I added a bit of nutrients from iGrowCan kit that I didn't use. But it seems that it was too much as there was some nutrient burn visible on few leafs. But it seesms alright :)
Do you think that I should try some LST?
I think that the plant is starting to flower, so I switched from cold 4000K lights to more warm 2700K.
Also I think that there is some signs of something wrong with the plant, there is some light green stains on the edges of the leafs.
I hope it's going to be ok. :-)
The plant have light green discoloration on the edges of the leaves, or on the tips of neww leaves. What does it mean? should I do something regarding the nutrients? or wattering?
Thanks for all answers!
It is the beginning of burning from nitrogen toxicity, the leaves are waaay too green.
Reduce the strength of your nutrients and/or the frequency of feeding.
Autos do just fine on half strength nutrients.
In soil you want a schedule of plain water, plain water, feed, plain water, plain water, feed - so that your plant is getting nutrients every 12 days roughly.
If you have a "hot" soil mix, this would explain the burning too, but there is little you can do about that, except ride it out without feeding.
Wind burn is rubbish and if it were root rot, the entire plant would be a lot more damaged.
If you haven't got one, you will need a fan of some sort though, especially during flowering, otherwise bud rot might visit you.
Hope this helps, Organoman.
So I had to do a thorough flush because I found out that my run-off water is highly acidic (4.6 pH)
It didn't go up much even after the flush, so I started to use more alkalic water (7.0 - 7.5 pH) so I hope I will get back to better run-off values.
Also, I started using a propper nutes from Biobizz, but I am using just a small amount until the pH problem improves.
Overall those previous issues don't seem to be spreading, so I hope it's going to be ok.
I had to flush again because I found out that the run-off was still pH low and the plant started to get worse.
I tried to move a lot of water through the pot, but the pH got better just slightly. The soil remains moist even a few days later, so I was hesitant with the feeding.
But yesterday it seemed to be dry finally so I watered the plant with carefully prepared nutes (pH 6.9)
This time I lost my patience and trimmed the whole leaves canopy + main branch. So part of the flower is already curing. I tasted a bit already, and I am pleasantly surprised by how intensive the high is. I am very satisfied :)
My first plant ever, there were some struggles, but it is amazing in the end. It gives the most awesome high, also after enjoying the high, it makes me sleep so good.
All uncomfortableness that I might feel just disappears with the high.
