I fucking knew it was the vongola crest(90% sure). nice.

what are you using for flowering nutes? you should mix up a batch of bat guano tea... get a cheap air pump, some tubing, an air stone, some clay pellets (like the kind used for hydroponics) and a mesh bag to put them in... set the airstone on the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket along side the bag of clay pellets. next mix in some high phosphorus high potassium bat guano, fossilized sea bird guano, some worm castings, and one or two teaspoons of molasses (doesnt need to be precise)... let it brew with the air pump running for 24 hours and you will be in buisness....

the clay pellets give the beneficial bacteria a nice place to colonize while the air pump makes sure there is plenty of oxygen to keep the aerobic bacteria nice and healthy... the molasses acts like a carbohydrate with the added benefit of being high in minerals/micronutrients. you can feed ur plants this solution everytime u water, u dont have to worry about nute burn, or nute lock out and you will have some amazingly delicious buds i promise.... also i do some supplementing feeding with liquid kelp, it is high in nitrogen though so use it sparringly while ur plants are in flowering.

it is time to switch to flowering nutes for plant # 1 but not plant #2. Could I add guano to my tea and my 5-10-10 stuff?

July 1, Day 40, day 28 of 12-12, Day 28 plant#2. I think i'm gonna say this is week 1 of flowering for plant#1. I'm seeing presexing so i should start counting right? since i am already running 12-12.

no, i wouldnt mix them. your better off feeding on alternating days but remember the most common screw up is overfeeding and overwatering. make sure you let your plant dry out enough inbetween waterings and never feed fertilizer back to back waterings. always alternate between nutes and just plain water. start out with light feedings (25% strength) for the first cycle of feedings, than keep increasing it till week 6. i play it by ear but i generally stick to the guideline feed:water:water

yes your plants are already in flowering, you should be giving them flowering nutes as soon as you switch to 12-12.

Plant #2 should be pre-sexing any time now..lol but plant #1 is a female. if you zoom on top area of pic 3 you can see female preflowers.

keeping my fingers crossed ur second plant is also a lady...

also i feel like ur journal is starting to turn into the repp and sum thread. too bad we dont have our afix avatars, than we would really confuse the people here xD
