Day 43. Nothing done today Day 44. Got a new close up camera attachment so can now get some nice trichome shots. Eddy 2 is really stretching out nicely and building buds. Even though Iโ€™ve done LST the main cola is still a lot bigger than the rest so Iโ€™m just hoping Iโ€™ve got enough room in my cabinet to fully finish the grow. Eddy 1 has not started to stretch yet and comparing her to earlier photos of eddy 2 I think she is about a week behind. Iโ€™m assuming that means harvest for her will be later? Watered 2 l with half flower nutes, .5 ml per l cal mag and a bit of great white mycorrhizae. Day 45. Nothing done with plants. But been working on the new veg cabinet and drying cabinet. Day 46. Finished building the new veg cabinet so have put my Carolina reaper chillis in there to see what type of changes it makes to temps/humidity as it vents into the main cabinet. Took a couple lower leaves off of each plant. Also moved the LST up a node on Eddy 2 to try and bring her main cola lower to match some of the others. Watered 2 l with half flower nutes, .5 ml per l cal mag. Day 47. Nothing done Day 48. Heat from LED in veg cabinet is very high, struggling to get temps in flower cabinet below 26 c when veg light is on. thinking may need more fresh air flow that doesnโ€™t come from veg cabinet so might put in another 4 inch hole. Did a bit of defoliation and watered with ph 6.3 water no nutes. Day 49. Added a larger circulation fan to try and combat the excess heat. Currently running between 26 and 28 degrees C which I donโ€™t think is the end of the world but ideally would be lower.

SparkyGrowstarted grow question 4 years ago
Should I up the nutes? Iโ€™ve been feeding 1/4 amount for the last 3 feeds. Iโ€™ve read that after first week of 1/4 up it to 1/2, but from what I can see (foliage pic added) everything looks like itโ€™s quite healthy. Will plant benefit with more or should I stay as I am? Cheers

Hi mate, your plant looks really healthy so I would hold of just now. Soil growing is very forgiving so you'll see issues straight away. I'd wait till she had grown a little before increasing nutrients. By that time you may be in flower so it works out. Good luck and happy growing.

Hi, I have broken the main stem on a fast eddy automatic while doing LST. I only noticed it this morning after LST yesterday. The tip of the stem and all leaves after the break seem to have bounced back up to the light since yesterday. will she be ok? Anything I can do to help?

If you are happy with the direction your plant is growing, just leave as it is, it will be fine and grow normally despite the fractured stem. There is no need to bandage the fracture in any way - covering it with something is more likely to induce a mould or fungus to attack the break. Leave it to air dry and it will heal over with a crust and be perfectly fine. Trying to move it after leaving it for so long will likely cause more damage and is not recommended. If this happens again in the future, using a splint attached with some soft wire or string above and below the break, and put in place within a few minutes of the break occurring can result in the break healing completely, allowing you to remove the splint after 2-3 weeks, checking that the stem can hold the weight before removing the splint entirely. A bamboo stake, skewer or wooded stick all make good splints, but once again, make sure not to cover the fracture when tying on the splint, the fracture needs to air dry and heal. I keep a selection of dried and various lengths and thicknesses of cannabis stems/branches from previous harvests for use as splints, should I have a need to use them in future grows. It is then simply matching the old stem size to the size of the fractured stem/branch. High stress training can involve snapping stems and is very similar to fractures, and the plants do not seem to suffer in any way from this technique. Cannabis is a remarkably resilient plant and I have had tree branches fall on outdoor plants, doing many fractures and much damage, but after removing the tree branches and allowing a couple of days for the cannabis plant to sort itself out, have had them then grow and flower as though nothing ever happened to them at all. Hope this helps,............ Organoman.

Hi all, noticed some brown spots on leaves, from google images Iโ€™m assuming cal/mag deficiency. Anyone able to confirm or advise on what it is before their next feed? Cheers

The two curling leaves in the bottom picture look like there is a hotspot. If itโ€™s the plant the cfl light was on itโ€™s probably just a little light bleach. You usually want them like 4-6โ€ from leaf. Happy growing looking good!

Can anyone give me a clue as to why the leaves on my fast eddy are going this colour, sheโ€™s fed every 2 days with tri part nutes. At 1/2 the recommended dosage. Guessing sheโ€™s got about 2 weeks until I start to flush her. Thanks

I would be tempted to alter your feed to grow 0ml/L Micro 0.7ml/L Bloom 1.4ml/L Cal Mag 0.5ml/L You prob have a few weeks left till you start flushing, your plant will be taking nutrition away from the big leaves at this stage. When they start looking bad like that I tend to remove them to allow light to lower parts. The reason I say change your feed to above is to lower N and increase P and K

Are these buds likely to fatten up? Looking very long and spindly. Photos are day 66 of an expected 84 (?) grow. Main cola tip starting to get amber trichs. Is this fox tailing?

Looks like one of those strains that just builds fat calyxes on top of each other in a fashion that is similar to fox tailing Looks like everything is in order tho. It should pack on some more weight for sure.. but I wouldnโ€™t expect anything like double or triple size at this point

Hey man. Nice plants ๐Ÿ˜„ To me, purple stems and yellowing leaves means MG deficiency. I would treat this by watering with Epsom salts at 1 teaspoon per litre. Sometimes cal-mag can cause more harm than good. If you don't have a calcium deficiency then you will end up with a calcium excess which locks out magnesium. There is no such thing as a cal-mag deficiency - they are two different elements and it is easier to treat them separately. Hope this helps, and good luck with the project ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

@GhettoSetUp, thanks for that mate. Would you carry on using cal mag then add Epsom salt as an extra on top of that? Appreciate the help.
