le sigh.
waira waira waira.
Unfortunately due to the length of time it's been since I've made an update, and the time its been since Ive had direct contact with you, this is going to be grotesquely long.
Since we last spoke, I have made/baked a plethora of different things things - two of which are note worthy enough to mention to you.
Charms BlowPop flavored whoopie pies (sugar cookies flavored with strawberry jello sandwiching a fat fluffy layer of bubblegum flavored butter cream :drool
and caramel apple pie flan...or custard- call it what you will, it was delicious lol (your basic flan recipe with added diced apple some extra cinnamon and some caramel mix I had layin' around :still drooling
ANYWAYS lol down to the nitty gritty that is the girls.
AutoMaria is quite lovely - however she has ALSO started to suffer from a lack of nutes and Im gonna go with lacking the 3 majors N P and K.
Took these pictures on Saturday (the 19th) when I read about taking great pictures in the dark with the flash and that was the last time they had a solid photo op. Shes also got one teeny bud leaf on her main that i DONT have a picture of that has 3/4 of the way turned....dark. I cant really pinpoint the color at this point as I have yet to take her away from the HPS and look at the color, but I wanna say its like...a really deep shade of purple -









I wondered if she was only yellowing for the normal reasons (approaching harvest) but I feel like she wouldn't show signs of other def. if that were the case....or perhaps it would? Im really just NOT SURE LOL
At the start of AA yellowing I thought it was an N def. but for whatever reason, I had CONVINCED myself that couldnt be the issue cause the MG N# is 4 and PH was in check so the N was there. Evidently not nearly enough lol.
I did look for the Sea Grow on Amazon but got SO man different results and I didnt know precisely what I was looking for *until now lol, so I ended up getting these 2 things to add to the feeding regimen - 1- finally got the BLACKSTRAP instead of my regular grandma's unsulphured molasses and I was high when I was looking for high PK ferts so I dont recall how or where I came across it, but I read that this 2. dyna gro stuff is supposed to be awesome.
SOO...now what? lol And don't worry, I dont expect an answer anytime soon due to your whole time warp thing and my one man posse thing LOL.
So my NPK options are as follows -
Flora Micro 5- 0- 1
Flora Grow 2-1-6
Flora Bloom 0-5-4
MG RapidStart 4-12-4
Dyna Gro Mag Pro 2-15-4
Im wondering...should I hit AA next feed with some flora micro for the N boost? Perhaps mix some up and foliar feed it for quicker delivery? Then once the N def. is corrected, feed with 1/2 strength MG, and 1/2 strength Dyna Grow for a combined NPK of 6-27-8 (do I divide those numbers by 2 since I'd be going at 1/2 strength?) or is that overkill?
//high rant// And how much N is TOO much N during flower?
Cause you confused me when you said
lol indeed AA does have some solid cola action in the works. Im stoked that I still have another AA seed, cause I think Ima like her. She really is fucking stinky lol and its the kind of stinky that I LOVE. That pungent fuely/skunky scent that you can smell from a block away :drool:
Security.....Im starting to worry about it a little bit. I mean - we DO own the house. Buuuuut...Its in a townhouse community, so it may as well be like living in an apartment, as there is a neighbor on either side of us....just in townhouses and not apartments lol. Last grow, there were 2 plants and a clone and even at/during harvest, you only got a faint smell of weed outside of the closet in the room, but once you got in there, it smelled like someone just got done smoking a bowl with the plants lol.
This time around?
:crap: lol so the house is 4 floors. The garden is on the 3rd floor in his "hobby room or mancave, stop calling it a craft room!" lol. You can start to smell the plants from outside the door in the hallway. The girls' bathroom (it connects to the 'man cave') and the man cave both reek, so im sure you can imagine what its like actually going IN the closet lol The next floor up is our bed room and Im CONVINCED I can smell them. I mentioned it to K the other night and he said that he didn't smell anything....BUT lol there is a vent right next to my side of the bed so I wonder if thats why I can smell them and he can't. Or perhaps Im just being paranoid, which is also a distinct possibility lol. Then he says to me "I dont think it smells any more like weed than the house normally does" LOL
I dont mind the smell either, and would sit with them, just soaking it in all day long if I could, lol I just worry that the longer FB and AA flower, the stronger the smell is going to get and the higher the chances of needing to implement some sort of...smell reducer lol
Here are some pictures I've taken since the last plant update -

Cause you confused me when you said
....dont get me wrong, it makes complete sense that since the plant is putting on weight, it needs more N to...compensate (dont quite know if thats the right word I wanna use here lol). But as we know, all plants/and or/strains are different, grow differently and in turn will have different levels of need for N during flowering. Like, I would think that some of the very first auto strains, would need less N in flowering compared to the later strains, since the first autos (from what I've read) stayed small and didn't have great yields - not as large=not as much to compensate for=a lesser need for N in flower *compared to later strains*//end rant//...and the bulk the plants put on at this stage makes for fairly high demand, it just doesn't get top billing during bloom that P and K do
