Flowers are stacking. That's the sign of health you're looking for. Roots do look good. Mine do the same in the buckets
 
Day 48 - finally got some decent bud shots. Looks like they might be starting to change colors a little bit. I see some purple hues coming through on the queens banners....

If you are not growing to sell or gift away, you are going to have a problem(a good one though). In an 8 by 8 tent with hood lighting, you will be measuring your harvest in pounds, probably several. That is way above hobby level in my view. Nothing wrong with too much weed.
I do 2 of 2x4 and one 4x4. Never too much, and I like to store some away frozen. Give some away. Don't always fill them up either, good to have room. Wish I had room with lights on ceiling.

I don’t smoke much so I haven’t even used my tent in 3 years(I think it has been that long but time is difficult during the time of COVID). I took a couple years off completely and still had a half pound when I grew last summer outside. I just don’t have enough people to give weed to since my sons moved out and have backed way off on their smoking. I still give an ounce or so to them when they visit and they give it away. I have a 3x3 tent but it is in storage.
 
Day 52 - so I figured out how to take decent pictures finally. Here are a few that look pretty good. I just turned out the lights and turned the flash on...pretty stoked to smoke on this!

Happy 420! 🔥📈❄️
 
Anytbing I need to do last couple weeks of flower? I think these will be ready around day 80 after looking at some other grows of the same strains....

I read you need to reduce nitrogen...flora flex nutes has nitrogen in their b1 formula...it's actually the same amount as their v1 which doesn't make sense to me....b1=14-0-22. V1= 14-0-4....

It doesn't have me reduce b1 at all....I feel like I should since the pk booster will help with the k right? And I'm supposed to not have nitrogen late in flower, right?

Anytbing else I need to be doing to fatten these things up last few weeks?

Thanks in advance!

Put one in the air for ya boy!
 
I cut my a and b nutes to half on week 7, then to Zero on weeks 8 and 9 and I run only boosters, cal mag, and silica.

Perfect thank you...it will be a balance with these autos since they are all in different stages....not sure what to do...a couple are just starting to flower....but I think these first 4 will be done in 3 weeks....

Well **** I need to stop smoking so much lol....floraflex chart does have all this in their chart...week 7 cut all a and b nutes and just run the full tilt....should I do this even though some have just started flowering? I was gonna cut them next time I change res...Sunday.

Hard to say. If you cut it too soon you'll hurt yield. I would just run nutes all the way through on the early ones

I always keep the foam packing from infinity fans and other devices. I stack them up under the pots to raise the shorter ones and even up the canopy.

That is a great idea....I would have to change our the tubing underneath my buckets tho to give them more slack I think....I don't think I have it in me to mess with that right now lol! There are only 2 that are really short and not even with the rest they are with...they will be ok. I was more worried about the watering bc it would be kind of a huge pain in the ass to try to water different ones with different mixtures....I'm just gonna keep giving them the a and b for awhile....I'll prob cut them in half when i change res this weekend. Then maybe next weekend cut them out completely and just use the full tilt per the schedule....hopefully that will give the smaller ones some time to catch up...
 
What's up fellas....day 61 today...do you guys always flush? Is it a requirement or is there some debate on the topic?

Do you think I should start flush now? How long do you flush for usually? Chart says 2-7 days before harvest. Could I take a couple branches off this and throw it in the cannatrol now? Like a partial harvest? Or should I really flush before doing anything else?

I was thinking maybe wait till Monday and take her down?

As always any and all advice is appreciated!

As far as flushing is concerned, I don’t try to drown them with water in an effort to flush anything out of the soil. I stop giving them nutrients 22 days before harvest, and just water them as usual.

Do you grow in soil? There is no way I could do that in coco I don't believe...
