New Grower Name That Problem....

All those bud site, the ones with the white pistols, will continue to grow and fatten. Those will be your buds.

Reason I asked about the pH is the yellowing of your lower leaves. If your pH is still good, then there's a deficiency going on.

I used the epson/molasses when you told me to. My last feeding was 1-2-3 GMB. Wouldn't that feed enough of everything they needed? If not, am I back to the Cal/Mag?
After all the advice I slowed the feedings down.

 

[Muddy]

The molasses and epsom salts aren't going to do as good a job as a cal/mag supplement for treating a deficiency. I know you feed that to them, but if the pH isn't remaining constant the plants won't be able to absorb them. That's why I asked on the pH, to make sure it was still in line.

I'll be watering again soon and I'll remember to take another measure.
Thanks Muddy.

BigBuddha, I sure like the simplicity of your message. So true.

Ok, my mentors, pro growers, (i.e. Gods)

Wednesday was the beginning of week 8. From the looks of these girls how much longer do I have to keep them alive? I must say autos are extremely temperamental and HARD to grow. So what I started with the wrong soil, switched growing systems at the very beginning, over watered and fed them, and keep them in above average heat. It's NOT MY Fault!

No..... seriously. Today I watered Bub1 with 6.5pH RO water and runoff was 6.5 I'm not going to do anything until I get advice on what, when, and how much to feed these girls. For those who haven't read, I use Advanced Nutes Grow Micro Bloom liquid. My last feeding was 4-30 at 400ppm/ 6.3pH at a ratio of 1-2-3 GMB. Other than the watering just now I on hold. Bub1 pot was VERY light and Bub2 is so so. I find spots on the leaves at the stem/ topside and a little lower/ topside with yellowing continuing. I figured the feeding last week would give them all they needed.

I have 3 other strains in much worse conditions in the same soil and doing better. I do see that autos are touchy.

Oh no...no no. I'm scheduling about another 2-3 weeks for 10 to 11 total, the last week to flush. I've looped a trichome. In fact, I'm drooling on these just starting to frost up. They're so cute. :drool:
I was wondering about the bud growth and reading here that the trichs aren't the real test to harvest but leaves falling off and yellowing, as well.

I just fed the grow room of White Widow, Swiss Cheese, and Bag Sativa 1-2-3 GMB 450ppm/ 6.3pH. and have under a gallon mixed up. Is this my next auto feeding mix? or push the ppm to 600? Nothing I've done so far has corrected my probs in the last post.

 

[Muddy]

I wouldn't be too concerned. Yes, they were overfed a bit but you're pH is good and consistent. At 8 weeks I'd say they are just starting to finish up and the yellowing is natural as the plants start to feed off the energy stored in the leaves. I would expect them to go about another 3 weeks. During that time the leaves will continue to die off and the buds will thicken up.

I would expect them to go about another 3 weeks.

Thanks Muddy.
I have 5/23 harvest date on my calendar. Of course I'll watch the trichs but that's what I calculated from the seed pop. My problem is what to feed them? I have 1-2-3 GMB 520ppm/6.3pH mixed up in the grow room. Should I feed that tomorrow? I think the Advanced Nutes calculator has EC at about 1176 here on out. My ppm meter is .5 calc so that would be 588ppm. I can add some to bring up the ppm to that if advisable.

Don't think you really need the Grow or Micro at this point. One, maybe one or two more half strength feedings of Bloom and then only plain pHed water after that.
