I'm alternating the nutrients. One time I put only water and the other time with nutrients.
I'm watering twice a week.
Plants are looking good. I'm not sure if I am over watering because they look like it...
This week the plants have grown very well. They look strong.
I'm hoping to turn them in flowering mode in the next couple of days so it doesn't get too tall.
So last week of vegetative state.
I had a major issue here. I have left 5 days without watering and I think the plants were just burned...
Pictures are scary because I have defoliate them before taking the picture as I'm going to put them in flowering...
So really bad here. I hope they can recover.
It is amazing how it turned out so bad in 5 days...
Picture taken just before I leave
I left for holiday.
I have put an automatic watering system for when I'm not there.
The plants were not looking good when I left so we will see what's next.
Picture after I came back more than a week.
I had a major issue when I was back. The plants were over watered a lot.
It was a mess with water every where in the tent. Looks like I have put the auto watering system with too much water.
Pictures are after I have cleaned it up.
Anyway they are not dead... And they look better than before I left.
Hopefully this weed is strong !
So it looks better however my soil is really wet since my mega over watering issue.
I have defoliate a lot one plant and just a little the other one.
The 2 on the back I'm not touching them to see the differences.
I have broke my humidity and temp tester so I'm kind of blind with that.
So I have put a new humidity and temp checker and well my humidity was way too high, no wonder why my soil was not drying... It was a 80 % when it should be between 40 to 50 %...
I have now put a dehumidifier and after 3 days I am back to normal value.
Plants still looks ok any but seems the bud are developing kind of slowly. But that's my first try so I can't really compare anyway.
I am still happy with the way it looks and I think I am back on track.
I will now be super careful to make sure I do not run into new issues.
Now wait for next week because I'm now real time here.
Overall it looks good. The buds are growing slowly and seems to get thicker weeks after week.
On concern is that some of the bottom leaves on the three plants are turning yellow.
Some bottom leaves of my three plants are turning yellow, it looks to me that they don't have enough nitrogen.
I have tried to double biobizz nutriment the last two times I have watered them but it doens't seems to make any difference.
What can cause this issue ? Thank you
needs more nitrogen or senescence.. if it continues to progress upward, you need more nitrogen. if it is isolated to shielded, lower leaves, then you can ignore it.
This looks more like a nitrogen deficiency, because i see paling leaves creeping upward on the plant.
pH could be causing it, but in those cases you usually see more than 1 symptom displayed. This looks like N-def 95%. check you pH. Make sure it is somewhere 5.8-6.8 range. "They" often say a plantn does not need N in bloom, but "they" are wrong. Every cell produced needs N as a building block even in bloom. i've never needed to drop N more than 5-10% from vege to bloom and i track ppm mixed of every molecules every feed. I'm faily familiar with safe ranges that work for all of them, relative to my hard water, of which npk is not augmented by hard water like Ca/Mg/S is, so the safe zones of npk are translateble to other gardens.
So, maybe take the fertilizer component with the most N with least impact on other things and bump it 5-10%, then wait and see how that goes. Don't have a major reaction... slow and steady wins the race.
Another week. My plants still looks ok.
I have increased the biogrow to get more nitrogen I still suspect my plants are missing some.
The plant number 1 still have yellow leaves. Let see if the increase in nitrogen helps.
Another week here, getting closer and closer and I'm really happy as it looks all fine.
I have reduce the nitrogene has it seems better now and anyway I hope to have it ready in about 3 weeks so it is not a problem if some leaves are getting yellow.
Still growing. It all looks good to me. Pistils are turning brown slowly.
It is now flowering for about 8 weeks not sure how long it will take to have almost all pistils turning brown.
Today was my last day using nutrients. I will use only water until the harvest.
Another week past.
I have stop the nutrients and only watering them twice in a week.
I still have some white pistils but it is getting better and better.
I guess that's the moment our patience is tested.
I have withdraw one hour of light let see if that helps.
First grow so I'm now wondering if this is time to harvest.
I still see some white pistils and I haven't spot any amber trichomes looks cloudy to me
However it looks like I have new pistils growing... Is that possible ?
I do not want a couch lock feeling after smoking.
Thanks
If you don't want couchlock and prefer a brain bending head high, harvest now.
Mostly cloudy = peak THC = head high.
Amber = CBD = couchlock.
Once your plants have 97-99% brown pistils, they are in the harvest zone for peak THC and maximum head high effect (mostly cloudy, few amber).
Once there are 100% brown pistils, the plant is close to dying, giving an inferior high with greater couchlock effect (more amber, less cloudy).
New pistils right at the end is normal, the plant is just giving one extra last push to get pregnant/seeded.
Going to 11/13 can stop the flush of new pistils (as a reference for future grows with photoperiod grows).
Congratulations for not falling into the autoflower trap and growing superior in every way, photoperiod plants!
It is time to enjoy the fruits of your labors!
Well here we are !
Really happy with this grow.
That was a nice ride.
Harvesting, well that takes quiet a lot of time...
1 week of drying hanging upside down in the dark. Was around 55 % of humidity, that's difficult to keep the correct humidity when your lamp is off.
Then triming of buds is a long process.
I have finally finish to trim all the bud and what a result, 94g of nice weed !
Now some time off and I hope to get a new diary soon.
Thanks to everyone for the comments and the support over this journey.
Happy growing to everyone !
@Stupenico, I am fine thanks. Try to figuring out which variety should I grow next round as Humboldt’s Blue Dream is only available somewhere in may.🌞 I know that coffeeshop at Harlemmerstraat, small but always great choice of there own strains.
I think I am gonna go for Tangerine Dream. Thanks for the info.
Have a lovely weekend mate.😎👊
@Qutro, Hi there doing good and you ? In terms of smell, I like it. It reminds me the one I used to smoke in Amsterdam at barney's haarlemmerstraat . For the terpenes I cannot say. I'm not familiar with this.
Anyway this was my prefered weed few years ago and I enjoy it now.
@Stupenico, hi man,
How are you doing? Can I ask you after a proper cure how are the terps and smell on this strain. I am planning to grow her next time.
Cheers🌱🌞
