Very pleased with how these 3 are progressing. For the past 10 days, our area has received multiple torrential storms per day with a total of 10.5 inches of rain. This necessitated us bringing in the plants to protect against the very heavy rain, strong winds, etc. The potted plants were placed in a garage with a fan most nights and as necessary for the storms throughout the day. They don't seem to be showing any severe signs of stress from this relatively frequent change in environment. The soil may look a bit dry in the pictures, though that is only the very top layer and we are ensuring the appropriate amount of moisture is present. Plant #3 has developed some very small brown spots which by my own research, would appear most closely to a calcium deficiency, though I'm not certain if I believe it is truly an issue at this point and attribute them to more of the frequent change in environment from the storms. We are using Fox Farm Happy Frog Soil and our strategy was to use the nutrients therein alone until it's necessary to add more. We would certainly welcome input on adding nutrients at this point. Thank You!

Hello, Everyone! We just completed Week 3 of our outdoor grow in Fox Farm Happy Frog soil and would appreciate insight into recommended nutrient treatments moving forward, as well as additional input on the small brown areas noted in our Week 3 Comments for Plant #3. Thank You!

Hi there, still not to worry much. Your plant seems to be healthy and will grow vigorously in the next few weeks. With your plant age, it's ok to start using Cal-mag or grow nutrient with 1/4th of the normal dosage and increase gradually. Make sure to check pH in/out and ppm in/out for each watering and in soil the less the better to prevent toxicity or lockout.Happy growing... 👌

Hello, we are attempting to determine the gender of our plants at a very early stage. If anyone with expertise would like to comment on the possible gender based upon the shapes shown in the microscopic pictures, we would appreciate the input. Thank You

I'm going with female. But keep an eye out for pistols to be sure. Usually more stem on the males. But my dry buds have same thing when pulling them apart

Just keep looking for pistol hair. It is still the easiest way to check your plants gender 🙂

Hello, All, First grow so we're looking for clarification if this plant is flowering, or if these are pollen sacs. Thank You

Yes those are certainly male pollen sacs. If you have females nearby you need to exterminate them ASAP or risk pollination when they begin to naturally open and release the pollen into the air which will pollinate female plants in the general vicinity. Won’t be the end of the world but it will give you seeds in your female buds and shift resources to create seeds rather than bud.

Noticing these brown spots on the leaves are getting worse. We started Fox Farm Tiger Bloom about two weeks ago and my thought would have been that would have helped. Would appreciate any insight into possible cause and level of concern. It’s flowering really well. Thanks!

Hi Mate, IMO there's no particular issues and considering the flowering stage you are in the safe side. Bottom canopy and related leaves Show signs of senescence, some bites, some drop burns and little scratches. In the upper canopy leaves are curled down and are darkngreen tone that suggest a (mild) nutes overdose. This is the reason so the oldest leaves are not very yellowed. Keep it up U are near the finish.
