7/11 - Seeds took about 48 hours to germinate. The first seed has about a quarter-inch taproot and has been moved into its final container, however, the second is a little behind and will remain in the paper towel until tomorrow morning.
Everything seems to be progressing nicely. I decided to add a humidifier inside the tent and an evaporative cooler outside to keep the humidity at around 60%. My humidity controller only drives the humidifier and it's set to 62%.
The lights were at 50% and I've been water every two to three days.
Day 15: Coming into the week everything looks good and growth seems to be vigorous. I brought the lights up to 75%. I suppose if I noticing any praying or other unsavory changes I'll roll back to 50%.
Day 18: I started LST a couple of days ago and was worried that I may have jumped the gun. The plants don't seem to care all that much, though, and are still growing steadily. Having the lights at 75% seems to be working out as well.
Day 22: More LST was done on 21. In retrospect, I should have filled the pots with more soil since the lower leaves/branches aren't really clearing the edge of the pot. Hopefully, as the plants grow I'll be able to lift them up a little bit, but for now, everything still seems healthy and growing at a decent clip.
Day 25: It looks like one of the plants is already starting to go into flower. Continued LST adjustments and tucking of fan leaves to expose the secondary growth to more light. I've also been giving more water at a time, but still watering every two or three days.
It seems kind of early, but it looks like this plant is already showing signs of flowering. Can anyone confirm whether or not I'm reading this right?
Thanks!
Day 30: More LST. Both plants are showing signs of being in early flower. I added about a cup or so of BAS Build-a-Bloom, even though I'm already using the Autoflower Concentrate so that the plant is getting nutrients both from the bottom of the pot and coming down through the soil.
Day 32: Ongoing LST. The plants are drinking quite a bit more now.
Day 36: I'm pulling off any leaves that are dying from the lower parts of the plants. I think I'm mostly done with the LST for this run and thinking at this point I'm mostly going to allow the plants to finish growing straight up.
Day 39: Minor LST adjustments and defoliation, but otherwise letting nature do its thing.
Day 43: Light defoliation of yellowing leaves that aren't getting much light.
Day 46: More defoliation and I removed the tie downs from the LST since the plant seems to be pretty set in its form. For future runs, I think I might remove the tie-downs earlier, but I don't think any real harm has been done. I also decided to bring the lights up a few inches.
Day 53: Still watering and defoliating every couple of days. One of the plant's leaves have yellowed a lot, but I think this might just be related to flowering. I'm going to ask the community anyway since this is my first grow.
The leaves on one of my plants are really starting to yellow. To me, this looks similar to pictures of plants in late flower, rather than the examples of nutrient deficiencies. Have I read this correctly, or should I start worrying?
You have probably another 2-3 weeks left, try adding a feed to next watering - it may have little effect at this point but may pick her back up if she isnt as close to harvest as you would estimate.
Day 58: The plants seem to have either used up the bulk of their nutrients or are otherwise not getting enough. All I could do is add about an inch of the BAS Build-a-Flower to each pot, but otherwise, I'm going to have to wait until the end to come to a conclusion. The Autoflower Concentrate was supposed to make this a water-only process since the roots would hit the extra nutrients leading into flower. Considering this, one theory is that the roots just didn't get deep enough. Of course, I could have been watering too cautiously as well. If that's the case, I'm guessing that I might see that the bottom of the pot is drier than the rest.
