OK we have 9 females plus 1 i gave away already. I'm gonna keep 3 BFT and 3 HBMC based on structure. Pic possibly later tonight. All sexed as of yesterday and have been confirmed. It was 3/7 HBMC female because the 3 light burned i pitched. 7/10 BFT female. 4 days after flip.

Frickin' killin' this soil stuff. You'd almost think these plants have been growing in soil from the dawn of history.😜

I believe it was. I'm hoping the girls are nice to me. From the males I ripped out there is still Lotsa room in those pots so should be ok... I hope.

I had my share of mishaps but starting to settle in and get comfortable with it now. As long as I manage to keep the nutrients in line I'm hoping no more issues now that they are in flower.

Plants chugging along bud onset not as big or fast as I anticipated but they are there. Stretch is not to bad. Tops sitting about 65k lux

Looks lovely.

And i still dont think just a short course of bloom nutes would make any difference in a peat mix grow to bud onset from a phosphorous boost. Too much nutes still held ruin the ratio change I would think.

Unless you flush heavy end of veg maybe.

I also dont see why faster bud onset would be better for anything but faster cycle. I stopped using bloom nutes to extend the cycle so the plants have more time to reach their potential.

Just my opinion from my own tests. :-)

Yeah figured I would try it in soil. Definately seen preflowers earlier. These are 9-10 week I think so maybe that's part of it..most likely like you said hard to change the ratio in the soil but either way they are healthy so far so I'm happy.

I don't know I've been doing the nutrient change for quit sometime and I'm convinced it makes a different in bud onset, but for best results i think it goes hand and hand with a few other steps as well. So when I change from my veg, mix to flower mix personally I like to do it 4-5 days before flip, My mix changes but my ratio's don't that much and not in a way that will hurt me. Now I run 6 or more different formulas depending on setup and what I'm growing but here is an example in veg. n-p 1-.57 n-k 1-1.49 k-Ca -Mg 1-.6-.29 flower n-p 1-1.21 n-k 1-1.85 k-Ca -Mg 1-.49-.26 S stays right about the same, but as you can see my ratio's reflect the added p and k but other wise stay pretty much the same even though my mix changes a fair bit. I'm also a firm believer, that light cycle and temps play apart, and I think you can get pretty creative with both, as they will trigger a quicker bud onset. For me the quicker the onset and the quicker the bud growth = bugger,more dense , more resinous, flavorful buds in the end

By the way Aqua looking good

Appreciate the info bro. never grown these strains. I did see an absolute change in preflower. Will see how the onset goes 8 days I see them all over but just was thinking a bit bigger.

I've started topdressing with fish bone meal (3-16-0) once about a couple weeks before flip and just adding the same amount of nutes that I would with each feeding.

Also yeah, I might have to copy that brilliant grow space.
