I am really loving this Gelato still looking healthy as ever! Still no added nutes, which she don't look hungry and still eating off of the soil which is (coast of Maine growers mix) which I think has been fantastic so far! Please feel free to let a rookie grower know if you see something I'm missing or suggestions! Thanks and happy growing!

Growing fastbuds Gelato, was wondering when i should start using cal mag? I'm using coast of Maine growers mix for soil and on day 23. Haven't added any nutes or cal mag as she has been eating from what's in the soil. Using fox farm nutes when I do start! Thanks in advance!

Normally, your soil and your nutes should provide the calcium the plant needs... the only time you would need to add calmag is if you start to see a calcium deficiency (small yellow/brown spots) which is NOT caused by either a nitrogen toxicity or a pH level that's not good (pH should be between 6.0 and 6.5 in soil). If a deficiency is caused by either of those two conditions, you can throw an entire bottle of calmag at the plant and it won't be able to get at it. Having calmag on hand is always a good thing but avoiding a calcium deficiency in the first place is best. So keep your pH in that range and, when you start the nutes, go really slowly. I've used FF in the past and have always had trouble with their Grow Big - always end up with a nitrogen toxicity... so start that particular nute out at 1/4 strength... and, given that you're probably not going to be starting nutes until next week (?), I would keep Grow Big at 1/4 strength for the entire grow. If, as I suspect, you're going to intro nutes next week, you can also add about 1/2 strength Big Bloom as she should be entering pre-flower by that time and it's a good idea to get her ready for flower - besides, it doesn't hurt anything. But save the Calmag in case you need it... Good luck!

So I'm growing in coast of Maine growers mix. I am on day 31 with no added nutes. Been thriving on what is pre mixed in soil already. But my question is this morning I notice the very tips of the leaves turning a yellow/brown color. Can someone please inform me what this could be

It’s time to feed. She is low on Nitrogen (lanky stature). Brown tips - K deficiency, discoloured interveins - Mg deficiency (often in mix with Ca). If you see brown spots on leaves soon, that’s Ca deficiency which means you are already 3 weeks late, because Ca deficiency is not visible for first three weeks. So just feed her :)

She looks terribly dry ... are you making sure the soil is completely moistened when you water? You should have a little bit of a runoff when you water... let the pot sit in that runoff for 5 or 10 minutes - if it is absorbed back up into the pot, water some more.. keep doing that until the pot no longer takes up the runoff and then pitch the runoff as you don't want your plant to have wet feet all the time. Good luck...

Top leaves skinny and bending down could this be from heat stress? Started marshydro at 25% slowly moving it up to where I'm at now which is 50%

Could be... could also be from needing more water... I would raise your lights another couple of inches though, just to be on the safe side - don't want to be burning those flowers! Good luck....

No, this isn't normal but I think it relates to the amount of water you're giving her - which probably isn't enough... And I hope, after giving her a "light" feeding, you've increased the nutes she's getting? She's needing some bloom nutes now along with about 1/2 strength grow nutes... Good luck!

How come you stopped doing the LST you started?

@Banana_Chief, I see! It is a shame it was looking effective. You will quickly gain experience and knowledge even after one grow - your passion wont wane, but your anxiety should. I am also new to Cannabis growing, everyday I learn more.

My g you have the space to spread thos baby out and you sure you in week 7 or is this just your 7th update on this diary? For a fastbuds its growing well but for week 7 its still in early early flower. Best you could do is spread out some outer branches right away. Easy method to do is take a wooden plank 1 meter tall and at least 25cm width and put it on ghe ground under your pot. This way you could easily put some rope betweem each branch and attach it to the wood on the ground to spread your plant out like lst. It will increase your overal yield by a lot i mean at least 30 procent. Shes becomes a monster if you do so. Look at my gelato diaries i didnt grow big monsters but you can check out the lst i did. Easier method and still very good is take the wooden plank also but only take the main branch down as far as you could go, like a fishing rod tip does when you take in a big fish. And do this for 2 weeks ebery other day a little further as you can. You will see develop alot more buds this way.

@@Blubz, thanks for the advise. I'm still new to growing and still learning a lot. As far as the time period I'm sure it is what it says. The pics that I post each week on my diary has the exact day on them!
