So it's been 2 weeks I noticed that my plant suffers from The Claw. After many researches I think it is due to a Nitrogen toxicity even if is the only symptom. The lower leaves are a little darkish but not so much to say for sure it is a N toxicity. The tips of many leaves show a slight nutrient burn but I always feed the plant with 1/4 of the recommended dose. I'm gonna water her just with plain Ph'd water for a few days and see where we are from there.
Hey guys, I found out about Growdiaries a few weeks ago and decided to subscribe to track my grow and look for tips. Currently my plant is suffering from The Claw, what should I do? She seems to be a little burnt by the nutes. I'm currently watering her just with plain water.
Switched nutes two days ago. Before I was using the RQS tablets which I hated because they took like 5 mins to completely dissolve in the water and I had to weigh and break the tablet, now I switched to BioBizz liquid nutes and she is booming right now. I'm so pleased about how she is developing I could watch her for hours. The claw (Nitrogen toxicity) she was affected until last week is completely disappeared on the new growth. Today I tried spacing the various tops more from one another to improve air circulation. She is stretching in this phase, growing more than 1.5cm/day. Impressive. I'm having a lot of fun watching her grow up! Let's hope everything will keep going this smoothly! Can't wait to see those buds fattening! 😅😍
Update day 43 (16/04/2022) - starting to stack up!
Another week has passed. Buds are starting to stack up. I noticed a few days ago that my plant is a little more yellow than I like and is presenting some rusts spots on some leaves. I increased the dose of nutes and now I'm giving her the amount suggested by BioBizz. Increased the dose of Calmag too cause the rusts spots seems to be connected to a Calmag deficiency. We will see how she reacts. For a moment I was afraid she was having a ph lockout since the yellowing and the rust spots are two different problems but my runoff is 0.1 lower than the ph of the water that goes in so I don't think this is the case. Nevertheless, I'm really happy how my plant looks given that is my first grow. My expectations in terms of yield are starting to be a lot higher than when I started this grow ahah, I hope she will not disappoint me but from what I can see the plant has a good bud structure. Smell is intensifying and I can definitely smell some citrus/lemon, very fruity. Can't wait to watch those colas get faaaat! 💪😍
Today I had some fun with my professional full frame camera and I took some decent shoots, check it out!
Hey guys, I know it is probably too soon to make a yield estimate. Does anyone of you want to make an estimate of my minimum yield I'll get from my first grow? I'm just asking for a minimum, not the precise number at all.
Another week has passed and stretch has finished. Turned out I burnt my plant with too many nutes, even if I followed the BioBizz chart and I was trying to correct what I thought was a deficiency. It wasn't a deficiency, I think it was a nutrient lockout: from adding too much PK with the flower nutes the calcium locked out and in addition I burned the plant. I hope I corrected it, the last two waterings I give the plant a super mild dose of nutrients with some MycorrMax to help taking up the nutes left in the soil. The yellowing has stopped fortunately. I'll dial up the nutrients again the next time I water after the next. Nevertheless, it seems I didn't stress her too much in terms of growing the buds: they are fattening and getting frosty by the day and they start to smell amazing. I really hope I can take this first grow of mine to the end without anymore problems than the ones I already have had. We will see how it turns out. I think I have at least 3 weeks to chop chop!
04/05/2022 - Day 62 - Uploaded 4 more photos, all is progressing well, still yellowish but the buds are growing like crazy. Giving her 1/4 of the recommended dose of nutes tomorrow.
End of week 9! Everything is progressing, buds are stacking good, leaves are still yellowish but the calmag deficiency and the rust spots stopped progressing, I'm starting to think that maybe the yellowing is natural fading? Don't have a clue at this point, I just want this first run to finish in the best way possible. She is starting to smell amazing, I really can't wait to chop her but I think she has at least 3 weeks more. Patience is the key!
Day 66 08/05/2022 - Holy fucking shit, I came back home after 2 days that I was out and the smell has taken the whole house LMAO, never felt anything like it, smell of lemon and candy, it makes my mouth wet😱
Day 67 09/05/2022 - Took some pics with lights off and flash and defoliated a bit to improve air flow
Week 10 is ended. Buds are putting on weight. Everything is progressing well, despite she still is a little yellow and some leaves are curling up. I think I can finish this grow without trying to mess with pH and nutrients. I'll give her nutrients for this last week and then I'll start give her plain water for the last two weeks and then she'll get the chop👽. The smell spread in the whole house and it's amazing, it's 6 days that the exhaust and filter are turned on 24/7 cause the girlfriend is starting to complain LMAO. Smell like candy and lemon, I really can't wait to chop her and smoke her. Thank you for taking a glance to my diary, if you have any suggestions or question feel free to leave a comment. I'll see you next week guys, happy growing!
10 days from harvest.I will dry with a temp of 23/24C and 60/62%Rh. Unfortunately buying an ac unit is out of my budget at the moment. I'm planning to hang my plant whole to maximize the time of drying and compensate the hot temp. Will this allow me to dry my plant in a good way?
He just said he has that temp. If he could drop it that low I'm sure he would. What will lower your temp bro. Is if you seal up your tent, open your windows at the end it'll draw up enough of an air flow, it'll be the temp of your grow room, so however you can cool down your grow room by way of leaving your window in an9ther room open and a window open in your grow room you should be able to keep the temp at room level by doing this. This way you'll be able to use your carbon filter if you need to scrub your air? It all depends. If you domy need to scrub your air then hang it in your tent and just leave your intake fan in your tent with ducting off to circulate your air, as you don't want fans blow directly on your grow. Also you can trim some but leave the bulk of the sugar leafs on your plant, (whole), as it draws sugars in. I've dried 1 plant 3 different ways and the best one was hang dried at 60-65 at 23.5 during the day and around 21c at night. Don't worry to much about hitting 20c. Things like that do help you bud I'm not disagreeing but understanding VPD and how co2 and negative pressure environments all help, but you can get some pretty darn good bud without producing duspernersy grade weed.
Good luck bro
Feel free 2 DM me if you need details, and I'll help if I can, tat is. 🤔
I can see the finish line. Last week before the chop. All is well, the buds ripened good and some of them are massive. I'm giving her just water with some Top Max to try to ripen the buds a little more before chopping her. The leaves are starting to show a lot of deficiencies and are more yellow than ever but I'm not worried since the plant she will be chopped next week. I checked the trichomes and we are at 15%clear, 80%cloudy and 5%amber and since I don't want any couch lock effect I'm gonna chop in a week or so. The smell is crazy, really really sweet. The calyxes are covered in trichomes and turned purple so she is showing some beautiful colors too. All in all I'm really happy, I hope I can get at least 50g form this plant but I suspect she will give me even more. I will see you guys next week with CHOP TIME. Finally :D
Hey guys, I found a nanner in one of my buds, she came out overnight and I immediately sprayed with water and plucked it with tweezers. I'm a week away from my first harvest and trichomes are 10%clear, 87%cloudy and 3%amber. Should I chop her early? I don't want couch lock effect
few bananas inside the bud near the end of flowering is something pretty common and you don't necessecarely need to worry about it.
You did the right thing removing it, but even if you didn't it prolly won't had enough time to get mature and drop some pollen before you harvest, even tho such bananas get mature and drop some pollen the plant won't have time to produce mature seeds and the trichromes maturation is advanced enough so it won't impact your harvest potencey in any significant way.
there no valid reason to change your plan for harvest.
I thought that this week would have been her last week of life but I was wrong. Trichomes are still too clear to chop so I'll wait a few more days. It's 2 weeks that I give her just plain water and it has been a game of patience. Only problem I had is that some sugar leaves turned completely dry and crispy in a day and they folded on the inside of the buds. I hope they won't give me any problem such as mold in the drying stage since I plan to dry trim due to my ambient conditions, but I don't think they will because the are completely dry and crispy and humidity in the tent is 38%40 max since 2 weeks. I hope I'll chop her in a few days. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for reading and happy smokes!
Day 91(02/06/2022) - Trichomes are READY. I will chop tomorrow or the day after as soon as the soil dries out from the last watering.
OK after 92 days I chopped my first plant and I am so excited. Unfortunately in the last 10 days almost all the sugar leaves became crispy AF and dried completely, wilting on the inside of the buds. The buds were not affected at all, so I hope since the leaves are completely dry I won't have any mold problems while drying. Once the plant is dry I will trim all the leaves and the buds will look beautiful, I'm sure of this. The wet weight is 620g (whole plant), I will update everything once the plant is dry and weighted. Right now the plant is hanged in the tent with 60/62%RH and 20/21.5C, I hope the drying stage will last at least 7 days. I'm so fucking happy and I can't wait to trim and jar my first weed! Thanks for reading guys, I'll update in 7/10 days so stay tuned!
