The first true leaves are up! Running the SF2000 at 50% for the first couple weeks before increasing intensity. 5/28 - repotted these two into 3gal fabric pots. Using 100% FoxFarms Happy Frog soil. I'm hearing that they shouldn't need much in terms of additional nutrients in this soil & in veg, does anyone out there have any insight there? Any help is always greatly appreciated. Thanks kind strangers.

Both plants are the same genetics started under the same conditions, the right plant is slightly ahead of the left in growth. Noticed some slight spotting on the first true leaves. Wondering if it could have been water+light burn. Using FoxFarm Happy Frog, haven't added any additional nutrients yet. Curious to see if anyone has any advice on the spotting? Nodes are hitting extremely close to each other. Wondering if I should raise the lights to make topping easier? Still at around 18" from the top of the plants.

Noticing some slight browning at the tips as of 6.18. Potentially could be a watering issue, light burn, or maybe first signs on nitrogen deficiency? I'm still 18" from the light to the top of the canopy and light intensity is still set to 60% so I think I'm fine on that front. Open to any suggestions here, I'm going to start increasing nutrients now as I'm moving into flower. Will be feeding with Herculean Harvest + Medusas's Magic on my next watering.

6/28 - Was lowkey worried that my analog light timer didn't accurately hit 12/12 - so I was unsure if flowering was initiated. Seeing a bunch of stigmas (preflower) this week so I'm assuming all is well! Super relieved. Plants seem to be doing better from the initial shortness of nutrients during late veg/vacation. Plants have added an additional ~6" in the past 8-9 days, hoping the initial expansion slows down within the next couple of weeks or I might have to end up tying down the taller colas. Open to any suggestions re: nutrients, slowing the initial pre-flower height expansion, or anything else really. Thanks!

07/04 - Seeing a lot more bud growth and a significant increase in vertical height. Hoping the height increase will round off with the plant emphasizing bud growth. Seems to be doing well using the nutrient regimen I'm using.

7/13 - flowers are making some nice progress. Overall plants are looking healthy. Getting a distinct strawberry/citrus scent. Almost reminds me of strawberry chapstick. I also noticed this slight discoloration on a few leaves, any ideas?

Hello, I'm having some issues with what appears to be a nutrient deficiency (?). I have detailed images on my most recent grow update. Wondering if anyone can help me out on this one, other than these spots on a few leaves the plants seem to be healthy. Thanks!

Flowers are smelling amazing. I noticed some of the stigmas turning orange. Still trying to treat what I believe was a potassium deficiency. Using incredible bulk now and have some Posiedonzyme on the way.

Still treating the phosphorous deficiency. I have some epsom salts OTW for extra mag. The plant on the right is showing some nice purple traits and the buds are larger in size than the other plant.

Flowers are getting thicker and larger by the day. The smell is very strong with notes of strawberry, citrus, earth, and skunk. Will probably harvest in 2-4 weeks depending on progress.

End of flower is going well. Plants seem to have responded well to the addition of Poseidonzime to the nute mix. I will be working that into my rotation earlier on my next run. I'm wondering if anyone has any insight as to when these will be ready to chop? I have heard so many different takes on amber vs cloudy.. Anyone have a solid rule of thumb?

Hello - I'm looking for some insight on when I should chop these & the best techniques for doing so. I'm seeing a mix of clear + cloudy heads + some amber. Does anyone think these are getting close to being ready to chop?

Nope, not yet growmie. You want no clear trichome head, only cloudy and amber heads. So, keep being patient. It will be good in a week or two. The best way to harvest is to chop the plant down at the base if you have a dry environment where you're going to dry your plant. I'm talking 30%-40% relative humidity. This will give you a longer dry than cutting branches off of the stalk of the plant and drying that way. You want a long dry, trust me. If it is humid where you will be drying(60%rh+), you'll want to chop branches off of the plant and hang it that way, after you trim off only the fan/shade leaves to help reduce the moisture in your drying area. Ideal relative humidity for a dry is 60% with a temperature of 60°F. In my opinion, that is. Keep being patient and happy harvest!

Missed photos on this week (out on vacation). I am switching to ph adjusted water (no nutes) for the rest of this week & then cutting down this coming weekend. Cheers!

Cut the plants down on 8/24 - going to dry for 7 days and then trim + cure for three or so weeks. Thank you kindly for all the help everyone. I appreciate ya greatly. Left plant: 110G of smokable flower - 46 of premium flower, 40 of upper middle grade, 24 of popcorn. 26G of trim that will be going into butter. Right plant: 99G of smokable flower - 35 of premium flower, 41 of upper middle grade, 23 of popcorn. 27G of trim that will be going into butter.
