Jimobry's Bag Seed First Grow Journal

[Jimbory]

I have got a question to everyone who is watching this: what do you guys think about re-potting during flowering?
it's start of second week and i was wondering if i should do it, and if it is worth the stress i put them into?
the reason i haven't done it before is because i actually had 6 plants in there until a few days ago, but two have proven males, so now i have the room, and i can re-pot to 11 liters, its the biggest pot that i have room for. they are in 6.5 liters now.
answers will be greatly appreciated and will be rewarded with a blessing

I am not that experienced with growing but it would seem to me that it would not be a good idea to transplant at this poi t unless it is to that poi t and you have no other options. But there are growers here with much more knowledge and experience.

I wouldn't risk it. Especially with the bag seed and not really knowing its genetics. It might be very prone to hermie and over stressing it in flower will do just that.

 

[Jimbory]

I appreciate you advise chef and dan.
I hope i can still get a respectable yield from those pots.
I will do as you suggest

 

[surfinchef]

That's what's great about this community Jim. Just wait you will see this is the best community out there and it's full of class acts!!

I have got a question about a certain nute given to me as a gift by my hydro shop buddy

has anyone ever seen it before, or rather used it before, and can give some information about how to use it, and if it can be combined with the bio bizz collection that i am currently using?

and i couldnt resist sharing today's growth

Those links just go to the main forum page. Your photos are there now because they were the most recently uploaded, but they will get lost in the mix when others are uploaded.

The best way to upload photos to your journal is to click the My Photos in the lower left corner of the Reply test box. Then just click the photo you want to add. Make sure at the top of the Insert Photo popup, you have Original Only selected.

I have not heard of the nutrient. Might need a little more research. And your girl looks stunning!

 

[Jimbory]

Well, i actually dragged the photos from "my photos" window to start with, only realized that after the post was shared :\
As long as the photos are up there now

And the girl's name is Xena, she is my warrior, she started off in the same cup with an other girl, and survived the move like a warrior.
My lady's gentle hands were the ones to untangle the roots, much better then my barbaric hands, if you ask me, hehehe.

The thing is, that on my bottle the values of p and k are said to be 20-32, so i am not sure if it is the exact product.
this is the source B`Cuzz Blossom Builder - Nickel City Wholesale Garden Supply

I will keep looking to see if i can find an exact match

 

[OrganicMan]

Hey the atami blossom builder is a finisher/ripen. It has an pk value so you may need to back up on your flower feed but it will be fine to use with your biobizz range, but its not organic. It's very similar to bloombastic or green sensations. Hope this helps

 

[Jimbory]

Thank a lot OrganicMan.
I just didnt understand, can I or can I not use it with my biobloom and top max?

 

[OrganicMan]

Well yes... But the biobloom has a npk of 2-7-4 & topmax is 0.1-0.01-0.1 so I would drop back on the biobloom as it has a high pk value but the topmax is mainly beneficials & sugars to feed your soil so that will be fine. Hope this helps

 

[Jimbory]

Helps a lot, and thank you for clarifying
excuse my noob question, that is my learning process

 

[OrganicMan]

no worries Jim & we are all here to learn

 

[surfinchef]

Yea Jim, it's all about learning. This is your thread grab what knowledge you can and apply that knowledge to your next grow.

So It is end of week two since i flipped the switch to 12/12
Actual flowering time is about 1 week give or take, Xena, the one on the right back side (from previous photos), was the first one to start flowering (She is the one i was showing off her bud building), and the rest joined in shortly after.
BTW do I start counting the flowering time from when they show pistils for the first time, or from when they start to form actual buds?
Any way, yesterday the girls were given nutes, consisted of 1.5ml/l Bio Grow, 2ml/l Bio Heaven, 2ml/l Bio Bloom and 1ml/l Top Max.
Anyone knows if it is ok to follow the BioBizz Feeding Chart completely, cause I just figured that with flowering and all, they dont need as much Bio Grow...I would really appreciate some good advice on the matter.
I have got some yellowing going on on the lower leaves, some fell off, is it normal? I am talking about the first couples of leaves (the oldest ones) and those in proximity. I hope it is just because the plant is flowering and not something else.
Apart from that, things are looking good. The plants seem happy enough. I am trying to solve my gnat problem, but it seems like their population is being reduced slowly. I am trying to give the soil proper time to dry (1-2 inches from top) before i am watering, also using the sticky traps, and I just made an order for some neem oil, that i might try to make a solution with of some sort.
I will try to upload fresh pics tomorrow. Thank you for following, your help and guidance is really appreciated.

Well Jim it's good to see you back! Hope all is well.

You start counting flowering time when you flip to 12/12. Now if you have an auto I really couldn't tell you. When you start setting the plant to shorter days and longer night's it triggers the plant to start developing flowers.

As far as bites go I have no experience. But it seems to me that if you have their line of nutes following their feeding schedule would be the way to go.

Need pictures to see the yellowing. I had yellowing problems but it was due to over watering. But that doesnt mean that you have the same problem. To better aid pictures will be needed.


Good to hear from you. Would love to see the buds.

Flowering: Week 3 Day 1
As promised, I am back with photos:

First, here are the leaves that i was referring to in my previous post

Second, these are the damn gnats that i am dealing with, and it seems like there was a population increase since my last feeding.

Third, some bud shot

It looks like some trichomes are appearing, which fills me with joy...
Fourth, some shots of the plants

So, I would appreciate some assistance regarding the gnats, and regarding the yellow leaves, that are actually so week that they fall off with the slightest touch.
Thanks for stopping by

Flowering: Week 3 Day 1
So, I would appreciate some assistance regarding the gnats, and regarding the yellow leaves, that are actually so weak that they fall off with the slightest touch.

I wish I knew more about controlling gnats, but I wouldn't be too worried about them. Every grow I've seen that has gnats turned out just fine. The sticky paper is a good start. With my indoor vegetable and herb gardens, the gnats get worse when my soil is constantly moist because it creates a perfect breeding ground for them. Hopefully, somebody else in this thread has more experience controlling them than me.

I assume that the yellowing, brittle leaves are the bottom ones. One big reason they do this is because they no longer get the same light that they used to, so they fall off naturally to avoid wasting nutrients and water. That said, there may be some other issue at hand, but I don't have enough experience to suggest any proper fixes. Nonetheless, your plants are looking great!
