I grow organic so I don't use nutes unless I have a plant in serious trouble. I'd say they are average feeders. I don't flush either. I also don't feed anything for the last month. I let them eat up everything in their pots and die off naturally (fade out).
Since you're using nutes, I'd flush those girls about 2 weeks out and then nothing but COLD plain ph'd water till chop. Or you can taper off dosage on the last 1 or 2 feeds. Once they start fade-out, they start shutting down and quit eating anyway. You're just wasting money and nutes by feeding at the end.

But hey - they YOUR plants. I'd like to see how they finish no matter how you choose to grow them!

MamaBear... your input is extremely valuable, if not for my case but for someone else's! You Obviously know your shit! People TAKE NOTICE!


Thank you for you input.

Aw shucks! De nada - just take care of those gorgeous ladies. And keep posting those pics!

 

[Desertdweler]

So last night was the switch to flower. I will get some pics posted after they settle in. They are a little tall for my taste but, this is just the first run.

I think 3 runs of any strain is what it takes to dial them in.

I guess I will just need to put the light right on top of em so they don't stretch much.
Still trying to work out the details of my new dimmer switch. But now I know what I need to do, after calling for some advice.

Today is a good day!

 

[Desertdweler]

I can report they are doing very well!

As you can see all lower vegetation has been removed.

Happy and very perky!

 

[MamaBear]

Very nice!

Now they will go crazy with new growth. If you thin large fan leaves to keep the canopy light and airy, the under shoots can catch up. Then you'll double or triple your tops. They grow thick and bushy and always do better after a good pruning. You will end up with a scrog-like shape but mine don't need any support or net.

 

[Desertdweler]

10 days in and I've noticed PM!!! Gave em some Procidic2. I hope to be able to keep it at bay.

Any suggestions?

 

[MamaBear]

Thin out some leaves and get more air moving in there. Space your plants farther apart. Check your humidity. I don't know what's going on but seems everyone is having PM problems lately. I put trays under my pots and switch to bottom watering for a while - let that top soil dry out. Dump any water that isn't absorbed after 30mins. Don't water until they start to droop.
Sorry, that's all I got. I do get stronger terpenes when I keep my plants on the dry side though.

 

[Desertdweler]

PM is no longer showing. But I know its still there, so I will keep an eye on it. Everything is progressing nicely. They are rocking along at day 15...

I do have another strain going that is showing traits I have never seen before in a plant and is putting of the most intense aroma at 17 days that I am super excited to see the results of. It is Forbidden Fruit. Should I start a new thread on this one?

Talk about purpling.................

 

[MamaBear]

Heck yeah! I always look for the stinky ones!

 

[jipp]

looking good. you can start a new thread for your plants if you like.. its up to you.

have a fantastic day.

 

[Desertdweler]

Ok... For those that are interested, here is the link:

:fire:Forbidden Fruit Grow:fire:

I will keep this thread focused on the GDP.

Cheers

 

[Desertdweler]

Well... I have been a little busy! Good stuff.

Ladies are progressing nicely. Tops are starting to fill in and get full. But no real crazy colors yet.

 

[Desertdweler]

Oh and also the next batch of clones rooted 100% and is now in 6x6x4 blocks.

 

[CaliRooted]

You'll be fine with procidic!!!!

 

[Desertdweler]

I have noticed very little PM showing, so I am gonna give em another dose of Procidic tonight. Gotta love the dimmer... All I have to do is turn em way down so nothing burns, during treatment.

 

[CaliRooted]

Get procidic once in early veg then the first week of flip and you shouldn't see it at all. How many MLS per gallon are u mixing at?

I only used 30mL's

 

[Dan789]

Late response I know but this is from one Black Bubba seed from Humboldt, don’t think I’ve got a Cal mag deficiency (Is getting the 5ml per gallon feed every week), every stems red. But also that could indicate this needs more than what’s working for the rest of my plants.

 

[CaliRooted]

That's a good amount. I'm doing 60 MLS safely just to let you know.
