Not even close?

[Markus1017]

Vegged for 1 month almost 7 weeks from flip. Ffof soil 5 gallon fabric pots. Been using gh micro and bloom 5ml of micro and 35ml of bloom in 3 gallons of water ph 6.5-6.7 every 3-4 days. I have a 60x-120x pocket microscope but I don’t want to keep cutting samples off if I’m not even close. The pics were from a 40x loupe. I’m wondering because this plant “hairs” are changing color pretty quick and my other plant is almost all white hairs.

This is the other plant for reference.

None of those plants are close to being ready. At least a few more weeks. Be patient.

Ok sounds good! Getting a little antsy but can’t ruin it now haha

3 weeks, and then post more pics. The #1 mistake a lot of growers make is chopping too early. Once you see how they look when fully mature, you'll get what I mean. They will fatten up quite a bit.

 

[Markus1017]

Awesome thank you so much for the reassurance!

 

[Markus1017]

Only been 2 weeks but one is fading pretty fast. I’m still feeding 5ml of micro and 45ml of bloom in 3.5 gallons of water every other watering. Lots of pics lol. Thank you so much for all your help!

There are so many new flowers still.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Those things will look like you put frosting on them when they are ready to chop.

Things are moving forward ( look at your first pics and latest ) .... bulking and hardening.
Dont cut yourself short and pull to early. Let them ride . I believe an easy 2 Weeks for pistils to finish coloring off ( some strains will have a few white ones left ) but the majority of them pulling back will signal more maturity.

They look better and better .... keep going.

I have no problem waiting another 2 weeks I’ve waited this long so far lol. I just wasn’t sure about the leaves fading and turning purple and some falling off. I thought the leaves only do that if you flush at the end. You think I should ease up on the nutes as I get closer to harvest.

I'd keep feeding them. What are your temps like?

And is the more faded part right under the light?

 

[Markus1017]

Temps are 73 at night and up to 81 during the day. Damn you’re right the faded parts are directly in the middle of the light can’t believe I didn’t put that together. Why is that?

Because that's where the light is the most intense, so the plant is working the hardest at that point. Therefore, it's gonna be using more nutrients in that spot. It's not getting enough from its roots, so it's stealing it from its closest leaves. It looks like it wants more P and K in that part of the plant.

I'd just keep feeding it, but you could raise the light if you really want. Or better yet, keep feeding and figure out how to create a more even light spread for next time. They look nice though man. Good job.

Where did you get that ration of GH? And are you only using the two part?

 

[Markus1017]

What a great explanation I really appreciate that. It makes total sense. Can’t wait to get rid of this blurple led.

I’ve just been using the micro and the bloom. I was feeding 5ml of micro and 10ml of bloom per gallon of water but I didn’t think I need as much nitrogen so I cut down on the micro and once I saw the leaves fading I added some more bloom. I’m pretty inexperienced at using nutes so I could be way off lol

@Renfro is the one I'd be asking about using the GH nutrients. I'm growing fully organically now, but I just bought the GH Trio to try in some coco sometime to do a fun little experiment against my no-till. I think I just need the CaliMagic now. So I'm really not the one to give advice about the chemical nutes yet.

I’ve used the Lucas formula with some success. But after @Renfro said using 3 part will give more potassium during late flowering/ripening. The micro isn’t just nitrogen.
