smower 1 week has passed in excitement, 3 out of 4 seeds sprouted on the 2nd day, but Laughing Buddha got stuck and only popped up on the 5th day. All the sprouts were planted in 200 ml plastic cups.

smower Day 30 On this day, I finally stumbled upon this resource and decided to start a diary. From now on, the photos will be up to date. Critical Kush - is suffering from some issues, all thin and weak, I suspect there might be problems with the root system. I would appreciate any advice and thoughts. Amnesia Lemon - is shooting up beautifully and powerfully. However, there are some yellow tips on the upper leaves. Moby Dick - has also grown tall. Laughing Buddha - despite the difficulties with germination, is growing quite well in the end. Amnesia Lemon and Moby Dick have undergone some serious fimming and LST. UPD On the advice of professional growers, I'm trying to raise the pH in the pot with Critical Kush. The only thing I have available is baking soda (NaHCO3) 🙏 I hope the Na doesn't kill my girl. 🙏 Day 31 - - Today, I will subject Laughing Buddha to LST and fimming. - I fixed the branches on Amnesia Lemon and Moby Dick. - For easier observation, I trimmed the sick leaves from Critical Kush and carefully stretched the branches to increase the light absorption area, we'll see... Day 32 - Critical Kush looks alive, but upon closer inspection, the leaves are still dying, I continue to observe. - The other girls are behaving quite well, feeling good, and branching out.

Hey everyone! What do you think, will the fabric strips I'm using to tie down the branches interfere with nutrient transport?

I use zip ties and they don't cut into the plants, so your plants should be just fine. Just keep an eye on it if you're worried and see how it goes this run. If you don't like how they work, try something else. If you're new here, please select the answer that helped you out the most by clicking on the "answer" button underneath what the person said.

smower I poured too much pH+ into the pots and now there's a slightly alkaline environment. I'm balancing it out... Amnesia Lemon - started to yellow (see photo) What is this...? again pH? Critical Kush - clearly looks more alive, but the leaf die-off issues continue The other girls are doing great, they all seem to like it) Next week will be flowering. I'm really eager to see the results quickly and I'm running out of patience to get all the girls' health back on track. I'll do my best to make sure they all recover as much as possible this week.

the leaves are full of nutrients, have her drink only ph adjusted water for the next two times, it should solve the discoloration and swollen leaf. 😁

smower This week has made me very happy! Just look at Critical Kush! There's no trace of that sickly plant we observed throughout the entire vegetative period! It's actively growing, putting out new leaves, and feeling great! It hasn't flowered yet, but it's really pushing towards that. I'm very happy. Moby Dick is really exciting because it's fully in flowering now, while Amnesia Lemon is just a little behind. Laughing Buddha is lagging a bit more, but I'm not worried; the pistils of female flowers have already popped out at the nodes. On 03.02, Laughing Buddha has flowered. P.S. I'm really worried that due to issues during the vegetative stage, Critical Kush might have become a hermaphrodite. I'm carefully inspecting the plant every day, and so far, I only see the beginnings of female flowers.

smower I'm raising the lamp higher and higher, but Amnesia Lemon is still yellowing its leaves, it's unlikely to be burns... Everything else is great, the girls are growing and blooming =) I did some defoliation under the net this week. What makes me happiest is Critical Kush. It's starting to flower and finally got that dark green color as expected for an indica :) Moby Dick - just the fastest one, looks like the harvest will start with her. Amnesia Lemon - in second place after Moby Dick, but I'm still worried about the leaf color. Laughing Buddha - a very beautiful girl, despite having a slight delay in growth. BUT I should note that the pot has only 8-9 liters of soil. Critical Kush - what can I say, no hermaphrodites, thank you Jah! =)

The first bad omen is tht they copy and pasted a large portion of their "contact us" page directly from another site... can you see it? growdiaries.com/contact -- BWAHHA (i didn't find this but definitely entertianed by its existence.) they reply to some stuff, but i don't think they are well-staffed, so dont expect a quick turnaround. i have gotten replies before from them before, so it is possible. us the chat, use the infor@growdiaries or whatever it is. that is all you can do without the personal address and cell# of the ppl that work there. if they make it difficult to contact them that means they really don't want to be bothered by you (or me). interpret that as you will.

smower I'm really happy with the plants! On Moby Dick - the trichomes are very beautiful! I'm surprised that about 20 days have passed since flowering, and the leaves look like it's almost done flowering.. Amnesia Lemon - decided not to rush, it's slowly flowering and building up green mass, I guess I'll have to trim some leaves.. Laughing Buddha - my little joy!

smower Overall, it's been a decent week. I raised the lamp higher since Moby Dick and Amnesia Lemon have almost reached it. Moby Dick - I'm really concerned about how quickly it's yellowing and losing leaves🍁 🍃 Ideally, the flowering should continue for about another 30 days. Amnesia Lemon - has also started to yellow, but it's still within normal limits. Compared to last week, there's noticeable growth in the number of flowers, and trichomes have appeared. Critical Kush - is developing very quickly, with buds forming into dense colas! Laughing Buddha - the poor little girl is clearly trying to grow along with everyone else, but there's obviously a lack of soil(( in the end, it's growing slower than all the others.

Do you think it's normal for week 4 of flowering that Moby Dick's leaves are starting to yellow and fall off en masse?

Hi. It's not normal, as the others say, it's a nitrogen deficiency. Lower your pH between 6.2 and 6.5 so it has better access to nitrogen. Add a small dose of vegetative fertilizer, which doesn't need much nitrogen during the flowering phase. Good luck!

try raising the light higher, maybe the leaves are getting burned

Hey buddy. I went through the exact same thing as you a while back. I recommend a root wash with pH 6.5 and then measure the runoff water until it’s 6.5 again. After that, apply flowering nutrients and stop using the nitrogen-rich fertilizers. You should use a fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 1-3-2 to help with the start of flowering, and also use half the dose recommended by the manufacturer. Cheers homie and good luck with your girls!

Congratulations on getting into growing cannabis & joining our community! I will gladly help in bullet point form what I can see & will also reference you to our tutorial series here on grow diaries. We also have it in video form on our youtube page which is linked off of our main grow diary profile. We cover very very detailed step by step day by day all the way from seed to harvest to dry & curing. Now lets take a look at a few quick things that need improvement : - Your humidity is too high for your temperature. When we grow, We think of the 2 basic set points temperature & humidity. But when those combine they form a 3rd, Most important set-point. VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. We need to make sure our temperature & humidity line up to make safe healthy VPD for which stage of growth our plants are in. Read & study this link, Print off this chart and use it daily. Log your numbers : https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ - Your PH has fluctuated quite a bit from early on & later in growth, We want our PH balanced & dialed in consistently through our crop it is very important. Here is a great illustration and article about how PH affects our plant's. It is on an autoflower website, But this applies to all Cannabis plants. : https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ - When we are growing, We want to follow a routine when it comes to feeding or watering our plants, We do not want to feed every single time. We can either do FEED / WATER / FEED, Or FEED / FEED / WATER. This helps keep salt build up from forming up on our roots and helps our plants grow along more healthy & make better use of the nutrients you are giving them. You are going to want to get a basic feed program of GROW / MICRO / BLOOM. This is called a 3 part feed, We use this as our basic nutrients for our plants. It is completely possible to grow a good crop with these nutrients alone, But most people then will add in flower enhancers, Root growth enhancers, Things like that. We cover basic easy nutrient programs and how to use them as well in our series. It looks like you have done a lot of good things with your plant's training techniques, I feel once you understand and learn the environmental and feeding aspects you will see a big improvement in your next harvest ! Please take the time to watch our tutorial series & check our the diaries that go along with them, If you have any further questions PLEASE do not hesitate to ask me. Keep it up & do not give up!
