jamesthegreen, mate take a break, sounds like you need it, i went through some real bad crap when my fiance was killed but i go to the point where i was not caring for my kids properly and i had to take a good look at the bigger picture. it gave me a good kick up the back side, lifes hard, if it was easy we would all live in palaces and have fields and fields of buds, all i can add to that comment james, is you have all ready got the field of buds, so your halfway their my friend,
we will always be here, i dont get back to every journal i check in on, at last count i was following 30 plus journals, so it takes me days to get through them all, a select few i like to keep on top of, but the others end up going by so quick that i have to sit and read 4 or 5 pages, and its not a chore, i do it cuz i enjoy it, it takes me mind of things and keeps me busy, id say you need a short break or even a few day trips, have some time to yourself mate, let the world pass you buy and you just chill and let it, everything will still be their when you want it, you never know what tomorrow brings mate, things can change so quick, just take some time for yourself, its the best thing any of us can do, if we dont we wear ourselves down and burn out, then we are no good to ourselves let alone anyone else, those you care for will suffer if you dont take some time out mate, you will feel a whole lot better, plus we are all here to talk to so dont worry about things mate, it is tough, trust me i know, but theirs a point where you have to pick yourself up, shake the dust off and stick 2 fingers up to the rest of the world,
once you do that mate you will feel like a new man,
i was on top of the watering, but since my plants got bigger it was getting a pain to take them out and put them somewhere where they could be watered properly so i just watered them where they was and obviously got lazy, so im now watering as normal, ill use a 50% nute mix to flush with as they are not to far from finishing now so dont want to cause problems at this stage, the humidity was also high, so i have now got the 2 12v fans running in the top of the grow, and the bigger fan is outside the grow room blowing into the plants so the whole of the plant from the pot to the top is getting a good breeze, so this should solve the problem for now.
thanks GiGa for your comments, i need to get some tubing for my vent so the fan is doing ok for now, ill water when the top 2 or 3 inches are dry, at the moment its still pretty damp so ill give it a few days to dry,
i have found no pm on any of the buds and i have checked all over the plants.
my nl x bb is not northern lights with blueberry mate, its big bud, i have got a auto blueberry just a few inches tall, and i have also got royal bluematic, both of these are autos so trying to get some purple buds,
@Vik, av you got it all sorted now mate, i could ask jandre if you like, he seems about the best to ask, give me a shout and ill find him for you, im sure he wont mind giving his 2 cents worth.
now the flowering times your talking about, now what growers basically do is this, if you use any of these for veg, 18-6 20-4 or 24-0, then the best flower schedule would be 12-12, how ever the last week or 2 you can give it an extra hour of night, this is meant to make the plant think its coming to the end of flower so forces it to produce more trichs, not sure if it increases yield though,
but if you was using the gas lantern routine then most growers use the deminishing light schedule for flower, what this basically does is run as if the sun would, so it increases the night time slowly over the whole flowering period, now this is meant to produce bigger buds, but this is only meant to work after using glr, glr puts the plants into a sort of over drive for veg, then when you go to flower you can continue this with the deminishing light schedule, now i use glr for veg and the results are brilliant, and my plants are late in flower now, i used 12-12 for most of flowering but now i have given it 11-13, so its getting an extra hour of dark, i have noticed the buds filling out more, but this might be the normal way they grow their is no saying its the extra our of dark thats caused this, but im using 11-13 now till finish, it lowers my costs and keeps the temps down, this should stop any pm problems, i hope,
but if you didnt use glr then 12-12 would be the best to use, you could give it an extra hour of dark for the last week or 2, but thats as far as i would take it, i dont think it will finish several weeks earlier but it might knock a day or 2 off, so add up the extra hours of dark you are giving it over the period it has left to flower, so say their will be 24 x 1hour extra till the end of flower, then to me it makes sense to knock a day off the finishing time, i dont think it would make it finish any sooner than that, but i wouldnt use anything other than 12-12 for the most of flower as this is what the plants have been bread to flower to, so messing this up to much might make them go hermie,
But mate, PLEASE HAVE SOME PATIENCE!! Now i am not 100% on if giving her less light will increase your yield by a major amount. It may speed her up finishing a little faster yes, but not sure bout much gain.
Glad You noticed it though!!! Stuff like that can certainly ruin your Day, Week, Month!!! Thanks for liking My Stupid idea of Sunday Guys, it would be something to see!!! I feel all out of Sorts of Late, Tired,Groggy, almost like a Hang Over, I wonder if it is the Heat,BTW, it is 110 Here Today!!! I do not like the Heat, but it has Never effected Me like this Before, and I ain't running around in Body Armor and an NBC suit Either!!!
I just feel like I am an Un-Motivated Individual ATM, maybe I am Depressed or Some Thing, IDK.
If anybody has any suggestions, PLEASE ADVISE, ROGER OUT!!! SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.
