I’m loving your hessian pots.

In fact I’m pretty much well loving everything about how organised your grow is.

About what age do you tend to flip. I get super confused when trying to work out the best time to flip and harvest. I think I have been leaving it too long tbh.

Hello T ;)
Since I want to keep it fairly small, and since I just fed it another round of veg, I will likely flip in 2 weeks. It will be the right timing for a new dose of nutes and I’ll just slide right into bloom after that by shaving an hour off my time every day until I’m at 12/12. So in total it would be about 18-19 days from now.
Probably quite a bit earlier than a lot of others involved in this grow, but we are gonna come in all sizes...

Thank you, BTW. I definitely have an organized system now, though maybe not quite a well oiled machine at all times.
Seems to turn out some bangers most of the time:ganjamon:


I love variety and @Weed Seeds Express is making sure I have some really interesting things to grow for you guys in the future!

It’s going to be a great summer, @Trala

It really is. Feels weird not to add anything to the water!
I will say that my water jugs thank me, as they no longer get that rotten MC water smell after 2-3 days full of nutes.
I’m not sure even a pill would be easier lol

Anyway, Day 34

easy peasy, and she’s loving it in here. Though the growth has been slightly slower than typical (for me) I’ve noticed that not a single leaf has just randomly died or got spots or done anything weird. Just nice lush growth with minimal watering.

Very nice looking....:yummy:

Looks like one those "suprise kush" ....you know, those compact slow growers you have to ponytail.......than :thedoubletake: where in #ell did this monster come from!

Hello Juzzy ;)

I think I’m going to keep my next grow smaller. I seem to think they have to be big to flower. When I think back to my first grow in this forum last May I flowered 3 in my tent. Now I can barely fit one in.

You‘re welcome. Neatness and Order gives me life.

I am determined to turn out a controlled banger at some point. In fact I think the clones your dad guided me with are going to be the ducks nuts and maybe my first real bangers.

I look forward to watching and maybe learning a bit on the way.

It‘s also going to be a great winter @Justin Goody :) :) :)

It’s a great life every day I wake up ;)

Yes I was a firm believer that bigger was necessary, but my last GSC (auto) was tiny at this age and turned out 10oz.
I’m kind of treating this like an auto, which is what I did to my last photo plant (ChemDawg) and it was my second biggest plant last year, and one of the tastiest ;)
Stop by if you ever have questions, there is always a way to solve it with guys like @Carcass and @MrSauga and @InTheShed lurking around.

Thank you.

I have 3 special seeds, so I’ll defs be looking for advice when I plant them.

I am not in any way yield driven. Beautiful healthy plants are what make my heart sing. Your 3 wise men definitely grow the most beautiful plants I have ever seen in my whole life.
 
Justin Goody said:
I do like all of their products. But I’m careful using Potassium supplements because too much will fry the plant.
If this run goes well, I will probably (slowly) introduce terpinator into the next run.
I use it with other nutrients with no problems, as long as it’s a proper dose.

No hydro store carries geoflora , they always go do u mean floraflex. NO! Roots organic has something similar but has supplements as well, and do to covid geoflora isn't doin their sample program. But I have thr roots organic grow can be used as a tea as well just testing. I really like xtreme gardens anzo and myco so they have a 2 part tea I'm testing too I'm new to soil. Coming from hydro only I seem to over complicated things and waiting waiting expect immediate results lol. Hydro results in little as 1-2 hrs not 1-2 weeks. Lol only chose to go with soil for my stock genos(moms or soon to be) seems everyone is happy only they have surpassed their 4 weeks in FFOF and where transplanted to larger fabric instead of the 1gal plastic they were in. So now it'd feeding time and pretty much all my nutes are tended for hydro, some any medium. And deficiencies show up differently and alot slower then hydro.
Maybe u could help me with this I have a geno that is more calmag hungry then the others. Even tho botanicare says all mediums. Didn't seem to be available for the plant so I tried recharge which seemed to work. Bit expensive and don't wanna keep giving them that . What's a quick way or should I say more viable option for soil when having calmag deficiencies? GH organics CaMa+ ? I tend on using " mother plant " 2 part complete line for moms. Anyone had experience with this.

I don't have any experience with that line, but someone here may.
I would go with a CalMag that is lowest in nitrogen that you can find (I use GH 1-0-0) and make sure that's actually what your plant needs.
@Emilya has more experience with Recharge, and might be someone to ask about your issue.
 
She agreed it was calmag, and general hydros organic CaMa is 1-0-0. Ill have to ask her about recharge. It's Microbes. Xtreme gardening I had never used is at every hydro store and I was told to use for my transplant. Because I was skipping uppotting. From rockwool clone to 3gal fabric final shits amazing before end of week 2 had roots busting out of a 3gal when just days prior were in 2x2 nurserys. But their tea is 2 parts pretty simple take 3-5 gal filtered water drop the prepackaged nylon tea bag, 2ns open a packet of of microbes put in brew 48 hrs tells u 1 cup 1 gal 1.5 2gal pot 2-3 cups 3gal pot and water after then it can be diluted as well I think 1:10 of the original 3-5 gal of water my numbers maybe off a bit. Then u can take the small 80g tea bag open it and topdress 1-2 pots with it.
 
TPS makes a 0-0-0 cal-mag, or you can make a calcium supplement with eggshells (takes a couple of weeks though) and add epsom salts for magnesium.

Egg shell mix is missing an element that aids in uptake but can be fixed with Left handed NOT right handed amino acids. Testing labs say that calcium is the one element that they are coming across that we are not using or getting our plants to uptake enough of. I used to use botanicares Vitamino no more 45-50 dollars/quart and it doesn't have any of the enzymes a quality amino should 0!!!

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates such a thing.
:nomo:
And best of luck to all growers involved in this grow. I know many of you are receiving seeds this week or have already.

This is my first run with these nutes so I will likely just do the Veg/Bloom this time.
Possibly the last few weeks I could throw in terpinator, but purpinator (not the same) has a bit of P along with the K and I am not sure it’s needed with the GF.
Click to expand...
Guess you would only use the purpinator if u have a strain that purples or one of the phenos. There is another one similar to geo they sell at hydro store simply Veg+bloom. Not cheap when I first seen on YouTube. He's like why do u need 10 bottles when u can use just 1. But they now have additives like 5 jars although one is for hard water another for Ro
InTheShed said:
All from the same company I believe. Doesn't mean you need Terp or Purp with the GF nutes.

Didn't say u needed it. Especially if ur not growing purple cultig_qvars. I used another product supposed to be like a mix of the two but would Jax up ur EC/ppms by .8 or 400 ppm

It may help purple strains but it’s not meant ONLY for them.
It’s a great bloom additive in certain situations, I just don’t want to use it with brand new nutes on first run.

In my other tents, my autos will absolutely get purpinator then terpinator, once the time is right.
It brought purple/blue out in my Zkittlez, but I add it for terps/taste. Can’t taste or get high from color.
 
Nice looking plant u got there :thumb:
And nice to see the little freak still growing

She looks nice and healthy today. I cut a few leaves and tucked a few more to expose the ends of all the branches and give it a fair chance of stretching evenly. A few more days and these branches will finally be long enough to begin training on some.
