(4.3.22) Watered with plain PH'd water. The soil is basically dry after 48 hours, so no longer every third day at this point. Still haven't seen any radical change from feeding closer together last week. May continue going forward, not 100% sure yet. We'll see how it goes going forward. Also, still not sure whether to flush or not. Been reading a lot, kind of seems to be no clear cut consensus on the practice. I'd like to see my buds get bigger, so I think I'll just continue rather than starve them out. I'm also not entirely sure about the recommended flower time suggested by the breeder (60-70 days) I'm still a few weeks out of that range, but Plant 2 definitely seems stunted compared to Plant 1. It's always been a smaller plant, it was even a smaller seed (the smallest out of the pack actually). They've been treated almost exactly the same way, so IDK it might just be genetics. I'm really hoping to see better growth out of each plant before harvest, but hey, I'm learning. There's certainly room for improvement going forward, and I've already learned so much. The process continues... Plain PH Water In: 6.6ph - 73ppm Tent 1 out: 5.9ph - 1349ppm Tent 2 out: 6.1ph - 909ppm (4.5.22) 7 WEEKS IN FLOWER I let the day get by me, and didn't realize it was about half an hour until lights out before I had a chance to check on the moisture level of the pots. Sure enough, they felt very dry. I had premixed nutes the day before, but I'm learning the hard way, that PH up will continue to work long after you put it in. 2 gallons now have too high of a PH, so I'm going to have to mix it in to future batches with low levels from the bloom nutes. I quickly mixed up about a gallon and 1/4 to 1/2 of calmag with filtered water, gave plant 2 about 2.75l, and plant 1 only got 2.25ish. I had to do all of this rushing with the lights clicking out about halfway through watering plant 1. I quickly finished, and sucked the runoff as quickly as I could and zipped the tents up for the night. I doubt anything would stress them out, cause it was only a minute or so past lights out, I just didn't need the stress myself! IN: 6.6, 347 Calmag w/ Water OUT1: 6.1ph, 1166ppm OUT2: 5.9ph, 976ppm (4.7.22) Throughout this grow, I've noticed some leaf damage, particularly on leaves that are on the bottom of the tent and directly in the path of my stationary fans. Because of this, I've kept a close eye on them, looking for pests/eggs/anything out of the ordinary. However, I've never seen anything. I read somewhere that wind burn damage can often look like pest damage, so I assume because these leaves are only the ones at the bottom and in the path of my stationary fans, that was the issue. Today I found a leaf that looks a lot like spider mite damage (from photos I've seen online). However, again, I took the loupe to it to see up close and I see nothing. This leaf was right up against the front of my tent, and around the areas that looks like mite damage, there's just a big splotch of discoloration. I'm beginning to wonder if I had spilt some of the calmag water on the leaf the other night when I was in a hurry, and that's what I'm seeing here. IDK. I'll continue to keep an eye on it, but I don't see anything beyond these particular leaves at the bottom. I'm going to continue to assume it's wind damage. IN: 6.5ph, 886ppm OUT1: 6.2ph, 1517ppm OUT2: 6.3ph, 1360ppm HUMIDITY LEVELS: TENT1: 43rh/75f TENT2: 44rh/77f (4/9/22) Watered w/ plain PH'd water, 2.75L per plant IN: 6.8ph, 83ppm OUT1: 6.1ph, 1241ppm OUT2: 6.2ph, 1066ppm HUMIDITY LEVELS TENT1: 42/73-42/68 TENT2: 46/73-45/68

Grow Questions

floodinghideoutstarted grow question 2 years ago
Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.

Looks like all your buds sites are getting light. That’s really key. If eventually u get leaves blocking then bend them out of the way or clip them or slightly spread out stems away from each other. Looks good to me as is at this point.

I'm noticing these on my plant. They all have pistols coming out of them so I don't think they're pollen sacs. I did find some pistols have changed orange this morning but it could be a fan that was blowing on them (yeah, I know I gotta fix that). 1st grow so I'm concerned.

Looks fine to me, those are just calyxes. Herms have stems with visible pods with nanners inside.

Hey Growmie, With it only being the one leaf I would worry about it too much, now if it moves on to more leaves then your going to be looking for a deficiency, but for now, I think you're safe. Feel free to shoot me a holler if you ever need any help, I'd be honored to assist you. Hopefully, this was helpful, and remember ... "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

I am not an experienced cannabis grower (yet 😉), but I do garden. Your plants look great to me. Nice Job! 👊 Oh, for whatever it's worth my RH is at 77% currently and my water temp stays at 73F. I do not have a cooler or dehumidifier. No issues... as I said (yet). My growth isn't helping. So.... I think you got it going on!

@floodinghideout, Your right. That is going to be my next purchase. Believe it or not... it's not even close to the RH I see in summer. Thanks, great luck with this and your future grows. I will be checking in.😁👊

@Wyregrasser, Hey thanks! It's my first grow, so I'm just trying to take things in strides and learn as much as I can. Hopefully my next run will be better and the one after that even better! Looking at your post, if you're in flower now you should definitely invest in a dehumidifier. RH at 77% is pretty high. You don't want to risk powdery mildew or bud rot. Get a decent one too. I tried going cheap and ended up just returning it to Amazon. Bought the bullet and purchased a legit one for just under $200. Does a damn good job!

@Kynareth,Thanks, I'm actually at week 3 of flower as of today! I just opened a growdiary account, but I've written in a physical journal since day one. Updating this growdiary to be current.

Schöne Pflanzen. Keine Sorge mit dem Dünger. Ich hab bei meinem aktuellen Grow dasselbe gemacht. Nur war sie da noch extrem Hungrig. Sie hat alle ihre Blätter ausgesaugt. Aber große Knospen bekommen. Ex 1l airpot grow. Wenn es dich interessiert.
