Had to buy an extra fan, the tent was getting to 33c, I think cos the weather has gotten warmer, have left the window open in the room as well which has bought temp back down to 27c/28c I have a carbon filter and exhaust fan already and have only one tiny fan inside.. Cbd 20:1 seems to be a bit floppy? I’m not sure if this is normal for the strain or I’m doing something wrong. Other two plants look good. Any advice would be welcomed :) new
Cbd 20/1 leaves have gone a bit curly, not sure what that means, will put a close up pic in the diary at some point. Started Biobizz grow and bloom this week. Cbd crack is growing mad fast and gaining a lot of height. Stardawg seems to not be growing much in height this week but looking good. Added intake fan this week removed one of my fans too and just have one in there now.
You will see the first signs that flower period beginns if you watch out for white hairs. Where those appear you will have in a couple of week and after some more stretching of the plant nice buds 😁
Started flowering. Have a couple of lower leaves dying on Cbd crack. Not sure if it’s normal or not. Still having problems keeping temp down. Have started tucking some of stardawgs leaves to try and let, the light get to the lower bud sites
My problem with the leaves is getting worse, I’m not sure what it is, I thought I might have over watered so I left the soil to dry out. I got the humidity problem down to 50% I’ve turned led light down to 65% to get the tent cooler. It’s now at 28c light on I dont know what toDo
oui je viens de regarder ton journal tu es léger sur l'engrais surtout pour du biobizz qui est déjà un engrais léger augment ton biogrow ta plante puisse dans les feuilles vue quel à faim en plus d'après ton journal tu viens de passer en floraison donc pendant la pré floraison elle a manqué d'azote voilà j'espère que çà peut t'aider 😉
Not had a great week leaves turning yellow think i have solved the problem and wasn’t enough nutrients so have added more and carried on following the sheet chart at half the amount of nutes like fast budz told me to. Fingers crossed this fixes it. Thank you to the lovely people who have helped me work out what is wrong and how to fix it too, I’m very greatful
Not a very bad week apart from being poorly at the beginning of the week and having to go in to hospital, so the girls where badly underwatered when I got back but picked up in a couple of hours. But I think they are recovering from the unfortunate shock. Turned the leds down to 60% while we where having a heatwave to keep the tent temperatures down to avoid heat shock.
Buds are starting to fatten this week. I am struggling to keep temperatures down in the tent because it is so warm now. So I’ve had to buy portable air con for the apartment. That should come this week some time, hopefully help the tent draw in cool air to keep temperatures down. I feel like my second grow will go a lot better, with the stuff I’ve had to buy along the way this time, that I didn’t realise I would need. Probably growing in the cooler months would be a lot easier too. Even though I have Samsung elite leds on 100% they will heat the tent up to around 33c and cause heat stress. I’ve been adjusting the lights to try and keep the temps down in the tent so it’s around 29/30c. Thank you everyone for the help along the way. You’re all amazing!
Mid week update, the buds on the plants are really starting to fatten up nice! Ngl I got excited lol 😂
Going to start flushing stardawg this week as she seems pretty much done. The other two aren’t quite there yet I don’t think. Any advice would be appreciated 🌱 🐝
Not all strains like the same temp and humidity..
So the conditions will be perfect for the dawg but at a guess with the cbd being abit droppy can indicate its craving air humidity.
Lots of people use humidifiers or put a tray of water near your air inlet.. instead of the Fan in side have you tried to run a inline fan the feed fresh air?
They are looking good mate happy growing 🌱🌱
@ProfessorGreen, I’ve actually put an inline fan in today. I’ve moved the fan to the back of the tent not near the Cbd strain as well. I’ll give the water a retry too thanks 😊
Hey there friend. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit.
I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily.

For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1.
This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil.

As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully.
So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process.
Happy growing friend!
@LegacyMarketFarm, thank you I am new to this and appreciate all the advice you have given me. My tent is very small and I think it’s mostly at 29-30c lights on and about 26 lights off. I’m having to keep the window open to the room or it’s getting too hot in there, I don’t think it helps that I don’t have anywhere for the hot air to go out properly due to trying to be discreet. I have a dehumidifier now, so that will be going in the same room as the tent. What temperature should I be aiming for and humidity at the moment? I’m lost with how else to keep temps down ect. I don’t have air conditioning to keep room temperatures down. I’m thinking next time would a bigger tent help to keep the temperature down? I got the led lights because they are suppose to be the coolest. The tent is currently at 29.5c and 51% humidity.
Hey there,
Thanks a bunch for growing our genetics, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a good one
