Starting A Continuous Harvest Grow - Need Advice

Has your temp shifted? Week veg with a stronger terpene are common characteristics of a lower temp.

Yea I am in CT winter lol my temps are almost impossible to stabilize,we just had single digit temps tho you right it is freezing rn lolol nice so should I discount this smell. Yes I am planning on keeping them as slow growing as possible I do have other lights that are much better and warmer but I have to wait until I have a veg room that can handle the growth,they young and only just now Getting tight in pots so the growth should be normal. Unless it's colder than it's used too my daytime when veg room closed ranges from 72 to 80 daytime n night time low is usually 65. Damn you right it must be getting colder w the outside temps or something I missing
 
Look at what I just found in some CT dispo bud !!

I found a beaner baby!! Looks underdeveloped and pale almost green but it's firm and has full shape. I hope it pops cuz this is quality bud here. It's hard to tell but there are greens,oranges and deep purples on this bud w a thick coat of frost. Bud is light n burns fast but that's more the dry n cure than anything the plant did. Lol sorry if I been extra annoying today,my whole fam was chilling last night n we went to bed late so everyone sleeping in hella late so I'm killing time here on 420 lolol

You always have to wonder why did it seed
Did they have a hermaphrodite? or a male plant
Is the seed going to produce hermaphrodites?
Is it gonna produce male or females?
Am I wasting my time growing it?

Yes that is very true and I bet you probably 100% correct about the herms,she is white lmao so ik it's a long shot in a dark hallway.. ...but it's the only shot I have at these genetics in pic!! it's a phenomenal nuggy !!I take better pics in a sec I just initiated.... a experiment involving the vaporized form of my last ....specimen lmao. Fr tho if she roots,is female and doesn't look too bad lol I'll keep her but if the most likely happens I'll def murk her cuz like you said, I don't want to get those genes in the mix w my keeper genetics..... Damn you are so right tho I don't have the space or soil to add a separate mini grow but I want them nuggys in my jars bad enough to at least try it. I just might get lucky !!! Maybe very lucky!! Lmao 😂
 
2nd to last pic, where the bud is separated...is that the one you took the seed out of? Cuz, there's a seed in there , I'm pretty sure.

Sex isn't black or white with these plant, more of a shades of grey situation. A plant may be 98% female and never present any pollen pods until it is stressed. Either the plant was stressed or the sex was closer to a middle grey. Dispensaries should have access to decent feminised seeds so more likely it was an accidental environmental stress. If the seed is viable it will be closer to a 90% chance at fully female.

Neem oil will not harm the compost. It will keep sewer flies and such out.

You can compost your waste. The ratio depends on what all you are adding. Generally referred to as dry/wet or brown/green ratio in compost. Fall leaves, woody stems, egg shells, coffee grounds would be dry, brown. The high fiber carbon materials. Things like grass clippings, green leaves, garden food scraps would be wet, green. The high nitrogen materials. You want 2 parts carbon to one part nitrogen in your compost mix. If your carbon is too high there won't be enough microbes to break it down. Nitrogen too high you will explode the microbe growth and get a stinky soup. If you need more carbon a bag of wood chips can be used.

i always had the idea of the gardener who says if you pick it eat it and drop it method if they pic a fruit and eat it or break a branch off they let it compost below the tree by throwing it back under the tree . kind of like if i wanted a veg nutrient then if i compost all the stems leaves i cut of the plant that will give a veg nutrient as it only has the plants stems and leaves in it , if i want a blooming nutrient i would have to compost all the flowers and buds ? i am not saying i grow a plant alway to flower then compost it , its the rule of what it grows from it breaks down into the same . so lets say i am a manufacturer of veg and bloom nutrients the veg nutrients are made from veging plants that have been composted and then flowering nutrients are made from plants i have took to flowering and then composted those. i do get what they mean by greens and browns but i dont get it if it takes a nutrient up to make something it should break down back into the basic nutirents the plant took up while it was growing if you get what i am trying to say. like in essence to make a root growing fertilizer i would chop the roots of all the harvested plants and compost those roots in a seperate bucket and us it as a rooting enhancer . at the moment what i hear is that wet veg and dry veg have different carbon contents as they have broken down slightly different . but the plant itself took up all the carbon from the floor so the carbon is always going to be in there . like KNF ( korean natural farming ) you just put the ingredients in that are more like the flower your growing and let it ferment and then use it as fertilizer , going on chat gpt and finding plants simular to the nutrient requirments for cannabis and growing them as a fertilizer crop that you then knf and feed it to the cannbis plants . i was wanting to go KNF as when done in a bucket the nutrients are water soluble and can be used in hydroponics, there are plenty of youtube channels growing plants using knf hydroponics . i was going to make a veg and bllom and root fertilizer this way but it requires several buckets and my back garden is not fenced off or anything so cant really have several buckets outside fermenting plant juiices. otherwise iw ould be doing it that way if i could. :).

but then a plant in the wild is not fed veg and bloom nutrients it takes up what itr needs from the soil its in and most sial has the nutrients to take a plant throiugh veg and flower.

when we grow the plant we are doing what a body builder does we stuff it with the right nutrients at specific ratios hopeing we are feeding the plant what it wants for that process of its life . as with the last plant i just harvested i noticed the leaves where fading too early from either light heat, or wrong nutrients . i figured out i had fed the late bloom ratio too early so it was nmot only light heat and maybe lack of nitrogen and calcium due to reducing the ratrio of nitrogen and calcium which is in part b of the mega crop brand of nutrients i use which has calcium at 30 something % and the nitrogen at 15.5 % , another mistake i made was the nutrient brand said you could increase the bloom or bud explode nutreint but i failed to think that if i increase the bloom nutrient i would also have to increase the part b so it raised the nitrogen content slightly so the leaves wouldn not yellow off so early .

thats my take from what i think my mistake was . so this time my light is at the same height but i have turned it down from 600 to 660wats down to 400 watts which keps the ppf to 1000 and under 600watt amx to 660wat boost it goes above 1000ppfd so i was frying the leaves and dint have the right nutrient balance, this time i will give the recomended dose of bloom in the first half and then experiment with the later bloom ratio which should mean the leaves start to turn yellow and it eats the nitorgen from the leaves like it did last time but not as early.

all in all i am figuring it out bit by bit and for the size of the plant, i got some decent size buds. posted a bit back in this post i think , or maybe i posted a few in the other thread the 24/12 light schedule i think 4our8ighty0's other thread.
