Correct......you can either adjust your time from veg to whatever time you want for flower....

Just leave the lights on till you're ready for the new flip time.....or.....turn your lights out for a few more hours....either way, they look great!

Thats what I figured. Thanks!

Plants look fire! I'll be flipping to flower in one more week I think. I want the tops to stretch up a little bit before doing so. That will make it just over 4 weeks since transplanting into the 5 gallon pot with FFOF. I did a bit of research and 4 weeks is usually the maximum amount of food it has. Looks like I should have a nice multi cola canopy. Super stoked!

Cheers Yall!

Each girl got top dressed with some castings and got a half gallon of phd water and calmag today. Want to get the microbes working better before I top dress for flower. Regular Ipm spray applied. Thats about it. Coasting.

Cheers!

Praying again!

So I ran into a few issues. I waited a bit too long to top dress and am chasing a small deficiency it looks like. Early tell tale symptoms. Especially top left plant which is also the biggest. That and I overwatered my ladies due to being out of town for four days. Im almost positive this is the issue because they all were fine for a while now. I gave them a shit load of water before leaving. I top dressed almost a week ago so the plants should definately start growing nicely again any day now. They still look pretty healthy though. Lesson learned which is the best part. With organics timing is essential! Im gonna go another week or so before flipping. Just waiting for them to eat a little before the switch. Get nice and green again. Anyhow, I think like six plants with a shorter veg of 6 weeks, is a better setup. Its fun growing big plants but its just not as efficient. I'll get back in a few days with some results.

Cheers Yall!

Went ahead and did a much needed defoliation. Took several cuttings and put them in water under plastic dome. Let's see if i can root them for shits and giggles. Ill wait about a week for the plants to recover from the stress and then flip. Ill do another defol and top dress after the stretch.

Cheers!

Some plants are easy to figure out when taking leaves off, others are a challenge !!!

The upside is there are a lot of places that can be bud sites when there are leaves like this.

Holy shit that looks like a pain in the arse. I can't imagine how long that must have taken. I think defoliation is important but not to be overdone. I think some people go a little bit overboard with it. I prefer a more natural approach with a minimally invasive cultivation process. To each their own though...

Plants were fine all up until about a week ago. The only change that I can think of is plants running out of nutrients and my top dress not working quick enough. I think I waited a bit too long to top dress as the FFOF nutes only last about 4 weeks. That and im pretty sure I over watered them last week due to going out of town for 4 days. I drowned the roots I think. I reduced the amount of water given and am watering every 3 days. When I came home and watered them they perked up a bit for a day and then went back to curling. Wtf? I went ahead and gave them a foliar feed consisting of epsom salt and a bit of seaweed extract. Two of the plants are showing a lighter leaf coloration and the one on the top left is really dark. It almost looks like a nitrogen toxicity but that doesn't make any sense to me. Is it a deficiency, toxicity, or is it due to being overwatered? Idk? I know I just did a big defoliation so they might still be a bit stressed from that still. Im really confused. They were fine for two months and now they are giving me issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im probably overreacting and just need to give them a little more time for the top dress to start working. Idk. I don't wanna start doing too much and fuck them up completely. Nothing worse than helicopter growing. Lol. All I know is im not using FFOF ever again. Nothing but problems with this soil! I want them to be nice and healthy with proper nutrient availability before I flip.

Please help!
Thanks

It was definitely a watering issue! I overwatered them that one week when I went out of town. That and the nutes had depleted. I also waited a bit too long to top dress. I should have done it a week or two earlier. Plants were having a hard time uptaking nutrients due to the watering issue I think. It looks like they are coming back around though. Their color and leaf turgor is coming back. Ill probably wait until the end of this week and flip to flower. Thanks for any input!

 

[chitownglass]

Plants are coming around nice! I had to wait a little bit for the nutes to stabilize. Showing abit of nitrogen richness. My timing with the new organics was a bit off. Its a learning curve. I think I figured it out tho for next time. Maybe this upcoming weekend I'll switch to flower. They smell amazeballs already! Should be some big ass trees!

 

[chitownglass]

Having some issues this time around. They are one week into flower. Idk if the Gaia Green nutes burnt them or if they are deficient? I waited 5 weeks to top dress. That should have been plenty of time for the ffof to get depleted. I only gave them 3 tablespoons of 444 and 2 tablespoons of 284 along with a cup of castings each. I don't get it? Should have stuck with my liquid nutes as I was already used to them. To me it looks like they are over fed. I tried giving them calmag with a bit of nitrogen and it didn't really help much. I think my best bet is to go water only until stretch is done. See if the issue persists or gets better and finish off with my bottled nutrients. Im not liking the look of these plants. What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Did my final defoliation and lst adjustments they are almost two weeks into flower. Plants were way too bushy. Now the light can penatrate all necessary bud sites. Hopefully we can now just coast all the way thru flower!

Cheers!

 

[chitownglass]

I can't believe I fit them in my tent. Squeezed in for sure! LOL. Im probably gonna raise the light as high as possible so I can eventually blast it. I think its like 650 watts. Should be ideal for the 4x4.

Cheers!

Day 15 flower here. Plants are doing okay though. I switched over to my bottled General Organics flower nutes. Im feeding every other watering. I think the plants look okay, could be better. I think I did okay for run number two though. I definitely learned a few things from some mistakes I made. Hopefully they grow some fat frosty colas. We shall see...

My veg closet is busting at the seams though! Its gonna be fun trying to keep them from outgrowing the space while the big girls finish. Im just gonna continue topping every week or two for the next 8 or so weeks.

Cheers!

22 days into flower here. Its been hella hot here in Chicago these last couple of weeks. My window ac in the living room is having a hard time cooling my bedroom down properly. I have to keep my door open and ac has to be blasting at all times. I knew I should have bought a separate ac for the bedroom. At its highest point temp is at like 83 degrees and 50%rh which seems okay to me. I did get a little light stress and tip burn as i was out of town for a few days. I switched my lights on time to go on at night and im sure that helped quite a lot. I think we should be okay though. We've got another 6 or 7 weeks to go. The buds are already glistening with trichomes which is a good sign. Veg closet plants were all topped and im gonna defoliate today as well. Ill probably have to wait a week or two for them to acclimate to the flower tent before switching.

Cheers!

Plants are looking great !!!

Hot and muggy in Ottawa, Ontario too (which isn't that far from Chicago). It's good that you have a window ac at least which also helps with humidity.

Yea man its been terrible everywhere in the US from what I heard. I went ahead and defoliated all of my veg plants. It was out of control in that little space. When I transplant and move them into the flower tent ill probably go ahead and give the scrog net a shot. They have the perfect branch structure to weave in and out of one I think. The stems are also really maleable. I've been twisting them and snapping the membrane to keep them where I want. Im gonna do another top dress next week. The plants grew damn big in those little one gallon pots. The pheno with the huge fan leaves is my favorite. I also took some cuttings and actually got a few to root. Big plants are doing okay too. And will be starting their fifth week in flower soon.

Day 33 of flower here. Is it just me or are these buds fat as hell already for day 33? I thought this was going to be a slow flowering strain but they are putting on weight like crazy. I wish I had a better camera because the buds are freaking beautiful already! The aromas are kicking in too. It's giving a good sour dank smell which i like a lot. Im guessing we have another four weeks to go. I did burn some of the foliage due to the crazy heat wave we had. Other than that were coasting all the way thru.

Cheers Yall!
