ok. so i started my flower saturday. todays number 3. i am using 7 5 gal buckets and a 18 gal roughneck with 4 plants . total of 11. wasnt able to move the 4 into buckets guc didnt want to be slowed down by messing with the roots to get em untangled. so i left em. theres only 2 purps i think i cant remember lol. next round will be more. so heres some pics .
stats
11 plants
70-77 degrees
50-60%
5.8-6.2 ph
on 222 cylce till saturday. using gh nutes. gro micro bloom. only did one week of 222 instead of called for 2.
ok this is 1st day of 2nd week. on wednesday i filled all the buckets back up with 123 about 4 inches from top brim of bucket. most have drank about 2 inches so far. i was gettin low on my nutes so i figuerd i might as well just fill it up . plus i thought that it might help significantly since most of the plants life they have always been in half or less full buckets. im also gunna upgrade my air pumps to a 70watt big boy . think thatll power my planned 14 buckets way more then i am even now. the piston is a massive 3 1/2 inch compared to my 3/8 inch now. ill just be using 1 pump instead of 7.
some of my plants were growing a lil more then the rest so i bent all the tops on thursday to bring back to an even canopy. i know that prob wasnt the smartest but no more bending the rest of this flower! but now it has a small hill shape and is very good looking canopy.
ok so heres some pics. looks like the middle plant on my 7 bucket circle was gettin burned a lil since a lil too close to the light. ive been cutting the burn off and raising the light to seee if its good.
so today i went in and my center plant in 7 bucket circle has stretched alot. probly another inch from yesterday. i didnt really like what it was starting to look like. so i bent over 4 tops to drop em down n hopefully slow the growing long enought so that they will just chill where they are at .
i dont no if anyone nos or not but how long in to the flower can you bend or trim ? i think you can do it as long as you want. because thats what scrog is all bout. bending the buds to grow horizontally and you have to do that alot as it grows up to the screen.
also im wondering if i should trim a lot of the fan leaves off after it starts getting farther into the flower. im only like 3 days into my 2nd week. but im thinkin that they will stop growin n focus on buds by the 3rd week or middle of it. but i was readin raidermans grow and he trims when he throws em in flower an then after day 30 slowly takes the rest off. leaving only buds basically.
fellow rolll its you can post here if you have a 2 cents on any thing im sayin or askin. thanks
so today i filled the buckets back up to about 4" from top of bucket. all doin well. i did start a thread wondering about some of my plants leaves not sure what they are doin. or whats wrong. i made my solution to 5.8 123 at 1700 ppm about with the gh products. most buckets drank about half since i last filled them. which is good. only one did not really do squat.
and the middle bucket that i bent yesterday recovered vey nicely to my bends. btw i did trim the bottom crap off the plants yesterday. or maybe it was sunday i ono haha. im gunna try n take some good pics tomorro mornin before the lights come on and then post them up later.
update. so i have buds! not big ones but there def growin a lot faster then my last flower. i think its cuz all the elements are stable now.
i trimmed all my bottoms the other day and finished it off yesterday. plants didnt seem too affected by it. most the buckets seem to drink a 1 or 11/2 a day. but the center prob does double to 2 inches. cuz i think thats where most of the light is and maybe thats a huge difference. so saturday will be the start of the 3rd week and i hope to see some major bud production after that. but from the looks of this flower i think i may be disapointed again... heres a bunch of pics.
so didnt look at them this mornin . but just now there were a couple tipped plants. i just leaned em back up and got em sturdy so it wont happen again. some of the buds are lookin better but ehhhh. so i just heard 400's suck dick?????? true??
thanks cheeese! glad to see some interest in here.
update. plants have probly grown a foot an half or 3/4 . i have had a few tipping issues the last couple days but i just did the trustee electracal tape fix. i wrapped round main stem to 3 diff areas on the bucket lid. so it can go anywhere now.
today i went in and one of the peices of tape somehow unstuck itself . i wrapped it up so it cant do that again but!!! when i did that whoopsy one of the tallest branches jsut SNAPPED lol n peeled down to the bottom i was like oooops so i grabbed and put back into place and taped it back to itself where it would be if i didnt mess with it. i have heard people do this in other threads so i no itll be ok.
will be taking pictures tomorro morni and postin soon after hopefully.
