Second time. It's actually some kind of a micro grow /cabinet size/ with Spider Farmer Sf1000 installed on top. This is my first grow with mass produced LED lights, so far I've used my custom builds, which tend to be more powerful with narrow angle and...you know.
I forgot how fast they grow by the way. We will see what's coming down the road this time...
I was on a vacation hiking for 4 days and when I see her...I did not believe my eyes. The plants is actually 3 weeks old, but I can't manage to complete the diary. One more week is due to upload.
p.s. Started with LST on Day 13.
I'm continuing with LST :) It's seems to respond well. No signs of deceases or whatever. Also I'm very careful with watering - 0.5l over one week. Starting to smell very lite and very, very delicious :)
Week 4 in progress, but I'm having a strange feeling about my lemon. It's seems /to me/ a little stall in it's progress. Number of buds seems also sparse. What do you think? I'm I too suspicious?
Week 5 just started, but I'm worried. First set of /lower/ leaves are getting sick I presume, and surely gonna fall off. Definitely not looking ok to me, maybe they just age out?!? If anyone have a idea what's causing thins - please leave a comment. Thanks in advance!
p.s So I decided to add some nutrients, because she need it. After one day /added at day 33/ everything seems normal, except it start to smell very sweet. Before that smell was little harsh, at least I think. We shall see. I will follow nutrient schedule by Bio Bizz. If you have something to add - please add it :)

Hi John,
This is an easy one :) Nitrogen :) A quick way to know a nitrogen defieancy is the lower leaves starting to fade to yellow if left it will work its way up the plant and get worse. Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient within the plant its needed all the way through the grow no matter which stage your in. Yes she does not need alot in the flowering stage but she still needs a good amount also the browning could be a cal mag issue that shes not getting enough of that either which is very common for autos. let me explain what i have found with auto genetics. at the start they are very tricky tto feed they dont like alot then when you reach the first few weeks of flower they explode and require alot more nutrients this is where i think you are my friend. Just up her feed abit and this should clear up in a few days to a week. I would say on a 2nd guess it could be a ph imbalance but i doubt it as its only the lower leaves that are effected at the moment if it was the ph they all would be :) best of luck anyway brother
Week6 in progress, but I'm worried. Things are getting weird. I don't know what to do, as many leaves turns rapidly to yellow :( At the end of Week5 I've decided to add fertilizers, which turns out to be bad idea, I think. I'm following chart by BioBizz, but that seems worse to me. It's being 3 watering with nutrients and in course of 2 days /which I was away/ things get funky :) I will post another question...
p.s only top /main/ bud are getting fatter, other one stand still. That's another weird ting, but maybe it's the strain itself
p.s. at first - definitely not enough N. I've decided to feed her by the schedule /biobizz/, but I did not know that's only one time per week /silly me, I was thinking - during week N feed her with.../, so I've manage to burn her. As @Chow_13 suggested - water only for couple of days. On first watering she gets massive improvement. Leaves starts to point upward, which is by far the most recognizable indicator of happiness :) Non the less...I will feed it again in Saturday. This time, as @TheUk420Show suggests - little more BioBizz Grow, as their schedule is based solely on on All Mix, which I did not use as soil. We shall see :)
p.s. main bud is getting fatter than my expectations. I'm egger to see her at the end ;)
Can someone looks and suggest what to do? Many leaves are turning yellow, even youngest one. What the hell is going on? Maybe it's night temperature, which drops to 17.5 or it's PH of water? It must be something I did not as expected. Any ideas or it's too late to save her?
Its nutrient burn. You have a salt buildup in your medium which is causing a nutrient lockout. Water with just water for the next couple times and you should see some improvement. When feeding you should only feed once a week and then just water the rest of the time. You never want to feed every watering.
Happy Growing
for sure the night temp is really low and affect directly to P absortion it even make the water retain less solved oxygen, the optimum range is at 23ºC try to get at least 20-21ºC.
Week7. Based on grow question asked, I've deiced to go with just water for one week. Result - nothing ground breaking, I'm still getting yellow and drolly leaves. Today /day45/ I've added 2ml/l of Bio-Grow and water her with 0.5l. Until next Sunday I will water it only. No nutrients. Defoliated almost all yellow and dead leaves. It was too bushy anyway :) As usual I will continue taking photos of her and monitor her closely. If you have something to comment - don't be shy 👻
Week 8. Time literally flies :( Nothing fancy to comment, except I did not feed her at all. Switch back to old watering method from dry to wet and back, which is around 1l of water per week. Leaves are like in autumn picture, it's seems nothing helps to regain health back. Although buds looks healthy to me. We shall see, as end is near 😂
Nothing fancy at all. It's seems the plant it's getting revived or at least I think so. This week I feed her again, this time with 1/4 of suggested dosage. It's seems green color is getting back, after I poisoned her :)
Week 10 :( The end is near. My levenhuk shows that too. I saw more amber trichomes than expected, but there are also a lot of translucent ones and small percent of cloudy ones. Actually 5 days remains until 70. No huge smell in room, but on touch is very sticky and smell very delicious. I don't know what's got wrong during this journey, but it must be some suboptimal grow conditions, such as low temp, low humidity and lamp to close to target. What's left is to be harvested and let it dry in peace.
p.s. also there will be no need to trim her, as there is small number of sugar leaves.
Hey there, Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌 Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help. Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
@Fast_Buds, Thanks for offered assistance! Can you look at the photos and the comment for the week? Is everything looks all right or I have to do something extra? Maybe LST is not done right? To much pressure applied on branches, etc...Thanks in advance!
Creo que tu planta está genial, creo que en un par de semanas te sorprenderá. Quizás no es la plnta más grande por ahora, pero no se la ve para nada mal 😎
@Taito, Yep, it's getting taller and bushier. I will do even more LST next week, because lack of space. It's a MUST to stay low. I promise not to break the top, as I did with purple queen last time 😍
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress!
If you ever visit my page please say hello!
Peace & love L.S.T
@TheUk420Show, You observations seems meaningful. I'm starting to think the same about auto's. I have tried different strains and setups, but unfortunately every last of them develop this kind of sickness/deficiency. First I've used DIY LED light, which I believe was too strong and purple /COBs/. Soil was generic for any kind of plant, pot was plastic. Royal Cookies literally thrives, as turned my drawer into jungle. Royal Dwarf has no complains at all in even smaller grow box. On the other hand - Purple queen /check diary if you want/ seems not good as expected. Second seed was with the same results. One Easy bud was destroyed by the same thing. Then I have decided to change soil, pot and light. Everything looks ok until now. I will feed het today with some bloom mix nutrition's. Thanks for the fast response.
p.s to the other fellow which replayed to /cant find his username/. If you reading this - your observations was also right. I cant's say it's physical damage, as I was very careful when applying LST. It must be some sort of deficiency, but as I said earlier - I lack the knowledge. Thanks to you too.
