So when and where is the sampling going to take place?

I'm ready now lol nice grow

Have a couple weeks before she can be tested! I am happy to say I see her bulking up Daily. White Crack tends to bulk up fast in the last few weeks. I know I will just keep getting better, so I am really excited to see how it goes. For just adding water, it is great! With proper intervention I will be golden. I will Write it out, so I have a Guide. I now know what to do and when. If a couple plants don't do 100%, that is ok...that is why it is called a control plant. I should still reach my Goal of 3oz. The 5oz goal I totally obtainable with top Dressing. Probably more than 5. She is huge. So I know a small/Medium sized strain will get large get if you train her. But Flowering times could be improved, I will focus on prepping for a faster transition moving forward. Hence starting top dressing in late veg. When I see preflowering, it's time to get serious and have my regimen.

I don't think it's Mag overdose. The BE is more likely to cause you issues. I would ride it out. But be aware of BE. It's not needed and can cause problems if you add too much. Sweet Candy never caused me any issues. I used to use 2.0g per gal of Cal-Mag. It's not too much for Coco and Cobs. Your leaves won't get better at this point. But in the future I would try a plant without BE to see if that is the cause or not. Good luck, peace slowandeasy

My 1st go with MC and my plants took forever to flower. All I was using was MC and calmag. They just keep growing, so I switched to back to my AN bloom base and additives and she flowered. Was to late and didnt develope completely so got the rest cause I heard MC didnt have enough pk so I got the BE. The the issue the BE itself? Could I use another PK booster instead, or is the problem using a pk booster with MC? I used to use AN and lineup and loved it, but took me 45 mins or more to mix up so I switched cause of easy and everyone was getting good results. I dont want to have issues again with them switching to flower, so nervous not to use a pk booster. I have a big bag of the BE so it will get used even if its slowly. Nothing is wasted here just how i am. I will stop the BE for now, should I use my Hammer head or just MC an SC? I appreciate the help bud! I'm still learning on the fly here no one i know that grows so learning on AFN and in the tent lol. Im better learning by watching and doing. So reading I get lost sometimes and not fully understanding what was said. Watching someone just clicks better and I'll get much faster. Deficiencies are my weak link havent had a lot so when it does happen dont have any experience to draw from. Most look like they be could be multiple things so tough to pin point.

How much BE you using? MC will definitely extend your Veg time vs AN, which leads to longer over all grow times. Use it lightly. I honestly didn't use it much because I think it is too strong for some plants. You have a few problems and it is hard to pinpoint how to fix it. When you flush 5 gal of water through a plant in Coco during flower it can cause more issues than if you don't flush. You basically starved the plant and then that can cause deficiency and or pH issues. Best way to grow in Coco is ro feed often, but less amounts. Never letting the Coco dry out. Always feeding nutes, never just water. If you dose BE too much or too early it can cause issues. With any pK booster it is better to start low and increase slowly. You also have to monitor thw pH when using pK boosters. They can raise the pH beyond normal values. So many people get comfortable with NOT checking pH and assume it's good. Or adding a little bit of something won't effect it. Never get lazy with pH checking if you use pK booster especially. Honestly at this point I wouldn't switch nutes, because you won't know if it made it worse or better. But definitely check your EC and pH. So you have a up to date idea of what your mix is strength and pH wise. Good luck, peace slowandeasy

Started with 1g up to 1.5g now. You mentioned coco a few times, I'm not using coco if that's what you meant? Not sure how much a difference that makes????? I test the ph of everything I make, if any left I test again before I feed.

My bad, I use Coco. I am going by what I do.

Day 70

She is looking bad , but still chugging along. I gave her a feeding today minus the BE. That may be causing an issue. I think I just under fed her with the fear of to much nitrogen during flower. At this point goal is to just finish strong. I checked trichs and a lot of amber. I went to do a more complete inspection but left scope on and batteries are dead lol. I ordered some and have to try to use another light source to chech again in the meantime. I also ordered new fancy trimming scissors, but ordered the wrong ones. The ways it's been going for me lately hahaha. I ordered the correct pair and will return the other pair when they arrive. These are coated with fluorine to prevent sticking, it's like teflon from what I hear. I'll get into those when they arrive, it said the 12th-13th but maybe sooner. Here's a few from today, she still is quite frosty so I think she will be ok.

she is frosty still. its all about the trichs, not the plant material. so ya, not a big deal right.

Let us know how the new scissors work when you get some time on them. everything looks potent.

Ya, but she come be better and bigger I'm sure. I'm still trying to get my MC right. I'm sure it's mostly me not using it correctly. According to the one free sample bag I was under feeding her so it was probably me lol. She will be coming down soon tho, this coming week or the next.

Will do, its weird her bud looks good but leaves are going fast. So sticky I have to use GOJO, little tip I got on AFN. GOJO works the best I have found for your hands to remove trichs. She will make great rosin I bet. I got me a bunch of grocery brown bags to complete drying in so I'm ready.
