Hi everyone whom might be reading this, this is my first grow!! I'll be doing it with mother earth living soil and biobizz nutrients, i got the seeds from dispensary weed so I hope to get more females than males...
Well I guess that's it for now, let's wait and see how they grow!!
Does anyone here have any experience with mother earth fertilizer like liquicraft grow-bloom, florescence, etc...? I'm thinking of using them along with their soil but not sure...
Looks perfect for it...Great packaging too. Looking at what they put into their soil mix, the blend looks perfect. The brewers yeast is a surprise but perfect for breaking down that organic matter. Should be a great substrate for you plants. Good luck
Two weeks!! Ladies looking great, no nutes needed so far... I've been watering every other day with nothing but voodoo juice, I might be giving them a couple weeks more before flipping them into 12/12!!
Well the girls are in middle of 3rd week, mostly healthy leaves except for one showing a little light burning other than that they seem to be doing great, just one weird thing they get a little down every night nut also they are up every morning... is that something proper of this plants? Or should I be worried?
So I thought I had a little light burning in one of my girls first leaves this due to some foliar feeding a I did during their first week, but now it kinda looks like is spreading so I'm wondering if it might be some calmag deficiency?
Hi there you are over watering/watering to frequently which causes problems like nutrient deficiency. I wouldn't worry to much about the lowest leaves as they do fade quickly into a grow. Let top inch of your medium dry before water/feed. I would start adding nutrients as well. Good luck
Well this week was really stressful, one of the girls started showing stress in the lower leaves right after I attempted some fimming on her, the nutrients I was waiting for haven't arrived except for some calmag which I think they are lacking... Topped the rest of them just today, hopefully they'll respond better than their sister... thanks to anyone reading this, happy gorw!
Hi you all and TIA, yesterday I watered my girls but after a few hours one of them started to get her leaves down, so I checked pH on my reservoir and it was 7.9!! So my question is what to do now? Do I wait for a few days and then water again with right pH or should I do it now?
Well another week is going and I'm having a little trouble, some of the girls seemed to have a nutrient lock because of a wrong pH watering I did on them, after that (thanks to advice from you guys that answer my grow question, thanks a lot!!) I mixed another reservoir this time with right pH and water them with a few liters till the run out came out in a more decent number... now they seem to be doing better, I finally got the nutrients I was waiting on so hopefully they'll be even better next week... thanks to anyone reading this and happy grow to everybody!!
Hi everyone and TIA, I'm wondering if I should defoliate a little before putting them on 12/12 schedule? BTW I'm fixing a little deficiencies they had... what's the experts advice??
I'd fix your deficiencies before defoliating.
Chances are some of the leaves will die off on their own, this gives the plant time to suck some of the mobile nutrients out of them and place it where its needed in the plant canopy on new growth. Thus an auto defoliation sorta.
If you remove to many when its not ready it could shock it a bit.
are you crunched for time to switch to 12/12? I'd grow them out a few weeks more? not needed but could help increase bulk.
Defoliation should only be used in bigger fan leaves as well to increase airflow and light penetration.
Best of luck
Hi everyone I'm once again asking for your support *insert Bernie sanders meme* but I'm really worried, I was checking out the ladies after some watering and I think one of them might be a male? Any thoughts??
Now seeing you other Photos on the new grow question I think this is leaning more towards male.
Give it a few more days to confirm.
And watch out for plants that are presexing with Pistils and Balls from the bag seed.
Cheers,
Hi everyone, last week was hell... there were a lot of deficiencies going on the plants luckily the nutrients I was waiting for were finally delivered, and after feeding the girls with them just one time I can tell they work just as well as the groundswell soil I'm using from Mother Earth, now my concern for this week is if I should do the next watering with nutrients or pH'd water with calmag or just pH'd water? Also I noticed that I have 2 followers now!! I hope I get more than one female plant so it's not a disappointment... once again thanks for your support and knowledge!
Update week 6 2.0
Well everything went to shit... I think I overstressed most of the plants or maybe I'm suffering of an unbelievable bad luck because after finding one male and one female and following you guys advice I started to check the other plants only to find out that all of them have similar traits to the male one (the one from my grow question), so up to now I'm standing with just one female a bunch of potential males and two little plants that were to little (because I had them in smaller pots al this time) to actually show any preflowers... so now I changed them into bigger pots and hopefully they'll come out as females!! Wish me luck 🙏
Well during the last two weeks I discarded most of the plants I was growing due to them being male/herm, but at least I got one female that's looking good so far and have to other little plants that haven't showed any sign of pre-flower so I'm just waiting and hoping... the nutrients I got from Mother Earth are doing their job quite efficiently, all the deficiencies my plant had are gone now and they are growing happily...
Hi and TIA, well I switched this lady to 12/12 last Sunday after that I watered her and fed her with 3/4 of the recommended dose, pH was on range I think 5.6 or something close to that so my question is why is she looking down? Did I fed her too much?
The weeping effect of the plant looks like a bit of overwatering to me.
Your in a soil and coir mix like myself. That's a common issue I get every now and then.
The plants will need a bit of time before the next water, and when it comes do a bit less.
I agree with what @ezzjaybruh is saying and think they look a bit hungry, but before you feed anymore I would get that PH up to aorund 6.5

This brand looks very much like advanced nutrients in its liquid line up.
and their dry amendments is a lot like Gaia Green that I use. good stuff.
Over all your grow is looking good despite this one set back,
Don't forget to keep adding it small amounts of the Grow feed as well as the Bloom when you enter flower.
and next grow try their dry stuff, it has a slightly different feeding/watering schedule but Its great stuff.
Best of Luck and Happy Growing!
Hi, well last week was finally better my plants are recovering and looking so much better now. Also showing little bud sites, i guess just another week and I'll lollipop this girl
Hello growmies!! Well I ended up with just one girl in the tent and two little seedlings I'm growing 12/12 from seed (I'm just curious about it, not expecting anything too impresive) this week I actually started using my scrog net to keep the taller stems from going up and making them stay at canopy level, right now ppfd is about 1100 in most parts of the canopy...
4th week of flower and them buds are finally coming along, I put my scrog net last week and it seems to be working as she is responding in a good way.. she is still showing purple stems on most of the fan leaves so I went a little more agressive with the nutes, there is no sign of nutrient burn so far...
Buds are stacking up, I've been feeding her in each watering and haven't seen any sign of nutrient burn so I guess she is a hungry girl... low temp during night is helping to show nice colors!!
Hi, I'm wondering if I can use great white myco to make clones but without any other product like clonex or cloning solution? Would it work if I just dip my cuttings on it?
No, mycorrhizae live in a mutually beneficial relationship WITH the roots. The mycorrhizae live on the roots and the roots benefit from the mycorrhizae breaking down nutrients into a more easily useable form for the plant to use.
Mycorrhzae on their own will not encourage root growth on cuttings/clones.
Honet supposedly helps root formation, but I have never tried it. You just dip the end of the stems in the honey, then plant into the rooting mix/cube etc.
Cuttings will take root by just placing them in a glass of plain water, but it does take 3 weeks or so, just change the water every second or third day. Root development can be sped up with the addition of an air bubbler/air stone in the water.
Best to buy some clonex, it works well and works faster than anything else.
Hi and TIA, my plant is finishing week 5 of flower and I'm seeing some of the old fan leaves are turning yellow, so I wonder if it's a good idea to cut them or should I leave them alone?
Congratulations on not defoliating, your plant needs all the energy that the leaves make, to be able to grow her biggest and best flowers.
Only cut them off when they are really yellow.
The reason they go yellow is that the plant is taking sugars, amino acids, starches, vitamins etc from those older leaves to be used for flower growing, as it is more efficient for the plant to re-use the pre-made elements from the older leaves, than it is to grow flowers and make those growth elements from new at the same time as growing the flowers.
Had you cut off the leaves before they turned yellow, not only does this reduce the plants capacity to produce energy, thereby reducing growth, it also robs it of this vital resource of pre-made growth elements she has cleverly stored in her older leaves for use during the flowering cycle.
All of the plants energy is made in the leaves.
Less leaves = less energy production = less growth.
Besides, cutting off healthy green leaves and forcing your plant to grow new healthy green leaves is stupid in my opinion, and no doubt, the plants opinion too!
If the plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place!
Hope this helps, Organoman.
Well this week has been quite uneventful, I'm just glad I haven't seen any sign of nute burn... buds are stacking slowly and she is starting to give off citric and piney scents whenever I move the main buds to keep them even under the scrog net!! I'm hoping another four to five weeks to harvest let see how it goes...
Well this week I feel like I got a better understanding on how frequently I'm supposed to water and feed her, she looked so much happier this week.. I'm really pleased with the results so far, also I'm noticing some color fading on the top bud's I guess is part of her genetics and the cold Temps during the night, I'll be trying to keep the Temps down since spring is coming and heat will rise real soon where I live .. so maybe 3 or 4 more weeks to go
Just starting this week, my girl is looking bigger I guess it should be just 2 or 3 weeks more before harvest, most of pistils are still white but I want to be optimistic... I started giving her advanced nutrients overdrive since I couldn't get my hands on some mother earth floresssence, I really wanted to use the complete mother earth set although it smells like shit.
Hi and TIA, So this last week some leaves at the top of the colas started to curl up and the color change to something a bit more yellow with spots on it... I want to believe is normal given she is close to the end but I would love to hear the experts opinion?
She is calling for potassium and cal mag. She is saying too much nitrogen by tips clawing. The nitrogen amount can also be the issue. Or you substrate ph could be out of a safe range.
Hi and TIA, I've just noticed that in one of the buds there is a pair of wild looking pistils like a little more thick I guess and not the typical white color, so my question is what that could be?
Pollen sack aka bananas. Agree with fan off, wet tweezers or just pinch it off with fingers if your dont have sausage fingers. lols. There will be more elsewhere so go hunting ever day and rip em off the second u see em. It happens and even if some buds get seeds in em, once the bud is proper dry, u can just roll a bud between your fingers loosely and most of the seeds fall out. I had a lemon haze self seed and had half a pound of seedy bud, was still good thou. A pain to pick seeds out but hey thats how they did it in the big outdoor fields in africa and india back in the day. Seeds in bud isnt the end of the world ok. A pain in the ass, but you still get plenty of smoke out of it.
It was a really good start, to be honest it was a bit harder than I expected but I guess I wasn't ready.. I mean I was still gathering stuff like nutrients when she was almost on flowering stage, I didn't use any microbes or mycorrhizae (I just bought some of both for the next grow)
Also the genetics in the seed I used weren't as good so I guess there wasn't a lot to be expected from the beginning...
