Hey Steel, I don't think this is your problem, but would recommend against experimenting with nutes across product lines, until you are sure you know how they interact. It's better to just stick to the feeding schedule if your selected nute brand, decreasing strength evenly across the board to maintain the prescribed ratio. For AN, they recommend to use the same concentration of bloom, micro, and grow. I would recommend sticking to that.

From what I see, the plants aren't flowering yet, so I wouldn't add Big Bud yet. However, you have a better view.

At this point, I think you may need to switch to a 12/12 light schedule to try to induce flowering. I had the same issue with my first grow, and had to treat like a photo for the rest of the grow.

With this stuff, less is always more...

I think since it's my first grow of any living plant. I rushed the grow cycle and I never really know where exactly it is in the life cycle yet. But it's doing well. Pics soon

Day 125?!
So much for those 90 days... yeah i know its a best case scenario from the breeder. I plan to start flushing in a few days just to be on the safe side. Pictures are trash but you get a idea of the size of this Polar Express Auto by Auto Seeds. Its got nute burn pretty bad. Or maybe light burn but the light I am using has gone to its maximum height allowed.

Room temp 72f
Humidity 50%
Nutrient temp 64f at all times (nailed the diy chiller!)
AN ph perfect bloom only

Steel, the plant can't be ready to flush at this point. Just read back through the post and three weeks ago, you saw no signs of Flower. You need to check the trichomes to see if they are all cloudy or with some amber. I am sure they are still clear and growing.

 

[Iriee Vibez]

Wait, now I am confused. Do you have two plants going?

Iriee, No just one. I was unsure how to post the grow journal and there is a few threads of this grow floating around in here. my apologies for the confusion. and yes i have a gotten a view with a 20x loupe and they are very clear. its still growing. So do i wait to flush until the trichomes are cloudy or until the pistils are red? I dont have a real prefrence in the high but i want it to be as potent as it can be.

So is it 90 something days or 125 days old.

I would keep feeding until you get it close to where you want it. So,e folks go for all cloudy, some go even longer until they see amber trichs. Depends on your preference. dWC doesn't require more than a two or three day flush, so you can wait until they are basically ready to chop.

Great info. 2-3 days for flushing? Thats not long at all. Thanks for stopping by on the grow Iriee! hope all is well.
