So this bad boy is still showing signs of some sort of problem, I will try to find out what is the reason it has this yellowing around the leaves. Would be much appreciated if anyone knows what could be the problem and could tell me, would save me a lot time.

Hi, im having some troubles with this little girl, there is this yelowing around the edges on some random fan leaves and smaller bottom leaves. I am not sure what is wrong since all the other plants are growing well under same conditions. Could it be magnesium deficiency?

I agree Dude, i think the reason for your defiencys is the PH. that plants can take all the Nutrients out of the soil they need a Ph -range from around 6 to around 7. i will let you a link to a nice shedule where you can see the Single Nutrient and the Range they need to get aborbed from the plant https://www.growweedeasy.com/ph/#soil-pH... this is a very nice site it shows you how to diagnose and handle problems whith your plant

This cheese girl is recovering pretty well after getting too much nutes. Gave her fresh water without any feeding solution and the leaves look like they are getting green again. Gave her smaller anount of nutes than usual, so will have to wait and see how she reacts. Removed bigger fan leaves for better light penetration. My bending technique is like crazy persons, but i have fight with the size somehow

Still having the magnesium deficiencie, but it doesnt look like it's too bad, so will wait and see, maybe removing thea leaves will help. Other than that it is pretyy strong and healthy. Has lots of budding area so cant wait to see how it grows. Diary will be updated in a week, thanks for support and help I got with this plant from you guys. [Edit] So to start fixing the issue, I have flushed CC, ghe runoff water ph was good @ 6.5, so the problem I was having was happening not because of bad Ph levels, but just basic nute deficiensy. So what I have forgotten before was to start giving flowering booster which was rich of magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. After flushing I gave her a proper dose of nutes + booster (ppm @ 1150). Let me know what you think guys. To be continued...

So this baby is affected by Mag deficiencies the most, but i believe she stretched the most as well of all the plant. Few days ago I flushed her, to check the runoff ph and it seems its staying at 6.5, gave more Floweiring booster which has Mag, still doesnt look like discoloration stopped. On monday im going to the grow store and will buy CalMag supps. Well you live and learn, and this baby really wants me to learn more about growing plants.

End of week 9. This baby, despite the mag deficiencies, is still growing really big and nice, has lots of yellowing leaves tho. Waiting for CalMag+ to arrive to start the recovery and hopefully get even better yields. I will be updating next week, saturday as always, happy growing! To be continued...

This one is my big girl, she will bring me alot of juicy and delicious fruits very soon or it would be more accurate to say juicy and smelly cheese. She is growing good, got her before harvest flush today, but I estimate at least 10 more days. She produces a lot of smell, my whole apartment smelled after I've been done flushing. But it is a nice and delicious cheese, thats for sure. Can't wait to smoke it! Will be tough 1,5 month after I chop her, knowing how impatient I am, curing is the hardest part for me

Critical cheese is something on another level this growth, have never had a tree this thick and juicy. Buds are tender, heavy and frosty. It doesnt produce that much smell in the box, but once you touch it, your fingers smell alot and really tasty. Gonna give it one more week since trichomes are still half crystaly. To be continued...

So finally my biggest baddest plant has come to the end. Can't be more proud, this feels like its the biggest and the most potent plant I have ever grown. Cheese had big Mag deficiencies and thrips during the flowering which impacted the growth and still she grew big and strong. She smells amazing and has alot of frost all over her, buds are dense, its like squeezing an orange. Big thanks to everyone who supported and helped me during my hardships. Shout out to @Bulbi and others for just being nice people and just proving that growing community is just the best. Again, big thanks to all of you! On my next growth I will try to grow even bigger plants (next plants from Royal queen seeds: Royal Gorilla, Royal cookies, Amnesia Haze and Northern lights). See you soon!

Looking good! You can do all sorts of techniques, all genetics react differently, people always offer different advice. Best advice I've gotten is if you try a new technique just start with one plant.
Andrius
Andriuscommented6 years ago
Thanks for the tips and support! I was thinking of topping once to get it a bit smaller in height and for nicer shape for the plants, but first ill do it with one plant on the next grow and see how it goes. In which week/size would you do the topping for autos?
HylianGrass
HylianGrasscommented6 years ago
@Andrius, they react well to low stress technique you can top it once to manifold it but i would not do it more than one or two , 3 weeks of veg is very light to recover from a high stress technique but im no pro so take or leave it but keep it up👊🏻👍🏻
Andrius
Andriuscommented6 years ago
Thanks! Planing topping 1 plant on the next grow, just to see how autos react to it, have seen others do it. Now just need to wait to see how all the plants react to my defoliation.

Thanks! She went from the sickest plant to the biggest badest plant in the grow room
Andrius
Andriuscommentedweek 17 years ago
Hey, thanks, with my lights it is ok, had 5 grows that started at this height and never had any problems with leaves getting burned. I actually put them on some boxes to get it closer (around 50-60cm) in veg. For flowering with leds i usually kept 30cm diatance as was recomended on the box, but now im growing one plant (green crack) which got huge and decided ro test with the lamp to plant distance. So now it grows around 15 cm from the lamp and havent noticed any damage to it. So I believe that you can go closer to the plant with the led than what they recommend. But thats just what I have experienced over my few grows with leds. Let me know if you have any other questions

@Reaper, yeah, they get big and fat. If left unattended and untrained they can get pretty huge. But the buds are amazing, hits you like a truck and tastes amazing.

dude plants take a while to recover anyway - think a couple of weeks not days... for most of those leaves it will be too late anyway, bud will not be affected no worries
Andrius
Andriuscommented6 years ago
@CRiSPrGrow, yeah, i meant recover after flush, because the flushing might be stressfull as well otherwise you are completely right 🙂 I just want my plant to be as healthy as possible and it feels like I have Mag deficiencies visible on all plants. Thanks for the help mate!

Stick
Stickcommentedweek 66 years ago
Hi @Andrius! She needs Magnesium and Potassium. The yellowing between the veins tells us she's suffering from a Magnesium deficiency, and the brown edges/border looks like a Potassium deficiency, which is probably happening because the plant did start to stretch. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
Andrius
Andriuscommented6 years ago
Hey, thanks for the tip! After reading my book about weed problems I had the exact same thought about magnesium and potassium, but then i tried watering her with just plain water and she seemed to be recovering. Did defoliate her so cant see in the latest pictures. Also I changed the nutriens from grow to short flowering, so if the problem persists then I will try adding Mag-cal supplement. Thanks alot for the tips, every little bit of information is valuable to me, so I can grow as a grower

DudeGrowsWeed
DudeGrowsWeedcommentedweek 47 years ago
Looks like either PH issues or too much nutrients. I'd recommend a PH around 6.5 and cutting back on your nutrients to about 1/2 or 3/4 strength. That should help. Good luck 👍

TooStokedcommentedweek 17 years ago
hey bud. Nice grow setup. How have you found your growth with the lights at that distance. I currently have mine somewhere around 30" due to the recommendations on the package but I am worried about burning my seedlings. Any input?
Andrius
Andriuscommentedweek 47 years ago
i will test the ph of the soil today, and will go down on nutes as you said, I'm making 6.2-6.1ph in the feeding solution which works great with other plants. lets hope for the best, thanks!
the end.
