I was also intrigued , I think it’s part of the gnats war, so no bottom watering, will the sand resist top watering? Always thought it would drain down through the soil while watering, must be a partial solution…
Not much air exchange in pot I would imagine and watering would need to be perfect
Bottom of pot risk of stagnation not good for roots or good life ( aerobic ) but good for the bad stuff ( anaerobic )
Plus sand compounding the effect of no holes ( even harder for soil to breathe )
I don’t do organics but I assume you bubbling tea so your bacteria is aerobic ?
Weed control fabric would be a better choice maybe for gnat control for top and bottom of pot
Yeah it’s only for a small period… the gnats are already gone… just ensuring larvae don’t live…
Is it just me or they look a tad hungry? Buds look great although …
They are extremely hungry from the rinse they got last week taking them to 440… the. N feed taking them to 630… they need some normal stuff… it’s been a trading game lately with feed…
Thank you for the kind words on buds!! It’s what I care about the most obviously lol
Here’s upclose pics
Clones today… they are moving so fast… all I can keep saying about them, freaky fast! Like Jimmy Johns!! 🪴
Hell yeah, TnP. Clones are getting massive. Good work.
Sand, mosquito dunks, and duct tape. Who’da thunk it eh!
Lol only a sensei…
So today I pulled tape off the bottoms… I saw like 4 or 5 alive… killed 4 and 5th ended up here immediately
Today marks day 35 of flower
About 35 - 40 days to go…
25-30 days is about it…….
Damn… they won’t get very big lol… that’s ok
Here they are today… the 1 in the back is getting dry fast… it got a 900 ppm veg feed day before yesterday… and already it’s light … tomorrow it will get a flower feed finally… so that ought to make it happier… buds are getting Frost on them now on that 1 especially
This far into flowering if I may ask why are you giving her veg food ?
I’ve always believed it’s far more beneficial to lower or eliminate all n in this stage ?
I heard something like to keep veg food two weeks after flipping, makes sense …
That’s what I do 20/20/20 the 2 weeks of transition only then bloom
@George
Yes many run veg feed 2-3 weeks after flip , plant still needs big N as she is building stem and leaf
Hey @Papalag the reason I gave a veg was 2 fold… 1 sidebof the coin… I didn’t have bloom feed and I am waiting on delivery…
2nd reason, all the bottom leaves were going extremely fast and while that’s somewhat normal I know it was completely out of N… so I wanted to get some in there…
I do not believe in stripping N completely in flowering because plants use some still… so moving forward with other plants in flowering I’ll be doing much lower N because the leaves will already have some stored (these plants were locked out for a whole week) leaves didn’t have much stored…
So I wanted to ensure giving them something to eat along with a dose of calmag… which I thought I wouldn’t need but clearly do…
It’s all a juggling act right now in other words …
