First timer here. Motivated to start this diary so I can look back with pride or horror or a bit of both.
Growing in a 24x24x55" / 60x60x140cm under a Mars Hydro Reflector 480W, (200W actual draw).
A bit of discoloration on the MA. Thought perhaps a result of misting during lights-on, but curious it only seemed to effect the one plant. I should add it came about prior to feeding with nutrients. Development steady otherwise with watering every other day.
Edit: Discoloration seems to be clearing up a bit. We're (almost!) flying.😄
Still going at a fine old rate. Love that it never looks the same twice. Can see a number of budsites forming and height still seems pretty uniform despite no training. hopefully it keeps this shape, although I have prepared a scrog if needs must.
Whew, it has really took off in the last week. I can't let it grow any higher than 60cm, but looking at the rate of growth on other diaries on here, it looks like it should stay within this limit. At least I hope so! Scrog feels like it's there for decorative purposes for the lack of efforts to do anything with it, but has served well in spreading out the lower leaves a little and getting some light to them.
Otherwise, still feeding every other day according to the Biobizz schedule and not really doing anything else. I'm just a passenger on this Mexican Airline, and it's flying in autopilot. 😊
Coming along well still. no idea of what sort of yield I should expect come harvest, but at this rate I'm sure I'll be happy.
Edit: Day 38, fan leaves appear to be yellowing and withering from the bottom up. Originally noticed it just on the lowest of them, but seems to be getting more prominent. Uppermost leaves remain healthy looking and developing well.
Generally not one to encounter an issue in life and immediately ask for a personalised answer, but having trawled through the various websites and found explanations for this sort of thing from 'nothing to worry about' to mites and everything in between, I've gotta ask!
Hi there! We're missing some crucial informations here : do you check your Ec/Ppm and pH levels every time you feed them? If so, what was your last measurements? What feeding schedule are you following? Do you let the soil dry between waterings/feedings? I'm also using Biobizz and I always seriously decrease nitrogen doses (BioGrow) when blooming has begun, like 1ml/L only a couple of days during the stretch, then I completely stop using BioGrow. Also, Alg-a-mic should preferably be used as a foliar spray (at night), especially when you're having nutrients issue. As an emergency move, I would flush the roots for a couple of days, remove dead leaves and try to lower down the day temperature by 2 or 3 degrees. I'll be around, keeps us up-to-date, good luck with these beauties!
Removed a load of dead/majority yellow leaves from the bottom the other day if you're wondering why it looks a little more thin on the ground. Also got 'daytime' temperature down by leaving the tent door open 24/7.
Feeling at a bit of a crossroads with this. Highlighted some issues last week about overdoing it with the nutrients, and since then it has had two plain water feedings (disregard nutrient information above). Being just a couple of weeks away from harvest now, not even sure how worthwhile dosing it would be again before needing to flush once more. I of course want it to reach its potential, but whether nutrient supplementation will bolster or hamper that I really don't know.
Still pleased with the development anyway thus far anyway 😃
Number of orange pistils increasing and trichomes... I'm not so sure. Only recently acquired a loupe so have not had the benefit of comparison earlier in their formation. Sometimes I think cloudy, other times clear.
Size maintained for several days now, last watering was on day 61 and will harvest on day 64 (otherwise known as today!) Will update later on. Can't wait! 😀
It was a learning experience, the biggest revelation when I harvested at the end and discovered pretty poor root development. I suspect my little and often approach to watering contributed to this. At any rate, I feel more equipped for any future attempts.
Slowking
