New Grower Northern Storm Auto DWC

[KkB]

Thanks, Jingo!

The farthest along are a single Big Bud, 3 Critical Purple Kush, and one Northern Storm. They all started showing flowers april 12th.

I have another NS in DWC (last pic) on megacrop and sweet candy, and she's just starting to fill in the buds between the nodes and put weight on, but is already getting frosty as hell. Shes bright, does that look ok? During the stretch, she put more distance between the nodes than the others (although the biggest NS, who is in preflower, is shaping up the same.

The Big Bud Auto is SOOO FROSTY! Its beautiful. The Critical Purples are huge, not very tall, with several soda can size and larger buds on all of them, and we took most of the popcorn off early on. I used koolbloom, gh bloom stage mix, and beastie blooms in very small amounts. They had their first dose of cha ching last night.

The majority of the large trichs on the leaf parts of the buds are milky with a few amberish ones. The finer ones on the pistils? are clear. But all of the fat mushroom looking ones are milky except for some small buds that arent getting the good light. The lower most colas, really, around the lower perimeter of each plant crown with the smallest nugs.

We are looking for alot of those pistils to retractback into the calyxes, right? Get denser and solidify? I'm trying to get a grip on how far out these closer ones are, and keep second guessing my estimates.
I have a little pocket scope that is lighted and 40x, but it is hard as hell getting a steady look at that level, so I'm getting a cheap loupe set soon.

Any ideas?

Also, two of the Critical Purple ladies that dont look as far along as the third CP, are showing the yellowing dying off on some lower leaves, but the one with buds that look riper isn't eating leaves. Figured she would show it first, or do I have some kind of deficiency going on in flower? Yikes

I freaked out day before last when i noticed and fed them all some cal mag, been using mostly mag sulfate thru the grow when feeding. I do realize this can be normal, but I cant figure out how far along they are. Wish someone with experienced eyes could show me what I'm looking for.

Damn I must be stoned, I thought you just picked up all those Bloom nutrients and haven't used them yet. I was wondering how you got such big buds on a couple of those.

When you're in flower you definitely want to be using that cal mag all the way through until you flush if your of the mind to. The difference on the bottom of plants on the same strain could be a lot of things. More than likely judging by the overall health of your plants I would say you're just dealing with different phenotype with slightly different feed requirements. I'm always happy to run a little underfed with Autos than I am to be overfed. But if you're just now introducing cal-mag that could be all it takes to stop those lower leaves from yellowing out.
