KJC am I suppose to remove all the fan leaves?
Even the top 2 fan leaves?
Should I remove the big and small fan leaves that are in between the bud sites or on the bud site?
I'M THINK I HAVE A MAG DEFICIENCY , I'M THINKING ABOUT MIXING A GALLON OF WATER WITH OF "AN's SENSICAL MG MIX" 2mL pre Liter, I'M JUST GOING TO USE 5mL FOR THE 1 GALLON.
What nutrients have you been using and how many millilitres per gallon? What are your temperature and humidity?
At the highest the room temperature was ( 89 f ) at the lowest ( 70 f ) with LIGHTS on.
WITH LIGHTS OFF THE ROOM TEMPERATURE's HIGHEST IS (73f ) AND THE LOWEST WITH LIGHTS OFF WAS (64 f) WITH LIGHT IS OFF.
I would keep your plant Linda tied down. I believe it is semi gloss white paint that is used for a grow room if you do not wish to use black and white panda plastic.
I would let the plants develop some root ball in their current pots before re potting to larger size pots. The T5 lights can be placed as close as 5-6 inches from the plants if needed.
To raise the humidity in your home you can boil off several large pots of water.
THANK YOU KJC
I'M DOING WHAT I'M DOING IN THE ATTIC SO I HAVE TO GET A HUMIDIFIER. I HAVE ONE BUT IT'S A VICKS WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER AND IT PULLS A LOT OF ELECTRICITY. I'M STILL USING THE EXTENSION CORD YOU SUGGESTED. I'M USING THE ADVANCED NUTRIENT'S FEEDING CHART FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF VEGETATIVE GROWTH FOR THE NEW CLONES " THE CLONES OF Linda'S CLONES ". AND THE SEEDLINGS THE PPM ON THE CHART IS 800ppm. MY PPM WAS 740 AND THE PH WAS 5.6 AFTER I ADJUSTED IT.
. . . . KJC
I would wait until the roots grow to the bottom of the pots to flower the clones.
GREEN MORNING KJC
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW THAT I'M ON THE RIGHT WITH THE NUTRIENTS. MY FRIEND AND I ARE SO HAPPY AND PROUD TO BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU TO LEAN ON AND WE REALLY FEEL BLESSED BY YOUR HELP. KJC WE APPRECIATE YOUR GENUINE LOVE FOR CREATING CANNABIS AWARENESS AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO HELPING ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GROW!_!
THIS PLANT BELONG TO MY OLD LADY's FRIEND AND EVERYBODY THAT SHE KNOWS IS TELLING HER TO CHOP IT DOWN, EXCEPT ME. . .
SHE DON'T KNOW WHAT I DO. BUT MY OLD LADY WANTS TO HELP HER GIRL . . SO I'VE DONE WHAT I CAN TO DO SO. . .
I'M TELLING HER THAT HER PLANT ISN'T READY BUT HER FRIENDS ARE TELLING HER THAT, THE BUD WILL GET OVER RIPE . . . . AND BECOME MOLD. . . .
THE THOUGHT BEHIND THAT IS SINCE CANNABIS IS A FLOWER IT'S GOING TO WILT LIKE A ROSE OR ANY OTHER FLOWER. KJC WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON OVER RIPE CANNABIS PLANTS?
KJC HOW CAN SHE DRY THESE BRANCHES?
SHOULD SHE TRY TO WASH THE BUD?
SHE GROW THE PLANT IN Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix.
There are not enough amber trichomes to harvest yet. Your friend should continue to flower the plant until there are more amber trichomes. Your friend can dry the branch several ways either by cutting the branches into individual branches and hanging on hung string or by trimming the cut branches now and hanging to dry on hung string.
I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY BUDDY's PLANT AND MINES OF COURSE. . . .
THANKS TO YOU KJC. . . + REPS . .
I'M GOING TO PUT ONE OF MY 5 CLONES TO FLOWER @ MY BUDDY's WE'LL BE USING HIS 5'X5' GORILLA TENT. . . .
I USE ADVANCED NUTRIENTS, MY BUDDY IS GOING TO USE GENERAL HYDROPONICS
MY QUESTION: SHOULD I LEAVE HIM SOME NUTRIENTS AND KEEP USING (AN)?
OR
JUST LET HIM START USING (GH) NUTES ON MY PLANT?
I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF THE CLONES THAT I GAVE HIM TO LEARN WITH. . . .
HOW CAN HE START USING HIS (GH) NUTES?
IS THE SOLUTION A FLUSH WITH PLAIN pH ADJUSTED WATER @ 5.8 TO GET RID OF THE (AN) NUTES?
OR
IS THERE A CERTAIN WAY TO SWITCH FROM ONE BRAND OF NUTES TO ANOTHER BRAND OF NUTES?
I would let your friend start using General Hydroponics Flora series on the one plant and tell him what you have been using for your nutrients. You may want to flush with at least twice the volume of pH adjusted water as your pot size.
LATER ON TODAY I' M PUTTING ONE OF MY OLDER CLONES IN MY BUDDY's 5X5 GORILLA TENT, I WILL FLUSH @ HIS PLACE. . . .
SHOULD I PUT A LITTLE OF ANYTHING LIKE CAL-MAG, AQUASHIELD?
OR JUST PLAIN WATER THAT'S pH ADJUSTED TO 5.8?
WE'RE MAKING A 5X5 NET FOR THE TENT. KJC WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON THE NET?
THE PLANT IS GOING TO BE BY HER SELF IN THE TENT UNDER A 1000 WATTS. .
I'M GOING TO LET PLANT VEGETATE FOR 3 WEEKS BY HERSELF BY THAT TIME Linda WILL 2 MONTHS IN TO FLOWERING 5/23/14. . .
ON THE MORNING OF 5/22/14 @ 10AM, I WILL SWITCH THE BULB IN THE TENT TO BEGIN THE FLOWERING PROCESS / I'LL FLIP TO 12/12 . . . . . . .
CAN I DO A FLUSH AND START TO TRAINING HER THE SAME DAY?
SHOULD MY BUDDY KEEP USING (AN) B-52?
IF NOT, KJC WHAT'S THE GENERAL HYDROPONICS EQUIVALENT/REPLACEMENT FOR (AN) B-52?
WHEN I DO THE FLUSH SHOULD POOR THE WATER ONE GALLON AFTER ANOTHER IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OR CAN I TOP FEED THE WATER?
Use water adjusted to pH 5.8 for your flush. Yes you can flush and train the same day. I would say make the SCroG screen only as deep as you can reach into it. I believe the General Hydroponics counter part to B-52 is Floralicious. I would only use the B vitamin supplement in vegetative growth. Ideally when you flush the water would be top fed until it passes through the medium.
The calcium and magnesium should fix your deficiency. Is the plant also getting sufficient phosphorous?
Is the plant also getting sufficient phosphorous?
I don't know.
What do I use for phosphorous?
KJC what should the humidity and temp be during the flowering stage?
Ps. I received the humidifier that you suggested . . . . .
Your source of phosphorous would be the Jungle Juice nutrients that you use. You want 70°-90° Fahrenheit and 50%-70% humidity for vegetative growth and 30%-50% humidity for flowering.
KJC
I WILL UPDATE BOTH MY JOURNALS, EVEN IF IT'S JUST PICTURES AND WHAT NUTRIENTS I'VE BEEN USING. I HAVE MADE THE CHANGES, NOW I'M DOING HEAVY FEEDING BUT 1 WEEK BEHIND OF FLOWER, Linda IS IN WEEK 5 OF FLOWER AND I'M USING WEEK 4 OF (AN) HEAVY FEEDING.
KJC SHOULD I REMOVE SOME OF THE FAN LEAVES OR ANY LEAVES THAT ARE BLOCKING THE LIGHT FROM THE OTHER BUD SITES?
I HAVEN'T SINCE YOU SAID TO DO THE NEXT DEFOLIATION ON DAY 45 OF FLOWER. KJC IS HAVING THE LIGHT/LAMP CLOSER BETTER?
BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE I'M KEEPING THE PLANT SMALL BY NOT ALLOWING THE PLANT TO REACH FOR THE LIGHT DURING THE LIGHT PERIOD OF THE 12/12. MY FAN LEAVES ARE SMALL THOSE THAT MEAN ANYTHING OR IS THAT PART OF THE STRAIN?
1) I would remove any fan leaves that are blocking bud sites now.
2) The closer the light is to the plants gives the plants a maximum amount of light. Light decreases to 1/4 the power per foot of distance from the light source.
3) The size of your fan leaves is dependent on the strain and light source used.
KJC, Linda IS A BAG SEED. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT'S A SEED FOR REGS, MIDS OR IF IT'S FROM GOOD SMOKE THAT HAD A FEW SEEDS.
CAN Linda BE FROM REGS AND HAVE NO SEEDS? OR IS IT IF THE PLANT HAVE NO SEED IT'S NOT REGS?
HOW CAN I DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF Linda's FLOWER?
KJC I'VE BEEN TYING Linda DOWN HORIZONTALLY TO KEEP HER LOW AND SPREAD OUT.
DO YOU THINK IT'S BETTER TO TIE DOWN AND ALLOW THE BRANCH TO REACH UP?
BECAUSE AS SOON AS I SEE A GETTING TALL I TIE THAT BRANCH ALMOST FLAT ON THE NET.
1) Only having a sample laboratory tested would determine your plants potency and levels of cannabinoids. When your plant has been drying for 3-5 days and is ready to be cut from the stems and placed into storage containers you can sample its potency by smoking.
2) I would continue to train your plant as you currently are by spreading out the branches so that they receive a maximum amount of light. I do not believe either way would be a negative.
THE FLOWER ROOM THAT Linda IS IN IT'S 12'X12' I'M USING THE 1000 WATT @ SUPER LUMES. I KNOW Linda"s SCroG screen IS BIG AND IT TAKES UP A LOT OF PLACE. KJC DO YOU THINK I CAN PUT ANTHER PLANT IN THE ROOM? THE LIGHT/LAMP IS RIGHT ABOVE THE NET. . . .
MY FLOWERING BULB BLOW, I THINK IT'S BECAUSE ON SATURDAY I LEFT THE HUMIDIFIER ON DURING THE DARK PERIOD ON THE 12/12 THE HUMIDITY WENT UP TO 70% THE DOOR WAS ALREADY CLOSED FOR AN HOUR. I WENT TO HELP MY BUDDY WITH HIS PLACE. WHEN WE GOT BACK 15 HOUR LATER I CHECKED MY THERMOMETER & HYGROMETER MONITOR THE TEMP WAS 73F . . .
THE LIGHT WOULD OF BEEN ON FOR 5 HOUR . . .
I CHECKED THE MEMORY ON MONITOR, @ THE HIGHEST HUMIDITY WAS 94%.
WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR THE LIGHT WHERE OFF. I TURNED ON THE REGULAR LIGHTS AND SAW THE BULB WAS WHITE. I'M GRATEFUL MY BUDDY GAVE ME THE SAME BULB BEFORE THE NEXT LIGHT PERIOD. . . . .
KJC
THIS ARE SOME OF THE PICTURES I TOOK LAST NIGHT/ THIS MORNING. WHEN I REMOVED THE SDCARD FROM THE CAMERA THE DATE DIDN'T CHANGE TO 5-6-14.
I am not aware of the dimensions of your plant Linda, If you are using less the 5'x5' per 1000 watt light then yes you can add more plants under the same light. It will also depend on the area lit beneath the reflector and how high above the plant the light is hung at.
In your 7th and 8th photograph there appears to be a pollen sack that should be removed. You may have more pollen sacks and some seeds. You appear to be defoliating correctly. When I defoliate I remove the lower growth that will not produce anything except for popcorn bud and any leaves that shade bud sites.
THANK YOU KJC
DOES THAT MEAN THE CLONES WILL HAVE SEED?
OR
DID I STRESSED Linda TO THE POINT THAT SHE IS PRODUCING SEEDS + POLLEN SACKS?
IF ALL THE POLLEN SACKS ARE NOT REMOVED WILL Linda GET POLLINATED AND BECOME FULL OF SEED?
SO MAKE SURE I REMOVE ALL THE POLLEN SACKS?
The clones may produce pollen sacks as well, if the pollen sacks are genetic then the clones will produce them as well. Unless you have used other methods then the ones you have relayed to me I feel that it is most likely that the pollen sacks are genetic. You should carefully inspect each bud for pollen sacks and remove any you find. A spay bottle with water can be used to neutralize any pollen from the area where you removed the pollen sacks. If the pollen sacks are not removed then many pistils may become pollinated.
THANKS TO YOU, KJC AND THE REST OF THE . . . . .
THE ONES THAT HELPED BY GIVING ME ADVISE/ SUGGESTIONS/OPINIONS AND THE MEMBERS THAT JUST SHARED THERE GROW WITH US @ . . . . . .
I AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TIME. . . .
KJC, I STILL HAVE 420 QUESTIONS FOR YOU. . . .
THE LIGHT IS ABOUT 16-22 NCHES AWAY FROM THE TOP OF THE PLANT, NOT FROM THE NET.
CAN I PUT ANOTHER PLANT IN THE 12'X12' ROOM WITH 1000 WATTS AND MAKE IT WORTH DOING SO?
