Day 57 Auto x, Day 50 Royal Cheese
Thanks for chiming in and keeping up, much appreciated. And thanks for the rep!
Royal cheese has stretched taller than auto x and is spreading out nicely! She's doing great. She just started budding and is still continuing to stretch!
Auto x is packin on the buds and is a sugar factory! Colas are already rock hard and sticky! Smell is intensely skunky.
Still using Liquid Koolbloom as a booster and picked up Floranectar to supplment some sugar/carb for more resin production. Heard a lot of good things on it plus it's safer than unsulphured molasses in the res..
Speaking of molasses, I diluted some last week and added it to my new res change along with some aquashield bennies. The next day, the res was FILLED with bennie foam thriving all over. I let it sit for a week like this while topping off a gallon every day because she's been really thirsty. The bennies definitely helped with nute uptake and did no harm to the girl and all the molasses was eaten up by the bennies within a few days.
Discontinuing the use of bennies and molasses and using floranectar this week because the plant needs as much sugar as it can take during the final weeks.
Also finishing with foxfarm Cha Ching at a 1/4 dose per gallon as it is VERY hot. Cha Ching is a heavy phosphor feed that increases resin and dense bud production in the last few weeks.
If you want anymore details on my feeding program, just ask.

The roots look brown/dark colored because of past use with liquid karma, bennie tea and molasses. Don't be alarmed. New growth at the very bottom is crystal white... White roots are great but they aren't the 'best' and colored roots aren't the 'worst' thing to happen. It all depends on your nute program. Some nutes are dyed. The only bad part with root color is when root rot sets in. You can tell by the smell and by the roots looking like a dark sludge.. It gets pulled off very easily too.
Hope that helped clear the air for anyone that was curious.
