Day 50. Lovely smells starting to come through now. Both smell like a fruit salad sweet but eddy 2 has a definite citrus smell also which eddy 1 doesn’t have.
The extra heat of the bank holiday weekend doesn’t seem to have had any bad effects but temps are still set to rise for the next few days so think I will freeze a couple bottles of water to put in front of the fan/intake vents. Temps went over 28 degrees c in flower cabinet this afternoon.
Watered both with 2 litres 1/2 nutes and cal mag.
Day 51. Like a plonker I forgot to put the water in the freezer yesterday so have just done it, should be ready for tomorrow. Temps up to 29.1 in cabinet today.
Day 52. 2 x 2 litre bottles of frozen water brought the temps down by about 2 degrees C in flower cabinet for about 4 hours, it then quickly rose to previous temps but when I finished work and put new frozen bottles in it soon lowered again. The way I see it is 5 hours at 29 degrees is a lot better than 13 hours.
Watered as usual today.
Day 53. Nothing done today (apart from admiring their beauty)
Day 54. I’m really curious why the two plants have grown differently? Where eddy 2 is tall and slim eddy 1 is short and fat! I thought eddy 1 was behind eddy 2 by some way but although she hasn’t stretched like her sister her buds already feel a lot denser.
Watered as usual.
I’ve also just put my next grow in the soil to germinate. It’s an auto CBD 20.1 so will have a new diary for her soon 🌱
Day 55. Nothing done.
Day 56. Noticed a fair bit of discolouration on eddy 2’s leaves today. I’ve asked a grow question so hopefully someone will be able to enlighten me to where I’ve gone wrong.
Everything else seems ok, her buds are slowly fattening up.
From comparing to other diaries I think I’ve got about 10 days before I start to flush.
Watered 1/2 nutes as usual.
Should I up the nutes? I’ve been feeding 1/4 amount for the last 3 feeds. I’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 it’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,............

Hi all, noticed some brown spots on leaves, from google images I’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 it’s the plant the cfl light was on it’s probably just a little light bleach. You usually want them like 4-6” 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, she’s fed every 2 days with tri part nutes. At 1/2 the recommended dosage. Guessing she’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 wouldn’t expect anything like double or triple size at this point
Your girls are looking good :) I have a couple seeds of this strain as well. Planning to do a grow this summer myself.
Goodluck on the grow, hope you'll get a good yield.
Hey man. Nice plants 😄
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 🙏🏻
