My new grow space

I do understand Why you do that PW, just to check...

If you start adding flower nutes on the day you chance the light.. you would be "boosting" the right nutes so that She wants to flower more.

Really not Sure If This works like that, but it came across my mind and needed to put it in words... really curious about your tought .
Yeah I hear right, can anybody chime in and tell us why we continue to use grow nutrients into flower?
 
Thanks buddy and it helps me to leep things straight in my head. Plus i dont see the need to give too much CalMag , so I do nutes, nutes, water (with CalMag), repeat. Any water with a ppm reading from the tap should contain enough iron and other traces. I like to be sure, and I'm not around during lights off to be able to foliar spray if needed.

That makes sense to me. Sometimes I have black and white and the grey is so uncertain in my head then. The thinking here was that you dont "just give them water" so i am not Sure If you flush them that third time... I have to say that I would not mind If they would get What they need, but does it get more risk of buildup?

Again trying to expand my knowledge and who knows What awnsers are there ..

Flower nutes are just that. When you flip you don't have flowers, you have sites that will produce a flower. It takes several days for the first pistils to show, now you have a flower and should change to flower nutes then.

Ok This is good food to the brain :) so you "cant" push them with flower nutes? Thats another piece of the puzzle... Merci SD!
 
Brother I'm glad she confirmed on a weekend when I have time to make 10 trips out there in a day..... I don't know why I don't just pull a sleeping bag into my grow room LMAO. Now, to clone her and keep my fingers crossed that her twin is identical and not paternal lol. Both would be wicked!

Her mom grew pretty much the same on her seeded and cloned grows. The other ATF did the same (though the two seeds produced two different phenos) as well. Invest in plant yo-yos, you will need it with the ATF. Its a pretty easy strain to clone as well. Curious to see your thoughts on the strains smell, so different than the other strains I have grown. So earthy with hints of pine and cedar with some cat piss undertones.
 
Thanks Rider. It was actually a PH issue. My teas PH went through the roof one night (8.4), thank God I checked it the next day. I flushed the two affected..... I'm assuming you mean on my youngsters? My white cookies, both look yellow in the flower locations, but they're not. I can't blame it on the camera, but they're super healthy.

Not the youngsters, as their yellowing appears on bottom leaves. I noticed the yellow at the growth tips on all of the bigger plants, and am glad to hear that it's a photographic anomaly.

This is my thinking: The transition to flower isn't instantaneous and neither should the feed schedule be. As the plant is transitioning to flower it puts on a growth spurt and needs the grow nutrients until that growth stretch is mostly over. After the stretch subsides and flowers begin to show the grow nutrients can be cut back and the flower nutes pushed. But even then I don't cut back considerably on the grow nutes until I can see that the plant has entered the end game and is starting to consume itself. I tried feeding to a schedule but abandoned that in favor of responding to the plant's needs.
 
I do the same as PW. Can you get a side shot of the 2 White Cookies? I'd like to see the difference in height between them.
Scrog i gotta hand it to you......you had my back with his little white cookies. When she was small and struggling, you said " wait til she hits flower....she wont be little anymore". Well my Hydro white cookies is clearly taking off from her soil counterpart.

Also my veg tent is going crazy....not a party crazy lol.

Pics tomorrow......had a bit of a rough night.

hope everything is better today for you man! Positive energy your way :cheer:
 
Thanks guys, Truly I appreciate the thoughts.. When my girl has a rough day, it's a trickle down effect. I consume her mood so it goes no further than me. Menopause is no joke for some women, I feel for my girl....

Today's a better day......phewww!!
 
Let's get down to business of green......lots going on.

Inside the house, so I can keep an eye on them for now. I'm trying my own little experiment based on my buddy Derbs idea. Although i normally skip the papertowel step......now i need to Bust out a wicked taproot in paper towel. Once long enough, get it established in my foam insert and get her to stretch down to the reservoir. That's where I'm presently at.

I'm having issues uploading pics. Anyone else?

Everyone else. Chris says he's working on it
 
Yes the phone app is not working properly
You can go to Web view and upload, or the PC will also work
They are working feverishly on it my friend so I'm hoping it's fixed soon
 
I'll wait to post my update til tomorrow, it'll only make sense with my photos. Wait til you see this crazy ass rootball on my White Cookies.

Thanks Chris.....youre a good man!
 
I only work from my cell phone on the large format, so pictures still are not a possibility for me yet.......but I can't really wait to tell you all of my news lol.....
Ill go in point form for now
VEG TENT
*my 6 seedlings in my veg tent have absolutely exploded. It has to be attributed to them starting on full nutrients, but also the help of this 400W HID bulb and reflector from my buddy KCCO77.
*sharing these accommodations are my 2 ATFs. One has been confirmed as a female, one still is an "x". 4 sizable clones have been taken from my confirmed female and are now in my new cloner.
* Temperature fluctuations up and down this winter have been easily controlled by using the dimmable feature on my ballast, as well as my fan speed controller that controls my veg tent exhaust fan and exhausts into my flower room.
*presently able to maintain 78° F across all 3 spaces.
SEEDLING TENT
*I was put off by my DIY cloner. I was able to buy a 2" and 1 3/4" hole saw for my cordless drill. Surely one would be the correct size for the 2" foam inserts. Nope.....the 2" made a hole 1/8" too big so my one insert fell in constantly, and my 1 3/4" made a hole that ended up being too small. I had to struggle to get an insert into it, let alone with a clone in it..... Not good. So I broke the bank and for $80 bought a fully assembled 24 site that fits nicely in my tent. It currently has 10 visitors in it......Id love to show you.....maybe some other time, lol.
*6 white rhino, peyote cookies seedlings are doing great, space may become an issue in veg shortly lol.
FLOWER.
*Tonight my Crown Royales, both White cookies and my Alpha Dawg all got tucked to expose as much of their inner nodes as possible. No leaf removal or further LST til stretch has subsided.
*My DWC white cookies got her reservoir changed tonight (Wednesday weekly or there arounds). My usual GRO nutes, but dialled down a bit, also a tiny bit of bloom. Added CalMag as well as 10 mls of Triponic Terps. Final ppm of 800. I've been slowly gaining steam on her formulation.

I think that's it for now, late night in the room. No biggy on the pics, the girls will be that much bigger tomorrow! I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow.

Goodnight 420!
