Flower

Plants look overall healthy. However, I have some leaf tips which are clawing down (mostly on the right hand plant) I believe this is due to the adding too much worm castings. I plan on watering tomorrow, but from what I have read, it is something that you have to just “ride”out with organic grows. I don’t know how to fix. Plant on left is always looking good overall, right side plant often seems a little droopy. After watering she’ll perk up, but seems to begin to droop when other plant is ok. With organic, I know soil is to remain moist but I’m a bit nervous about overwatering I may not be keeping soil moist enough.

BINAII Bruh, don’t sweat it. Best thing I’ve done is grabbed some Ecowitt moisture sensors from Amazon to monitor my soil moisture. They kept me from wondering when I should be watering. Should look into it.

Did some more chopping today. Plants look good, nice canopy and good airflow underneath it. Happy with how girls are looking. I took off a few questionable bud sites that I just didn’t think would really produce much. Happy with my decisions😊

Flower

Topped dressed today w GG bloom/AP/glacier dust and watered w a little CM. One plant was a little droopy but not too bad. I was afraid to water yesterday but prob would have been fine. Tried to adjust more branches into net squares. Net is about ¾ full with branches in holes

Flower

Flipped to flower yesterday and today did a decent amount of defoliation. I wanted to just keep going taking off leaves and small branches but I chickened out on a few sites that hung kinda low under canopy but may reach once plants stretch up a bit. I’m pretty happy with the decisions I made and will probably cut more in the next weeks.

zer0applied I started pruning my bottoms after constantly seeing your cute bottom area lol.

cookredeyed

cookredeyed Ha! I needed that! Thanks! 😂😂

zer0applied

zer0applied I’m serious. I usually let them roll natural but I started removing the first 6 inches or so, even a little more on my momma depending on soil compaction etc.

Watered and did some light defoliation. I also put in trellis net but I’m sure it’ll need adjusting after i flip (tomorrow maybe…). I kinda started spreading out the plants to fill in net. Plants are kinda short but that’s ok.

NateTheSnake Normally if plants are shorter that means their either indica or mostly indica hybrid. It’s just in its genetics and by looking at how much wider those leaves are than sativa, it’s definitely indica dominant. Makes for a nice spread out and easy to spread out canopy.

Joey weed seed

Joey weed seed Looking good. Just keep tucking them leaves 🫡

cookredeyed

cookredeyed Thanks to both for comments!! It looks like these will have a nice canopy the way plants are developing. I’ve been tucking on top and will start snipping on bottom! W my last photo grow I had a bit of popcorn that I wanna avoid this time. I plan to be a bit more aggressive w my defoliation and lollipoping

Took the auto out of the flower tent. Still on an 18/6 cycle tho. I will flip next week. They seem a little small right now but I know they’ll get a bunch bigger when I flip. I plan on putting trellis net up again but will be a bit more aggressive with my defol/lollipoping this time. I think I’ll need to take the tower fan out when net goes in.

(2 in back). Brown spots are not getting worse, thank dog! I can’t wait for these gals to have their own tent! Even tho they are a little small I am planning on flipping to flower as soon as my OC x HJ is dry (in my veg tent) so I can move seedlings into it and put my Purple punch back in the auto tent.

Topped again. Both plants are looking pretty good. The plants sap is like blood! I was tempted to taste it, but I didn’t.

Day: 37

Overall girls look good and I’m wanting to top once more soon. 1st pic looks a little droopy but pots still have some weight to them. I’ll water tomorrow. I was also thinking of adding calmag (advanced nutrients) because I think I have a little bit of a calcium deficiency. Some bronze spotting on some of leaves. My concern is that my cal mag is not organic and has some other additives that I’m unsure will go well with the Gaia Green.

amithus Awesome looking plants 👍👍

amithus

amithus Oh yeah I watched a past podcast with MrGrowIt and and a few of his guests including the Utah Dr. of horticulture and he said that synthetic nutrients can be used with organic as the organic biosphere breaks the stuff down to those base synthetic molecules so as long as you’re not pounding in too much and causing an imbalance, you should be ok. https://youtu.be/W-3ZZJyk5lc?si=OAUhSgpkoVZpeJPl That’s the link to the pod.

amithus

amithus You could foliar spray cal mag too if you don’t want it in your soil. Again I’m brand new to cannabis so ymmv but I have used foliar cal mag sprays on my bonsai trees for years.

Transplanted today instead of tomorrow. Got off work early so I figured what the hell! Two girls are in their final home: 5g pots w Sunshine Pro #4 (60%), worm casting (20%), perlite (20%). Amended w Gaia Green Power Bloom, AP444, Glacier Rock dust. Dusted heavily pot hole with mykos and Azos. I’ll water today but will be adding organic blackstrap molasses soon to my watering. Lots of roots. I also added an oscillating tower fan.

These two are really growing strong it seems. The one plant was a little droopy yesterday, but seems fine today after watering. I will prep my medium today to be ready for transplanting into 5 gal pots. My next run will be only one plant in a larger pot 7 or 10 gal. With this run, my plan is to be heavier in the defoliation/lollipop to avoid the larf I’m seeing on my OC x HJ. I prepped the pots for transplanting. Hope to do it by next Saturday.

amithus How many nodes did she have before the hair cut? You’re like 2 weeks ahead of me and I am leaning a ton from your posts

cookredeyed

cookredeyed I cut them both at the 5th node. I just let the wine be my guide on these this time. Usually I stress for a few days and then make the cuts!! Lol!!

I’m pretty happy w how these gals are looking. It’s only been a few days and they already look like they need to be transplanted again! Lol. I’m going to wait another 1.5 weeks at least before transplanting I want to see a root ball that I can really dust w the mykos and azos.

Day: 18

I transplanted yesterday into 1gal containers. I mixed aprox 60% SS pro #4/ 20% worm casting/ 20% perlite. To this I added Gaia Green: 444 (4T),Power Bloom (2T), Glacier Rock Dust (2T); the. In hole for transplant, I sprinkled Azos and Mykos (I also sprinkled on roots I wish I got pics! Grrr!! 😡) I watered with R/O water since my regular water wasn’t dechlorinated yet.

Day: 15

These 2 pretty girls are ready for transplant. I am waiting until tomorrow (poss Wednesday) for my mites to arrive. Originally I was going to continue w the drip hydro nutes but instead I’ll be switching to Gaia Green AP/glacier rock dust/bloom. I also plant to do about a 75/25 SS pro #4/worm casting. To this I will add additional perlite as well (no plan as to ratio, just until I think is good is my plan).

a month ago

amithus

amithus What’s a 75/25 SS pro #4? I’m very new and trying to soak up everything. :)

cookredeyed

cookredeyed 75/25 was the ratio I was planning to use for my grow medium. 75% Sunshine Pro #4 (I think it is similar to ProMix HP) and 25% worm castings. I just transplanted these two yesterday to a 1gal pot and I pretty much stuck to the 75/25 but I also added a solo cup’s worth of perlite. I am trying my first organic grow so I stirred into this mix Gaia Green All Purpose, Glacier rock dust, Power bloom. I hope it works out!

These 2 seem to be growing faster than my auto (they are 2-3 days older however). Auto just seems small in comparison. These 2 seem happy even tho one has brown tips (not concerned). Watering w R/O water out of a spray bottle. Can’t wait to get these girls out of their solo cups.

amithus

amithus Hey I’ve followed some of your past grows and I’d love to know what your light schedule is for these, do you have them under 40%, 50%? What’s the distance from the plant, etc? I’m doing my very first grow and yours seem to be taking off faster than mine. I have been growing bonsai trees for the past 6+ years and I have a PAR / PPFD meter and mine are getting 200mmols/s. I’m running an 18/6 schedule and I’m growing an auto flower from royal queen seeds. Potting soil is Fox Farms Ocean in the top 70% and the bottom 30% is a mix of fox farms and Natures Living Soil Autoflower blend. I’ve been careful on the watering and I think I’ve got that down. My tent is running between 65deg F in the night and 78 deg F in the afternoon with RH around 72-75% Just wondering what your lights are, what your preferred soil and what you’re feeding them if anything at this stage? Thanks for all your posts, you’ve already helped through watching your other grows.

cookredeyed

cookredeyed Hey. Currently my light schedule is 18on/6off. These two plants have really taken off! However my auto is going a lot slower (Purple Punch), these two are fem photoperiods. I used to only use Fox Farms Ocean, but I think it was too rich in nutrients and dense for the auto flowers I was trying to grow; I had several plants that were really stunted; however I had a few which did really well in the FFOF too! These seedlings are in a small 3x3 under a Mars Hydro FCE3000. Good luck with your grow, you can check my Purple Punch journal too; the Purple punch is very small, and I keep thinking she is too small, but I think im just tripping and she will have a growth explosion in the next 2 weeks! Cheers

amithus

amithus Fantastic thanks for sharing. That’s a good point about it maybe too hot nutes wise because the 3 I started in Rockwool are wayyy bigger than the ones I started in the soil mix. I’m so intrigued by the subtle differences between what seems like a small change but is huge in practice. Appreciate your input and feedback.

Took dome off today. I have humidifier going in tent. I have humidifier set to 70% and average rh in tent is 64%. I upped humidifier to 75. Been watering w a spray bottle. I just gave 12 sprays to each solo cup.

One of the girls is bending a little but the other is standing strong. Still have them under domes. I can’t wait to be out of this ‘solo-cup’ stage. Thinking of putting a speaker in tent so plants have music to listen to.
