Worst timing to start. There was a frost advisory, outside temp got down to 45F///7.2C. Kept it next to the fridge heat output vent.

If anyone could help me figure out if I'm doing something wrong, I don't want to stunt it and the color on the leaf today looks weird. Local brand soil. (Recycled forest products, rice hulls, perlite, peat moss, composted chicken manure, bark fines, hydrolyzed feather meal, dehydrated chicken manure, worm castings, bat guano, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, oyster shell & dolomite limes (as pH adjusters) ) Tap water through carbon filter left to settle/warm to room temp. Just looked up the 2021 numbers, avg pH 9.2, avg CaCO3 37ppm, Sodium 12ppm, Hardness as CaCO3 34. I've tested with dye strips several times, pH seems to be around 7. I'm in soil so I thought it doesn't have to be perfect. Also added Myco+ (3-0-3 sugars/bugs) to my water. Last night I freaked out about the leaf coloration and used plain rain water to water hoping I'll figure out what's going on before I have to water again.

The coloration on my first leaves is worrying me. First grow. I really don't want to stunt her. G&B potting soil, filtered soft water, Myco+ in my water, 100w AC infinity Ionboard.

Looks like its getting a bit to cold for her. Temps below 16C/60F will cause stunting and hinder nutrition uptake.

Any specific direction I should tie it? Also is my bottom leaf good? It seems to be shriveling a bit, but the plant has been growing despite it. I'm calling it day 18 from sprout. Thanks in advance for any advice. Blimburn blackberry auto.

You could start some LST if you wish, you could also wait a week. Heres some quick reference links on how to LST, in short its gently tying branches/stems down. growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-lst-cannabis-a-simple-guide growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants Your bottom leaves look fine to me and i would not worry to much about it. FYI: We will not be notified of any reply or tag [@] in the questions part of the website, if you need to reach out with other information use your DM "direct mailbox" in the bottom right hand corner of the page. it looks like a little paper airplane icon. Best Of Luck!

I think I'm having a slight Calcium deficiency, so trying some CalMag. Possibly overwatering.

Definitely having a slight issue with one of them, burnt tips. I think it was/is a Ph problem, maybe potassium, calcium, magnesium deficiency. Accidently dropped my ph pen fully into water, new one on the way in a few days. Realized Maxsea is lacking mag and Calcium, so added 14ml/gal to come close to what Element Nutrients line recommends for flower transition.. Still trying to figure out how to maintain a good VPD.

Getting anxious about harvest time. Am I good with camera zoom, or loop is essential? I'm at day 69, don't think I see any amber, but almost all my hairs are orange. Any info on judging ripeness would be appreciated.

I would be harvesting now or very, very soon and I certainly would not be waiting another 2 weeks...........unless you want CBD dope that puts you to sleep. If you want to get high, harvest very soon.

Dumping some info here because I've neglected to update for a while. Home furnace broke and it's cold af in California atm, so I switched to 24 hour light to keep the temperature steady between 68-72F. Took some time to clean my clip fan. Should have done that sooner... Stopped all cal mag a little over a week ago. Pretty sure I used way too much (of everything) during this grow, I'd like to avoid that next run. Feeding with progressively less EC 3-20-20 and a pinch of Epsom salts. Some bottom leaves started to senesce over the past 3 days. I'm thinking wait to see some amber on tops, then chop whole plant to hang. I'll use the slightly less developed stuff for edibles. Planning to hang dry in my tent, so whole plant chop is just easier I think. Very open to experienced opinions though.

Looking great! Good luck on your first grow 🌱💨

Hey, looking good. Is this an auto flower strain? I'm no pro but I believe you might want to remove some of the bigger leaves to help airflow and let the light reach the nodes better. Just don't overdo it and place out the plucking over time, not all at once. I have seen real success with this method. Good luck 🤞

Nomorebushcommented2 years ago
@JarJarGreens, Yes of course, it's always best to do your own research. Okay, I tried to find it but no luck so probably it's brand-new, hopefully it's a good strain for you! I picked the one with lots of reviews because I wanted to a well-known strain but I also paid for it so 😄 I've sent you a message in the chat fyi

@Nomorebush Thank you! Yeah I've been really thinking about defoliating some. I'll probably do some research today and get on with a little of that. And yeah, it was a freebie I got with my order from NASC, Blimburn Blackberry Auto. Haven't had much luck finding a grow diary of someone else growing theirs, assuming it's a new one, but I think it's been pretty vigorous considering I've definitely made many mistakes and am learning as I go.
