Faegrows Paper towel method used after soaking for 12 hours in a glass. Little root showed up and moved her to a small pot. First time using TS1000 and HS40, hopefully she will sprout sooner than later. First grow was without a tent and proper light.
Used canna coco plus and mixed it with some perlite. Presoaked medium before putting the seed in.
Light is currently set to 20%
I recently started growing in my new HS40 with the TS1000. How high should I put the TS1000 at untill she sprouds? Should I keep her on 25% untill she sprouts or can I push it up a bit? The light is all the way up.
Hi,
hab auch mit ner 1000 TS angefangen. Du kannst die Lampe auf 30cm Höhe hängen und ca. 20-25% Leistung geben. Würde erst mal mit 20% anfangen, erhöhen kann man immer noch.
I feel like she is developing slowly compared to other plants I've seen. She is almost 2 weeks in and still only has her first pair of leaves. What am I doing wrong? Should I start feeding her already? The lamp is at 30cms as per just now, it was at 60cm so far on 25%.
Hmmmm... for my autos (and they're all I grow), I honestly don't bother with all this "reduced light" stuff... if I'm growing in a tent, I give them one day of slightly shaded exposure to 100% lights and thereafter, my lights are on 100% 24/7 until I harvest. I've just started 3 autos outdoors on my porch and they JUST broke the soil this morning - and they are getting 100% of the sun's light (and I will be taking them into my tent every night for 100% light so they get 24/7) and doing extraordinarily well. I can't be bothered with all the fidgeting with lights, tbh... I've grown too many other kinds of plants all my life and anything that can tolerate full sunshine can start out life in full light.
You're about at the point where I start mine on 1/4 strength nutes and I would suggest this to you. I would also transplant as soon as you can into the pot they're going to finish their life in (autos don't really like to be transplanted at all so I always germinate in either a 3-gallon or 5-gallon fabric pot) Be VERY careful when you transplant that you don't disturb the roots very much if at all! I would transplant, let the lady rest and recuperate from that for a day or two and then introduce your 1/4 strength nutes - and I think she'll be off to the races!
Good luck... she looks good!
Faegrows New week new chances! I transplanted her after the advice of others in grow questions to her final 5 gallon pot. Watered her a little and turned up the light from 25% to 50%. Put about 25% perlite in, now I'm thinking I should have probably put in more. Let's see how it's gonna grow now. Sprinkled in some biosys for the root growth and granular one as well, decided in all soil. Fingers crossed!
I just transplanted her 3 days ago, but her color seems to be changing to a sad green and she is not growing. I think I might have accidentally damaged her roots while transplanting. Did I break her and should I give up or continue? The water is gets is 6.2.
From what I can see you have not given any food. from what I can see if your in coco/perlite mix. Which is great for root development.
Both Great white and bosys are for breaking down food and creating a healthy root system. But they need food to break down. So you have 2 choices. Top dress or bottle feed.
1. Top dress(I have zero exp so take this with a grain of salt ), like mentioned below adding coffee grounds. You add this to the top of your soil( or mix in when creating a "Super soil") and as they break down they release food for the plant.
You have to pay attention to the NPK of the things your adding as they need to be in the correct values/amount for each stage of growth. If you want to go this route I would look into finding
a single brand that has a veg and bloom top dress mixture pre mixed that you just add.
2. Bottles( this is how I started and stuck with ). This you would be finding a brand and using the "Feed Chart" they supply and add 1/4 what they recommend as feed to your plant. You will also want to get and EC/PPM pen, This
will help you figure out if your over feeding or under feeding.
Also if your in straight coco like a said above then you want to have your PH at 5.8 for veg and 6.2 for flower ( always stay in the range of 5.5-6.5 range)
Good luck and Happy Growing
Faegrows Feeding her 2l every 3-4 days now. She seems to be bouncing back. Started feeding her nutes which seem to have helped. Turned up lights from 25% to 50%.

Faegrows She seems to be picking up okay. Feeding her every 3-4 days now.The stems are a bit red, not sure if that's normal. Still seems to be growing decently now. Still a little slow for auto I think.
red petioles and red stems are 2 different things.
red petioles can come from the LED lights or a nute deficiency... gotta check the leaf chart.. (google and save animage of one for your own reference) -- P-deficiency.
So, i'd consider what you currently feed, any experience... don't blast it with P blindly as it could easily be casued by intense LED lighting and some plants just react that way to LED it seems. i've tried to give more P and it does nothing for it and would often bring out some symptoms of overfeeding.. so i was pretty sure it was teh LED in my context... rule things out and don't react too quickly.
for future reference.. streaks of read in stems.. not petioles.. are a symptom of sulfur-deficiency
Faegrows She seems to be picking up on growing speed finally! Had a little accident where my ferrets climbed in the tent and jumped on top of the plant. Wasn't sure if she would pull through but she seems to have recovered pretty decently. She is growing lots of leaves. I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with them. Will get some info from the question section.
Peace out.
My baby is finally starting to grow and expand fast. I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with the leaves, as there seem to be so many. Should I take down some leaves? Should I leave them? It's the first time growing in such a small tent and a auto.
leave the leaves -- as best you can.
overlapping leaves creates standing water -- probably a net positive to remove 1 when you see it.
Light reaching lower areas is a good thing, but you generalyl get more bang for your buck hitting top leaves... still sometimes may be a good idea. or may not.. there is little to now research with suitable samples and suitable apples to apples comparison to be certain one of many other factors that varied between teh two samples influenced results.
airflow is good for avoiding microbial growth (same reasons as the standing water above...)
Less is more. LEaves produce the energy that powers growth. removing leaves reduces that overall energy potential. this is one thing where the anecdotal stuff should be ignored as it is way too fine of resolution to see with the naked eye and is mostly likely jsut what someoen did 1 time and ppl just mindlessly repeat it without ever verifying the inductively drawn conclusion. buds do not photosynthesize.. this is mostly likely a false positive when ppl say they think light hitting buds makes it less larfy... it's more likely becaue light is hitting the sugar leaves and leaves more local to that bud site.. has nothing to do with sex organs... does a male human's penis help you breathe? no it does not.. it has evolved and built for reproduction not respiration. while anything green on the plant can technically photosynthesize, it is either extremely attenuated (underside of leaves) or extremely limited due to concentration of chlorophyll -- enough to make it green but nothing compared to the anatomy of leaves.
leave as much as you can... i take off too much but i am deathly afraid of WPM BWahahah. i try not to remove all leaves from any 1 growth node. i am systematic about how i remove them so there there is some pattern to the growth to avoid the same problem within a short period of time. e.g. i may go around top colas and remove the leaf on the right on each. maybe, alternate a node down from that etc etc..
removing leaves at top can exacerbate stretching* fyi... you keep pulling some off up top during flower stretch and it will stretch more than it normally would have. can be a good or bad thing... use it as a tool if you need a stretch, but don't mindlessly do it, eithe.
She's doing really well, isn't she! Good job so far! I would suggest you start to do some LST on her - gently pull the branches away from the main stem and secure them... if pliable enough, these can be pulled as much as 90-degrees but they need to be PLIABLE! There are LST clips you can buy and I love them - but I've also used soft strips of cloth and pin them to the fabric pots when I get the branches where I want them... others use pliable garden wire that's rubber coated... there are many different ways of doing this. LST will open up the plant and give much more light and air to the lower bud sites and you'll have a much better yield when it comes time for harvest.
Good luck! Looking good!

Faegrows The plant seem to have stalled. The new leaves are growing super weird, I'm not sure what the problem is. On the pictures you can see what they look strange. I flushed them last week twice to make sure it wasn't bites which definitely is not it. I moved up the lamp in case it's too much for the plant? Is it possible it's the humidity in the room? It's 90%+ and I can't seem to get it down. I'm not in the opportunity to purchase a fan and filter combo for my small growtent. I currently run small fans and have a dehumidifier in the tent which I empty every few days. Is this what is causing it? Or is the issue something else? The new small leaves also started clawing and curling up but the plant doesn't seem to grow anymore / have stalled at the moment. Any tips/suggestions are more than welcome.
Anyone know what the problem can be that my plant looks like this and is not growing atm? Weird leaf colours and the newer leaves are clawing. Already flushed it last week twice. I posted some more comments about it in my diary and pictures too. Any tips/advise/help is welcome
94% humidity!
If you are not using a fan of any sort, the plant can not transpire properly and get rid of waste products, affecting new growth due to internal toxicity.
The solution is simple, but it might be difficult getting this plant to recover.
Faegrows Got rid of some of the weird leaves. I've been feeding her regularly every 2-3 days and stopped letting her dry too much as I used to do before. It seems to help. I started feeding her again and upped the lights to 100%. It seems trichomes are appearing but I can't clearly see yet that she is flowering. Hopefully it starts within a week. Thanks so much for all the tips you guys leave behind when I ask questions. I read all and keep all in the back of my head when moving forward. I also removed the growtent as it seems to bring down to 99% humidity massively to a 50-65%.
You have took the advice a couple weeks ago, looks like a male plant and FastBuds team are really good, let them know and they will replace them very quickly
Mate sorry for saying this but you have a male plant not female I hope you don't have anymore plants near this cos the pods open so you will have pollen everywhere
@Se7en616, I HOPING it's not mosaic virus.... if yours is doing the same thing - small leaves, mottled pigment, read up on the virus at this link and see what you think.... it's not been scientifically proven that cannabis can be infected with this particular virus BUT.... https://2fast4buds.com/news/tobacco-mosaic-virus-in-cannabis-plants-symptoms-and-prevention
@Se7en616, I've just looked at your diaries and can't find one that has these symptoms.... if you've got concerns about your grow, there's a place at the bottom of your diary where you can post a question to the rest of the growers on the site and get their opinions (one of them will, I'll tell you, be mine...) But it's a really useful way to get other thoughts on what might be going wrong with a grow and what you might do about it...
@GrowingGrannie, thanks grannie I’ll post up i. There shortly! It’s just the clawing one my cherry cola has only effecting new growth and not all fan leaves, definitely doesn’t have that discolouration though. Thanks for the advice :) I’ll post up better pics some point soon :)
