She grew big and frosty. After the tiny bit of powdery mildew as flower started it didnt show up again after treatment. Only real issue was PH becoming difficult to manage as she progressed through flower with constant considerable drops overnight. Pulled a test nug which gave a giggly head high followed by a nice transition into a body stone. I'll be hanging her whole for a slow dry after a quick fan leaf trim.

Nutrients
Nute schedule ended up pushing the N too hard and caused lockout for a little while. In future I'd drop the Gro ratio sooner.
Roots have been strong and healthy throughout the grow.
Did the job when needed, after N lockout caused cal deficiency.
Tents
Did the job for a first grow, but filled it out very quickly and it soon became difficult to access certain areas of the plant.

Pretty easy first grow, with a lot learnt along the way for next time. I believe not defoliating enough and overfeeding the nitrogen in flower hurt the bud density in the end, but I'm more than happy with the returns and as its vape use, dense flower is less important to me.
Smoke review
Shes got a strong smell which is hard to place, but definate hints of citrus. Dried slow for 15 days before trimming and packing into grovebags for cure. I left the buds quite leavy because its for personal vape use. Next time I'd harvest a week or so sooner, as the giggles are less noticable now than the test buds.

Hi all! Brown spots are starting to form on the old leaf tips of this young lady. I've had contradictory suggestions as to wether this is nute burn or a deficiency. Nutes were started on d12. EC has been stable at .51 (PPM 360) for the last 5 days along with PH at 5.8. Cheers.

You’re gonna wanna crank them nutes a bit more. 0.5 EC just isn’t gonna cut it as your plant starts aggressive Veg growth in DWC. I see possibly a few deficiencies just beginning. I use flora trio regularly. Id probably be around at least 2-3 mL per gallon of each right now.

You know, it's not required that you keep your canopy level and at the same height... and it's silly to think that only GOOD growers do it this way! The whole point of LST is to get the secondary bud sites out away from the main stem so they can get more light.... if the plant ends up looking like a Christmas tree or a giant green, flat pillow, either is ok! Keeping the canopy even is a technique called SCROG.. for this, you need netting - so don't worry about it! As for defoliation, I've recently run across an article that is now included in my "bible" for all my grows... it tells you WHY, HOW and WHEN ... and backs it all up with the reasons and it's brilliant.... I'll give you the link - I think you will find it PERFECTLY timed for where you are in your grow (which looks great, btw!) https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial Good luck!

Hi there It could just be lack of light its very dense and could do with a good bit of defoliation if photopieroid, Leafs will yellow and deteriorate if they get poor light, Also doesn’t seem much air flow fan wise? You want a bit of air pushing through it will give you more stronger branches/structure, Personally I would try to thin it out about witch would give better light lower down and better air flow, Best of luck 🌱

Oozleanswered grow question 2 years ago
I like to go full bloom a couple days after the 12/12 switch, but with an auto, when you start to see bud sites start. Ask what are you adding/changing when you switch to bloom? More P and K and a touch less N. The plants start to need more P at around week 2 of flower until 5-6. Then they switch to a more K based feed. The plants still need a good amount of nitrogen and calcium (especially early flower). Your plant looks like it might have a slight P issue, some red stems and the lowers are a little blue/greyish. Hard to tell with the lighting. Not bad at all though. I wouldn't stress about it and make the change when you do your next res change or on your top offs, use your flower feed schedule. My only other suggestion would be to do a little defoliation in the middle and the lowers to help air flow and increase top bud site production. Good luck!

She seems to have gotten a much darker green over the last week or so and leaves have begun to take on a different feel. Assume this is just part of entering full flower, but given it seemed to coincide with switching to flower nutes I just wanted to make sure its not a toxicity.

Too much N at this stage of growth. Not calmag. Not yet anyways. I can see some rust spots. That comes from too much N in later stages of flowering. Use 1-3 ratios for these nutrients. .3ml grow 1ml/l bloom and micro can be 1ml also. But to much N for this Stage in hydros. Good luck.

Honestly, if this was my grow, I'd be defoliating! I've defoliated a grow right up to 2 weeks before harvest with no adverse effect... I'd want to be getting as much light into the lower bud sites as possible. But do it slowly - a little bit today, see how she is tomorrow... if she hasn't reacted, do a little bit more... etc. I trim off fan leaves that are either covering bud sites or growing towards the main stem... this will do a couple of things - along with getting more light into the lower bud sites, it will also tell the plant to concentrate its efforts on the buds themselves, not the leaves. You might want to take a look at this article which I find very helpful: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial Just want to talk a little bit about the nitrogen problems you've had.... the FloraMicro is LOADED with nitrogen and it's this particular nute I cut back on first... Honestly, I'd cut that back a bit more (if not cut it out altogether) if I were you and I'd bring up the amount of FloraBloom... leave the FloraGro where it is.... but FloraMicro has an NPK of 5-0-1 which really isn't very healthy for plants in flower so I completely ignore the feed chart on this nute... in flower, you want a lot more P and K and very little N.... Good luck!

Hello! I can see how the trichomes are still all transparent while some are becoming milky, so it will take another 10-15 days! When the pistils are pretty much all brown, then in theory the trichomes should be all milky, from there you can either harvest (for a more cerebral effect) or wait a few more days until 25-50% amber trichomes for a more physical effect! Anyway, you can start to flush :) Happy growing!

Indeed, life always finds a way. My vote would be "snip". I totally get that it probably won't make a difference one way or the other, however, you clearly took action to have a clean and clear understory on this plant. Presumably with the idea of directing all the plant's energy to the prime flower sites higher in the canopy. Why stray from that at this point? I'm not suggesting that leaving it would undo you previous efforts, but I am suggesting that to leave it would be counter to your initial intent/plan, and that this far in, it should likely take more than a whim to get you to do something else. If you want to see what happens if you leave things like that little guy, then start another seed and don't train or manipulate the plant, just let it be. My prognostication is that you'll get a range of buds, some of which aren't going to be beautiful, tight, or any of the other adjectives we use today to describe top-shelf flower, but that they will all "get the job done". Of course YMMV.

Banana, get some scissors and cut it off. It's a pollen sack, occasionally as the plant is nearing the end it will produce a banana as a last gasp attempt to be pollinated. Looks good, that's a sign it's nearly ready. If it had hermied that's another issue completely, just cut that little part off before it pops. Nothing to worry about there bud. I had a hermie on my last run which I was too late to spot, ended up with a seedbank.

I would break it down in decent parts to hang dry with leaves on. To slow drying process. With humidity 50 to 60 percent and temp ideally 65 f. But I usually am around 71 f. I cut fan leaves off after a few days. They are left to slow the drying process. In all my harvest videos on YouTube I do this on camera. Feel free to check one out if curious to what I mean by decent size. I bag it in 6 to 8 days in a grove bag.

14th day of dry. Temp/RH have been around 60/60, but not getting snap from stems. Did trim yesterday and took a good deal of dry leaves by simply pulling gently / running the scissors over them. Would you cut and jar at this point or leave until stems are brittle?

Drying until all the stems snap can may be too dry. To test trim off the stems and put some into an airtight jar with a hygrometer. The next day see what the humidity is inside the jar. If it's 58-62% that is about perfect.

Man, if you had of gotten the right advice in the start. I can see you have low mag on wk 3 on the tips on the left side. And the spots are indicators things aren't smooth with your mixes. Did you get hard or the soft water trio bud? I really think its the wrong trio you have. Can be easily fixed though.

Hey there, cheers for the comments and feedback. I've just checked the bottles and the micro is marked as soft water. I havent noticed any yellowing since those first couple of leaves, and she went a good couple of weeks with no nutes as a seedling, so I think I just waited too long on that initial introduction. Since going for 10d res changes and higher nute doses she seems to be doing much better.
