To start adding Bloom nutrients during flowering


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone 

A friend gave me 2 outdoor plants. That have already been budding, i dont know how long, the trichomes have become milky all over. So still waiting for some them to turn slightly amber

He said he didnt really use nutrients religiously so they have been getting plain water for a couple of weeks. 

 

My question is should i add a bloom nutrient solution to them now, or just leave them to finish off. Cause im not sure how much longer it will take. 

 

The super lemon haze auto  is well into budding and the sativa seems like it can definetly go for much longer.

So these are all for bloom. The Atami bloombastic in my opinion is great stuff but i dont have much and they dont have a license locally to sell yet so limited supply. 

 

The bio bloom my friend gave but didnt really use them. He likes " organic" and nutriplex is ok i use the grow nutrient solution and its fine no problem with it. 

 

Anyone could guess how long it could take for some trichomes to turn amber?

From mostly milky to amber is normally within a week. Although which one has milky trichomes? I assume the auto as the sativa looks as if its not as far into flower as the auto.

 

Although you're growing outdoors and the amount of light is continuing to increase, not sure how much darkness they're actually getting and what the plants are doing. This wont affect the auto but will affect the photoperiod sativa and may lead to her revegging.

 

If the auto has milky trichomes, I wouldn't bother using bloom nutes now, I feel the growth is over and it;s just waiting for it to ripen.

For the sativa, you could use some bloom nutes and it could still be beneficial. Any of the above 3 bloom nutes should work alright. They're all more or less the same stuff.

Thanks psyclown & Bakstein420👌 For the help

Yes i think ill continue to just use water on the auto flower. However it does look like probably 70% of the sativa trichomes are milky, besides the lower branches. The buds have not filled up allot on the sativa and maybe its due to limited nutrient intake so could be a decent idea to try add some nutrients and see if we can add a little size to her buds, and i know a sativa is not going to gain size like the indica auto but should be able to add quite a bit more size than that. 

I do have a tent that i can use but just bringing the day light schedule down each month for my other plants. 

2 chemdawg feminised plants. Which have only started to flower. And need to be brought down from an 18/on 6 off to a 14 on. And then down to a 12. 

 

And once all plants are on a 12 on 12 off i will use the tent to ensure darkness from 6pm -6 Am and then outside for the day.

Yes cable is power supply. 

Im experimenting in controlling and testing the conditions of the tent. Before i change from an outdoor grow to indoor. 

like temp and humidity. Where im at humidity is usually very dry, generally reads 10%. 

So iv got a humidifier on that keeps it around 50-60% 

then a fan inside the tent and just keep flaps open for fresh air.  

Plants are only put into the tent for extra light at the end of the day, and if needed to protect  from severe conditions outside, till i switch to 12/12 light schedule 

So when i have 💰 💰💰 the only thing left are a proper grow light.

So To answer psyclown question regarding heat, plants are outside, when i do change to indoor ill put the tent under my patio. As you are 100% right during the day temps get to 38/40 in the tent which is hot.

      Hi there
      so I’m on week 5 of my flower cycle. 
      Watering when necessary and keeping humidity between 40-50 and fighting to keep the temperature below 26
      noticing this on one of the bud leaves. Not sure what it is?
      Thx in advance
      Alby

      Hi everyone 
      I wish you all well today.
      so I have just completed my first grow I’m still pretty noob and I grew in potting soil mixed with bonemeal and fed moderate amounts of seagro most of the until closer to the end as I could now see the bonemeal burning them. I never used any flowering nutrients thinking the bonemeal would provide enough of the P, I wasn’t happy with the bud sizes ( I’ll post a pic ) I saw some EHG nutrients on growguru site it sounds ‘ amazing ‘ as most are trying to market there product but before I go ahead and purchase the A, B, micro kit I would like everyone’s opinions on the matter, I’ll be using it in coco only grow next ( I’m revenging the same plant, time wreck) and putting it in a scrog this time, but after that I want to do DWC so would it be possible for those nutes to cover me through a coco and dwc grow ?
      Incase this info is relevant I’m using 10x 15w LED bulbs @2700k 1520 lumens each.
      thanks !
       
      ps I posted a pic of the nutes im referring to, aswell as a few bud shots

      Hey guys!
      So @Jedi Messiah and I started growing a few plants around June this year, random bag seeds.
      Two of them already look like they are flowering, but I'm not cetrain because they but the one in particular seem very small. 
      First picture is oldest and is pretty big, she was grown about 3 weeks before the second plant. 
      Been very healthy and vibrant. 
      Topped it and did LST, grown outdoors.
      Didn't give it much feed in the first month or two.
      But give it bionitro and bioneem once a week and water. Pic #2 and #3 are some of the what I think are preflowers? 
      Then we have plant #2 (pic #4)
      the younger one, northern lights bagseed, this plant is 3 weeks younger than the first and i's only at about 15-20cm tall and maybe 10cm wide but very bushy and has a lot of also what I see to be preflowers ? 
      Same feeding and water schedule.
      Pic #5 is a close up of its flowers.
       
      So my question is,
      is it starting to flower? If so, will it reveg when the daylight hours increase? 
       And if we should stop foliar feeds and using neem if it's flowering?
      Thank's guys

      Howdy folks, first post here, been lurking for a bit, not really one for introducing myself and also haven't been on a local grow forum since BelowTheLion had a grow forum...so.....eh...howzit👊.
      Recently run into some issues with root aphids, so thought it appropriate to communicate with local communities in order to see what methods people have used in the past to treat infestations, as well as share my experiences.
      * Currently Day 25 of Flower at posting(11/04/2019)
      Setup:
      Mars Grow Tent(Total Grow Space - 2.4mx1.2mx2m) 1 x Extractor(700m3/hr - 11.67m3/minute) - Negative Pressure 600w HID(Sunmaster - Dual Spectrum [Flowering Period Only]) 2 x 45l D.W.C Reservoirs 2 Plants per res.(125mm Net Pots with Hydrotron/LECA) ScroGged(Utilised Grow Space - 1mx1.4m) Strain:
      4 x Green House Seed Co. A.M.S.(Identical Cuts)  
      Preface:
      For the record, I had some how allowed myself to be fooled by the idea that subterranean pests wouldn't really be a factor in hydroponics, especially Deep Water Culture, but boy was i mistaken, so please, don't fool yourselves with this idea guys.
      If anything, in my resulting opinion, the hydroponic environment can actually be more conducive to certain pests growth when comapred with its media/soil counterparts, however, on the flip side, much like dealing with nutrient burns or P.H. issues, hydroponic systems have a greater potential for fast recover.(*Provided you are able to identify the issue/infestation early enough.)
       
      In hind sight, I can easily say that the first sign of my infestation actually started showing a little over a week ago, however I would only come to realise this 3 days ago.
      It started with me waking up to finding a mass of dead fliers on my tent floor, which I had simply assumed were just miggies trying to get to my light and moved on, however I would soon realise that these were actually the winged adults of an aphid infestation.
      I only realised the true issue when it came to nute change time, which is when I discovered a rather established Root Aphid infestation when going to siphon my reservoirs.
      *This is when Hydrogen Peroxide(H2O2) becomes your next best friend.
      Treatment:
      Day 1: Sprayed with Ludwigs Insect Spray +. Flushed reservoirs with fresh water and tried to physically remove and wash off any visible aphids as much as possible. Filled reservoirs with P.H. balanced water and added 12ml(30% H2O2[Clicks - 30 Vol.]) per resivour. Only water/circulation pump running - aeration turned off to potentially try reduce H2O2 reduction to H2O. Day 2: Sprayed with Ludwigs Insect Spray +. Added 5ml(30% H2O2[Clicks - 30 Vol.]) to each reservoir. Day 3: Flushed reservoirs with fresh water and tried to physically remove and wash off any visible aphid debris as much as possible - can clearly see that the infestation is not thriving like it was. Added normal flowering nute mix Aerators back on(*System to run as normal) I definitely feel that my initial knock of the infestation has been successful, however it is crucial that I ensure that I keep on top of this infestation by inspecting my rootzone multiple times a day when possible as well as spraying Ludwigs Insect Spray + to ensure that any crawling/flying aphids are exterminated and unable to continue their life cycle.(I have had great success with Ludwigs Insect Spray + for canopy/foliage pests).
      If I see any signs of the root aphids getting a grip again,  I will repeat the steps from day 1 and 2(H2O2 Volume to be determined).
      *Yellow fly paper would also be extremely beneficial at reducing winged flier survival success rate
      *It is crucial that anyone reading this post realises that these are my experiences with a Deep Water Culture Hydroponic system, and that if you encounter root aphids in a soil-type medium, H2O2 will destroy any organic organisms in your medium, if at a strong enough concentration, beneficial organism or not. Ensure that you consider this and research accordingly before taking this as word.
      *Please also realise that the effects of root aphids will most likely show as a nutrient deficiency first, unless the rootzone infestation is noticed before hand by the grower.
      Any experiences or input would be much appreciated - substantiated or opinionated <3.
