Cada cuanto debo regarlas en esta época? He pensado en hacer fertilizante casero 5% agua oxigenada, 25% agua de piel de cebolla y 75% agua Normal, he mirado registros y el agua del grifo de mi ciudad esta bien en cuanto a ph y ppm, quizás algo de destilada no estaria mal, si?
Going to echo what GrowCN has said here... except to caution you not to overwater the plants... overwatering is the state of being constantly wet so no matter how much water you use, just make sure it dries out between waterings.
I'll also echo him with your homemade fertilizer... I can't see the benefit ... distilled water has ZERO anything in it.. H2O2 is good for adding aeration to the soil but provides no nutrients... and your plain tap water obviously has something in it since you say it's "fine" in terms of ppm - but what constitutes that ppm - and how do you increase it as the plant, when it grows, needs more and more of different nutrients? So that leaves us with your onion skins... Onion peels have a good amount of plant nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium and copper - but do you know how much of each? How would you adjust to the needs of a growing plant? How would you reduce, for example, the nitrogen and increase the phosphorous and potassium if needed?
For my money, I'd buy some organic nutes where all that guess work has been done for you and you can confidently feed and nuture your grow ... unless you really are a chemist and have a means of measuring the relative NPK composition of your onion peels...
Good luck!
Instalación rudimentaria, bastante básica incluso para un primer cultivo tonto, es mas que nada porque no he tenido que invertir absolutamente nada, los smart pot y las semillas fueron un regalo, compré 50L de sustrato Canna Profesional y la verdad es que estoy así por impaciente, sé que no es buena época ni tengo buena instalación, salga lo que salga contento estaré, cuando la temperatura exterior está entre 21 y 25º las saco al sol de la terraza, que suele dar al medio día //// Rudimentary installation, quite basic even for a silly first crop, it is more than anything because I have not had to invest absolutely nothing, the smart pot and the seeds were a gift, I bought 50L of Canna Profesional substrate and the truth is that I am so impatient, I know that it is not a good time nor do I have a good installation, whatever comes out happy I will, when the outside temperature is between 21 and 25o I take them out in the sun from the terrace, which usually gives at noon
Critical has grown a lot in a week, cookies has not, what leads me to think she could be auto-flowering because both have been in the same soil and the cookies literally born a couple of days earlier, same 8w white light but at 24h, is that all-right?
Everybody use to tell me to get better lights, fertiliser and in overall better set up but honestly i can not afford anything until next month, this is almost a trial, i know its going to be a shit, i just want to have a first contact
You can immediately improve your grow by getting that pH down! It's WAY too high, my friend... probably why your one girl is not doing well. Cannabis grows best with a pH of 6.0-6.5 .... not 8! And btw, I think what you've done for your set-up is absolutely marvelous. I converted an old funky closet into a "grow closet" by using some left over silver-faced insulation that was hanging about... didn't have enough of it so I used tin foil... whatever works! You're doing a great job - just get the pH down! Get some cheap strips that will at least get your pH in the ballpark ... and if you can't afford to get some pH-Down, use some baking soda but test the water/nutes for the pH before giving it to your ladies...
Im playing the album PLANTASIA 2-5 times a week, i have set down a bit the ph adding 15 ml of white vinegar every 4 L of water, with some onionpeel water and oxygen water, only once a week watering, the moisture is still there in the soil, very happy trying to do as much as i can until i can afford better, any suggestions?
15 ml aprox of wthite vinegar every 4 liter aprox of the water and lets see after this watering and the scrog installed who it goes
Update: have found that lemon juice acts the same as vinegar but as i water once a week i cannot see any diff yet
Finally I could afford a better light, ive bought a 50W LED and I installed it all alone by myself, electrical installation was pretty hard but i did it, reflector and tons of aluminium paper were added and iva bought some nutrients for the roots (deeper underground) and propolis for fungus protection, any suggestion guys?
Guys, i don’t know where is going to take me but this trip is being awesome, as i wanted, the critikal plant has grown in spiral and she is developing a lot of little new leaves, growing gorgeous but im a newbie, i don’t not if its fem or not until flowering I guess (?)
Cookies was growing superslow and i don’t know why i topped it but she is recovering now, might not grow because of then injury
I know this “advanced” training methods are gonna make the growing stage last another month at least for sure
I have improved moist levels by spraying them quite a few times daily, tap water with 1ml of propolis 5% every 0.5L and have turned the ph correct with some natural orange juice, a few drops use to be enough
I turn the heather on sometimes and it comes with fan so perf but im worried the most of the time they are with low airflow levels due to the fact i have not a proper space and they are in a corner of my room
La critical ha crecido bestialmente y miedo me da cuando la ponga en floración, de tres he pasado a 4 cordones atándola a diferentes partes de la maceta, como yo quería esta creciendo en espiral y preciosa, ojalá pudiera apreciarse bien, les han empezado a salir motas amarillas en las hojas viejas y entiendo que es problema de los nutrientes al principio del cultivo, cuando ni ajustaba el ph…
La cookies tiene dos ramotes rojos/rosas que tienen pintarda la verdad, no la he sometido a LST porque se ha quedado atrás en crecimiento, posiblemente por la genética supongo, aun así sí le hice corte apical y duplicó los nodos de la cabeza principal
No sé cuándo debo ponerlas a florecer (12/12) supongo que entre finales de este mes y el que viene, no sabía si son autoflorecientes o regulares, de hecho sigo sin saberlo, han tenido un periodo vegetativo rarísimo y si son regulares realmente puedo estirarlas hasta dos meses mas antes de florecer para intentar compensar la falta de luz al principio, tienen toda la pinta de hembras, díganme , que opinan?
They have duplicate the size and started to smell a bit, really good vibes about, great color on the leaves and nice looking
Any suggestions will be great!!
They are blooming!! Nice white hairs are showing off the centre and they have start creating a “budd”, I don’t really know since im a newbie but the leave colours are perfect, no excess or anything else shown since im watering with the correct PH
Both are truly beautiful, i think next time i will choose a single plant and treat it the beat i can, exposing her to anything i just learned here
I thought aswell that i could afford some “top candy” or “top bloom” but I don’t really know if it will improve a lot or if its worth the money
Better air flow during days due to new big fan working
Hi guys, i am a newbie so i need some advices
They have just started their 3rd week of bloom and I don’t know when is it supposed to be the beat time to start defoliating
I like to wait until thellant is done stretching, for sure, to defoliate. So, it's usually week 4-5, for me.
When I defoliate, I only remove leaves that cover buds. AND! This part is very important: lollipop BEFORE you defoliate leaves. Like someone else mentioned, taking off the tiny branches and buds that don't get much light will help the plant focus on buds that DO get plenty of light. This makes for bigger buds and less scurfy buds. If you lollipop right, you won't get any scurf at all!
Once you lollipop, then you defoliate.
If you want to talk more on this topic, feel free to message me on here by clicking the little airplane button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Yes. Perfect in the third week. Try to remove the lower branches that get no light or almost no light at all (Hold your hand inside to see if enough light comes through) .This way your plants don't waste unnecessary energy and produce bigger buds.
Happy growing!
Definitely don't do it. As GrowingGrannie said there should be a reason and there are mainly two of them to defoliate
1. To create airflows in bushy, mainly indica, strains to prevent mold (see my opium diary where leaves literally overlap into each other or stack layers because of tight spacing)
2. To provide light to buds shadowed by leaves
It seems that you can just tie these branches down to create an even canopy (LST) and this would be the best option. However you should also be careful because into flowering plant's stems become harder (they need to carry all these forming buds), so be gentle not to break it
Its been an amazing week, now i can understand why Carl Linneus was amazed about this miracle of blooming 🌸
Flowers are starting to grow everywhere, smell isn’t a big deal yet but my girls are just super beautiful 🤩
Colouring is homogeneous ☘️, only a single-couple of leaves showing a bit of nutrient deficiency/excess
Critical is becoming literally twice the size of the cookies growing laterally but cookie’s branches are fatter, stronger and harder 💪🏼
Its been a long way but im proud of myself, very pleasant experience, its my first indoor grow and its almost scary how much i have learned ✍️🏼
LST shows an amazing structure and definitely not training your plant its the biggest mistake you can make 🏋️♂️
Unintentionally i applied a light cropping and the branches made the bulbs expected, don’t really know if it will show any gains
One of my beauties is showing for the first time a nutrient issue, a couple of leaves are showing yellow colouring, the very rest of the plant is homogeneous deep green so i assume she is almost fine, but i really want to listen to her and care, I think it could be nitrogen def
I think I see what it is you're worried about - but I don't think it's very much to worry about! Except for one or two leaves that have some markings on them (the marks may have been caused by liquid spilling on them and then slightly burning the leaves under your light?), I don't see anything wrong with this grow.
I know you struggle for the money to do the best by your plants and if you had the money, you would get a better light perhaps or improve other conditions - but you don't have the money and you're doing the very best you can and you're having a very successful grow! I applaud you!! As they say, "where there's the will, there's a way" and you've found the way because you have the will. You are an inspiration, seriously! Do not worry unnecessarily here - there's really nothing to worry about! Good luck the rest of the way.
This time i just forgot to take pics at the cookies fem, maybe tomorrow ill add a few, it’s almost the same but half the size the critical fem, she has darker leaves and shorter pistils
Otherwise my teenager critical is really showing off!! I was not sure about her because my cookies smoking experience was lovely but smoking crit felt like less quality, lets see how she develops!
Rn she is super beautiful im even finding her attractive, deffo if i were a male cannabis i would polinize her, but daddy says no way so keep developing that looong pistils babe!!
What do you think about her?
Intense week
Im trying OG Nutrients
Og bloom, bloom plantastic, bloom booster and PK 52/34
They are fattering buds, up steems are red, probably because of light burning, even being a 50w led light, I don’t know if that will be a bigger issue after or just purple colouring due to indicas strains and winter low temperatures, please share your thoughts
They look healthy as i see, people tell me that there is not enough light, there is too much light, not enough air flow, too much air flow… im just overwhelmed with suggestions, al most everyone says a different thing
As always thank you for reading and im open to every comment and suggestions!!
Today, first of two waterings a week, i saw this little buddies and i don't know if these are good or bad guys
If these are good guys then there is no problem i guess
If these are bad guys just tell me how to kill them all without harming my ladys or my lungs, please
It looks like there's more then one bug here. The tiny little guys hauling ass across the top soil and towards the bottom right there is larvae burrowing
I can't tell by the pic. If your in living soil and they are springtails that is awesome. If it's a plant loving mite and not a predatory species (good mites) I hit em with water/peroxide at 3:1 parts and make sure the top inch or so of your soilstays dry sp they can't breed.
Buds keep fattening up more and more, this should be the amazing phenomenon Carl Linneus talked about
Flowers are getting enormous, gross, monster buds, everyone told me i had not enough light, not enough air flow, not enough badabee badaba but honestly i see them right, beautiful and healthy
Please, SUGGEST ME anything you can think about and ill try to improve it
Big improvement with the custom tent
Gyal are showing real snow on top of the bud
Really excited with this week, seems like another week only water and sugars and they’ll be done
How do they look growmies?!
Thanks for reading and good smokes for everyone!! 🖖🏼
Hello guys!! Trip is closely going to end and it was the first and by the time the best trip of my life, cannaculture its amazing
Next step: chop
19 February;
Last weekend i added just the “bloom plantastic” wich is organic and only sugars, this week ladys haven’t seen a drop of water, im gonna pour clean could water on the soil 2/3 hours before harvesting to calm the thirst and make the buds go heavier
I have been reducing photoperiod this week, 15 minutes every 2 days, rn 11/13 hours, winter is coming and im just letting her now she has to be quick and use the last single drop of food
It seems like the critical its on point, looks like in her peak of THC, haven’t seen orange trichomes, just milky ones but 90% of pistils are orange so i think im gonna chop her tonight, at 4:20 😜
Probably ill let the cookies a few days to mature correctly but im afraid if i wait longer for the critical i could regret it
What do you think about? Was this diary a good experience to follow?
Personally i enjoyed it to the maximum and thank you everyone that has come with me through this
Guys, my lady has become a milf, 90% pistils orange, 100% milky trichomes but still haven’t seen orange trichomes, i was scheduled to harvest tonight, exactly before sunrise, am i right or should i still wait a couple of days?
Well if she's a 100 cloudy.. then yes. Chop, chop, chop.
She's more than done buddy
I'd leave her to dark rest for 36-48hrs. This will increase resin
In future. 90-95 cloudy trichs are good. And pistils 30-50 amber and that's the window. But, regardless she'll be fine
Hang dry at a max of 18c and RH between 55-60 to stop and shrinkage of bud and to stop any unwanted hay smell if your temp exceeds these aswel as the RH is below 50%.
Good luck.
Enjoy your mild
First experience, low budget set up, poor product as expected i wanted to try and flavor profile was nice, produce a sleepy effect as i intended but buds are not hard or dense, as i expected…
