Hello! So this is my "first" real grow. I tried it about 2 times before but both plants died after a few weeks with no real growth. That is also reason why i started uploading at week 5 and not from day 1. Growspace: 60x60x180 tent (maybe gonna switch to a 120x120x200 if i find space for it) 1x small vent (as seen in the pictures) 1x bigger vent to keep the room somewhat "cool" 1x LED 160w Soil: 1/3 Bio Bizz All-Mix 2/3 Coco-Mix BioBizz Nutrients: I will use the Hesi starterbox for the whole grow. So far im pretty happy with it :) Until now I topped every branch once and the main branch twice. I also removed the normal leaves from the first 5 nodes. So far im really pleased with this strain it's amazing how resistant it is! I'm always thankful for tipps especially because i really want to suceed this time :) Log: Day 29; Watered her and did some LST Day 30; Took a clone (used Clonex for this) Day 31; Watered her Day 32; Watered her and cut 4 leaves at the middle stem Day 33; Watered her Day 34; cleaned her up a bit by removing some of the bottom leaves and also one or to on the top Day 35; used the scrog net also watered her today

I started a 12/12 cycle to let her flower. The plant got about 20 tops. I am really excited what yield she will bring me :) Day 36; Watered her also moved some tops Day 37; Watered her but forgot to take a picture Day 38; Watered her without any added nutrients. So far i dont see any signs of flowering :/ day 39; Watered her day 40; Watered her spotted some damaged leaves looks like something is eating them day 41; Watered her finally found the reason for the damaged leaves it was a caterpillar. I carefully took the caterpillar to my garden and let it free :)

The first two weeks of your flowering period, your plant will need a bunch of nitrogen, as she will double in size, and then, she will start making beautyfull flowers... So if you're at day 3, keep on giving grow nuts, and in 10days switch to flowering nuts and you will see so nice flowers coming everywhere ! I hope i helped you !

Day 50; Watered her and did some LST to the clone Day 51; Watered her and did some light defoliation due to a lot of leafs which were on top of each other. She is growing extremely fast right now i hope she wont grow over 1,30meter/51,1inch because if so i would have a small problem with my 1,80meter/70,8inch tent ^^ PS. i also took five clones hopefully they will grow as strong as there mother ;D Day 52; Watered her Day 53; Watered her Day 54; Watered her

Some of the leaves are having some yellow dots on them (See pictures) and some top leaves have yellow tips. What are those dots and yellow tips? Is this a bad sign if so how can i fix it?

With no EC/PPM information it's hard to give an accurate diagnosis. That the pictures are under purple light does not help. Anyway I think it's calcium deficiency, due to either soft water (if your water PPM is lower than 200, there's a high chance this is the cause); or it could be due lockout caused by nutrient excess, those burnt tips support this theory.

The yellow tips indicate nutrient burn. The yellow spots could be a calcium or phosphorus deficiency, but could also be a sign of spider mites. Good luck!
