Keith's First Plant

[KeithLemon]

Good morning 420ers the day started out sunny, but I do not think it will stay this way. My plants look ok, but I have something eating my leaves and do not know what it is. I keep looking but never see what it is must be at night when I am sleeping. I will spray with neem and see if that gets whatever it is. It is the Apple Fritter that is being eaten not the Sour Diesels. I have some pictures maybe someone will know what the critter is. i will take some pictures of the Apple Fritter so Jon and I can see how both the plants are doing.

Plants are really making up for lost time at your place! Since you're outside your plants aren't in flower yet with the solstice was just 3 days ago. Completely different from autos or flipping in a tent. I'd save the Big Data (which is mostly phosphorus you don't need and some extra potassium) for a few weeks, since the pistils you're seeing are just telling you that the plants are female.

Also I'm going to re-suggest cardboard toppers for the pots so you can feed them when you want to rather than having to wait for them to dry out with rain water washing out the nutes you're feeding.

You don’t believe they need those during the stretch Shed? You are suggesting waiting g until you have little buds before switching?

Nice with some morning sunny pictures! The girls looks happy! The rain did a good job watering them! They didn't skip a beat and just kept on growing! Cheers!

Gorgeous!

Thank you Jon I will take some more picture's of the Apple Fritter a little later in the day. Your Apple Fritter is looking great and growing fast.

Thank you Wastei. The rain did not hurt them, and the pots dry out pretty quickly so I can feed them.

Good lord man she’s huge. Beautiful. GIGANTIC fan leaves, wow. They look bigger than your hand. Question: what’s the outside RH going to be during flower approximately? Also, do you think she is stretching yet?

Looks like one of the pictures is a Sour Diesel.

Your ladies look bloody beautiful man WOW! Looking at them I don't think anything is eating your leaves, could be a little stress how far is that fan leaf from where you topped? Unless it's on quite a few of them in random places I wouldn't worry too much.

If it was me and my little understanding of plant food switching to flower based nutrition doesn't need to happen until after stretch but can be introduced during stretch.. once your in second week of stretching you should still have enough N sitting in soil anyways to get you through so can introduce flower feed for a week before fully switching over. I think it would be difficult to mess it up in those large pots unless the rain really is running through it alot.

If that damage isn't a result of topping as Greenvein mentioned then Neem won't help with what's eating those leaves. That looks like either caterpillar or cricket damage. As I recall, crickets and caterpillars eat holes in the middle, where grasshoppers eat from the edges in.

Might want to get yourself some BT concentrate and start spraying with that for caterpillars. You'll probably need it come flower anyway.

Not sure what handles grasshoppers and crickets but I'd grab BT anyway.

He's not in stretch yet 4 days into summer and those plants probably won't show flower for 3 weeks minimum. Plenty of time to introduce Big Data, and with a 3-4 month flower period better he shouldn't run out.

The damage is typically from a Grasshopper. Cheers!

I get that, I mean in general. I always switch at the beginning of the stretch is why I ask. Is it your opinion that the plants don’t need those nutes for the stretch or are you talking a provable fact? Sorry for my ignorance.

Thanks Newb The topping is amazing as I have never done it before this time. In the future I plan on topping my plants more.
