BigCube's grow show and tell.

[BigCube]

Alright here we go! Starting week 7.
I've turned the light off for better pictures. You really get to see the fullness of the dongs.

The head honcho

Another random giant bud, she's full of them!

This dong even has balls!

Lol but in all seriousness, another week down and she is still Impressing me. No real signs of being ready, only very few milky tricombes and %80 of her hairs are still white. The bulk has been put on, the buds dont swell much anymore, not visually noticable anyways. So basically paying the waiting game now. She's taking 1800 ppm. General hydroponics flora trio sans floragrow full strength + green planet pk spike full strength add calmag once a week.

Water through %20, in promix hpcc coco with mycorrhizae.

Spiked bats!

Mid week 7 of flower.
Hairs are starting to turn faster.
About 30% tricombes milky.
Nipples (fox tails) are still showing up.
Brought the ppm down to 1200 ppm from 1800.
Yoyos work great. No more floppy dongs.

what do you figure caused that?

 

[BigCube]

what do you figure caused that?

It's not a bad thing. It's more bud.

Sometimes its genetic, sometimes its heat stress. Mine can't be heat stress cause the tent is actually kept at 24c. So I did a bit more research and it appears that white widow will foxtail under some led lights. I guess mine is one of those.

But like I said, it's a good thing, cause it's more bud, I'm going to cut it when the tricombes are where they need to be even if the tails arent done. So I won't lose time. Flush starts this weekend. So we shall see what happens

 

[hawkman]

heat can cause them but in your case it's genetic -normal for your strains flower length seem like when there is a long flower time foxtails happen , then again sativa's strains are the fox tails ( sativa dominate hybrids, lances, ect( Great looking plant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week 8 update!

Things are going well, foxtails keep popping up, but I'm starting my 2 week flush process anyways. A good 80% of the tricombes are milky, it's time to taper it off the nutrients. Today she got a massive drop in her nutrients, and her last dose of calmag, pk spike and nitrogen. From now on I'll be cutting off 200 ppm per day till she's at our tap water level (12 ppm). Today she is at 800. Then I watch and wait .

Mid week 8 update.

Opened the tent today and was greeted with some nice purple hues. Not sure how much purple its gonna get, but there is a touch of it now

 

[Rooke]

Heya BC man you’ve got the touch! Dialed in big-time well done!! How many more days of flush do you have left ?

Still dropping the ppm. Wednesday will be the first day of water only. So about 10 days left

I want to follow what you doing so when my nuken girls are getting closer I can get my flush timing done properly. I’ve had troubles getting it right in the past. I just started week 4 of flower.

I do my flush a bit different. Where as I take 4 or 5 days to ween my plant off the nutes before I flush. But then I flush like normal water till my tricombes are where I want them and then cut it.

Does that extend you flowering time?

 

[BigCube]

Does that extend you flowering time?

Nope. I cut down when the tricombes are where I want them. I just sorta guess when to start my process, I wait till about 65 to 70% of the tricombes are milky, then I start. By the time it's on water only, it's at 80 - 90% milky. And usually by the end of the week with just water, they are mostly all milky and just a few are starting to amber. Then I cut it.

The only thing different i do from most people is i ween my plants off nutrients over several days. Where as the normal thing to do is maybe give it one day of half strength, but otherwise start flushing right away.

I dont know why I do it this way, I just always have. Works for me
Its always a week or two longer than what the breeder tells you. Just gotta watch the plant. It will tell you.
