[GrowrLvlNoob]

looking good

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Thanks now for the hard part... The last 8+ weeks. Open to any suggestions, I'm using go box nutrients

 

[AngryBird]

I can't help you there..sorry.. I only use organic DIY nutrients.

Have you started her on flower feeding? Usually go slow 1/3 next time 1/2 and move up

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Yeah I had to take it down a bit got a little nutrient burn. I'm at half strength now but just added them today. Im thinking about making a sea bird guano tea, friend told me the (P) and cal are needed for flower. Does that sound right or should I just leave it because I'm using the other nutrients.

Hello GrowrLvlNoob!

Sea bird poop is great idea to add at this stage. Additional phosphorus needed for flowers plus calcium to help with nutrient transport. I haven't checked what else your using yet, but if you're watching nute burn I assume you can scale back other nutes to manage transition accordingly.

Your plant looks great! I never get tired of seeing those white buttons pop up.

Finished reading from start. Very nice job with LST for spread getting her ready for flower. +reps

You mentioned thrips. If yo cover top of soil with layer of sand or diatomaceous earth you can stop them. Another suggestion I've heard is to soak paper towel in neem oil or other natural insect control and lay that over top of soil. For what it's worth.

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Thanks for the tip I can do sand no problem. I was using end all but it was proving ineffective. The Monterey spray seems to have done the trick though. I'll brew some seabird tea to help. Thanks again

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

The leaves are pointing straight up hope that's good. Sorry the pics not too good took it quickly with the lights off

 

[AngryBird]

pointing up is reaching for the light. mine are hugging the light, kind of wrapping themselves around it, looking good

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Nice yeah she's really pretty and growing fast

Day 53 (12/12 D22)

 

[AngryBird]

beautiful

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Quick question, if I increase my watering schedule should my feeding schedule increase?

 

[KingstonRabbi]

Quick question, if I increase my watering schedule should my feeding schedule increase?

Generally yes. Growth of plant increases both need for water and nutes. So you would stick with alternating plain water and watering with nutes.

Nutrient levels (nutes per gallon) in each feeding may also be increased and adjusted through growth cycle, but that's not my strong point and I'll let someone else address that.

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Thanks yeah I was doing a weekly feeding and I agree with your assessment. I'm gonna start every 3-4 day feeding schedule

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]
