With the website issues we have had lately I figured it was a good idea to go ahead and cover my flower transition routine. I will be going from my 1-gallon pot the plants currently inhabit into a 3-gallon pot for flower. I will not do this until the clones show sex but being that I have 1 feminized seed (Critical Orange Punch), I am going to up-pot her today to document the processes and will up-pot the other 7 lucky ladies as they are chosen over the next week.
Here is a better picture of the clones.
Here is a photo before the transition, She has a nice 4 top structure and can't wait to see her in full bloom.
I start this process by making a 4-gallon pot of "Transition tea"
Transition Tea 4 gallons of RO water
1 Tablespoon Thrive.n
1 Teaspoon Grow-Sil
1 Teaspoon Big 6 Micros
2 Tablespoons Craft Blend
2 Cups BuildAFlower Topdress
I use a TeaLab Compost Tea Brewer for aeration and will brew for 32 hours, I used the mesh bag for the Craft Blend &BuildAFlower Topdress but will not strain the tea before use.
I start by placing four cups of Coco Croutons in the bottom of the pot to help aeration and drainage. I then add two cups of BuildAFlower Top Dress mixed with two cups of LOS 3.0. I mix these and add them to the bottom without adding any water.
One tablespoon of both Mykos and Azos are added to the bottom of the pot before placing the plant to ensure contact with the roots.
I then add 18 cups of LOS 3.0 to my mixing tote along with 2 cups of RO water and mix by hand breaking up any large clumps.
After thoroughly mixed it is added to the pot.
I then add six cups of BuildAFlower Topdress. I top the plant with one tablespoon of Kashi and two tablespoons of Craft blend.
Saturday update of the obvious winner.
Will do some up close, individual and comparison photos tomorrow. I've already done enough today.
Gotta ask though, I see a lot of great plants in this comp, but does anybody have this canopy and density.
Sapphire Og is the plant on back-left. The others are the Blueberrys, the smaller one in the cup hasn’t shown sex yet, if it turns out to be a male I already have 4 females. If it’s a female, I may decide to keep it if I like it’s structure better.
#115 heres an update on whats been happening I've been transplanting and doing some small trimming just to trim up some of the cold temp damage again that has really set me back oh well heres some pics and then a before and after of some clean up and after then repot and here is one I had to top while cleaning up this was done as necessary and here is an example of cold temp damage stunting my growth and causing some self topping so no topping necessary gotta love that should explode with growth with just cleaning and then just some pics of them all transplanted and then one of them watered will be watered once sometimes twice daily and watered and a quick pic to show them prayin to the lights yes pray my minions all right that's it for now happy growing!!

So sue me...
I hadn't planned on pruning any larf, but I found this so I had to change plans I know what cal-mag deficiency looks like, and that ain't it. I believe it is just from moisture. Every time I looked in on them there was water from natural transpiration being kept between leaves that were touching. So I lolli-popped all 4 the same (still sticking with that plan)
The pile of stuff came off the one plant to the left. The shoots setting to the side are the size example of the smallest ones that went. If they had open fan leaves, the shoots got snipped. The circle of window screen is for gnat defense, to keep them out of the soil. I had to do LST on one of the plants (FF Gringo Rasta) because everything was so vertical and crowded. Here is the 5 ounces of trash,
And the final product.
A day after the hair cut, ladies prayer session. The fuzzy tops are everywhere now.
Will drain, clean and juice up the res tomorrow when I transpla t clo d's and fill the last open tray. Love a full garden.
I’ve got four completely different phenos and I’ll select the best one to keep after it’s all been sampled. Then I’ve still got the other three that I put in dirt to get flowered.

Almost 6 weeks old. I had messed up with weeks count some where.
Any way, I switched to Bloom nutes and hope colas will get a big taller and buds will get fat.
All 7 plants were given 8 TBL of fresh EWC on Saturday and watered with 100ppms of Epsom salt and 75 ppms of seaweed extract.
Topped the 5 plants that were started from seed today.
Will move them to 12/12 Friday.
