltanz]

The one plant that took off way before the other has some changes to its buds.

It looks like they are maturing and could be ready to harvest soon. The pistols (I hope ingot that right) are turning orange instead of white. It is in its 5th week of bloom. Should I harvest after another week?

One plant stumpy and the other is like a foot taller. The first pic is the one turning colors.

 

[trameltanz]

I am trying to get an idea of when the best time to harvest would be.

The stumpy plant has more orange in the buds
I didn't do any topping or fimmind so I thought it would be good to cut the top cola and let the rest of the lower branches mature. They sure seem capable. Is this a doable thing and het some more harvest results?

 

[trameltanz]

It's interesting that a moderator would disable my thread if I dont respond. What expectations or steps should I have if no one responds to me?

This is my last attempt for a sense of direction.

Here are a few pictures of the cola in question. Her pistols are turning more orange and there are more of them. I would prefer not to wait too long before harvest. I know no one can give an exact amount of time to wait so a few words of wisdom would be helpful.

I would also like to know if harvesting just the ripe cola then lowering the light to expose the other budding sites to flower would be beneficial. Maybe the plant(s) dont work like that? Any input would be helpful.

Thank you in advance!

Hey trameltanz, I would wait on the harvest date, looking back looks like you flipped them about Jan23 I would say you have a few more weeks for sure. Do you have a way to look at trichs under any magnification?

I have seen some people piece out their harvest like that and doesn't seem to harm the plant.

I your having trouble getting a response here, I would hop on someone who's journal is really active and ask a question there or redirect them to here if that's easier.

Don't get discouraged!
