Hello there ppl,i've got 6 super critical ladies flowering on day 51 and i am about to flush them
because i fed too much epsom salts that fried them a little :wall:.
They need about 12-15 days as
the seed companies suggest..

Should i give em more time to recover
from the shock like 20 days or smth ?add nuts and when ?:-?
I use biobizz all-mix and light mix soil,mixed together and biobizz nutes.
Cheers :peace:

Just give them well PHd water and they should be able to recover. They wont die just maybe lose some final weight.

Go by the trichs to tell when theyre done though the companies suggestion is just that. A suggestion.

chop em when theyre cloudy with a few ambers for best results.

Thanks for stopping by,so no nutrients at all until i chop ?Some root juice maybe to help them ?

You can give them whatever nutes you want but if you want to flush em out a little give them a few complete soakings of neutral ph water.

water them until water is coming out the bottom

fully saturate

only do this for a couple days max though

then return with full strength nutes so they can recover and get some more weight/resin on them.

flush with double the amount of your pot size in water, or possibly un till fair amount of run off atleast

The art of flushing: It's not about dumping a 5 gal bucket of water down your plant's proverbial throat. Use warm, ph balanced water. Warm is key. A proper flush is broken up into two sessions. First session loosens the particles we're trying to flush. Wait one hour. Come back and repeat the flush, this is the one that actually flushes your impurities from the medium.

As others have mentioned, each flushing should be thorough. You should see free flowing water draining out the bottom. Make sure the water is dripping away from the plant, don't allow the plant to sit in the puddle.

So i can avoid flushing by doing this?Just water neutral ph water for a couple times and continue to feed?

Yup you want to saturate the roots fully but do it slow. the first time I used dolomite lime I gave them a tad too much now I just add it to the soil before I plant em.

I have already watered them once but not full saturated.What do u mean slow ?
I want to mention that they look stacked and almost all the leafs excpect the very top of them
are turning yellow with purple edges curling upwards and the lowest are dying.:sad:
Buds are not futing up as they should imo,i also have low temperatures in the grow room,15-18C when
the lights are on and it falls to 9-10 when off which is something that i cant fix/afford at the moment
that makes the condition worse.

They sound like they're askin for nutes. And as for watering slow I mean add a few cups of water at a time don't just go pourin a gallon in there straight haha

but the higher ph is probably sucking the cal mag and p k out of the soil extra fast be aide it best absorbed at the 7.0-9.0 ph range

Or you could be locking out nitrogen with that high ph

so hit em hard with those flowering nutes and some extra nitrogen ph'd to about 6 or 6.2 and they should come back
as for temps I don't know what to tell ya to help but if you have any device like an Xbox or computer you could run in the grow room they make make shift heaters haha not recommended for the long haul but they should hold you're temps a lil higher

They look a little better after the soakings, now i ll feed for 2 times
the next time clean water and then harvest.:eyesmoke:

So i got a situation these days,on Monday i will cut some plant's big buds because i have to leave the city and a friend will continue the job until harvest.
The problem is that i have 3 days to dry it and then pack it sealed.I dont know when i will be able and have the time and place to open the package again in the next 10 days.
What would be the best way to dry it in 72 hours and avoid any troubles with mold after packing it?I have no choise but this because i wont have any
chance to get some ganja for the next 2 months.:wall:

Of course the main cola of the plant and the rest 5 plants will dry/cure the right way
and be consumed in the Easter.Cheers:bigjoint:

Well if you have a tent i did a little setup on how i dry my plants in a short amount of time with minimal curing.

Just make sure you seperate every bud from the stem and chop apart the bigger colas.

This will help dry a little better.

Keep the room/tent well ventilated but not too much or youll over dry your shit.

check out htis link and maybe you can build something smaller in a box or something.

Thanks for the advice bro,i cant afford to build anything at this time i dont even
have time to visit my place and money to support this,but i have to say its a very clever
idea.Good job.
I will give it a chance the next time.
What if i hang them on a string inside a box with a fan blowing straight to it and cover the top with
some pieces of paper to block most amount of the air ?

Thats what i was sayin when i said build something! haha even if its outta cardboard.

But yeah just make sure the box is big enough and set the fan to turn on and off every so often so you dont over dry the plant.

Id say once an hour for 15 minutes should be nice? maybe less depending on fan strength and RH of your area

If its dry use less about 15 every 2 hours and its its very humid use the 1 hour off 15 on and i wouldnt go any faster than that.

good luck!!! take some pictures so you can throw em up when you got more time!

I would always suggest to use cold water. As cold as you can get it even. Its final days are here and you want to signal the plant to give off its final energy boost. It will go hand in hand with turning off the lights for the last 24hrs. You are replicating the coming frost or end of season .

Well we got high RH here so i ll go with the 1/15 and use a big box.Should i cover it as i said or let the top open?Thanks again
