Welcome followers. Looking great and started with some defoliation and LST. Happy with what the miracle grow 4 month feed compost so far. Interested to see what results it brings. I don’t plan to give any additional boosters or feeds at any point but that could change dependant on progress. So far so good though I think. How do you think she looks so far? Let me know.
Welcome followers. Great growth throughout the week. LST going well and clearly entering the flowering stage so this is the last veg entry. Couldn’t be happier so far. Any tips welcome. Thanks for following. Keeping things simple. 420Funk
Welcome followers. Bit of a week with this girl. Entered flowering all guns blazing then I noticed the brown spots on leaves forming(pic3). I was pretty sure it wasn’t the amount I was watering but I did think our water is super soft so have added some calmag to her drink. Shall see how the leaves go through the week now and she will hopefully get back on track.
Other than the spots it’s been awesome, she has had a massive stretch with buds forming nicely. Weekly LST and defoliation went well. Watering every other day. Thanks for following. 420Funk.
Welcome followers! So happy with how this is growing. It’s been so steady I keep needing to retrain her to keep things in the right place. LST and defoliation still going great. The introduction of Calmag is now making the difference and will keep it going. Still watering every other day. Thanks for following. Keeping things simple. 420Funk
What else can I do to fix the leaves drying out to crisps?
Started feeding with calmag 2 weeks ago just after flowering started but it seems to be getting worse not better in the slightest. Thanks in advance.

You've got yourself a major calcium deficiency going here, buddy... and just feeding it calcium or cal/mag is not going to help, particularly since you say you've been doing that and it getting worse.
Your diary doesn't mention the PH you maintain with your plant and I think this is the critical source of your problem - and needs to be corrected asap! Calcium is only absorbed when the PH is 6.2 or higher - so if your PH is too low, you can feed it pure calicum and tons of it and it won't absorb one drop...
The magnitude of this, and the coloring of the leaves tell me that your PH is far, FAR too low and you need to bring it up. If you don't have one, invest in a PH pen so you can measure the PH of everything you give her - water, nutes... that range should be between 6.2-6.5... The other source of your problem, I think, is that you're relying on MiracleGro which is NOT a cannabis-friendly nute... she needs to be on some bloom nutes with calmag given BUT ONLY ONCE A WEEK... Pick a decent line of nutes - I use FoxFarm, others you might consider are Advanced Nutrients... you don't have to buy the whole set - just get the bloom nutes for now (and if you choose Fox Farm, buy a small bottle of Tiger Bloom - it will give you a small bit of nitrogen, and a lot of Phosphorous and Potassium ... ideal.... get just a small bottle for now as you only want to get this grow through to harvest) and save the MiracleGro for houseplants...
Once you have your PH pen (and DON'T rely on strips or drips because they're WILDLY inaccurate), you're going to want to flush your plant by running enough PH'd water through her to equal 3x the pot size... You're growing in a 3 gallon so you'll want to run 9 gallons of ph'd water through each pot. Add about 1/2 strength dose of bloom nutes (if you choose Fox Farm - and I don't have any investment in that brand save for it's the one I use - I would add 1.5tsp of Tiger Bloom) to the last gallon of water - and then sit back and let her dry out before resuming your water/feed/water/feed schedule... But always, Always ALWAYS make sure what you're giving her is in that PH range...
One more thing to note - leaves that are already damaged will NOT get better - so to tell whether you've conquered the problem or not, look to the new growth...
Good luck!
Welcome followers. I thought she was getting better but it became clear this week she is really struggling. I am a 1st time grower and a broke one at that so was trying to do with as little expense as possible, that said I now realise I must have the basics. Lack of PH reader has led to the plant not taking in the calmag I introduced leading to further issues.
Ordered a ph reader and will get on top of it. Learnzing all zee time. Strangely my other 2 grows seem to be just fine but they have a slightly long grow period. Check them out!
All that aside her buds are still growing and the redness is starting to show more and more. Smell is deffo getting there as well. Sticky with good trichome growth. Thanks for following. So much for keeping things simple haha. 420Funk
Welcome followers. Got a PH reader this week and have now flushed her through with 6.5 water with calmag. She has started to recover slightly and still putting on to buds. Smells great and really sticky. Couple more weeks should do it. Thanks for reading. 420Funk
Welcome followers. A week of levelling off still. Got some really strong fresh bud growth going on with 95% trichome still clear I’m just keeping a close eye on her. I’m thinking the next week or maybe 2 and we should be cropping. Removed 1 leaf this week that’s it. Thanks for following. 420Funk
Welcome followers! She got chopped today! Actually cropped all 3 today. The loom never lies. 1 in 10 trichomes turning amber. The last few days I could see she was changing and ready for me. Really lush strong grapefruit smell to her that turns lemony once on the fingers. Deep reddish purple in colour. Really happy all 3 have made it so far for my 1st time. Some better than other for yield and quality but gonna get something and that’s all I wanted. Onwards and upwards. Check out my Green Crack and Ultra Lemon Haze grows. So remember I used miracle grow 4 month feed compost and only gave water with calmag. Just goes to show how simple it can be although I will be changing a little for my next grow. Germinating again today. Thanks for reading. Next update will be full harvest details. 420Funk
