They look great, the jewelers loupes can be hard to use I half to pretty much get mine almost right up to my eyeball and right up close to the plant I also use a led flashlight or check under the grow light for added light.

Day 51... Well no sooner than I was giving up on plant 2 not autoflowering she is finally flowering. She actually began flowering on day 48 and is looking pretty good, slightly taller and bushier than 1 and 3 from her vegging for a few weeks longer. Still feeding all 3 plants 1 cap full of ff tiger bloom per 5 gallon every watering which has been every three days since last update.

The last 2 waterings I've decided to give a try adding 1 cup of skim milk along with 1 tblsp of molasses per gallon of water, I don't know if it's making a difference but as long as I don't see any harm I'll continue to do so. All 3 plants are responding well to the feedings, next watering I'll add an additional half cap of tiger bloom to the 5 gallons to see how they react. Using that along with a non organic fert might be useless but I figure why not as long as it doesn't hurt.

If you use bottle nutes molasses is great and cal/mag or some epsom salt will help too.

Thanks for the heads up on epsom salt, I'll look into that.

Milk huh? Sounds interesting I’ve never heard of it as a additive. What it good for?

Well not 100% sure but I've read and watched videos on people that swear by it. Powdered milk also. Some claim it increases trichome production, I wouldn't bet my life on it but at minimum I'm guessing the calcium and other nutrients found in milk help the plant. If you do a search online about using milk or milk with molasses there's lots of info to get a better idea on it. I use skim since the fats in whole milk may go rancid and stink.

2 sprays of a 4:1 water:milk solution 12 hours apart, on plants in full flower, sorted out a white powdery mildew problem my last grow. No issues with it after and no negative effects on flowers. I don't know about feeding it but it's great for that!

Thanks for the info, I actually remember now reading it helps to get rid of white powdery mildew. That's great to hear it worked for you using it that way.

Day 53. It's looking to me like they're getting close to the end, it looks like there's some amber showing but I'm not sure if it's the trichs or the hairs I'm seeing, I can't get a good pic of what I see off the camera but I don't trust my eyes since I have very poor vision. As much as im getting impatient, I do hope there's still some growing to do. I feel like I'll be lucky to get over an oz dried each plant for how 1 and 3 look so far. For now I'll be just using plain water as the leaves are yellowing on plant 3, plant 2 no yellowing yet. I'll post an update in a few days.

I’ve been told to look at the bud and not the sugar leaves so make sure your checking those too.
