Hey growmies, I'm reading over this thread and I have a few questions I would like to ask. I'm running 6 autos that are 65-70 days from seed to harvest. I am currently at day 58 from Aug 5th. One started flowering early at day 48 or 50 the other 4 last week. I'm running Gaia Green Powerbloom 2-8-4 with plain water PHd at 5.9 I top feed every 5th of the month. Would you suggest another top feed or just let them run without? BTW, I highly doubt they will be done in 70. Thanks for listening.
Ya need to start a journal dawg. I'd like to see these plants. If they're 50 days in they may have another 30 to go. So yeah I'd feed them your magic mixture.
I feed them till a few watering are left. Then plain water. I don't consider it a flush. That's not really necessary. More of a growers option than necessity.

So you only feed once a month?

yes, should I feed more frequent? Last feed was Terpinator and CalMag. I have a 12 gallon res that I fill with these Autopots. These girls run through that in 5 to 6 days. The res was filled with PHd water at 5.9 last Tues or Wed and it is empty today. What schedule would you suggest in feeding? All im using is Gaia Green power bloom 284 top fed at 4 tbsp. per pot, 1 cup worm castings I pick up from a local farm down the road added 3 to 4 tablespoons of basalt rock, diatomaceous earth @1/2 cup per pot, seems like a lot but I was battling some insect issues. I would like to think my coco is well amended but who knows I'm a newbie.

Those numbers are just a guide to give a clue. I use the scope or Jewelers loop to check trichomes once I am at almost all milky I stop feeding usually have 2 weeks left and I start the flush.

I usually start the feeding schedule recommended by the instructions on the package and adjust from there. You start getting burnt tips dial back, just s bit. You start seeing yellowing or lines in your plants feed a little more. Some plants just need more food than others.

got it! I did notice on the one that started flowering early, her leaves are a little light in color. I checked the PH last night and it sits at 6.5 so I figured she must need to be fed more since she's a beast of a plant. I will step up the feeding. Help much appreciated!
 
I just finished splitting up my harvested between me and my brother ended up with 1.25 oz each. I think it's done curing. Now time to enjoy it.

I let it get a bit dryer then I wanted to but it still acts kinda like kinetic sand when put in the grinder. I'm happy with it. It's no longer harsh at all and has a nice citrus taste good buzz too!

Congratulations....!!!!!

You got some really nice bud and are well on your way to a bigger harvest this round.

I'd a thought you'd have gotten more from that nice plant but pics are deceiving. I'm pretty confident your going to exceed that 2.5 mark.

Beautiful grow. Your going to go far in this growing gig. Your patience and ability to just follow a method and stick with it speaks volumes. That's all it takes. If it works...work it like a Boss.

I'm glad we've crossed paths and I'm real glad you joined up here at the Passion. Great place to grow as a human and a gardener.

Thank you, I couldn't have done it without help from everyone online! I learned a lot from this first grow and it's really rewarding at the end. I can't even believe I actually managed to do it all. My brother didn't do anything but help invest in the set up that plant start to finish was all me.

I hope I can keep learning and make some more beautiful bud and as much as I would of liked to get a little more out of her I really am quite satisfied just not enough to stop wanting to make it better
