Germination
3 years ago
Started germination on summer solstice for extra Sun Power. Used a glass of room temp filtered water and soaked overnight. All six had cracked by the next day, and they were moved to wet paper towels for another 24 hours. The following day, all seeds had developed tails a few mm long and they were planted about 1/4” deep in moist soil. Thanks for reading! ☮️ ❤️ 🌱

All seeds sprouted through the soil and are ready to go! Humidity has been high so I have the inline fan running already in addition to the oscillating fan on all day. Light is on 50% dimming, and I gave each plant a pint of water midweek in addition to daily misting with a spray bottle. ☮️ ❤️ 🌱

End of week 2 and all is well! 2nd set of fan leaves are forming on all plants. They are all looking green and happy. I have been watering 3 times a week about a pint each, I need to ph the water and make sure it’s good before we get too far. Turned up the lights to 80% dimming now that we have some fan leaves formed. Looking forward to the next week! ☮️ ❤️ 🌱

Back in town and happy to see my plants have at least doubled in size! Also looks like we are in early stage of flowering now! Started watering about 3 pints every other day. 5/6 plants look healthy but one has yellowing and curling leaves? Is this nutrient burn? I have not added any fertilizer and am using fox farm happy frog which gave me no trouble on my lst grow, also it is just one plant. If anybody knows what is going on I would really appreciate your feedback! I think I will flush the plant tomorrow, and maybe not add any other fertilizer for now. Thanks for reading! ☮️ ❤️ 🌱

Hello I have one plant with yellowing leaves that are also curling downward. Only one plant of 6 has this problem, I suspect maybe this one is just sensitive to the nutrient rich soil? I am using fox farm happy frog and have added no other fertilizer. What to do, flush all?

Yes it looks like you have a nitrogen toxicity(dark green leaves, major clawing). Happy Farms has an npk of 5-7-3 which is good for veg, but has to much nitrogen for flower( shoot for a NPK of 1-2-3 in flower ). Plants eat differently depending on there environment and the strain. Looks like this batch was not eating as much as your last grow and still have to much nitrogen for the stage they are at. I would do a flush to try to get the last bit of nutrients out so you can start to control the NPK and get more K in without being locked out. Burnt tips that are straight is a K def, tips that curl up is nuturent burn One thing that will help is getting your heat down and keeping your humidity at 60.***only keep it this high early flower,(all white hairs) Mid-late flower you will risk rot. This will reduce the amount of water that is transpired which will lower the amount of food that is being taken in. It will not balance your NPK though. If you can shoot for temp between 22C(71F) and 25C(77F). Keep it like this for the next few weeks and she will eat less and hopefully the toxicity will stop. They should be exhausting the food soon so you will be back in control.

Hello from week 6! First off, I think my sick/nutrient burned plant has at least stabilized. New leaves are small and very light colored, With dead ones having been mostly defoliated. I flushed it, and buds are a bit behind other plants but still coming along. All other plants are great, I haven’t added anything other than water since I’m a bit paranoid about burning any other plants. Flowers coming along great. I got a new exhaust fan and osc fan from ac infinity and this thing is dope. I have it automated for temp and humidity and it’s a lot easier to control now. Highly recommended! I spent some good time with LST this week making sure all the buds were nice and spaced out. Looking forward, I might try giving them a low dose of some bloom boosting fertilizer this week, except for the already nutrient burned plant. Thanks for reading! I’ll take any feedback I can get! ☮️ ❤️ 🌱

This week was hot! Had all fans blasting and ac on just trying to keep it below 80. All plants are doing great and are starting to pack on that mass they got named for! Kept up with LST trying to keep buds separated, also did a few rounds of defoliation to improve airflow and focus energy on buds. 4/6 plants are getting really big with lots of trichomes. One plant is a huge bush and is maybe a Week behind on flowers. The plant that got nutrient burned is still sensitive and looks terrible but is getting some small flowers so I guess I’ll keep it. I’m thinking maybe 4-5 weeks to go? Might do a few light feedings this next week to make sure they stay fat and happy. ☮️ ❤️ 🌱

Good week! Everyone is getting fatter, pistils are browning, trichomes are packing on, and the tent is getting danker by the day! They have been taking less water, I’m only watering every 3 days now, a few leaves are yellowing and also some brown spots but I think it’s just getting to be near the end. Trying to keep temp and humidity as low as I can! I’m thinking 3 or four more weeks until harvest? ☮️ ❤️ 🌱

Is this a problem or nah? Brown spots on leaves, mostly on the one plant that is farthest behind on flowering. Thought it was calcium deficiency also contributing to slow flowering so I hit the plant with some nutrients a few days ago. Concern or just end of life stuff? Thanks!

Yeah, this is a calcium deficiency - but here's the thing... I think you're awfully close to harvest so trying to do something about it at this point - I mean, why?! You say they're not drinking a lot which is a big indication they're in their final stages. And I think you're way off in thinking you've got 3 or 4 weeks to harvest - I think they might be ready right now to start flushing them in preparation for harvesting next week. Grab yourself a jewelers loupe or a microscope and take a look at the trichomes... they should be all milky by now... if so, then by next week you'll have about 10-20% amber which is the perfect time for harvest. - Hell, they might be ready today! So as far as a calcium deficiency - just ignore it... it takes time to correct that and is pretty pointless now. Good luck - good harvest - they look great!

All is well, whatever the brown spots are don’t seem to be effecting buds. I put up an extra oscillating fan just to make sure the airflow is good. Lots of good colors coming in! The smell is dank, and the trichomes are getting whiter. I’m thinking about 1 or 2 more weeks until harvest? ☮️ ❤️ 🌱

Week 10 and all is well! Amazing colors are coming through on the leaves, been defoliating a bit here and there. Crystals are getting cloudy, I think this will be the last week before harvest.
