Royal Runtz + Critical FIRST GROW

This is exactly how some cannabis plants grow, there are no issues with your seedling.

All depends what your goal is with topping. Think thru what you’re trying to achieve. I top around this time. I remove bottom node entirely as it’s weak 9/10 times. Then I’ll top at 5 and keep node 2,3,4. Then I top each again in time and end up with about 12 main colas

Not really I say 200 - 250 ml ... she looks nice and healthy so trust me she's gonna be chugging real soon if not already. Good luck 👍

If you want everything the same height you should let the bottom catch up to the top. Defoliation is fine. You are a little high with nitrogen in the diet. Best of luck the rest of the way.

Es verdad lo que dice @Tubington9, y esas garras son por toxicidad por nitrógeno, en tu diario vi que estas regando con 2ml de biogrow, creo que debes dejar de usar por un par de riegos y esperar que se recupere.

i ll get a 80x80x180 and would SOG 9plants (3x3) 6l pots, short veg, no lst, no topping or whatsoever.

Hey there Dave, i have to disagree with my growmies on this one : you actually have Nitrogen Lock-out , not deficiency, this you can see from the "very dark green color" on some plants, the burnt leaf times, the yellowing starting at the bottom of the plant with the oldest leafs first and moving up. So basically i think your nutrient solution was just too strong in N . The good news is that you're already doing the right thing with watering with plain water right now. Keep a plain water, plain water, feed, plain water, plain water, feed, schedule going forward. One problem you're going to start having soon is cal mag deficiency, just re-include it when you're ready to feed again to prevent any issues. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Here a could article on the topic: https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-should-you-worry-about-purple-or-red-cannabis-stems-n1311 could be a wide range of things (genetic, light, stress etc.) and you don't necessarly need to be worried about it. Happy growing.

Hi mate, For fertilizer problems all you have to do is a runoff test. Measure the EC in plain water(typically between 50-150 PPM) and water the plant with problems. Collect the runoff water from the tray and measure the EC again. I've seen some growers reading 6000 PPM(EC 12) from the runoff and that means your plants roots are almost burning :) If you read something below 400-500 PPM then you are feeding at the proper dosage. In this case there can be a problem with the fertilizer ratios but for %99 times people overfeed their plants. Focus on the first scenario for now. Let me know what you read when testing the runoff water with an EC meter. Hope these will help.

hey there dave, nothing wrong with reducing your light cycle , it will probably help your plants recover, just take a couple more weeks to make sure the plant is perfectly healthy going into flower. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hey DaveHH, When looking at you diary and where thoose leafs came from you should be perfecly fine. Your mid and upper leafs are perfectly green. Plants like to do that do absorb lower leafs. She kind of did the work for you to be honnest haha, most of the growers like to remove the lower leafs to get more air into the plant and since these are in the shadow, they are kind of useless besides that your plant will absorb the nutrients from those leafs like she did. But another thing, at other pictures from the other plants that are light green, this is more a problem. Did you just waterd her when you took thoose pictures? because your soil looks really wet, if not you have been overwatering them, which results into shutdown and (N)itrogen deficiency resulting in lightgreen leafs. Make sure you only give them water when they feel(by lifting them up, and put your finger in the soil) and look dry. If she stays wet ater 3 days, you most definitely overwater her. Good luck growing :)

Yes you should since your plant already doing that herself haha :) You can eighter let her do it and she will take the nutrients out of those leafs, just pick up the leafs when they fall off. or you do it yourself. The benefits can be like your plant can get more air beneeth, and more energy will be given to upper colas + more. Good luck growing :)

Not really. Depends on your grow set up and how you intent to water it for example. High temps mean you must have real good extraction good airflow and more watering. If you can afford this high maintenance and have strains that do well in hot climates you can manage if not best to have lower temps like 22ºC-27ºC. Root temps cannot drop below 15 to work but above 23 you get the risk of root rot much easily. Hope this helps. Feel free to use the chat for further help ;)

you are not giving them any grow nutrients? you know what fuck the temps, dont use that cooler because it raises your rh too much, under leds 29-30C is just fine. keep feeding as you were but also add grow nutrients at the same ratio as the bloom. plants use a lot of nitrogen in every stage of growth. something like 2-8-6 cant sustain a plant. thats too much phosporus and not enough N and K. at least shoot for a 1-1-1 ratio between N-P-K.

with biobizz you never drop out biogrow from the nute plan, probably you are lacking some N and K the high humidity can develop root problems, try to low temp and humidity, next time use plastic container because they dont exchange humidity that easy to enviroment.

Well with most autos you need from 45-60 days of flowering. So go back over your pics but all I can see is 3 weeks of flowering. I haven't gone through your pics but as soon as she starts throwing of stigma, (pistils) you start counting the flower days Most autos will take anywhere with the very quick ones been done in 35-45Days. But with RQS they usually take 6-8 weeks of flowering. They are more long haul auto well most of the seeds guidelines I've seen they are some of the longest (rated) But you are aways from being done. 3-4 weeks i reckon then cut your feed and let her ride it out. You want 90-95% cloudy trichomes and cut her and hang dry her whole (but again, you are aways yet) Ask again in about the time I stated or if you don't wanna ask another Q feel free to DM the ppl that reply here. (Me included if you like) more than happy to talk turkey But yeah my man, you have 4 weeks left under your lights at least. Good luck

You "can" but is it worth it? that answer may be out there with proper research... certainly can't guess about it without understanding how much production is lost in a more resolved way when you remove so many fan leaves. Various biological processes need the products of photosynthesis for plant growth... so, taking that away will at some point have a negative effect. it can't grow without those sugars and the energy they contain to power endothermic reactions necessary to build structures, organelles, etc etc... . bud density pistil coloration trichome coloration (on calyxes, and ignore the trichomes on the leaves) all three of these are great ways to be consistent about when you harvest. you may be at beginning of window... after that it's all about personal preference.. the longer it goes th e more of a sedative effect degradated THC (no longer "d-9-THC," but simpler to say this way) will cause when smoked.
