I see pistols no male nodes that's a good sign
I think so
thank you I'm glad first ever plant fingers crossed a good summer
thank you 🤞🌼
also any budget friendly advice wouldn't go a miss ' first timer wasn't sure on sex so willing to spend more on her now haha I brought some Miracle-Gro higher in (N) then ill switch to tomato feed in flowering phase high in p water every night aswell etc feed weekly or should I more in veg state thxs keep it simple for me guys 👱♀️
also wanting to no when to repot her into a big bucket and what compost to use I can just buy a bag off
As a first time grower, I also went with Miracle-Gro but I noticed the soil would always be warm and hot. I do not believe that their soil is best for any kind of plant you plan on consuming or in this case, smoking. If you are on a budget, I recommend making your own soil as Fox Farms and Sunshine arent too budget friendly. All youre gonna need is some medium, like coco coir or soil, and then add some inoculants, like biochar, myco, worm castings, and then pick out some fertilizer when the soil runs out of nutes for the plant. For fertilizer, i recommend something on the organic side (check out my grow) and there are many options to chose from though research may be needed. Cheers!
I would actually repot ger immediately in her forever home. If you’re outside and doing pots, go for a minimum of 20 gallons fabric pots. Fabric pots help aerate the soil and are easy to use. Definitely invest in some myco inncoculents when repotting to ease the stress on the plant.
growing fast tbf in 70L soil I brought big bud for when she flowers I'm assuming late July august I've heard of topping cutting her head off so she grows 2 ?
yes topping will make the plant start to produce bushier on the sides
few things,
tried some LST nearly broke her oppies so now I'm just trying to bring her down
also topped her twice! ✂️
when would flowering begin whats the first sign?
and should I be feeding her double so she grows more at this stage
cheers
started with tomorto feed half dose then full dose then big bud next week she's very durable hoping she's started her flowering and fingers crossed 8 to 13 weeks chopping her down
u need some water brother them leaves sagging like they gangsters lol !!!!
any more advice first plant
if still deleafing, (ive been doing this too and it seems to help especially with LST) snip some of the bigger fan leaves (not all tho) to allow better light penetration to slightly lower nodes. other than that looking good colowise. no discoloration in the leaves. natural sunlight?
Green house yes mine gals also unknown strain hopefully a gooden I've took most off the lower bit and hard to know what to make on top don't wanna stress her
yeah id look into LST (light stress training) on the next grow. that way your top kinda comes from the middle and you get alot more growth without SEVERELY stressing the plant. mine are mostly outside grows (putting a greenhouse in next weekend) but rn mine are also in more direct sunlight and i trimmed bigger fans about 3 days ago and they're LOVING it. Hence the bigger fan removal. But yeah bro looking nice and healthy 👌🏽
I did some LST then when I brought the tarp was no point drawing her down when now I had to lift her up in the frame couldn't fit the trap over still a few weeks off 12 12 naturally pain then I topped her twice multiable heads she's got and big bud is amazing
yeah that 12/12 fr is my nemesis rn cuz the way my small ass yards set up the trees above are dense so I gotta move em when the canopy grows in to make sure they get the right amount of sun that 12/12 is deff a pain
I didn't even think about the light situation till I needed it right rain tarp has defo done it tho should naturally be there in 3 weeks thank God last stretch then drying and curing should be fun eh haha
yeah man I'm excited for my girls too (3 confirmed 2 are late). Been storing up jars pretty hard lol
something I havnt done yet il expect alot of jars 🤞
same here bro!! I got 20+ i hope its enough keep updated and hope your yield is satisfactory 🙏
only some off the branches only at the top south facing has turned yellow and crisp I'm assuming the sun ill have to protect her peak sun times
any ideas or tips
do you rotate your plants? I turn my plants 45 degrees every day.
I didn't even think of that I thought the sun would just get round to the back eventually I will Start haha
the sun can reflect off of windows, and other objects, that can create hot spots.
cant wait till I can fuck this trap off 2 more weeks hopefully
tarpaulin ** the racks in there so the tarp dosent sit directly on her also getting some mushroom growth every couple days
at first I thought it was a spider web then I looked closer inside and I knew it was rot it was only in my main big buds so annoying dehumidifier brought and on today fingers crossed no more also a fan on 24hr as she's in a gren house should of been on sooner weeks ago!
might have to cut her down early if shit weather
😋
so the pictures say it all my first girl has gone pretty well considering the weather some mold here n there found 2 nanners got them removed carefully! my green house isn't the best haha she's getting rhe cut at 10 weeks premature i dont think i can wait longer with the temp and now nanners to hunt for overall amazing though smells great
nice job!!! looks like you may have some rot in some of the buds, on the next one see if you can increase ventilation
I've hopefully cut most of it half hard to see till it's actually noticeable think the vents been the problem dripping water I'll hopefully get it all when I cut her down ill have a good look throw do you think smaller hanging stems be better then hanging her whole tree up cheers
I would just so I could get a good look at all the buds to chop out any rot before I dried it
need to save what ever I can manage bud rot on top is a killer ive chopped off few oz for the bin and hung some up she's been a learning experience 👌
I dont wanna dry it out to fast nor do I want anymore rot I need a smal fan and heater needs to be 16c
only way I could prevent bud rot is by shaking the plants off every morning because the morning dew usually causes it unless your indoors then the humidity is way to high if not the plant is most likely ready and not getting any bigger
you think I should just cut her all now vs i was hoping to push another 2 weeks for the lower bud sites left on the half still in soil
if frost has already hit yes but most the time you want to wait till a majority of the hairs on the bud are brown if you take those big sucker leaves off it’ll push more energy to the buds some times you’ll get nugs the size of your hand and on the same plant it’ll have immature buds the only way to really prevent that is training them like removing excess foliage or bending the branches so light reaches the bottoms colas better I wouldn’t harvest half the plant it would stress out the remaining plant and might not grow as much as it could and I’d let them go until the first or second frost they do have some time left in them
dried in my new shed 14days got a big jar fill had to throw some away was brown and ive had some bud rot ive switch this second stage to the attic for the rest of her witch is looking more dense and purple ill probs get 3/4 large mason jars full and some cakes of sugar leaf my first plant was well think ill try a auto flower next time not another 200 days of this
Might be too early to tell. Take a look at the nodes or “armpits” of the plants. Boys got lots of nuts, girls have big calyx’s.
