7 Oct. Hoping both seed will germinate.
11 Oct. So they both germinated yesterday , but I think I've looked too much under the towel and it maybe has stunt the Jack Herer. I planted it anyway. The Gelato germinated and seems happy to be in soil from this morning.
Note for next grow: germinate direct in substract as I do with tomato or pepper. Days one is when it sprouts from soil.
Day 1, 11 Oct. So they both germinated yesterday , but I think I've looked too much under the towel and it maybe has stunt the Jack Herer. I planted it anyway. The Gelato germinated and seems happy to be in soil from this morning.
12 Oct. There was a thin skin holding the cotylédon together. Had to humidify and peel from bottom to top. Waiting another day before declaring that the Jack Herer is dead.
14 Oct. Ok so the Jack Herer is dead, long life to Gege!
Day 8, 18 Oct.
Moving plant half way between my cobs and my fluos. 18000 lux
Day 9, moved completely under cobs.
D12, Discovered the app PPFD Meter on playstore. Very practical to optimize distance between lamp and plant.
D14 Just receive my nutes, so I gave 500ml with half suggested concentration. My first time using nutes other than 20-20-20 for veg and 15-30-15 for flower. Will be tring Remo nutes, the mini kit.
D16, I remarked that leafs are a little bit twisted. So I raised the light from 300 PPFD to 250PPFD(30 to 36'') thinking she was maybe having too much light. I also think she is growing slower than i'm used to. I have the impression that internodes seem close to each other but it is still early.
D19, I finally google it (leaf twist) and it seem's it can be a PH issue. So I check, with my freshly bought PH meter, the PH of my settle down water and it is much higher then I tought to my surprise at 8.1 . When I added my nutes, it falled to 6.7 . On Remo's nutrients site they suggest a PH between 5.8 and 6.5 . I am just a bit over that and wonder if this can cause the leafs twist. It is still benin but let's see. So I lowered my solution PH with a couple of drops(0.25mL) of double concentration vinegar to 6.3 . I fed her with a whole liter with all nutes concentration at 2mL/L this morning and we'll see what happen in the coming days. I'll wait a day or 2 before lowering light. I also reduce exposition to wind from oscillating fan in case.
D20, Today I realise that the humidity in tent was lower than I tough. I elavated from earth the hygrometer an saw it at 42% instead of 64% when deposit on soil. I added a humificater and setup it at 58%. I added another hygrometer in middle of tent to double check.
D21, raised humidity to 65% and raised the light to 38 inch.
D23 fed with 1 liter at 2mL/L of nutes and 5.9PH this morning. Top of soil was dry. It took 3 days to dry from last feed.
Raising the light, ajusting humidity didn't stop leaf curl at the edge of leaf so I lowered PH again from 6.3 to 5.9 . I'm having the feeling it is really slow to grow compare to others grower and my outside grow. Anyway, it's my first time at indoor growing for weed. Still getting accustom to my light, grow setup, adjusting PH and humidity level. I have found a feed chart for remo's nutrient on fastbud site and I may try that one next time instead of the remo one because it look specialise for autoflower. I also look at diary of champion and they seem to put less nute or be more progreessive than the chart of remo's site.
Came back from work and she took half an inch, so I decide to start LST.
D25 yesterday evening I added a reflector and this morning a saw sign of burn at tip of some leaf. So took out the reflector... I'm begening to find this grow tough 😕. I'm thinking that I was too fast to lower my light when younger and maybe my nutes are too concentrate. Next feed will only be PHed water. For the light, it is still at 250 ppfd. When I compare with others grow I look to be in the second week but I'm at the forth...
D26 this morning she show leaf curling so I raised the light to 230 ppfd.
D32, She seems to grow a little bit faster. This morning I gave her 300mL of PHed water. Last time I fed her was D23. I was letting drying soil because I tought maybe I fed too much last time. Pot was very long to dry in bottom center. Border of leaf look a little bit pale so I tought maybe she need a bit water so I tried to only fed the top of soil. Another day, another stuff to try. I also started 2 tomato plant to see if the soil is maybe the culprit and aslo for tomato!
D33 Just got a heat controller so I raised the temps to 27C this morning to see if she likes it.
Oh, wow, I think I found what was missing, some heat. I'm gonna wait till tommorow to really believe it but she seem to have stretch today.
D34 She really look to like the heat. I am starting to be positive for this grow. Let's see if she bounce back. She still curve a little bit the edge of older leaves. Ppfd around 250.
D35 it's going well.
D36 15 Nov. Today I raised my fabric pot and forcing air flow under the bag to help it dry. I'll try another time to let her dry. I hope to avoid root rot. If she continu to act up when flowering, I'll reboot the project with new soil, with maybe some promix HP.
D39 soil was dry this morning so I fed her with around 400 mL.
Hi, I'm having a curling leaf problem. Only the tip of the older leaves curl. Someone has an idea or suggestions? Water Ph 6.3, room temps 80.5F, humidity 65 to 70%, PPFD 250, potting soil.
Thanks guys, At one point I did gave her a whole liter with nutes and since then I wasn't able to dry completly the pot. There seem to be a spot that wont dry in center bottom even after 8 day of not watering. Should I transplant it in new soil or it's too late? I try to irrigate it close to the contour with 300ml at 2, 3 days interval to not over feed. For my next grow I'll maybe add perlite or try promix HP and be more gradual in watering.
Your temp are ok and the light distance is not too close. There is few reason leaves curl :
- This plant was grown in muddy soil, and the curling, unhealthy leaves will be getting worse and worse over time and you might have root rot
- Heat Stress If plants are experiencing a lot of heat, it can make leaves droop and/or curl. Some strains can handle a lot of heat, while other strains tend to droop when it gets warm

D51 Ouf, it's been a while since I had time to post. Last week I got sick to the point I could'nt move from my bed for 2,3 days. My plant missed water and also the humidifier. There was no damage thought. She has began to put her sexy suite for me. She is showing her sexy pistil. Old leaf are still slowly curling. I rented a par meter to compare to my phone par meter app(ppfd meter) but students played with calibration and I have to verify some stuff that the company showed me. I have to wait for a sunny day to verify value. I'll then be able to, or not, corralate with my phone. I'll know then if my light is too close or I'll have a better Idea.
D53 So today I rearranged the setup. I added a filter and a fan. I also made a recirculation config so I don't lose too much heat and humidity. Limited the air entry so tent is in negative pressure.
Also, plant was rotated and I made some lst.
I fed her for the first time in 5 weeks at a quarter dose.
D59 this morning I gave her for the first time 2L of water. Also these last days I lowered the light. She seems to be taking it.
D60 I lowered again the light this morning. Plant have around 530 PPFD. I also watered 2L oh PH 7.3. I want to see if higher PH will stop leaf curl. I've been closening the light since 1 or 2 weeks and it did'nt change a thing for leaf curl, so I'm trying other stuff. I also played wuth temps with no change. The lowest temps I chan acheive with light on is 23.7C .
D61 I lowered the light again at 580,600 PPFD. I also change my hooks and weight of LST for something less apparent or more Christmas.
D63 She's been fed twice 1L in 2 days at PH6. 5 and at eighth of fertiliser dose and she is doing great. The light is now at 17.5" around 600 to 700 PPFD and she seem to take it well. I think it will be the sweet spot for the moment as it cover my 2' x 2' without too much variation.
I surfed diaries yesterday and found a couple of Gelato with the same leaf tip curl as me and they went trough flower with some good results. It's encouraging.
D64 13 déc.
D65 Fed 2L at 1/8 dose of ferts this morning. She is going good this evening, no sign of overwater. This morning I lift up the lamp for the first time so that plant stay at 17.5in. She looks to be streching!
D67 Again fed 2L at 1/8 dose of ferts this morning. She is doing great, better than ever! Had to lift the light. The tops grow close to 1" per day!
For the height of the plant I use the length of the main stem for now. Average height of all top is 11.5"
D69 Big day today. First, I fed Gege 2L at 1/4 the recommend ferts dose. I reconfigured the setup to add a new plant(Auto Gelato, alias Ginette) and two new tomato(floragoldbasket) and basilic. I changed the soil for new plant for Promix HP and for tomato promix premium. For the tomato, I want to see if in this new soil they will thrive more. I had difficulties with my last tomato and also I found that Gege was really slow at growing and one of the thing I could'nt test, is a new soil, so here is the start of this test. Except for Ginette it will be promix HP for more aeration and more control over feeding. I'll update pictures a little later today.
D71 Fed 1.5L at 1/4 recommend dose but added micro at 3/8 dose to try to give a little bit more nitrogen because of general green yellow apparence.
D72 Fed Gege 2L with 1/4 nutes dose. I added a little bit more of micro and magnifical to slow down yellowing. I feel she take better 1.5L than 2L sor for next feed it will be 1.5L.
D75 Fed 1.75L with 1/2 nutes dose.
D77 Fed 1.75L at 1/2 dose of nutes. Im starting to see orange pistils. I guess she has around 1 or 2 week left. We'll see. Buds are getting fatter :)
D81 So I was out for 2 days for christmas. Had a friend who took care of feeding. Today I fed Gege 2L at 100% recommend dose for autoflower(0.75mL/L). Buds are getting a little purple. I think it's a defiency of phosphore as my past feeding where underfeed in concentration. Pistils are turning orange so i guest maybe one week or two left before chop chop! I'll wait onather feed before flushing.
D82 so another fed of 2L at 100%.
D84, 3 Jan. So this morning I fed Gege with 1.5L at 100% dose of nutes for autos. I Think it will be the last feed with nutes. We'll see if there is alot of new white pistils. When I open the tent, the smell is coming out. Buds are smelling very lemony, hmmmmmmmmm. Getting anxious to taste her!
D86 Gege had 1.5L with only natures candy nute. I think choping her tommorow or in 2,3 days. She smell so good! Buds are not that big, but they are beautiful and compact. This is mostly my fault as I'm still in early stage of learning and applying to my setup! Next grow is going to be monstruous!! I hope..... :)
D87 Mmmm still thinking if I should chop. I don't see amber thricome and I've still have a lot of white hair. We'll see in 2, 3 days again. She was long to vege so I'll let her some more time.
D88 So, again 1.5L with candy nutes. No amber thricoms 😬
Oh, I recheck de spec of the strain and it says 8weeks so I still need to be very patient. I've stop prematurely the nutes. I'll maybe give her a couples a shot next feeds. I see alot of people chopping in 6 weeks so that's why I had that time range in head.
D90 Gege was fed 1.625L this morning with nutes at dose for autoflower at 0.75mL/L. She smell so good. I think it's the nicest odor I had a chance to smell on a weed plant.
For the 2 first week it was fine. Then I think I gave too much nutes. Then with the leaf curls I started experiment stuff. I tought I overwatered her so I let her dry for at least a whole week. After that I was afraid to feed her so I gave her less water and nutes. I also back off light a lot. With all that, she growed slowly and I never was able to eliminate leaf curl. With a lot of looking at others grow, I remarked that it wasn't uncommon too have leaf curl for all the grow. Anyway, learned a lot and I'm more prepare for next grow. I'm more aware of my setup and nutes and water feeding. Next grow is gonna be awesome😉.
Harvest went we'll, not a lot to trim. Buds have nice colors, lots of thricome and are very dense. Smell is lemon and sugar, almost kinda 7up. Very pleasant. 169g of wet bud with some branches. Tent is set to 60% humidity to slowly dry my precious. I'll update the dry weight, buzz and taste in a couple of weeks.
