Little_Pot Starting my first grow. Worrying a bit about the environment, because my grow tent is in a basement, and ambient temperature is always 17-18 C. I am going to use paper towel method, and after germination put the seedlings to jiffy pellets.
Widow started very good, root on second day, very nice looking true leaves on day 4. Moved it out of humidity dome on day 5. Transplanted her to temporary pot on 6 day. Looks good!
Gelato was not so successful, no signs of root for 5 days. I moved it to another diary, where I tried to revive it using H2O2

Little_Pot She continues to grow, transplantation seems to have no bad effect.
Still looks good. Waiting for roots to shoot out of the pot.
Day 10. In the night humidity rises too high, so I put dehumidifier in. Also if I put my nose very close to WW I can smell it
Day 11. She has nice MJ smell! Roots start appearing on the sides, and there is one root at the bottom. I think in 2-3 days I will put her in the final pot
Day 12. Smells stronger every day! I am happy with development. Tomorrow I will put her in the final pot, and after 2-3 days start adding nutrients.

Little_Pot Day 15: beautiful 3 finger leaves are very good developed
Day 16: moved her into the final 3 gallon fabric pot with bio bizz all-mix soil.
Day 19: first watering in a new pot. I noticed some pale mosaic discoloration of the older leaves. Otherwise the development looks good to me

Little_Pot Day 22: gromwies say that she has thrips, so I put some blue and yellow stickers
Day 23: sprayed leaves with DIY insecticide from Castile soap, alcohol and h2o2
Day 24: sprayed again. Started with LST, bent main stem down. Noticed that tips of newest baby leaves are turning brown
Day 28: tips on baby leaves were brown because of spray with alcohol. She seems to recover very good from LST
Today I noticed that smallest leaves are getting brown tips. Yesterday I sprayed her with diy insecticide against thrips(soap, alcohol and h2o2). Could it be light burn or nutrient burn? She grows in bio bizz all mix which is heavy fertilized, and gets no extra nutrients.
Have to agree with Organoman here... either use some Spinosad or Dr. Zymes or SOMETHING that is made for spraying plants that does NOT contain alcohol! Both Spinosad and Dr. Zymes will take care of thrips (and spider mites and aphids and and and) and both are organic. If you get the concentrated versions, mix them exactly as directed...
Good luck!
Almost all new leaves are extremely thin on base. On some nodes only 1 finger is developed. Some new leaves curl down like claws. I suppose these leaves developed from baby leaves burned by alcohol spray week ago. But maybe it is smthg else? Should I maybe cut them off?
Are you noticing anything weird in the medium?
- no, soil looks good
is it draining well?
- I suppose yes, if I water to much, I see runoff. I have 11l pot, and watering it with 2l water I get some runoff
Does it have a weird smell?
- no, soil smells good, organic, no strange smells
If you dig into a small part of the pot, are the roots crisp and breaking like small threads or are they soggy and soft like over cooked pasta?
- I did not dig to the bottom, but in the top third the roots are thin white threads, easy to break. Definitely not soggy
Are you monitoring your PH? or using any PH adjusters like ph up/ph down or any other acids/bases for a DIY perspective in this grow?
- measured my water today: PH 6 and TDS 200 EC. Used no PH regulators
If you have any runoff are you noticing anything strange from it? Do you have a TDS pen to test it for its EC or PPM count?
- I will water the girls tomorrow and measure EC of runoff
Also where did you get these seeds?
Bag seed?
From a breeder? What breeder was it?
- I got them from Dutch-Headshop. I think the seeds are not of good quality. From 4 seeds 1 died, 1 took 2 weeks for seedlings, and 2 are actually growing.
1. What’s the light intensity and what’s the distance from said light?
2. Leaves curling down is a pre-emptive sign of overwatering
I believe it’s one of the two or combination of both
You need to flush the soil and after flushing let the soil dry out completely.
You can do this flushing by slowly pour water pH 6.2 onto the top of the soil, allowing it to drain freely from the bottom of the pot. Pour slowly, so the water doesn't overflow from the top of the pot. Use approximately four times the pot's volume in water to flush the soil. For example, use 1 gallon of water for a 1 quart pot.
Like I said when you have done this let the top layer (5cm) of the soil dry out completely and after only water half of your pot each time. When the top layer (2-3cm) of this half is dry then water the other half of the pot. This way you make sure that there is enough water with nutrients and oxygen available for the roots.
So not cut anything yet just see how she will react when you di this. Then you can ask me again next week. You can also send me a private message when you have questions!
Happy Growing! 😋

Little_Pot On day 55 I put her to 12/12 light schedule. It may be a coincidence, but two days later I discovered first pistils!
Day 57: first pistils
Day 59 water with bloom nutrients
Day 62: she grows very slow. She definitely got much less new pistils in 5 days as her sisters. Also there are yellow leaves in the middle of the canopy
She has droopy leaves. There are leaves with brown places, and some leaves in the middle of canopy turned yellow. At last she started preflower in week 8(auto) but compared to another girls she is very slow with pistils. Some leaves are curling up.Maybe too much light?
Little_Pot... this one is getting far too much nitrogen - she's not liking it and is trying to tell you that with her droopy leaves and yellowing. She's been locked out of calcium because there's too much nitrogen in her soil - so do a flush - for her, that means giving her 9 gallons of pH'd water at one sitting ... wait until she dries out completely and then restart your nutes BUT cut the grow nutes in half and I would actually double your bloom nutes..
Good luck!
Little_Pot She is very slow with pistils.
Day 64: flushed her with 40l water. Runoff at beginning 550 TDS, at end 250
Day 70: Defoliation

Little_Pot She showed pistils 4 weeks ago. But no signs of flowering. Ok, she got problems with nutrients lockout. It looks like she recovered from it, leaves are green, she grows again. Now I am almost convinced that she is a photo, not auto. So I started to move her out of the tent for 12 hours in dark. We‘ll see how this work out.

Little_Pot Again removed small leaves and branches which grow on wrong places, and are underdeveloped. She has burned tips on older leaves. It could be nutrient burn, but I flushed her three weeks ago and cut nutes in half.
Now I think that she got light burn, she was as close to led as allowed by manufacturer- 30cm. I put her down to 45. also maybe she got calcium deficiency because of the tiny brown spots on leaves

Little_Pot I put her from 30cm distance from LED to 45, because I thought she has a light burn
One week ago she started to get small brown points on leaves. Now there are a lot more of them.
I have her extra watering with nutrients. Also gave her CalMag as foliar spray. It looks like brown points grow slowed.
1 week ago she started to get small brown points on older top leaves,and I moved her away from light to exclude light burn. Now there are a lot more of them. I flushed her 5 weeks ago, now she is getting full dosage of nutes. But these points look like nutrient deficient to me.

Check this graphics out... seems cal mag is needed
if you feed her regularly and recommended dose, most of time the problem comes from cal mag deficiency. they need cal mag to process the nutrient
Little_Pot She still has this smell like leaves of carrots. I put some sugar leaves under the microscope, it looks like she already has a lot of milky trichomes. Maybe in 2-3 weeks she could be harvested.
Hi & good luck with the grow. I have the same plant growing right now myself, currently entering week 5.
I've given you a follow to keep track of how you get on 👍
