56 days huh? A quick look at seedsman says these are 8.5 weeks from germination. I would give them a dose of LITFA for a week and harvest them.
You have several weeks left so a kelp tea then normal feeding would be good. Being autoflower i am hesitant to tell you how much to feed.
That would be surprising looking at them but i could be mistaken.
I might just LITFA for a couple of weeks, but i am gonna harvest them when them trichomes are mostly amber, i believe i have been getting not so potent weed because of my eagerness to harvest. This time i am waiting till the end. U know.
I dunno where to get kelp, that is not something readily available down here, might have to start collecting it when i go to the beach. The Sweet Seeds website says it should be ready in about 60 days, they all say the same but i dunno manā¦ Might have to start looking at the trichomes.
In fact gonna do it nowā¦ BRB!
Banana ferment has a lot of potassium. You have several ferments right?
I made a lot yes, but my little fridge for my experiments is down, soā¦ I lost them. I do have the FFJ made of flowering cannabis i made a few months ago, and has been in the fridge and all. But i dunno, i am only gonna do Awesome Blossoms which is 2-11-11 and Sugar Daddy which is 0-0-0 but has molasses, sugar cane and another thingā¦ To finish it.
I see some tricomes amber already, i want them at least 30% amber and all the rest cloudy.

EDIT, and since they are close to finishing, gonna germinate some more. Maybe 3 Bears OG from Mephisto and do it in the 3 Bears OG thread there isā¦ YEAH!
Autos are suprisingly fast. Usually one gets three weeks of veg, then they flower in another six weeks. A lot can happen in a week.
I find it hard to believe there is a deficiency with 2.2 EC. Perhaps something else is locking out K, but there is definitely K in there. Iām always up for a dose of kelp though, Iāll use that on the day of harvest.
Well, pH is exactly at 6.3. It shouldnāt be blocked or stagnant or nothingā¦ Hmmm.
EDIT, measured pH and itās actually at 6.8, but that is still good right?
Thatās the pH you put in, what pH comes out? I would probably split the difference between my advice and @ryasco by giving them a light 1.0 EC feed with a good amount of run-off.
Itās hempys bro. I drain the old nutes before putting in the new ones, every time. Actually no more nutes for these ladies, i am very close to harvest, trichomes are starting to turn. I dunno what i was expecting to run them foreverā¦ LOL
I put in 6.2pH and 6.8Ph comes out, the measurement i just took was from one of the buckets, i drained it a little and measured pH and then put that back in.
I agree with @ReikoX. 2.2 is on the high side even for hydro, a good flush with lower nute strength around 1.2 might do the trick.
These are my Alien Rift and Lemon Garlic OG x Starfighter, getting the same exact treatment. Only difference is the method, the AR and LGOGxSF are in Canna Coco, and the Dar Devil in coco husks.
I dunno what you guys thinkā¦

Hempy is still hydro, I would have been feeding at 5.5, the natural swing would have put your runoff somewhere around 6.2-6.5 in theory!
I learned on here that plants need to be fed in the higher pH scale when going into flowering because they like more acidic at that stageā¦
Yup you lock out Phosphorous, Boron & Manganese at that high a ph
He would probably be ok in soil at that ph but not hydro.
Will be draining the plants and gonna give them nutes at 50% strengh with 5.7 pH, right nowā¦
Will not be flushing tho.
But your runoff at 6.8 says you could have started with a lower ph. Iirc hydro effective range is 5.5-6.2 with the optimum holy grail being 5.8
Still good looking plants and they are about done so things to play with next grow bro!
Yeah right, will not flush them but will give them nutes with right pH. Gonna update in about 10 minutes.
Wording?
Is that meant as an agreement or did you forget to italicizes that lol
