First Grow 2 White Widow 1 Mama Mia Indoor Soil 2 1000 LED 2018

Flower day 16 I went this morning to feed but they are not ready yet from the soaking that I gave them on Monday they are almost dry but I want to give them one more day before I feed them. They are still getting taller and the buds are growing every day. The budlets are super hard when I touch them on both plants.

Nice work!

Nice work!

Thank you very much

Is week 7 something like 2 teaspoons of Grow Big and 2 teaspoons of Tiger Bloom? I'm asking because the leaves are so green that I'm a bit concerned about still having that much nitrogen going into flower.

I used to follow their schedule (I have BB, GB, TB, and Open Sesame) but I stopped the Open Sesame and use a much lower dose than they recommend.

It is 3 big bloom 2 grow big and 2 tiger bloom. They have the same for week 8 but week 9 they cut the grow big down to 1. Then in week 10 it is cut out all together. Should I be doing something different? I am giving them full strength nutrients and they are loving it I have been for many weeks now.

Interesting. Should I be lowering the dosage of my veg nutes before flower? I never knew that. I'm going into flower in a week or so...

Not before flower, but over the two weeks after flower. I'd be done with veg nutes completely before the end of stretch. I mentioned it to Mushie because of the color of the leaves. If this were mine I would make that transition off Grow Big much faster.

Oh ok. So you're saying phase out veg nutes over the first two weeks of flower. So start 50/50, then slowly lean towards bloom nutes? You read so many different ideas.

So you don't think I should put any grow big in next week's feed then?

And you will. Some things are done by feel and eye and some have hard science to back them up. I go by feel on this and my recommendation to Mushie was based on my eye. Plants don't need a lot of nitrogen in flower so I start backing that down when I see pistils.

So you don't think I should put any grow big in next week's feed then?

Depending on how often they need water will change how you ramp the transition so it's hard to say. If I was at 2tsp/2tsp (which is way higher than I'd go!) I would go 2.5/1.5 and then 3/1 and then 4/0. If they're drinking every few days you can make the transition slower.

Like I said, it's not a hard and fast rule to transition sooner, but to my eye those leaves are a pretty dark green which had me concerned. Might be nothing, but I don't think it's going to do any harm. I'm sure there's plenty of N left in the soil at those doses.

Flower morning 21 the bud sites are getting bigger and there are more than I thought there would be on both plants the white widow buds are very hard but do not have much of a smell to them. The mama Mir has both firmness and a really good smell.

 

[Greenlizard]

Nice and healthy looking. I too find my flowers don't have the smell I was expecting but bud density and appearance is all good. I guess just because it doesn't stink doesn't mean it's less in quality. The stronger odor may be yet to come?

Thank you. I sure hope the smell comes later with the white widow.

Plants look great and the flowers are coming along nicely. You should definitely be done with Grow Big now. I'm seeing signs of N toxicity in some of the leaves where the ends claw downward.

 

[Mushie1005]

Yes some are I was wondering why they were doing that. I thought it might have been hot air from the heater.

 

[InTheShed]

Dark green leaves and clawing are the big signs of nitrogen toxicity. That's why I mentioned the color of the leaves a few days ago.

Morning 23 of flower everything seems to be coming along ok. I do have some discoloration on some leaves on the mama mia plant but it is not bad yet.

 

[InTheShed]

Plants look great! How's the transition to Tiger Bloom going?

 

[Mushie1005]

I was going to feed today but they did not need it. So tomorrow I am going to feed I am planning on mixing up a full dose and just leave the grow big out and see how they like that.

 

[InTheShed]

I don't think they'll miss it .
