Indoor Sir Dankalot / Milkmann does Critical Kush & Green Crack, Autopots & Biotabs

[milkmann]

UPDATE: Green Crack Day 23 // Critical Kush Day 30

Worryingly, neither plant showing any sign of pre-flowering. I'm not sure what to do. The Green Crack isn't even showing sex yet, the Critical has pistils on the nodes but nothing more. Going to switch to 12/12 if nothing has happened by week 6. It's unlucky enough for that to happen to one, but to two...? Not sure what it is, but this has never happened to me before.

Growing really well, especially the Critical, throwing out more tops than I can keep up with LST. Not a single mark on the plants, all leaves look lush green and healthy - albeit the GK looking slightly pale still - and the Autopot system seems to be in full flow! Temps all good in the tent, light on full-spectrum - not much else to report! Just need to see some flowers...

Less talk, more pics.

Any advice appreciated! @Biotabs F69 ever heard of slow females using Biotabs?

Cheers all!

If you combining the Biotabs with the charge this is no problem at all.
Although if you combine the Biotabs line with the Silicium flash and with the charge. there is to much nitrogen available, and that causes to delay/ prelong the flowering.
This counts for small plants that can't convert all this nitrogen fast . When you have a big branchy plant they will be able to handle this.
In the test we have done with over feeding with these products we got really strechy open buds, when it is a smal plant.
When it is a big plant fat stinky dens buds..

Have a green grow!

Very interesting information, thank you very much! So for next time, would you say to avoid using all 3 products? Perhaps just use the Silicum flash and biotabs instead of Charge as well? Should I feed them PK tea to give them a flowering boost now? I dont want to end up with really loose buds as I only have these 2 plants to smoke!

We have some slight bud formation now but it seems to have stopped developing over the last few days. I'll upload some pics later on

PIC UPDATES:

THey are now on day on week 5/6 respectively. The criticial is just starting to show some buddiness. Great growth, very disappointing by way of bud formation. I believe what @Biotabs F69 said about the excess nitrogen is correct and would make sense. YOu can see how much stalk is going on too, where there should be bud. I'm going to feed them both PK teas and see if I can help restore some P and K to the mix, unless anyone has any suggestions? Having to defoliate quite aggressively now to keep humidity below 70%. Probably stressing the hell out of them. Next run in this cabinet I'm going to stick to 1 x 15L autopot and mainline, but without the heavy defoliation, and see if I can get some nice results that way.

On the plus side, I'm quite happy with the LST I've done on it, if it was budding properly I'd have quite a few tops! I just lost the motivation the last week or so of training because of the lack of buds.

Happy growing everyone!

Update: Got rid of the Green Crack, stupidly. She just looked so spindly and sorry. Critical Kush is on week 10, and I think she's got about another 7-10 days to go. There are the last few bits of white hairs and the first trichomes are turning amber now. With Indicas I usually tend to let them run to about 25% amber. I gave her a final dose of p-k tea on Monday. She's eating from the leaves now, also going to slowly lower the lights over the next few days and begin to lengthen the hours from 20-4 to 19-5, and then going 16/8 for the last few days while trying to drastically drop temps, to enhance the purples and get that last bit of frost. All in all I think I will get about 2 ounces dry of good bud, not the best because of the early mess up but oh well! The quality of the buds look absolutely fantastic. I didnt take pictures of the main colas, just a couple of random ones. I would say the density would be about a 7/10. Nothing spectacular. Started my next grow off now, a Six Shooter/MBAP by Memphisto, and an LSD-25 / Sour Melon.
