80cm | 180W | Totemic - Sugar Widow | Flower Day 39
Older pics (24Feb), taken before I lost the top of one main cola to early stage bud rot, because I didn't provide enough canopy airflow (forgot to plug in the side fans). Stupid.. stupid mistake. Not the end of the world, but definitely not as cool looking for pics anymore. Monitoring closely.
Yeah the drier you manage to let them get allows the taproot to really dive deep in search of moisture. The bigger the root gets the bigger the top can get.
When i plant my seeds after a 24h soak, its into 15l pots, which are watered thoroughly to the point of runoff. Then i start feeling the weight of the pots day after day. Only water when it has lost most of the water weight.
Latest harvest was an exodus cheese busy drying. Biggest challenge has been the height, as each space is <1m, so lots of training required Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Use humidity domes... no watering and air humidity stays high. Plants in germination love very humid air, the dome will keep it that way... over 80%. Veg around 60%... flower 40%.
Totemic already said it.. lift the pot, then you know if you have to water or not.
Would also say is washed over PM.. once dry will become a nightmare scenario.
Defoil as a first step and clean out as many leaves with PM on as possible. Plants still needs some energy so you can't over do it either.
Over all... if you run into very heavy issues.. chop and dump makes most sense. If you live in a PM dangerous area.. you have to apply protection before it even starts, that is your best chance to get a harvest.
In your case I would just defoil and spray. You are not in flower.. so give it a good blast with Copper Soap.. max dosage. Will clean the PM off the leaves.. once you go flower, can't use the harsh stuff anymore. And spray the plants top to bottom and under the leaves.
Hi. Think I may have an issue. Some very big plants, Ghost Train Haze, only had one seed and wanted to save a clone mother. Will be a shame to lose them now. What can I do?
Been a minute. Seriously running out of veg space And the flowering box looking good Been getting into a nice rotation of harvesting and replacing one plant every month or so, while cloning and vegging up top. Upgraded to a Blumat system in December running 6 carrots in top vegging area and 3 in the flowering bottom running off one reservoir and been working well. Almost lasted the two weeks we went on holiday and o ly lost one plant then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Baking soda has been proved by many gardeners to be effective in treating powdery mildew. Mix 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1 litre of water. Spray plants thoroughly, as the solution will only kill fungus that it comes into contact with. Milk spray is another effective home remedy. Then take cuttings before the plant starts flowering.
In those 3 weeks, how many times did you water?
I have 2 week old autos in 15l that haven't been watered since the initial watering when i planted the seeds...
I clearly did something wrong. 3 weeks from sprouting. Pointless trying to save it, it basically starts flowering in 2 weeks time. Resetting this grow and popping the 2nd seed.
I think it's mostly just cosmetic, but I hear you on the rotating to prevent flat spots. I would find it to be a bit of a mission so I personally wouldn't do it just for that reason
This is currently my go-to method. Also keeps the sugar trim nice and tidy too for more quality extracts.
I own and have used racks/nets, but at the moment I prefer hang drying.
I will use the racks/nets if I have to dry more than say one tent at a time. If it's just one tent at a time I just hang the harvest in the same tent.
I find that when using the racks/nets you can sometimes come out with slightly compressed/flat buds due to gravity pushing down on the sides of the nugs whereas that phenomenon does not happen when hanging the plant upside-down to dry.
Chopped the strawberry Vostok x fastbuds Pineapple Express the weekend. Pretty happy for a winter indoor grow. Temps were around 20 for most of the grow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
