give them veg ferts (fish solution)

Stop trying to hard
Used 5 gallon bucket its cheap
Bail of spagne will fill 4-5 bucket

ive never seen it before.

NOW. i did have it in flip mode 12/12 for 4-5 days like 3 weeks ago. and i did that with others also

time is on 20-4 im pretty sure.

The trichomes are actually on the plant in veg as well as bloom. Normally they are just so small, you don’t notice them until they start to get bigger after bloom hits.

wasnt sure if it was autoflowering on me.

hahaha!

If you ask me… that is a sign that she could be an exceptional plant… I can’t believe these beans are sitting idle at GLG. You are in for a real treat when those finish up :wink:

that said, your tops are kinda tightening up like they would in beginning of flower.
Did you sex them under 12/12 and then put them back to veg?
If not I would say you could be seeing a stress response and they want to flower.
There are limits to how much stress we can put on plants before they start to do odd things. Not saying that is the case… but thought I would mention it.

she was just Uppotted . . and should be doing well - no stress… a little bit less strength of lighting

Other good news@!!

Confirmation on a female TRAINWRECK from @Barefrog
The smallest of the three!@
GERMINATED FEB 04 - BROKE SOIL FEB08
SHOWED sex to me
little long time in veg…something is effecting my grows…my guess is the cold concrete basement and failure to provide a stable temperature cycle
MARCH 22
and a confirmation of a female SNOWMONKEY FROM @CADMAN
BROKE SOIL FEB08

she was sexced under flower cycle regimen and put back into veg.

this is the current veg cycle . 8pm. OFF to 2 am ON
i hope thats what 0200 - 2000 is lol

everything seems relatively happy now…

ive been vegging these plants for what seems like forever.

is there any nutrient that increases the growth of fresh branches? im even considering topping or putting some into flower again to get some new growth for cuts.

Salut et Merci!

Got my buckets ! some i am very interested in!!
3 GAL . I Wanted something narrow.
@DougDawson @joecool @Foreigner
any of you reccommend drilling some additional drainage holes for these buckets? currently only 4.


also picked up my first (not hand me down) BL PEN …

*TRIED to calibrate the one my friend gave me and i let it dry out…didnt work… hopefully i take better care of mine having paid full retail for it!

& it recommends letting it soak 24 hours when first purchased. this standard?? im doing it however eager i am to test what ive been feeding LOL
this is the old one sitting in 4.0 solution - reading 7.0 after failing to calibrate lol


going to toss the old one in to equipment thread maybe its of use to someone

yea??? haha some reason I have the simpsons episode in mind with the racing holes lol when i have pots

but i guess you dont want the roots getting air or exposed to light - if i was going to drill 177 holes in the bucket lol

Lots of guys use plenty more holes. I prefer just a few at the bottom.

If it were me I would add a few more holes but they will likely do fine the way they are. The 24 hour soak is a recommendation I have seen when the pens don’t get used for a certain period of time so seems pretty normal.

2 Likes

yes - there was a salt crust around the bulb straight out of the box. normal as the instructions said.

im in no rush . ill soak it.

thanks !

Have you tried letting it soak in hydrogen peroxide over night ? Then into the 7 for a day then try and calibrate it.
Might get it back working

Standard soaking solution is a water KCL solution, but as said above may just need to give it a soak and scrub especially if it went crusty
