Guys here we are for the 1 day of the second week. today's been a big day, I transferred the girl into the net pot and clay, i also bought a small water pump to help me with the drainage of the bucket one every 10 days and I am using it as dripping too in the meanwhile. I increased the ppm, and raised the ph level a bit to 6. I also bought a new air stone as mine we 2 small 2cm once that were floating so i got a 5 cm diameter ball which is bubbling very well, I am very happy with it. I have some struggle with the temperature which tend to go a bit higher. TO BETTER DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM I TALK ABOUT IN THE QUESTION, REALLY HAVE THIS HEAT PROBLEM, THE ROOM HAS A DOOR WINDOW ALWAYS OPEN(JUST THE GLASS DOOR BUT WHEN I GO OUT THE OUTSIDE WOODEN DOOR ARE CLOSED, THE DUCT HOSE IS EXPELLING THE AIR IN THE SAME ROOM ABOUT 2 METERS FROM THE GROBOX. PROBLEM IS MY DWC BUCKET IS BLACK AND THE WATER INSIDE BECOME TOO HOT AND SMELLY. NOW I HAD TO REMOVE THE BUCKET LUCKLY THE PLANT DIDN'T GROW YET THE ROOTS THROUGH THE NETPOT. PLANT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AFFECTED YET hoping to see the roots pocking out the net pot in the next days. also have some doubt about the color of the leaves, I am sure it's just overthinking but it looks like they have a sort of darker shade. (see pics) guys as always any recommendation or suggestion would be very nice from you. and sorry for my english but that's not my native language cheers

Hi, same size tent as my old one, an heat was always a problem unless I left the tent door half unzipped. I can recommend having a fan inside the tent, instead of blowing air from outside in, use your extractor to draw the hot air out otherwise it will just hinder and cause high humidity, especially after watering. Once you have the fan in there and your extractor sucking the hot air out of the tent, whichever room your tent is in, leave that window open.. You'll be surprised how much it helps maintain a steady temperature as the outside of the tent being cool will keep the inside of the tent a good temp. Otherwise the whole room just cooks, had that problem and I really didn't enjoy it! Let me know how it goes and hope it helps you out.

I agree with @Michka, if the solution is at 6, she will recover just fine. One more thing, in about 3 of your photos, the tips of your leaves have browned. I think your nute levels might be a little high. In the past for me, just adding more water helped lower the PPM. Those tips will never go back to fully green, but they won't get worse and all your new leaves will look great. The plant will be fine.

first off, you're doing great! it's usually not safe to go off breeders' seed-to-harvest times. I'd recommend using a magnifying tool to check out the trichomes. her trichomes will tell you when she's ready to harvest.

@GrowingTime, It looks like even the trichomes on the sugar leaves are mostly cloudy with a bit of amber and clear. She looks like shes in the harvest window. You could let her go a few more days if you're flushing for color or wanting more amber trichs. Otherwise most of the pics you posted look like mostly milky trichs, so you could harvest whenever. thats my opinion lol

@JuicyBuds__BLM, I checked them today and I can already see many amber trichomes, I will try to snap some pics and add it to the 13th week, hope you can give me your opinion

you're very welcome! a common harvest point is mostly cloudy with a little bit of clear and a bit of Amber. but clear trichomes are the earliest, it'll look like little balls of clear water. then they'll progress into cloudy water to a milky faint white color. after that, they'll turn an Amber/orange color.make sure to check all over the plant too, on different bud sides and sugar leaves.

@GrowingTime, I'm not sure. That may be a little outside of my past experience. Any chance you can post a photo?

The 3rd & 4th pics look fine. I wouldn’t worry about the round leaves. They’ll fall off in a few weeks anyway.

@DudeGrowsWeed, you are right! it was just some beginner paranoid behaviour. I understood i just have to let her grow

Forgot to add, if your still having problems.. Replace the fan with a little air conditioning unit doesn't need to be super expensive either. Amazon/Ebay I'm sure you could find one on there for a reasonable price as the one I have was a few 100 but its now for my bigger space. Cant go wrong with that! Good luck!

Head over to my diary and click on "week 2". The 1st photo looks alot like yours. I'm growing a different strain which I think may account for some minor differences, but they really look alot alike to me. I think your plant is doing great!
