Note: Moisture and Temp readings are done in the mornings. Lights are on an automated 18/6 schedule unless stated otherwise. Drip water system was not used this week, so I can have a bit more control of nute ratios. Quick Summary: Whadd'ya know, I stop meticulously tracking my feeding thinking everything is well, and AK2 starts getting sick on me. All plants are drinking at a slower rate towards the end of the week. I suspect overfeeding, I will start feeding all the plants a little less and watering with less volume. I think all plants are affected by overfeeding in some way (AK1 showing slight signs of stress), but AK2 is having a full-on stroke. I'll start feeding Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and distilled water throughout next week to see what changes. Most of AK2's leaves are spotted yellow, browning, crusting off, and/or curling. Some leaves are fine especially those not directly exposed to the tent light. Harvest tracking: - North may have about 1-2 weeks to go, most trichomes are looking cloudy and some are clear. I'm waiting until I see virtually no clear ones and slightly amber ones. - AK1 may have 3-4 weeks (assumption based on how North matured), most likely less yield too since it's sick midway into flower - AK2 may have 3-4 weeks (assumption based on how North matured) Day 85 - Manually Watering. šŸ’§: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 1.5 liter (6.1 pH, 1.25 ml FloraMicro, 1.5 ml FloraGro, 3.25 ml FloraBloom, 3 ml CalMag) AK2: 1.5 liter (6.1 pH, 1.25 ml FloraMicro, 1.5 ml FloraGro, 3.25 ml FloraBloom, 3 ml CalMag) North: 1 liter (6.2 pH, 0.75 ml FloraMicro, 1 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 2.5 ml CalMag) šŸ’¦: 41% (39-61) - šŸŒ”ļø: 25C (22-29) Day 86 - Manually Watering. šŸ’§: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 1.5 liter (6.1 pH, 1.25 ml FloraMicro, 1.5 ml FloraGro, 3.25 ml FloraBloom, 3 ml CalMag) AK2: 1.5 liter (6 pH, 1.25 ml FloraMicro, 1.5 ml FloraGro, 3.25 ml FloraBloom, 3 ml CalMag) North: 1 liter (6.15 pH, 0.75 ml FloraMicro, 1 ml FloraGro, 1.5 ml FloraBloom, 2.5 ml CalMag) šŸ’¦: 40% (36-62) - šŸŒ”ļø: 29C (23-31) Day 87 - Noticing some moisture retention in soil. AK1 soil a little moist (2/5), AK2 soil very moist (4/5), North soil a little moist too (3/5). May not water today, monitoring throughout day for soil moisture content. AK2 may be showing signs of overwatering, yellow spotted leaves, soil extremely moist. Manually Watering. šŸ’§: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 1 liter (6.15 pH, 0.75 ml FloraMicro, 1 ml FloraGro, 2.25 ml FloraBloom, 2.25 ml CalMag) šŸ’¦: 40% (36-62) - šŸŒ”ļø: 29C (23-33) Day 88 - AK2 Soil still very moist (4/5). AK1 and North slightly moist. Probably won't water at all today. Slightly top dressed AK2 soil and watered with a little bit of hydrogen peroxide. (Took pics of leaves). Gave AK1 some water (only about 0.45L / 1.5 Cup water) last night so it don't wilt overnight. šŸ’§: Tap: X pH Not Adjusted. AK1: 0.4 liter (x pH, Plain Tap water) AK2: 0.4 liter (7.75 pH, 1ml H2O2) šŸ’¦: X% -šŸŒ”ļø: xC Day 89 - AK2 Soil still moist (3/5). Leaves on AK2 not really progressing with issues. Not noticing any further damage, the plant just seems to not want to drink. Pruned some leaves and small non-producing flower sites. AK1 developed several yellow leaves, new growth very light green compared to parts of the plant that the light is directly hitting. šŸ’§: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 1 liter (6.05 pH, 0.75 ml FloraMicro, 1 ml FloraGro, 2.25 ml FloraBloom, 2.25 ml CalMag) ~1250 PPM ~2400 EC North: 1 liter (6.10 pH, 0.75 ml FloraMicro, 1 ml FloraGro, 2.25 ml FloraBloom, 2.25 ml CalMag) ~1400 PPM ~2400 EC šŸ’¦: 42% (34-60) -šŸŒ”ļø: 25C (20-29) Day 90 - AK2 Soil still relatively moist. AK1 soil slightly moist. North soil slightly moist. May not water today. AK2 looks pretty sickly based on the leaves but doesn't seem like it's wilting and stems not really limp. šŸ’§: Tap: X pH Lost water data (app messed up)!! I watered AK2 with 0.4L water with nutrients based on 1ml/L feeds. AK1 and North got 1L of similar nutes šŸ’¦: 37% (33-60) -šŸŒ”ļø: 25C (20-29) Day 91 - Lost water data yesterday. AK2 looks horrible. Most leaves are twisted, browned, and/or spotted. I suspected overwatering earlier in the week, now I'm thinking overfeeding. So nutes will be toned down until I see improvement. Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 1 liter, 1/2 Distilled, 1/2 Tap (6.45 pH, 0.5 ml FloraMicro, 0.5 ml FloraGro, 0.75 ml FloraBloom) ~430 PPM ~830 EC AK2: 0.7 liter Distilled Water (6.25 pH, 2 ml H2O2) North: 1 liter, 2/3 Distilled, 1/3 Tap (6.10 pH, 0.5 ml FloraMicro, 0.5 ml FloraGro, 0.75 ml FloraBloom) šŸ’¦: 37% (32-56) -šŸŒ”ļø: 25C (20-29)

About 5-6 weeks into flower I started seeing yellowing pop up, eventually the edges started turning brown and curl randomly. The yellowing happens over the course of a day or 2. They drink slower than usual and symptoms don't really seem to be getting better. What could be wrong?

I'm pretty sure that what's happening is that she's coming to the end of her life.... she's been in flower for 7 weeks which is an extraordinary amount of time for an autoflower so I would tell you to start checking her trichomes with a jeweler's loupe or a microscope... see if they're milky, see if some of them have turned amber... if so, it's time to chop! Congratulations!!

Hey there friend. Congratulations on getting into growing cannabis! I think you are gonna really like it here at growdiaries. looking at your diary, 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. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1. 7 is getting up there out of the sweet spot This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ 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!

Took some stretch so far. Good luck with the rest of Preflower. Hope you get some killer colas.

@leafy_greenz, yeah. It can be a bit of both. Depending on how you like to grow. Some ppl like myself like to lollipop. So stretching is not good. With autos if you have a big temp drop that exceeds 5c 8-10degrees you should think about running a 5-1 5 hrs lights on and 1 off. Or 4.5hrs on and 1.5 off. If you want to grow 18-6. Or when you time your lights to go off, make it so that they go into rest at the hottest part of the day in your grow room. Also to to keep a higher temp you can run your exhaust on a timer to turn off and on every 15 mins on and off or for 5 mins out of every 30. This will hold a high temp, once you have a fan in your tent running and always exhaust the high rh/hot air this will all stop the stretch. Take your pick. Happy growing buddy.

@gottagrowsometime, thanks! I didn't even know stretch was potentially bad, just learned this

Nice looking grow so far! I have to say, they look awfully dark green - perhaps TOO dark? This might be an indication of too much nitrogen (and autoflowers really don't like much of any nutes in the first couple of weeks).... I don't see any PROBLEM - just something you should keep your eye on going forward! Good luck!

@leafy_greenz, If you haven't given any nutes yet, then there's nothing to worry about with the color and that's GREAT!!! I would introduce nutes slowly as you said... maybe about 1/4 strength depending on the nute line you're using - because they really don't look like they need anything, right!? Fabulous looking plants. From your notes on this week, it looks like you know what you're doing and are paying careful attention... and btw, I don't think you really need to pump up the humidity all that much if at all... anywhere in the 50s would be good for them! When they get into flower, you're going to want to reduce that so you don't get bud rot. Definitely going to follow this one!

@GrowingGrannie, Thanks for the comment! They actually all seemed to have a darker green tint (since they were 4+ leaf seedlings) than I would've expected, and thought that was interesting. I'm going to slowly introduce nutrients this week so doing a bunch of research so I don't screw this. šŸ¤ž
