This is my first grow with a more "elevated" setup, no DIY lol:
- Sansi ceramic LED grow lights (1x 75W, 2x 45W)
- 60cm x 60cm x 140cm grow box (mars hydro knockoff)
- Two 120mm fans with ducts for extraction and intake ( these are computers fans. Old habits die hard, and still no filter because I can't afford that)
- TerComposti TecnoGrow substrate
She's growing fast.
She doesn't have the most symmetrical structure, but it's healthy growth. There's already a discernable smell, that must mean she's breathing well...
The second set of baby leaves are getting huge! Also, I noticed a leaf abnormality on the left.
water: 500ml
Very very common for an auto I have found. I dunno why but they tend to have dodgy growth the start of with i can only put it down to the manipulation by the breeder in the auto process. Though its a really healthy plant and will do just fine nice shade of green :) Best of luck for the rest of this run :) 👊
LST - Day 17 - 4 new potential growths on the lower node.
Day 19 - Growth is started to slow a bit. Let's hope she gets better soon.
Day 21 - She's starting to get healthier. I'm starting to notice signs of nutrient burn. Maybe I started feeding too early because the soil comes lightly fertilized...
water: 500ml
Is this nutrient burn? I started giving her nutes on week 2 at eighth strength (Bio Bizz grow .2ml/L), then slightly increasing to quarter on week 3. The soil I'm using comes lightly fertilized, so maybe it was too early at week 2 and 3?
Nope they are just burnt leaf tips it can indicate an overfeed but its more likeley an inbalance in your nutrients either to much or too little I put my money on too little look up the feed chart for the nutrients your using and check if they getting the right dose for the correct week. plant is really healthy and that wont effect growth at all youll be fine :) 👊
Day 22: Waiting for her to gain some height before the second round of LST.
Day 22: water 1L
Day 23: Very light defoliation (I'm a newb at this)
Day 24: LST on the right-most branch
Hey all,
I'm starting to see a real slow down in daily growth. She should be coming up to the stretch at this point right? I gave her a few rounds of LST and light defoliation for like two-three days straight.
Is she too stressed out? Any ideas?
Even though they are being stretched out they will still Be reaching up. it just doesn’t look that way visually because you low stress trained them. It just looks like they are reaching farther out then up. Leave the branches where you have them pulled And bend them as far down And straight as you can get them and leave them tied for a few days and you will see them bend Up right past where you tied the next morning Reaching for the light. You can go to my grandmommy purple diary and see what I’m saying. The only difference is I mainlined mine without topping but the concept is the same for last. They look good and great , good luck
Well, things have gone a little downhill.
I accidentally broke a stem and she's suffering. I have to wait for recovery, so all I can do is hope for a decent yield. 🤞
Day 31: More LST. Trying to organize the canopy a little more.
Day 32: Attempted to flush out nutrient burn
Yesterday I dropped my measuring tape on my plant.🤦🏻 nuff said....
Being this is an autoflower, I know this problematic.
Will this branch recover or should I just cut my losses and the branch? Also, will she recover for a decent yield?
hey there Gnugs, so when that happens and you catch it immediately, usually you're fine, and you did well to tape it up, but next time use something like duct tape to make sure no light gets in there, the healing process doesnt like light. That being said you did a good job, so hopefully it's fine, it couldnt have come at a worse time but hopefully it will be totally fine, just gonna cause some stress so you might add a week or so to your harvest date. hope this helps ! 🚀
What's wrong with this flower site? This is the main stem.
The leaves have been pretty small for the last few days and they don't seem to have a lot of vitality.
I have these smaller growths on the lower part of my plant. They haven't really stretched out at all. I read that these smaller growths can suck available energy for the other buds.
Can I cut these or just leave them and forget about them?
I do not defoliate or prune "suckers", especially on an auto before flowering. As long as a leaf is getting light let it grow. When a plant gets the size of yours I might prune some of the lowest to make watering easier and improve airflow on the bottom. But, do not go crazy. Leaves are the solar panels that power everything so keep as many as you can. Then when flowering starts I will tuck leaves under that are shading bud sites.
When it is well into flower I will prune leaves that shade buds but again, less pruning is better.
Keeping more leaves on the plant, especially near the bottom is a good nutrient reserve for the plant and a good indicator to you of nutrient problems. Sometimes with a deficiency the plant will rob nutrients from the bottom leaves giving you a early notification that you need to do something.
Those flowers are very nice And look where there suppose to be. In my opinion you look like you are in week three of true flower. It takes two weeks after you flip To twelve on photos or see the first set of pistols For autos. Use that as your week one start of flower. It takes a week sometimes two for flowering weeks to actually start. They look relaxed and getting ready to reach up for light and expand more pistols. I love Amenezia haze strains, but they are a very slow and long living Ladies, I would be patient and when you think she’s ready to cut. Give her three or four more weeks on top of that and it will reward you. Good luck
Hello Gnugs87 i think you are worry for nothing because it seems your plant is in flowering since just few weeks so don't panic. Plant are all different and some strains have strange flowering. You can think it is underdevelloped and then it explodes in a short lap. So keep cool your plant is nice and will increase soon. Good luck. Bye
Are you talking about week six from seed?
Cause yeah like DRGreenThumb said you look like you’re about week two of flower.
When a breeder says for example 8 weeks that’s an 8 week flowering period and does not include the the germination/seedling/veg stage. You have about 5-7 weeks left.
Enjoy your grow she’s a nice looking girl. 🤙
Just a random question. Why do I have so few/small leaves on this grow? I've encountered this on my last two grows. My plants are never very full.
Could it be because I had issues during the veg stage?
Hello it could be because you had issues during veg but in my opinion your plant is normal . nothing shock me on the photos. It is normal to have smaller leaves to the top and big leaves in the middle and bottom. It is better dor you because the light can penetrate so far in the canopy. To me you are doing a good job so continue like this. Good luck. Bye
I just watered her two days ago. The soil was completely dry and the pot was super light. Gave her 750ml of water with a bit of runoff. She started drooping immediately after.
temp: 25C RH: 55%
Two days and still mostly the same.
Why does she look so unhealthy??
@DasBoof . I found out that my soil pH was around 5. Just I corrected it and gave her an early feed of Bio bloom (3ml / L) and Top max (1ml/ L).
@KushGANG. I have both intake and 4" extraction fan with filter, two clip fans blowing around the plant. Temp: 24-25C, RH 40%-60%. Like I said to @DasBoof, it might have been a pH problem since it was really low (5).
Let me know what you guys think...
What the other 2 said could have been correct. But in your comment you have said your run off was ph 5 so that's your problem. Your medium is at the wrong ph. You need to get that within range and your plant will bounce back.
Hey there Gnugs, so the droopiness could have been caused by the watering, but most probably it's a root zone issue. that's because something developed down there . so what you want to do is to fix the problem roots. This you can do by breaking them down . The best thing to use for you do to that is Top Max. Top Max is just humic acid . Go full strength with top max for a week to ten days and it should fix your issue completely and quickly . Hope this helps ! 🚀
12/1 - pH is too high. I'm going to lower it on the next watering.
12/3 - pH is leveling out. I'm aiming around 6.5. I think she's starting to feel better. I'm just letting her grow now and making sure add more nutrients.
She looks about a week behind. Very low trichome development from all the mistakes I made. I hope that it will start to pick up toward the end of flower.
I'm kind of on a tight schedule.
Any predictions on how long she has left of flower? In a perfect world, two more weeks would be nice.... I had a lot of setbacks, I know she's trying to catch up though.
The smell is getting stronger every time I open the tent. Not anything crazy but I'm glad she's putting off some kind of odor after the life she's had.
Day 72: Feeding. 1ml water. ec 1
I messed up this grow. The buds are airy as shit and after drying they turned almost amber in color. They mostly dried in 5 days. Most of my trichomes were milky so I don't think it was a pre-mature harvest. It must have been from lack of light during veg and flower. On the next grow I'm using a TS-1000 so hopefully this wont happen again.
A bit of a waste of 13 months. I'll try to be more careful next time.
Any helpful comment would be appreciated.
