day28 - preflower!!!

View attachment 210907

I have a good news and a bad one.
the bad one is, that I've topped a lady by acciedent, the goot thing is, I found out that preflowering started probably this night!!!!

As no one is responding to my everyday posting, I decided to do less updates. (maybe I try to give too much love to them. I should let them grow without looking into the box every day 2-3 times )


on Wendsday I will maybe do a detailed SCROG picture.
so have a nice monday

Cheers,

Im still here duder. Life has me posting less and reading just the same

Yep, same here. I am in for the long haul but I am normally quiet unless I feel like it is important. No need in me shitting up your thread with nonsense not related to your particular grow. Just wanted to chime in for some moral support!

maybe ur right, I'm on 10-12 reports reading, but not always writing because its not much to say or nothing more than giving :five:

thx for the support dude,
what do you think about the "super-auto-problem"

preflower started on day 28, is that realy late? or just a bit above normal automatic flowering? (seller said something like 7 weeks till flower, wich would have been actually double the time)

45-60 days flowering is a big range given by the Seedseller.
any hint on shortlisting the given range to a more acurat selection? ehm or any hints on reduce the time, the flowering needs to full stage.
(bad english, hope you understand what I mean^^)

I looked back at notes from my last grow. I wasn't specific but it appeared they began between day 22 and 28 for me. That seems right in line with your grow. Also, considering the problems you had during the early stages, it is possible you stunted them a bit setting your grow frame back a little.

45-60 days flowering is a big range given by the Seedseller.

From everything I have read, never trust the seed descriptions time frame, they always undershoot to make it seem more attractive. Also it is very possible with the range being so wide that maybe we are dealing with several different phenotype that flower at different stages.

I think I understand what you are asking, can you speed up the process? Those are genetics, not much to control there. Keep them happy and healthy.

I hope that helps a little, best of luck bro. There is nothing more nerve wracking than the wait.

been there bro -- could be a factor of early issues therefore pushing back the date of preflowers as "a420er" said above

autos will flower and finish whenever they please! unlike photos where you choose the flowering/vegging time.

as far as finishing early -- my suggestion is to start feeding BLOOM nutrients earlier (around week 4-5) vs (week 5-6).
- [plus side] doing so will have a difference harvest time of (8-10 weeks) vs (10-12 weeks)
- [negative side] smaller plant = smaller yield

also! keep us posted as much as possible bro -- would be nice to see a complete journal regardless of the feedback
this will also help the new growers out -- specially if they have the same size case or close to it

day 30 - SCROG pictures
(next time I will try to LST, because getting those tiny tips trough those holes ist pretty dangerous, because of breaking 'them ladies heads...)
(and due to the fact, they dont gain much vertical growth, leafes cant positioned well. they curl arround to get back to the light, wich I think costs unneeded energy)

ehm, I totaly forgot about nutes... as I'm on day 30 now, I def. should start to give nutes now.
I think I would start with 1/2 of TNT-Complex and maybe a 1/8 of bloom complex. (for deepflowering I got some phosphor plus)
I also would give some super vit and power-zymes beside, wich I gave by spraying last 2 weeks. (not the zymes, lol)


on my last grow I gave nutes only once a week, at beginning. should I do so or is the time ok to give nutes every time I water them? (I have 0.6l pots, but will upgrade as they go to flower)
I read something on a special feeding plan for micro, but I cant remember where.
( it was like 1day feed, 1 day water, 1 feed, 2 day water... couldn't find out the cycle)

day 31 - just lowered the platform, to give the ladies a little more room.
(short update, but maybe useful)

today I began feeding on daily base
(please give feedback on the feeding cycle, or if I should do it only every second day and give pure water in between)

1.75ml TNT Complex / 1l (less than 1/2 dosis)
2.5ml Rootbooster / 1l (1/2 dosis)
1ml powerZyme / 1 l (1/2 dosis)
1 drop superfit / 1l (should be okay even if they say 1 drop per 4.5l, I think its just wasting money because its only vitamins wich I give them since sprouding)
2ml BloomComplex / 1l (1/4 dosis to give some power to preflower. plants will stay smaller/less yield, but as I have 3 ladies in there this might be ok)


Area51
(yeah its clichee, but I played a little photoshop and wanted to show)

scrog - at full view
(hope colors are quite true, because I have some lightish deficiet I think. So I startet to give nutes)

horizontal - to watch growth

also it would be nice if you could feedback on the scrog.:group:
I feel LST'ing would be better niext time, to get buds more precisesly to spezific position, as all of this should be done in a micro more acurat. (+bringing more light to lower leafes...)

feeding is dependant on user :thumbs:

you can choose to do a feed > feed > feed schedule or you can use feed > water >feed (up to you)
my first grow was feed > water > feed (just because its what it said on the schedule) this time around ive been doing feed > feed >feed

:eye: multiple budsites bro -- looking good :dance:
