As you see one of the plant has some strange colout changing, can someone help me to figure out where it comes from? I looked it up but it can literally be everything.

Make sure you are using calmag as well... and that your water PH is in the 6.4-6.9 range.. that's a huge factor with leave changing. Good Luck!

Dear reader, I have 3 plants: the one with the blue badge is looking good but the other 2 are short in my opinion. They have lots of leaves and branches but they are like 12 cm high. Is this a problem? Solution? (Lights higher maybe?) Thanks!

That's good, they have not stretched because they receive a good amount of light and so they don't need to grow more stem. Keep in mind that what's important is that they develop nodes, leaves, side shoots, not stem. A squat plant is much better than a stretchy one, it will be easier to have a flat canopy and you will have much less risk of running out of space; LED bulbs are great for that. I invite you to visit my diaries where I'm using LED bulbs exclusively, they will give you much better results than CFL at a 25% the power draw of CFL. PRO TIP: take the plastic dome off, it will give you quite a boost in their light output.

@MissFlowerPower420,Agreed with @bobo420 , grab a magnifier or try to make a macro shot with any smartphone that can do so and harvest based on your trichomes ratio πŸ‘

The only thing that’s going to tell you if your flowers are ready or not is by looking at the trichomes. Looking at pistils will give you extra data and somewhat estimation of the age but the colors of trichomes are what you really need to look at. Clear trichomes: too early. Cloudy trichomes: ready and gives you the β€œhead high”. Depends on the grower, some growers will chop it off when they only see cloudy trichomes. When you have about 20-30% amber and rest cloudy trichomes, many will consider that the β€œsweet spot” of chopping down. Some will wait until the amber colors are prominent which will give you the body sedation feelings. When all are amber, your flowers are getting ready to end its life cycle and probably want to bringing it down as your trichomes are degrading.

@rien, well if you have a really good macro lens, it might work, but you can buy a magnifier with 60x zoom for 10 or 20 bucks. A jewelers lens will work too.

Noob here, how do you check if the trichomes are ready? With a magnifier? Is a phone macro lens okay for that?

@beer420, no problem!! It’s really exciting to see all that your trichomes are ready and ready to be chopped down.

Don't worry, with so many white hairs there is still a quite some swelling bound to happen. You'll see the developments soon.

Hello ! Does the yellowing start on the lower leaves ?

@OutForReal, Just went to check up on them... It's bad... A big leave has fallen by itself and a lot of other leaves are turning yellow as weel. Not much to show you on foto, just small and big leaves turning yellow :(

@OutForReal, LOL, no compost near so... ;)

@beer420,I live in the same kind of area with expenssive shipping costs , that's why I don't use a full nutrient line ! In that case you can give her compost , worm casting or nettle manure (comfrey manure is good too). And the last tips is not the cleaner : you can use piss with 9 part water for 1 part of piss , it contain planty of N (google it , it's true) πŸ˜‚.

@beer420, the rest of the plants look nice and healthy, this one just seems to be a little different, I wouldn't say it's a mistake, she just needs a bit more. the rest of the plant looks nice and green so wouldn't say it's an excess of anything

@bobo420, I don't use nutriets :/ My soil is fertilized for a month and I added some universal fertilizers. Maybe that was my mistake?

@beer420, "warm white lights" doesn't mean anything, it's about light spectrum and PAR that it emits. Maybe this link will be useful ;) https://growace.com/blog/why-is-par-rating-a-big-deal-for-indoor-grow-light-systems/

@bobo420, Thanks, I see you have that golden icon thing :), can you point out how much lumen is the needed and if warm white lights can by used in vegetatin phase? Thanks!!

@beer420, some of it may be genetic sure. Since this is your first grow, thing should only get better. 150W FL may be a bit low for 3 plants though, I'd try putting a better light, using bigger containers and fewer plants until you get the hang of it. Also, doing a bit reading about the subject would do wonders too ;)

@bobo420, Thanks! I know youre an experienced grower so can you maybe tell me why most of mu buds arent that compact? Is it a genetic thing? How can I improve?

Lots of white pistils there, I would go at least 1 more week, if not 2. Enough time for you to acquire a cheap scope so you can look at the tricomes to be sure. You can get one for like 10 or 12 bucks (9euro) on amazon. Nice looking flowers you have!

@beer420, so, just to be clear, no amazon prime where you are? If not, they usually sell them at hydro stores for twice as much.

@BeefWellingtons, Thanks for your comment! Yeah again the amazon thing, everyone seems to buy everytrhing there but I'm so stuck with the shippings costs. However it couldnt be hard to find! Thanks

Hello ! 1.Leaves are sharp because of the genetic , you have mostly sativa dom with ruderalis in it so the leaves will be thin like their parents ones. 2. Bigger could be better but could also not be. Your yield will theoricly be better with bigger plants but the cannopy will be way different to manage. That's just my point of view πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘Š
