I have buds , what now

[Rymerpt]

My Thai teenagers have many tiny buds ( bought as a six pack early march). Some seem to be trying to bloom.

Here is a top view while bottom watering:

I'm bottom watering with a bit of 10-10-10. They look great.

QUESTION= do I need to do anything now that I am seeing flowers?



Thanks for your input

More time to grow. Lol.. Looking good!

You need something very few of us have.....patience. Sorry. Had to!

If you aren't already giving them something with a good amount of calcium in it, be sure to start now to help avoid blossom end rot.

Don't get discouraged with flower drop.
Some may pod up right away, some may drop for what seems forever.
My Thai's are prolific, and seem to not have as much flower drop as other varieties.

I have been seeing mention of calcium a lot. Please elaborate. What should I get or what might be an inexpensive alternative.


Thanks

Cal-mag

Look at the local grow shop or ebay

Here is a link that might help you with finding a way and it is something you can make yourself, rather than going with Mal-Mag which is not cheap.

Smoke that shit!

I use CalMag, but almost any fertilizer made for tomatoes works.

 

[mrgrowguy]

I use this...

And I'm not stoned (at the moment).

There's some hydro companys making organic liquid bone meal. Like calmag its not cheap, but its great stuff. I would recomend the one i use but alas it appears not to exist. its 3d organics liquid bone but their site shows no mention of it (odd, i've been using it two years now and have a gallon on reserve at the hydro shop). There are, other brands if you search liquid bone meal.

 

[Gotrox]

CalMag+ for me.
Not cheap, but it goes a long way.
The smell takes getting used to.

I was hoping I get enough calcium out of my faucet...  I'm hoping so...   I'll find out when/if I notice  BER this year.

I get this (below) out of my faucet and haven't experienced any Ca deficiencies over the last 3 years...
