Cherry Pie
Day 62
So she really is just starting budlets now, as shown in the pictures. With this many days to budlets I can’t begin to guess how long total she’ll go. 130 days? That would be about 70 flower days. With autos, I find that once you hit flower, their timeline is not dissimilar from photo flower times.
Note in the side shot that there is a growth bump, or a little hill of growth, in the center of the canopy. I don’t believe this is by chance dominance expression. I believe it is due to the fact that the middle is where the two light fields intersect/overlap, and this the area of highest ppfd on the canopy. She has a generally umbrella-esque shape to her for this reason I believe. If you had an XS 1500 Pro that was one light, but the same width as the two I’m using, you wouldn’t get the intersection. Something to keep in mind when setting up lighting. It’s why I strongly prefer a bar lighting for a tent.
Also note that I got her color back up. It’s amazing how fast the response is in coco. This plant is a lesson in how to handle an N hog, which you will have at some point, it’s very common. You basically have to stay on top of it. In my experience there’s a tipping point, after which you can no longer bring her back. When the yellowing won’t stop. Don’t allow that to happen or you’ll have an Apple Fritter from my last grow. That’s exactly what happened to her - I waited too long and didn’t keep up on it, and suddenly she glowed yellow. This is bad. Lol.
), the recipe calls for one cup of EWC, and one cup of humus if that is relevant. Everything else is basically 1/4 cups. Yoda said to give them the tea about every ten days to two weeks, so I think starting with the next Geo application (2 weeks) I will water it in with the tea. Then again with each application. Make sense? Last question - once I start the tea, is there any reason to discontinue consistent EWC application or watering in the Mackerel or Kelp?
