New Grower & It's A Guess Grow!

Then 3 Autos -- 2 blueberry and 1 OG Kush. They are 33 days now @ 12/12 and the OG Kush has not started flowering. Why???

Today, the Guess Girls turned 3 weeks old! Eenie, Meenie, Miney and Moe before their feeding this morning:
When will I be able to tell which one is which? Girl Scout Cookie, Iced Widow, Cherry Bomb, White Castle? Maybe in flower???? :reading420magazine:

Yeah, it'll be near impossible for anyone, besides maybe the breeders themselves, to tell them apart in veg. You'll have some clues, sativa/indica dominance and detailed leaf and stem structure, but you'd likely have to be an expert in the strain and its phenos before you'd be able to tell.

Even in flower it might take some real effort and likely a very good nose as much as eyes.

You are nowhere near the first person to make this mistake, but it's just a data collection issue really, won't change the quality of your yield.

So the yellowing of the leaves don't occur until after I flushed the plants? I'm getting ready to flush this weekend.

Your girl's leaves look they are into their autumn colors, but your pistils and still plump and white. I'd guess you got likely two more weeks at least. Can ya get us some updated pics before you start flushing?

Flushing itself is a contentious issue with strong advocates on both sides and everywhere in the middle. My opinion is that you can only really do a full flush in a pure hydro setting and not really possible or desirable at all in LOS, no-till, high brix grows.

Where you land is something we all just have to decide, you'll have lots of support regardless of where on the spectrum you end up.


Your autos are on 12/12 for space issues I'm guessing?


And finally, great job all around, both for your grow and your journal.

When they are into flower, I will study each strain online and try to figure it out based on the criteria you listed. Thanks! I'd really like to know which is which...especially if I decide to clone them.

I've taken the girls off the bottle (expensive bottle water) and have only given them ph'd tap water the past few times (they are very thirsty.....drink every other day, even though I water to runoff!!). They don't like the tap water (me either) and are showing some cal mag deficiencies.

Should I put them back on flowering nutes for another week?

I had to put my autos on 12/12 because I ran out of veg space. Now that I have a tent and some new lights, I don't have to worry about space issues....although, I'm considering not starting another group until the fall.... it's too hot now and my electric bill has skyrocketed!

And finally, great job all around, both for your grow and your journal.

:Love: + reps to you RTK for such a detailed answer!!
 
I was worried about the tent mess too, wow noooo problem! :thumb:
Google "Panda Film 100 ft. x 10 ft. Black and White Poly Film 5.5ml"

Some of the uber-growers around here seem to love this stuff and now I understand, wow.
Black side down or against the wall to prevent mold.
White side up to reflect light and help with cleaning.

Very groovy stuff for under/around tent, problem nonexistent!
BTW, now that both of my lights are operational, KaaBoom!
Plants are exploding happily, I had no idea I was so underpowered!:surf:

Yesterday I had a delivery... one 5x5 tent and 2 Mars Hydo Reflectors 144. All boxes came stealth...even Willy couldn't figure out what was in those boxes!!

Love the tile floors. My plants are on those tile floors and it is so easy to clean up. Dreading having to put my tent up in a room with carpet!

My tents room had old carpet I ripped out. Hardwood underneath. I tarped the ground under the tent to protect the house. Im really happy I did. If you have concrete substrate and shitty carpet I wouldent worry about it but would still tarp it. Maybe remove the carpet it might harbor pests??? Ive been doing tile and stone the last 15yrs and would love to tile my tents room too. Maybe one day. Your tile floor is beautiful! I love the pattern and inlay. Have a great day Willys Mom!!

Unfortunately, the carpet in the rooms are fairly new. Most of my house is tiled because I hate carpet, but thought it would be OK for the bedrooms only. As was suggested to me, I think I'll put down some panda film or some carpet runners before I install the tent. Hope I don't have overnight guests anytime soon because they just lost the guest room!!! :scratchinghead: Thanks for the compliments on my tiles! I shopped forever to find those when I bought my house....:thanks:
