11 Weeks (day 18 flower)


Question: Should I clear foliage in order to expose lower budsites, or should I simply ensure tops are exposed while maximizing foliage?

I topped 'em both, along with heavy pruning afterwards. Long veg time.

Very nice stedanko! I love that character from cheech and chong. It's funny when they bust the nuns, and then, even funnier when they are dressed as harikrishnas <sp>....

Anyway, looks like you'll have some dank bud here soon!

Day 28 update, question

Day 28 update, question

So far, so good. This is only my second grow, and the first being botched, I didn't experience very good bud development. I'm guessing I should start to see these jewels swelling up soon, but im curious what kind of swell is common. Do these babies multiply in size?

I'd like to keep my imagined possibility in line

Hi folks.

I noticed a little tip burn after feeding a couple days ago. It has not gotten any worse.

Do I wanna flush these guys out, or should I just continue watering as usual?

I'm worried I'll *reactivate* the nutes. I don't know if this belief has any merit, please inform.

Thanks!

 

[Guest]

Ease off a tad on the nutes if the tips are burning. Those buds definitely have a good bit of growing to do still. Don't worry. Talk to me in a week or so and see if you are still wondering what's up! Everything looks good.....just ride it!

hey sarge ! ( hey s2d cool to see you here too !) nice plants! are ya gonna go with sensi's recommended flower time 45 50 days ? they look super healthy . ya may wanna give them just water for a few feedings ... looks like it may be just some root tips drying out by the drainholes of the pots ? or a build of of salts on the roots ..... a bit of flushing could be healthy . so i agree with s2d . just water for a week .....they may just need liquids a bit more frequently or a larger bit at the same interval . whichever ,hang in there only two weeks left ! looking good .!! one thing with the foliage at this point is that it should be left on . they're actually feeding the flowers to make them grow big and strong...so leave the pruning for during veg . as for reactivating the nutes .... maybe if they are really OD'd ... it does'nt look like they are . what do you use anyway ? (for fertilizer ).... the last thing about the swelling .... ice it to keep the swelling down ... or salt peter if that is the case .... no really now .... not sure about the make up of these babies ... possibly sk#1 xsk#1 = sativa type pheno of lesser yield than sk#1 but more of the fruity of the gold (aculpulco or colombian ) and less of the afghani that makes up the indica bulk in the sk#1 . i hope that doesn't confuse things for anyone including myself because it is just my theory ... only sensi seeds and your hairdresser know!... .... heeehee . alright ... e nuff from me for now . many blessings ,all is well , hidingtree

 

[hidingtree]

just a ps. many strains do usually pack alot of weight on in the last 2 or so weeks .... as with yours probably the case ... see ya in a week or so .... over at s2d's place maybe? cant wait to see those monsters .!

Well I repotted just before flowering into 5gal pails from 2gal pots, the roots were clogged. I never actually drilled any holes in it, mainly because I'd been watering about 500ml every other day. I think im just gonna leave it that way as I don't plan to flush. (comments?)

I used fox farms products for the grow: grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom in ocean forest soil. Barely any of the grow big or tiger bloom has been used, as the soil is plenty rich. I used a bit more of the grow big because its a reletively dilute organic supplement with bat and seabird guano, kelp, and liquified worm castings.

Think theres going to be a need for further feedings at this point?

I'll harvest when my trichs are as s2d's avitar

thanks for the input, and smack upside the head s2d, im a worrier!

 

[hidingtree]

i don't think any more nutes needed . but , next time drill holes in the buckets .... those roots need to breathe a bit .... so in a 5 gal bucket 3/8 to 1/2 holes and broken up styrofoam from packing we all throw away is what i use to line the bottom of the cotainers for aeration ( like styrofoam gravel ) i think yours will be ok ... though considering the size of the buckets and depth .good to have air into the root zone though on the next run .... but kudos ... you've gotten this far . they look excellent . no worries . .

Hey very nice grow. Frosty as hell. Skunk always seems to come through. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Guest]

Oh yeah Sgt. You definitely have a nice pheno, and much faster finisher than mine, but again, I don't know what breeder mine is from because it was a clone. Looks like they are starting to fatten up nice, and will make for a nice harvest!

 

[hidingtree]

hey sarge , all is well . how 's the smell .? i've always been curious about the 125w fluoros ... good combo you've got there .. cant wait to see the latest ..... when you update next , many blessings , hidingtree
