Planted on the 29th directly in the Root Riot plugs, inside of a Sunblaster Led Nano dome. Light on for 24hrs. 3ml of Clonex and 1/8 tsp of Great White Mycorrhizae mixed into a 500 ml water bottle. Water not ph'ed of ppm'ed. Stabed holes into the top and showered all the plugs until bottle was empty. Lid and light on with vent holes all the way open. No humidity or temp sensor. House is kept at 70-72, humidity in dome looks fine with mist on the sides.

Well they're staring strong. Day 7 Thursday (one week after planting) I watered again with 1 .5L water bottle with 3ml of clonex solution in it. Saturday I took the dome lid off due to having to raise the light. Keeping canopy 6" under the 18" sunblaster led light. Hopefully humidity drop doesn't effect them. I'm still not checking ph, ppm, temperature, or humidity. My house stays at 72-70 and around 50% humidity( should be more at the dome).

Plants are doing great, besides a little nutrient burn. Watered with 1 500 ml bottle on the first day of the second week with 3ml of clonex solution and ¼ tsp of great white mycorrhizae. 3 days later watered again because I had the ceiling fan on which caused them to dry out faster.

Well watered my plants with great value drinking water. Ph 4.11. Didn't check ph until week 3. Currently upping it to 6.5 after I found the issue. Does this look like nutrient lock out? They were in root Riot starter plugs. And I fed the some clonex and great white microbs.

Yes this would certainly be because of the low pH.. that’s gonna cause all types of issues. Good news is you’ve identified it, and you corrected so you should see improvement within a few days.. or at least it you’ll see it won’t continue progressing pretty quickly. Keep that pH on point and you should be fine

They're not looking good this week. All the first serated leaves are yellowing bad. Day 21 i Transplanted into solo cups with fox farms happy frog soil. PhD the water the other day from the water bottles and it came out to 4.11. So I feel like they have been suffering from nutrient lock out, and it was never nutrient burn. So I'm phing the water now to 6.5 and watering it with plain water to see if I see improvement. Also on day 22 I moved them into the grow tent under the bigger light set at 20% at a 18/6 light cycle. Transplanted a week before I wanted to due to nutrient lock out I wanted to try to give them a chance at some nutrients. So on day 24 I added a humidifier because it was around 43%. Day 26 I gave it some more mycoerhizea and some molasses with some water.

This was a good week we say alot of growth and they seem like they've all recovered from the bad ph. Day 29 I topped Plant B and day 31 I topped the rest of them. Gave them 4 cups of water with 1 ml of calmag in it. Ph was at 6.4. Trying to plant some of the tops because why not. If they grow they grow. Day 33 I Transplanted into 1 gallon pots because the roots were filling and coming out of the bottom of the solo cup. Still in fox farms happy frog soil. Sprinkled some "great white" mycorrhizea in the soil. Transplanted went good.

Leaves are curling down at the tips and slowly dieing. Started with slight yellowing. Gave them some city tap water probably has chlorine in it or something. Started at the older growth first. Slowly starting on another plant too. The stem has been purple for a while.

Hi growmie ur tap water may not have helped u but u can work with that they are still living and got imo a little bit of cal/mag very small amount for the size pots u have and instead of ¾ 75 % feed /nutes take it back down to ¼ of the recommended amounts and then start to increase slightly as you see them coming on good luck my friend and I'll keep an eye on ur grow 🌱

First day of the week I turned the "Growers Choice" ROI-720 light up to 25%, had some issues with heat and humidity getting to high but I think I've managed to bring it back down. I havnt changed the temp or humidity in the diary because it varies so much but that's what I try to keep it at. On day 36 I watered with about 600-700ml per plant unitl I had runoff out of the bottom of the 1 gal fabric pots. Water was rain water I collected and filtered through a coffee filter. It ph'd at 6.0 so I figured that was fine. Plant A and C are noticeably darker still than B and D. Just giving them plain water with no nutes or additives to fix the clawing on the tips of the leaves. They havnt been getting worst. Day 41 all the plants look good and I topped Plant B again to try to shorten it up to get closer to the same higth as the rest.

Day 42 first day of the week I turned the Growers Choice ROI-720 up to 30% its using 216w at 240v. Day 44 pictures were after some simple hand bending lst. This week we've seen alot of growth in all the plants. They need water about ever 4 days and between all 4 they take a gallon and a half untill the get a little run off out of the bottom. Roots are starting to come out of the bottom of the pots. Day 44 I noticed some spots on plant bs leaf I think it was from a nat or something I saw in the tent. And same day plant d has very slight yellowing on the tips of the newest growth. Think it's a deficiency of some sort, I'll look into it. Day 45 Transplanted into 5 gallon fabric pots with fox farms ocean forest soil. Didn't water today because the root balls where still pretty moist. Raised light to maintain 24" about the canopy. Day 46 Watered all 4 plants took about 4.25g of water. PH 6.3 @ 73° F. Day 47 Think I shouldn't have watered yesterday plants A, B, and D are drooping. Plant B has some light brown/yellow spots on the middle growth and very slight yellowing on the tips of the newer growth. Plant D has different spots dark red/brown almost burnt orange on middle growth and yellowing on the tips of the leaves. Weird how plant C just doesn't care what I do to it it just keeps getting bushier and wider leaves, never yellowing or drooping. Day 48 None of the plants were dropping the evening, and the spots and yellowing havnt gotten any worse. They grew alot since I measured yesterday.

I think your plants maybe a little hungry and in need of a new home. I would pot them up into some 5 gallon fabric pots. I can’t see in the picture but it looks as if they’re sitting flat in that clear plastic tray. Try getting yourself some pot risers to get the pot off of the ground and get some air flow under there. Other than that your grow is looking good bro.

Noticed these spots on the leaves on plant B is this a copper deficiency or something else. I noticed a nat or something in the tent earlier. Looked all over and under all the plants can't find any bugs. And the leaves are curling down on the edges.

Olá amigo. Não me aparece que tens qualquer tipo de problemas com insetos. Parece-me sim um cobre de deficiência, talvez, tenta regular os teus nutrientes na próxima rega. Confirma o ph e o EC. Se você vir que está a continuar ou a ficar pior, faça um flush. Tudo de bom para ti

Those spots are from the plant burning from the nutes, If youre using a super soil also that will DEFINITELY cause the burn Don't ignore it. Flush your medium with Ph water if you're growing with coco this is a easier fix as coco drains better if not cut out the nutes for a week or so and cut the affected leaves as they won't get better. If you check your PPD and water to run off test the runoff water or skip that step and flush with Ph water

Personally I wouldn't worry too much - your girls appear to be growing well. I've had exactly the same yellowing on mine before and I put it down to light burn while I was running 24/0 schedule. Good luck!

Day 49 I super cropped all the plants for the first time on the first day of the week. They had all recovered by the next morning. I've been doing some hand bending down too to keep them short as possible. No wires at all. Still havnt watered since day 46. Day 51. I watered and feed this morning with the nutrients listed in the diary. They took 4 gal of water untill they had runoff. Ph was 6.1 @ 71°F. Also defoliated plants B and D a tiny bit for the first time. I came back to the tent around 4pm and noticed plant B was 22 inches from the light again. (I raise the light about every 3 days to maintain 24" above canopy) So instead of raising the light again I supercroped plant B to match the hight of the other 3 plants. Later in the evening I checked on them and plant B had bent back up towards the light, mostly even with the rest of the plants now. Day 52. Plants looks good. Plant B recovered well again from the HST but plant C (the strongest plant so far) is starting to curl up on the edges of the leaves. I'm pretty sure it's over watering. I'll keep an eye on it. Day 53 Plants look really good so I tired the light up 5 more percent to 35% still lat 24", above canopy. Tonight I put the trellis net down on them and spreaded them out more. Day 55 Plants were starting to droop so I watered Plants A and C with just water and molasses pHed to 6.0 @ 71°F, and watered Plants B and D with half strength general hydroponics (late veg). Let the runoff sit in the pans for 3 hrs or so then I vacuumed the runoff out. While I was watering I defoliated plants A and C at the base ( leaves wernt getting any light).

Day 56. Plants look good today almost ready to flip into flower, but I have a vacation this weekend so they will have to wait. Day 59 Back from vacation and the plants look great! Today is their first day at 12/12 light schedule. Tured the Growers Choice ROI-720 led up to 50% and I raised it to maintain 24" from canopy. I did some light defoliation around the base of the plants. I watered Plants B and D today. Day 60 Couldn't get humidity to drop below 75% so I got a dehumidifier and dropped it to 65%. Day 61 Plants look good. I'll try to water plants A and C tomorrow morning Day 62 Watered Plants A and C this morning. Did some more defoliation and bent some more tops down under the net. Plants look good besides plant D had 1 leaf that was completely wilted and dead. The rest of the plant appears fine.

Started the 12/12 light cycle 5 days ago. Plants seem to be happy. Plants B and D like to dry our faster. I thinks it's because they're bigger. Day 63 First day of Week 9 (4th day into flower) I watered Plants B and D with 3 gallons of water with 3m/g of calmag. PH 6.5 @ 75°F, and did some more defoliation. I added cal mag because Plant D still has slight yellowing at the tips of the leaves and nothing else I've done has seem to fix it. Day 64 Plants look good, Plants B and D have small white hairs coming out of the tops. Day 65 Did some more defoliation today trying to make the plants concentrate on the bud sights. Day 66 1 week into flower. Turned the Growers Choice ROI-720 up to 60%. White hairs are starting to appear on plants B and D. Nothing from plants A and C yet. Day 67 Watered with 5½ gallons of water with 1 tsp/g of black strap molasses. I also did alot more defoliation on plants B and D. Lots of white hairs coming out of bud sites today.

Day 70 First day of Week 10, 12 days of flower - Plants look like they are loving life in the tent. White hairs coming up everywhere. Smell is starting to increase. Soil is still moist so no water today. Day 71, day 13 of flower- Buds are forming nicely, soil is pretty dry so I'll water tonight or tomorrow morning. The closest top to the light is about 18" the others are about. 24"from the light. Currently at using the Growers Choice ROI-720 at 60% using 432w from the wall. Watered with 3 liters of plain water per plant. Day 72, 14 days of flower - just measured them today. Day 73, 15 days of flower- I turned the light up to 70%. Soil is pretty dry today. Day 74, 16 days of flower- watered with 3 liters per plant with 2.3ml/g of micro, 2.3ml/g of grow, and 3.3ml/g of bloom with 1 tsp/g of molasses. PH 6.4 @ 71°F. Plant B has some lower leaves turning yellow. Day 75, day 17 of flower- trimmed alotnof yellow leaves off of plants B and D, plant A is starting to yellow at the tips of the new growth. White hairs are growing fast. Day 76, day 18 of flower- you can start to see the tricomes on the sugar leaves now buds are starting to form. Starting to claw at the ends again. Mabey from too much water. Not sure why they are yellowing, not sure if it's over water or under water or over feed or under fed.

Watered with 3 liters per plant with the nutrients up above. Raised the light up to 30"from the canopy. Day 82 day 24 of flower - Spots were traveling fast so I cut off all of the leaves with spots. Watered Plants A and C with 3 liters per plant of plain distilled water. Flushed plants B and D with 10.25 gallons of distilled water. Ppm was 1500+ when I started got B down to about 700 or less and D should be around 1000 or less. I ran out of water or I would have done more. Day 83 day 25 of flower- This morning looks like nuts burn of Plant B and it looks like it's over watered on a few leaves.

Day 88, 30 days of flower- Plants B and D were bone dry and starting to droop from lack of water. Watered with 3 liters per plant and the nutrients above. Plants A and C look good besides slight yellowing on the tips of the leaves on the tops. Day 89, 31 days of flower- Noticed plant B is still drooping after the feed last night. Had 1 more dead leaf and more purpling on the bud sites. Plant C is starting to fade or change colors too. Hairs on B are starting to turn orange. Day 90, 32 days of flower- Watered Plants B and D with 3 liters per plant of distilled water. PH 6.5 @ 72°F. Plant C had alotnof color change today. Spots increasing on plant D still.

Day 92, 34 days of flower- Watered with 3 liters per plant with distilled water, with ½ tsp/gal of "Real Growers" Recharge. Lots of dead and dying leaves on Plant B looks like it's defoliating itself, Plant D has a few dying leaves from the spots mentioned in the previous few weeks but almost look natural but not sure, Plant C is still fading on the lower leaves and crisping where the brown spots are, Plant A looks basically perfect in my eyes besides the slight yellowing on the tips of the leaves at the bud sites. This strain only has a 45 day flowering time. Not sure if they will be ready then or need more time. Hard to tell for my first grow. Day 93, 35 days of flower- looks like plants B and D will be finishing before plants A and C. Might have to dry those 2 somewhere else while the other 2 finish. Day 95, 37 days of flower- watered with 3 liter per plant of distilled water.

Day 98, 40 days of flower, Plants are progressing well from all the abuse I've put them threw. Not sure when to chop plant B. Keeping an eye on the tricomes. Day 99, 41 days of flower, Watered with 3 liters per plant of plain distilled water. Day 100, picked some dead leaves off like I do everyday now, just keeping an eye on plant B's trichomes since it's hairs are showing the most age. Plant A's hairs are all orange now, while plant C and D are still white. Looks like we will have a staggered harvest. Not sure when to harvest though. Day 101, 43 days of flower(start of week 7 of flower) - Picked more dead leaves off, Plant A- has the biggest bugs, all orange hairs, but the smallest stalk. Plant B- has a few new white hairs but is still aging. Plant C- has small frost buds, and alot of white hairs. Plant D- has medium sized buds with plents of frost, has lots of white hairs. Day 102, 44 days of flower- Watered with 3 liters of plain distilled water. Picked more dead leaves off of course to maintain a clean canopy and reduce options for bugs. Day 104, day 46 of flower- Plant B has some amber trichomes, so I might chop it today or tomorrow. Took alot of photos of plant B since it's my first harvest.

Day 105 since planting, 47 days of flower - Right before the light cut on this morning I choped plant B down and hung to dry. Don't mind the 2 tiny clones that are flowering. They where free and I don't have a dedicated veg tent so they're getting flowered out. Day 109, 51 days of flower. Watered each plant with 3 liters of plain distilled water. Day 111, 53 days of flower. Chopped plants A and C right before the light cut on. Plant D remains 38¼" tall( from floor not from dirt) and about 26" wide. Checked the trichomes today and looks like I need to chop tomorrow morning. Taste tested plant B, flavor was off ( didn't taste like weed), not too potent, burned weirdly (almost as if it were too dry or just not dry enough not sure.

This grow was stressful and very informative. I learned alot about what the plants want/need. Love having grow diaries to keep track of everything in such detail. I will definitely grow more Humboldt Apple Blossom in the future so I can see what the strain can really do.
