Hey guys!
Scotty, Dude and Guru, I can’t thank you enough for bringing the feeling of a community to me during these weird times. I’m up in Alaska and it gets dark here quick fellas. But every time I open that tent up, its warm and sunny. Thanks for coaching me along daily in the garden.
I have two feminized Blue Venom (Blueberry x White Widow) just starting week 4 of flower. One of the two is growing a bit faster than the other. The pistols on the more aggressive one have already started turning orange. I am under the impression that this is a bit too early. This is my first setup. 4.5 x 2′ tent, soil medium, 3 gal mesh pots, synthetic nutes (Humboldt’s Secret), 2000w + 1000w spider farmer LED, 6.5ph, 900ppm, 45% humidity, temp kinda low @ 18-25 deg Celsius (that’s for you Dude), plenty of ventilation, watering every 3 days. Are the orange hairs premature?
Also, how often do you generally water at this point of flower and do you think Co2 canisters work that are of the “add water and shake” variety?? Thanks again for what you guys do!
My plant did the same thing like 2 weeks in flowering then it stopped and now has started again 6 weeks in. Im not worried abt it to much but would like to know if it is caused by anything or its just basic genetics thing.
Usually nothing to worry about. Can be a sign on pollination, but usually physical damage from grower fingers or a fan. Pretty early for pollination, I wouldn’t expect that.
I have been wondering for quite some time if that handling of the bud causes the hairs to darken. It always seems like the area of the canopy that I would work on would do that. Even though I am very much trying not to touch the top buds
They look like normal changing of color. I don’t see indicators that the plant has become pollinated, which will also make the pistils change color.
Watering depends upon the size of the pot, but usually at that stage of flower, I need to water every other day.
The Co2 generated from those types of devices are hard to get a consistent level with. The main thing being, is your tent sealed or not? If it is not sealed, you will be quickly exhausting the added Co2 out of your tent. Usually not as effective as one would hope and many people without sealed rooms skip the Co2. Really, that is one of the last things you want to add. Focus on getting the environmental controls dialed before you go about adding on the extra extras.
Generally, if you go into your tent and sing it a few songs every night, your exhales will increase the Co2 in the tent and give it a little bump up. Thats an easy way to add some Co2. 🙂
I have started exercising during watering. That will create a lot of CO2 I assume. Two birds one stone
Great tips! I appreciate the reply. I will keep learning as I go. I’m not too worried about the early orange hairs anymore now have a plant that totally wilted overnight!. Thanks again
