Kicking along , did the first water change , noticed a bit of nute burn to some leaves may have over done ,first grow in dwc , trimmed some leaves back , ph dropped from 6.6 to 5.5 for a day stabilised to 5.8
after doing some research I may have over done the nutes which led to some whitish leaf defoliation and burnt tips I trimmed them off , holding off another week and see how she goes then changing to flowering nutes , dosent seem very tall ? Is auto any tips please
Hello @Kosta_boy16
After scrolling through your diary, you indeed gave them too much nutes which has caused most likely lockouts and stunting.
BUT what a real come back youve made from week 5, sad looking droopy plant. You brought it back.
Now youve got multiple possible colas and pretty even canopy. And overally OK healthy looking plant. Be proud of what you got, youve lost like 2-3 weeks from whole life cycle.
And you don’t have to wait for a week before upping your nutes. By looking your plant it is pretty easy to say that you could up your N to 100-150ppm, K to 200-300ppm (your new shoots and stems looking flimsy) Ca & Mg double the amount how much you giving them right now. You don’t really need up your P (phosphorus) values untill flowers has actually formed.
And ofc you need your environment aka VPD to be on point for best transpiration.
Keep your pH between 5.9-6.3 (pre/flower phases prefer more 6 than 5.8pH)
Hello Kosta_ boy16 you 're right to stop nutes for the moment. Yes some strains doesn't need much nutrient and yours is in this category. So give her half dose of nutrients. Then when it will grows more you can increase the dose gradually. Keep doing your great job. Good luck. Bye

Couple days later now have done a part water change and topped up with plain water to dilute nute solution until I do a full change for the flowering period , she seems a lot happier leaves are standing taller 🤗 mid week 5 from seed btw still working this site out can re seem to re edit the same week
She’s gone from strength to strength the past 10 days since last update, switch to flower nutes and turned on carbon filter fan to help humidity issue grown around 8 inches , have slight light burn I think , also topped up res with plain water , overal looking healthy my cheap ph pen has gone whack so need to replace or get some calibration solution in the next couple days , any observations appreciated new grower here
You are starting flowering and going into a massive growth spurt. The brown straight tips is potassium deficiency. Now if the curl up and in it is nutrition burn. Easy on your nitrogen level as it will become less important then potassium, and phosphorus the rest the way through grow. Lighter colored new growth is chlorophyll starting to react to light and work. Leaves don't start green. When exposed to light they turn green. Plus the shade of green will tell how much nitrogen is in the plant as well. Good luck and happy growing 🌱
Light burn leaf curl up like a taco shell... Tips browning might want to watch amount of nutrients.. Check ur ph level of your water runoff after u water ..hope it helped GrowMie
2nd day week 8
Start of summer here and struggling with grow room temp :(
Added another fan to hopefully help
Purchased a new ph pen
Topped up water and added 30 ml bloom , she seems happy and healthy , fully into flower now and stretched quite a lot , may have to rig something up to to raise the light . Being only 150w it dosent seem to be a problem atm
Coming along this week starting to form some bud sites , behind schedule , filling out tent . Next time probably opt to try lollipop and scrog as had to raise light from main cola other sites not getting the light . just wanted to get my bearings first grow and hopefully get a half decent yield 🤞
Ppm spike this week read around 2700
Topped up with fresh water
Still learning will do things a little different next time
Her height seems to have maxed out
Room temp still an issue high 33 deg cel day temps lately .
Put on a bit of size this week
Water res dropping at least 8 litres every 4-5 days spiking ppm , warm temps 30 -35 degree during day , seems to be coping propped lid up and angled plant to give other bud sites some light , will def do lst scrog next time around
Hi guys
After a bit of info in regards to plant life cycle I’m at start of week 11 from seed anyone have a rough estimate of where these plants are at ? , temps have been quite high and buds are still somewhat airy , will scrog next time around but any other advice appreciated ��
One observation. Too much nitrogen mate. I would cut out nitrogen from your feed entirely now at this point (if you haven't already). Once the plant is flowering, it's need for nitrogen is minimal and the need for phosphorus and potassium is far greater. This will obviously help in bud size and density. But you're at least 3 weeks away from harvest there 🌱👍
Day 78 from seed
This week was a big learning curve as may have dodged a bullet and improved yield .
Finally changed res after 3-4 weeks thinking I could get through to harvest
I was wrong ppm was spiking to 2200 after multiple water top ups
Figured plant wasn’t up taking nutes and had some sort of lockout , ph dropping aswell 5.5 ish
Res was salty all over , was way over due , note to self add nutes gradually to reach desired ppm, I gave her what little nutes I had left ( could have more )
Settled around 1000 , seemed to uptake them in two days to settle around 750 , ph at recommended 6.3 , buds changed within a day ! Had to tie her up as she was leaning badly after res change, may invest in a pump to make things easier.
Look to be ripening , putting on weight ; pistils browning :)
She’s a bit of a mess after changing res for a flush , will need to sort out something easier next time .
Also wish I had scrog to make better use of this little light ,
Day 83 started a flush , will part harvest in a few days as I’m going away, buds could be better they are somewhat sticky pistils look ready , Ordered a loupe a little late . has been a good learning experience,
Notes - don’t over do nutes early
- change res more frequently
- try lollipop and use a scrog
- invest in a higher watt light for yield and tighter bud ,
- don’t grow near summer heat major issue , autumn and spring more ideal
Day 92
Trichomes still don’t seem ready :(
Flushed for 9 days thinking she would be done , sort of slowed up and bit airy with some white pistils , is in need of nutes now .. showed signs of deficiencies
I resorted to giving her a pk boost for a week to help bulk and frost up . will asses again in another week and commence another flush . Not too far away now
14 weeks old , First day of week 15 😬
New white pistils .. and leaves yellowing
Trichomes getting milky no amber as yet started a flush for a few days will assess again , somewhat fuller bud
But def need a higher watt light and scrog to get the most out of the plant I think , main cola seems most tight as it’s been closer to light
Good learning experience not bad for first grow
Buds are sticky :)
