Hope you don't get cold Autumns where you live. Sativas have more like a 10 to 12 week flowering period, on average, and with that level of defoliation you're not speeding things up any. On the plus side she looks happy enough, and being that tall should have a decent yield. Good luck.

How though? If you get an auto that won't flower you usually would just put it under 12/12 to trigger, a bunch of other people have done that. Would you risk them revegging by going back to 18/6? And how many people out there would try to breed "defective" auto plants? If you did would you...

Montanto's first foray into weed probably.

Maybe it would work because autos wouldn't have the genes to reveg. I'm only guessing here, I'm not a geneticist either lol. Could have the photo genes to trigger the hormonal shift, but the auto genes to not reveg. That would actually be really useful. Trigger flowering when she's the right...

They could use a spray bottle, but they would need to do it at lights out. Some people think that using a spray bottle encourages your plant to send roots out to the sides and that a teaspoon encourages it to grow a stronger taproot. I don't know about that, but roots will grow better in the...

Moist, but not mud and you don't want the soil to dry out for seedlings. I use a teaspoon to gently water right beside the stem a little bit at a time. Time consuming, but you won't have to worry too much about overdoing it.

Haven't there been some "autos" recently that needed 12/12 to trigger flowering, but after that could be switched back to 18/6 for the rest of the cycle? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. Would still be a breeder fuck up.

I've never crossed a strain with hemp, but hemp usually has a high lever of CBD iirc. So you'd probably end up with seeds that are lower in THC and higher in CBD than weed, but higher in THC and lower in CBD than hemp. Garbage if you are a rec smoker, maybe not bad if you're a med smoker. And...

The only problem I can see is that bacteria from the environment can grow in the reservoir as it is a damp dark place. I've been running a dehumidifier 24/7 (except in winter, it's onboard sensor shuts it off when it gets below 30%) for a few years now. I've noticed a yellow film in the bottom...

That's the only soap I've ever heard of that's effective on caterpillars. Learn something new every day. Bacillus Thuringiensis, it's a specific bacteria, usually sold as a concentrate that you then make a spray out of. Caterpillars eat it and they die. Specific to caterpillars. I use Safer's, a...

Are the leaves that are dying shaded like that all the time? If so it's just the plant conserving resources. I use insecticidal soap for aphids and mites, but I heard a rumor it's bad for trichomes. I haven't experienced this, but someone else may have.

Soap is not really good for caterpillars. BT is what you want. It's a bacteria, so I'm pretty sure it's organic.

Your pistils/stigmas are just starting to turn, I'd say probably 3 weeks you should start checking trichs. Really depends on whether it falls as an indica or sativa flowering time. If the calyxes/bracts swell about two weeks from now you're getting close.

Some growers like to put the name of the mother plant then the name of the "father", so maybe an OG Kush mother and a Haze "father"?

I use promix herb & veggie. Has the mycorrhizae mixed in, don't need to feed for a month to 6 weeks, and I've never had gnats in my indoor grows.

Now I'm curious what the buds will grow like. Keep us updated.

When you potted up, you should've had plenty of nutes in the soil. Enough for a couple of weeks at least. What kind of soil are they in, and why is there so much perlite on top? Is there at least some mixed in? New soil + nutes could lead to a lockout.

Mycorrhizae are beneficial fungal spores, they can't burn your plant.

Blue Widow, cross of Blueberry and White Widow. Good for both arthritis and insomnia, sweet with a little pine to it.

She's standing, and after that one branch came off the rest of the plant is doing well. I'll have to support her for the rest of the season, but small price to pay. And it's raining now, so won't have to worry about watering. Should help her grow some new roots on the weak side. Thanks
