Look great @Illini4life chugging right along lol sorry bout that a few post ago i thought i was on my journal I thought I clicked my link but oh well but best to be polite any way n welcome ppl every where lol lol but side not how far behind would you say mine are remember they are all 20 days from seed going into soil n coffee filter n 18 or 17 days from sprout and broke ground on day 5 so if you count the day they came up n stood talk with cotyledones then bout 13 days give or take lmao sorry rambling on n on lol thank u

Oh you are all good man. Yeah I have the date written on my sticks that are hidden in the mess of leaves now that correspond to the date I planted in the ground. Just counting day one as the first day anything really happened. When they popped up that was day one for me. Most people on this site use that as day one. Don't be fooled by the 7-8 week time they quote you. Hold on the flower nutes till the stretch stops and you should be able to extend that to anywhere from 9-12 weeks depending on the strain. If you go full flower nutes right at first signs of preflower they will end at quoted times by the breeder, but just keep em chugging on the veg food and your yield should be better. I have done way too much research on these plants bahahahaha

ok thank k you so much I wasn't sure cause I was thinking if the was 20 21 days frkm seed then something majorly wrong but from sprout I'll say 14days to be safe they popped up out of the ground on 5-20-2019 so 14-16 days old

~73°F lights off, 81°F lights on
~50-65%RH
-No water
-No nutes
-18/6 light cycle
-Light distance 24 in

So not much to update today. The widows and the zkittlez are looking good. Besides some adjusting of their tie downs I didn't do much besides rotate a quarter turn. The widow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] is getting thirsty and I almost watered again today but still no signs of droopy leaves so I'm going to hold til tomorrow when the zkittlez will definitely need to be fed. About 3/4 inch growth today from yesterday and had to move light up to keep at 24in from canopy.

Daily update

Day 32 widows
Day 27 Zkittlez

~73°F lights off, 80°F lights on
~55-70%RH
-1,250 ml RO WATER per widow, 1,000 ml RO water zkittlez
-15ml/gal fox farm big bloom (micro nutes)
-5ml/gal fox farm grow big 6-4-4
-4ml/gal botanicare cal-mag plus 2-0-0

Girls were thirsty! So they got a nice hefty watering today. I rotated and defoliated some lower leaves that had dipped down into the soil and we're not looking too hot. Not a whole lot but just a few on the widows. I upped my veg feed to half strength today, I'll watch and see how the girls react to it but I think they will do just fine, fingers crossed. About 3/4 inch vertical growth today. Well til tomorrow!

Daily update

Day 33 widows
Day 28 Zkittlez

~74°F lights off, 80°F lights on
~50-60%RH
-No water
-No nutes
-18/6 light cycle
-Light distance 24 in

I defoliated some leaves that were just looking pitiful in the undergrowth of both of the widows. I also severely adjusted the training wires on widow [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] because she seems to be struggling compared to her sisters. I think that she will start to fill in more like widow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] after these adjustments. I noticed some of the pistils on the top of widow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] on one of the secondary branches was starting to turn red. I don't know what that means because these girls are a long way from being done. So many bud sites! I'm so hyped and ready to see these start to fatten up. As they grow. The main cola on each of these plants looks impressive and if they fill in fat I'll be a happy camper, the secondary branches are starting to fill in nicely as well. Besides that widow [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] and zkittlez are growing absolutely great. I noticed a few red/purpleish stems on the zkittlez but I upped the cal-mag dose yesterday and I think that will solve that issue. I'm thinking it is a magnesium def but I'm quite unsure. It's pretty much impossible to od them on cal-mag, so I'm almost running at full strength now for the botanicare cal-mag. Doesn't seem like there was as much vertical growth today as before, only about 1/2 inch. I am thinking it may be time for a flush of the soil but I don't know. I have heard plenty of people say that their grow is just fine without a flush ever. I don't know, if you guys have any suggestions let me know! Well til tomorrow!

Lookin good, come on white widow! I never flush except when she is ready to die, unless some one with more smarts tells me to. Try turning off those led's when you snap a pic, get some regular light, it won't hurt your girls for a short period of time with out the led's on. I think cal-mag is a must when you use RO water and led's! Your girls look beautiful------

 

[baked in the bluegrass]

You seeing any frost yet on those girls @Illini4life ??
My 2 cents on the flushing question...i dont plan on flushing at all, i will cut the feed back through the end but probs no flushing. Im using megacrop and some roots organic additives so im semi-organic and ive been feeding fairly light.
Course that could change in a heartbeat lol so ill keep that as a last case scenario.
