So far everything has gone exactly as planned. Super excited with the progress. The combination of a few different germination methods worked great for me.

Still growing beautifully. With veg and nutrients shes really growing rapidly now. During the feed a few drops splashed on the leaves and by the end of this week I am starting to notice some nutrient burn from it, I will be very careful not to let this happen again, but if anyone has tips on what to do when this happens I'd appreciate it. Not too worried about it though as I plan to defoliate the bottomed few nodes in a week or 2.

Very stressful week for a 1st time grower🤦‍♂️ But I remain optimistic🤘 What I first believed to be nutrient burn from water splashing on the leaves when feeding, I now believe to be a CalMag deficeny after more research. I'm using hard water so I assumed it would be high in cal and mag. Due to this I added very little CalMag at first. After upping CalMag she grew very well with no new signs of deficency for most of the week, then after the top of the soil became dry she started to show deficeny signs rapidly. I gave her a little more water with only Calmag in it to see what happens. They start out as shiny spots in between the veins on the leaves. Then within a couple days the spots turn from shiny to yellow and the leaf begins to dye. The deficeny seems to only appear on the lowest growth until it dies then the next node gets it. If anyone has any tips or you think I have made the wrong diagnosis please let me know. I'm very happy with her growth, by the end of the week shes just as big as before defoliation. I'm just concerned if I cant get this deficency in order there wont be any leaves left😬 Again any help is greatly appreciated🤘

Another stressful week, cant seem to figure out the deficency completely. I've been spraying her with CalMag water and I've also upped the amount of Calmag in her feed, and she responds well directly after. But after a day or 2 when the soil begins to dry a little the deficency spreads. But I also dont want to over water her. Ive been leaving lower fan leaves with deficency on her because it seems to slow it from spreading. I'm still very happy with the growth and everything but I really want to get this deficency figured out so all of her leaves dont die. Any help is greatly appreciated🤘

CalMag deficency? Deficency starts on lowest fan leaves. Starts as a shiny spot in between veins that later turns yellow, eventually spreading to whole leaf causing it to die. Uping CalMag in feed and spraying her with CalMag water mix. She responds well at first then spreads.

Not a bad week. Began low stress training halfway through the week. Wanted to start sooner but also didnt want to stress her out too much since I've been dealing with issues. I believed it was CalMag deficency, but after asking, most of you thought it was nutrient burn. So I only fed with PH 6.2 water all week and it seems to be helping so far. Should begin flower soon😁🤘

Good week, shes still growing great. Continue to see either deficency or burn on leaves. I have fed with only PH water for 2 weeks now and she continues to show spots. If anyone has any ideas what the problem is I'd greatly appreciate your input. But if you do have an opinion if you could also explain why you believe so would be very helpful 🤘

Continue to see deficency or burn in leaves. I have fed her only ph water for 2 weeks and it continues. I asked for help before, everyone just tells me what they think is wrong and not the reasons why. If you have an answer it would be appreciated to know your reasoning. Thanks🤘

I think your plant is hungry man , 2 weeks with no food in perlite will have it feeding off herself for food . I always feed within 24 hours of a flush especially in veg . You might of had a ph issue in the past that will still get you a few damaged leaves a fair while after you’ve fixed it . Pull those sick leaves off and get some food into her .

First week of flower. Excited to see the beginning of the buds. Still having some problems with leaves but I've just been removing them after they die. Love the colors shes starting to get.

2nd week of flower. Starting to get some nice grapefruity and a kind of cat pee smell. Still having problems with leaves having deficency, but the buds are growing great.

3rd week of flower going great. Buds are really starting to grow. Been measuring runoff which has been acidic so I've been feeding and watering a little more basic. Overall going very well and the smell is getting stronger everyday🤘

Everything going great with flower. I believe I'm getting the acidity taken care of I was dealing with in the runoff. Wonderful smells coming from her everyday, more citrus grapefruit smells coming from her now.

The bud growth and the different smells she puts off every week continue to amaze me. For a first grow especially I'm extremely happy with what's shes been able to do in such a short time really. Still have a long way to go to get the final product, but with everything shes been through so far and how resilient she is I'm completely confident we'll get there🤘

Buds are really starting to get some weight to them. You can see the branches starting to hang lower because of the weight. Seeing nice colors.

Starting flush this week. Plan on 2 week flush. Everything looking great. Shes starting to form drops of resin all over her buds. Probly could have started flush sooner but because of ph problems I had I wanted to let her get as much of the nutrients out of the soil as possible.

Final week of flower. Flushed at begginging of the week. Put her.in darkness for the last 3 days of the week and she made alot if resin spots on her. Trimmed her before I chopped her just cause it was easier that way. Overall after everything i put her through I'm very happy with how she turned out.

Extremely happy with the way this grow turned out😁 Despite all the obstacles I put her through, from way over feeding at the begginging, to over defoliation, to ph issues in the soil she continued to prosper. Now she will dry for 2 weeks before she goes to cure. I ended up wet trimming before I chopped her just cause it was easier for me to get all around the plant that way. Very grateful for everyone on here helping with questions or just checking out my grow. I have gained alot of new knowledge from this grow. It makes me excited to get started on my next grow🤘
