Yea the stretch is gonna be crazy! Im excited lol im not too worried about any extra training or trimming or anything like that while im gone, really all im worried about is catching the perfect harvest time. If im gone then theres a chance i can miss that window by just a wee bit. Wouldnt be the end of the world, but id love to see it in person at its absolute peak lolHere comes the stretch......
I wouldn't worry too much about your being gone. A week is no big deal. When you're in flower there really isn't much to do as most of the training and stuff is done in the veg phase setting up for flower. You've already done that.
What I would do is give them a good watering right before you leave. This should leave only one watering that you might have to have someone come in and do for you before you get back. I'm assuming you're watering every 3 - 4 days?
The day you flip give them a good defoliation. I've noticed when I do it this way it seems the bud sites pop up quicker. I'm sure there is some sort of hormonal signalling thing going on that induces this but I can't tell you what that is. It's just an anectdotal observation on my part after a few tent runs.
I just flipped the light schedule and spectrum to flower last night :) il be posting lots of pictures as the process goes on. Cant wait to see the first signs of flower!Your call. Just don't wait too long as the tent is filling up quickly.
What did you feed them last time and how much? It could be a calmag deficiency since youre using distilled water. Or maybe any other mineral since distilled water doesnt contain any. Could also be a bit of K excess but I will have a better idea when I know how they ate.Im noticing little brown tips on a few leaves and then i noticed this today when i checked. It was only on this leaf, all the others seemed fine aside from some burnt tips. I havent added any nutrients at all, just been watering with distilled water. Any ideas what this could be? Maybe the roots reached a pocket of nutrients and it overloaded a little bit? The temps and humidity havent changed from normal, and i just flipped to flowering light schedule yesterday. I clipped this leaf off and those discolored parts were a little crunchy.
This looks exactly the same as when i thought those leaves had light burn, but this leaf is definitely not getting too much light, its at the bottom of the canopy. So that combined with burnt tips tells me probably nute burn. Any thoughts?
I havent added any nutrients at all, this is purple cow indicanja soil, the website said dont add unless needed and just water with RO or distilled water. So it kinda sounds like i might need to grab a little calmag possibly? And i didnt see that on that leaf in the background when i was checking in person, i think that might be an illusion from the shadow and the camera picking it up weird, but now im gonna check it again when i get home today.What did you feed them last time and how much?

Agreed. I usually run my grows at around 80° - 82° which lands me at around 77° leaf temp. I usually keep my humidity at 60% and drop it to 50% upon flip.70°F-80°F is more than okay for your ladies during the vegetative stage. You can go as high as 90°F during this stage. Right now I'm growing my second round of Purple Punch running average temps of 85°F with average RH of 70% and she's been really happy. I wouldn't worry too much about getting temps down until you're in flower, but even then 70°F-80°F is still fine. At that point you'd just want to reduce your humidity to around 45%-50%.
I've grown in Indicanja before and at best, all it needed was a hair of CalMag. Your plant looks awesome. Good job
The transplanting was a suggestion for a smaller pot than 7 gallons. With 5 gallons you will need to feed it with bloom and bloom booster for best results. The person I messaged at purple cow gave me a recipe for reusing the media for multiple grows as well as the suggestion that for the best results use the entire bag in a single pot.Alright so i went searching around and found a few things. I keep seeing conflicting info on the indicanja soil so i wanna get this straight asap.
So earlier in this thread @TheGoldenRoad said he grew with indicanja and it just needed a small amount of calmag. Maybe he can chime in and let us know if he had any problems or had to transplant.
Also @AZreefer said he spoke with purple cow customer service directly about indicanja and they said roughly the same thing. Maybe he can hop in as well to share a little info because i cant remember if it was this thread or a different one where he was talkin about emailing them.
And then i went online just a bit ago and found some more info from someone else who messaged them as well, i have that info in the screenshot below. But basically this soil is supposed to be from seed to harvest, so im a little confused now.
@Eledin can you lead me to where you saw it recommend transplanting and recommending not starting a seed in it? I havent found anything about that anywhere iv looked, but i might just be missing it.
If what the guy in the screenshot says is true, i might be seeing nutrient deficiencies for 2 reasons.
#1 would be that i used a 5 gallon pot instead of the recommended 7 gallon, so maybe there just isnt quite as much nutes as there should be with a full sized pot.
#2 is i have had this plant in veg for about a week longer than recommended by the soil manufacturer. Roughly 7 weeks. So that could also be a factor in whats happening.
Any information is much appreciated!

Sorry, I went to answer this after I smoked and got lost. I grow in 10 gallon pots and do not transplant since I'm growing autos (I do not recommend transplanting autos). I also keep the soil moist with little runoff as to not wash out everything in the soil. Bit of CalMag during flower. If you are thinking of transplanting a photo I would recommend following the instructions. I don't see how this soil could possibly last the entire cycle of a photo with just water. I hope this helps.Alright so i went searching around and found a few things. I keep seeing conflicting info on the indicanja soil so i wanna get this straight asap.
