1/17 - Entered Week 3 Today, Everything is going good so far. Just have been watering with fish tank water only. I have been adjusting plant ties so the light penetrates lower branches, in hopes of more tops. I have also been leaf tucking and adjusting lower branches over bigger leaves. #1 is growing at a pretty fast pace, faster then others, and is showing signs of multiple branches coming to top, #2 is doing good, I have been trying to get more light to lower branches, hopefully in the next few days will see progress, but overall it is growing at a good rate. #3 is doing alright, its growing at an okay pace, I started LST on it yesterday and have noticed branches emerging. #4 is still quite small, but growing at an alright rate, when it's a little taller will attempt LST. Overall, everything is going great! 1/18 - Yesterday I discovered white specks on leaves, did some research, one thing I found that could've been issue was my humidifier running tap water, I immediately cleaned out humidifier and filled with distilled water. After doing that did further inspection I saw a gnat in soil, only seen one so I killed him, turned off lights and fans, sprayed neem oil spray on soil and over plants very lightly, turned on fans , let dry for about 15mins and turned light back on. I did some research on neem oil and what I understood is that it's okay to use in veg but not quite flowering. Hoping this will be the last time using it, going to get sticky traps for future. Going to keep an eye on white specs and make sure they don't get worse, some wiped off but others didn't. #1 is starting to show pistil hairs. Everything still the same, added a very small amount of calmag to fish tank water in jug. 1/19 - Not to much to update , just have been filling humidifier, and watering. Tent is staying 80 degrees and 70% humidity VPD around .9-1. The white specks on leaves aren't going anywhere, but I don't notice any additional specks. 1/20 - Mid-day - Last night around midnight I started LST with #4, her lower branches looked like they had some growth so hopefully we get some good results with it. I've been adjusting canopy, bringing branches to open spots. Watered full pot today with just fish tank water, pot was a bit dry. Ordered Branch benders and Trellis net last night hopefully it comes just in time. 1/21 - Received Trellis net today, Going to attempt SCROG, This will be my first time attempting will see what the results will be and if it's helpful, If you have any tips or suggestions let me know. I put around 4inches above canopy's, so hopefully in a few days will get to toggle with branches. Tomorrow, I have adjustable, and 90 degree branch benders coming in, will be testing those out also. Everything is going smoothly so far. Thank you for all the support, and if any questions or suggestions feel free to drop below. 1/23 - Feeling bad that I missed a day of documenting, but did receive LST clips yesterday and I'm absolutely loving them. Even though they are on the cheaper end, they still seem to get the job done. Plants haven't met Trellis net yet, but hopefully in a few days #1 will start getting ready to train on SCROG. I'm very excited for week 4 and really can't wait for what it's going to bring. Also, while writing this, I did have some sad news, While attempting to LST a smaller branch, I accidently got to rough, and it broke off, my first lesson. Since then, I've been being a lot more careful with these girls knowing they are about to enter flower. Thank you so much for the support, Check out my Instagram for daily uploads, Check Bio πŸ’ͺ Will follow you back πŸ‘Š

When would be the best time to set up Trellis Net? I also did a little research on it, read that it's a difference between Trellis, and SCROG, I'm thinking I'm wanting to do SCROG, to be able to keep training plants. If you have more information on this let me know 😁 Thank you!

Hey there friend. I'm no master grower but I'll try to give you as much info as possible on what I like doing when I SCROG. Note that the majority of this applies to photoperiod plants. I'll get to autoflowers towards the end :D. Its important to distinguish between the two main uses of a trellis or SCROG net for indoor growing. 1. The trellis/scrog net is used as a way to train the plants branches so you can achieve a nice even canopy in your tent. The light distribution becomes more even and you get a canopy full of nice buds instead of the typical dominant cola you see in grows without any training. 2. The trellis/scrog net is used to support the larger buds from falling over in late flower. Personally (for photoperiods) I like to put my trellis up minimum 2 weeks before I flip to flower. This gives me time to train the branches underneath the net and get a good even canopy before the stretch of early flower. SCROGGING really makes a difference in yield and quality compared to not training the plant at all so you want to make sure that you're actually tucking tops underneath the net when they get too tall. Its really going to come down to personal preference but I think the two week minimum is a good start. After I SCROG for two weeks (and am happy with how my canopy looks) I will flip the plants into flower. During this time the plants enter into their stretch phase. At this point I will cease training the branches under the first SCROG net as the branches become brittle and less flexible and I don't want to break my stems. I prefer to just allow the plant do its stretch, however if your genetics allow for it you can still train the plant under the same net in the first few weeks for flower without issue unless you are working with autoflowers. Around mid-late flower if I feel like the buds are becoming too heavy and are at risk of falling over I will put another SCROG net up just to support the buds. Its important to note that I'm not looking to train the colas under the second scrog, I only want to stop them from falling over. Generally autoflowers however are a different story. Since autoflowers typically flower very fast, the time window you have to SCROG is much shorter. I find that the branches on autoflowers will become brittle very fast as they flower very fast and there is a risk of breaking your stems. That means that if you want to SCROG your autoflower, you should probably do it very early in its life, probably around week 2-3. This can be difficult however because of how small the plant is. Therefore I suggest you just continue to Low Stress Train as LST achieves a similar result to scrogging anyways. If you want to take a look at my recent Mephisto's Wedding auto diary you'll see in week 5 (first week of flower) I accidentally snapped my main stem trying to SCROG. This is the danger with trying to scrog an auto although I will say its still doable (but not as effective due to the short time below the net). I really hate having to LST so the logic at the time was that I would be able to achieve a more even canopy without having to LST by just tucking branches underneath the net. It looks like your autos are trained relatively well and you shouldn't need a SCROG net, however I encourage you to still use one if you really want. I'm not sure how much you'll be able to open the plant up at this point with the net but again if you want to do it, do it. As long as you don't break stems there is nothing to worry about. Finally just some thoughts I have in no particular order. - Thinking about getting disposable rope SCROG nets because harvesting plants underneath a net that you can't just cut away is cumbersome and annoying. - SCROG nets are pretty good for hang drying your plants in the same tent. - If you use your SCROG net to dry, make sure you tie each corner to the top bars of the tent to prevent your net from sliding all the way down to the ground due to the weight of the buds. I like to use metal plant ties. - Your branches are going to look mangled and messed up when you tuck them under the net but they usually recover in a day or two. - Keep in mind that once SCROGGED, you will not be able to move or rotate your plants in your tent as the branches are caught up in the net. - LST pairs well with scrogging. - I've seen some people only use 1 scrog net and some people use multiple scrog nets, all with good results. I wish that you find my post helpful and I hope that this answer wasn't too all over the place. Like I said I'm no master so you should definitely look for more opinions. Your grow looks great so far and I hope you crush it friend. πŸ’ͺ Happy growing πŸ˜€

The first photo is showing the beginnings of a phosphorus deficiency.... second photo shows a calcium deficiency (and the two often show up together). These ladies are now at the age where they need to have more than fish tank water... get them on a good grow nute as well as calmag. Looking through your diary and your notes, if you've got an insect problem (which is sounds like you do), you need to tackle it before it becomes a really bad infestation. The neem oil MIGHT help but in my experience is fairly ineffective especially since it doesn't get at the eggs and larvae of whatever insect you're battling... and, as you rightly point out, you shouldn't use it when the plant is in flower... If you've got white spots on your leaves, it's likely you've got either thrips, aphids, spider mites or whiteflies and you can catch SOME of the adults on those sticky papers - but you won't catch all of them and you won't be addressing the eggs or larvae. I would suggest grabbing some Dr. Zymes Eliminator or some Spinosad and using as directed. Both are organic, both will kill all stages of an insect's life cycle and both can be used at any stage of the plant's development right up to harvest if need be without affecting the buds or the taste. Addressing the problem NOW while the plant is still young and easy to work with will be far preferable to having to deal with it later when you've got a jungle in your tent - you have to spray the tops and bottoms of ALL leaves... you see my point here... The only flying insect this stuff won't work on is fungus gnats... those actually live in the soil and they don't suck on the leaves at all so that's not what you're dealing with anyway... Good luck - get some NPK nutes into her along with some calmag and DO deal with those insects now before the job gets exponentially harder!

I'm curious about your fish tank water. Can you post a pic of it? How large is the aquarium and what fish do you have? It would be cool to do a full on outdoor self contained aquaponics system.

Aye mate looking good, lst started at the best time imo get it done early, get monster plants. Been thinking of doing northern lights just don't know which breeder to go with lol.

@Seed2WeedYT, don't worry about snaps, I don't go through a grow without snapping something, deliberately mostly sometimes tho it happens with lst. Looks good so far. It will respond every few days, a new branch will become the "top" branch, just keep tying those new branches down the same way, it's rather repetitive but worth it in the end.

Hey bud, do u always run a 24 sched? What differences do you notice? I was gonna give it a shot but wanted to get a baseline on a few normal 18/6 grows, this way I can compare when I try a 24. Would love any feedback. Keep up the good work!

@greenAF, Hey Growmie, Thanks for checking me out. My very first grow I did 24/0 and I experienced very good results, could've been soil mix idk. My previous grow I've done 18/6, no issues, just me personally I feel I've got better results with Autos on 24/0. But I'm still learning, so if you do end up doing 18/6 let me know your results! I will keep an eye out for your diary. Sorry, if I didn't answer your question good enough. Good luck w/ your grow, Happy Growing πŸ’ͺ
