So guys, end of week 4 at the parlour and my first ever grow. Possibly the biggest boom in growth so far down to a few small changes and keeping a close eye on the conditions. Lamp distance unchanged since week 2 and i think it's in the sweet spot as the plants are very bushy and reluctant to stretch too high. This week I've not solely focused on laying every branch down flat and let them find a natural path to the light. Only the biggest have been flopped over the sides of my pots. Feed wise they have only had 1 good flush and feed. Last week I couldn't get my run off EC below 2.8 so I left them 4 days unfed then flushed each with 6 litres of 5.6ph water. After that I made up a lighter 1.4ec nute mix and gave them a further 6 liters each. This in combination with improving my drainage sytem meant I managed to bring my run off EC to within 0.3 difference on each pot. Last feed was Friday evening and they have exploded since. I knocked the extra N on the head this week also as some leaves were showing minor toxicity. Plenty of new growth which is looking very healthy. As the weeks go on I'm learning more and more and with the help of some Growdiaries members the girls are looking very comfortable. I'll give them until next Sunday then decide based on thier size weather or not to flip them over to flower! Thank you to everyone input so far it is very much appreciated.

TheIceCreamParlourstarted grow question 6 years ago
My girls are 23 days old today! Roots have bust through my 20 litre smart pots. I'm staggered by the speed of them. I do however have a question for seasoned growers..... I have quite a lot of alge/green growth on the smart pots. Is this going to cause me a problem?

Green alge is fine, it can actually be used as a food source for the plant. Black mold is bad, if you see any black mold dispose of the plant immediately and totally sterilize your grow room/tent. Good luck ๐Ÿ‘

Would love it if you guys could take a look over my photos/vids this week and give me advise on how long I have left and when ish to start flushing? Tomorrow is the start of their 6th week of flower. I'm not in any rush but really want to get it bang on and not flush too late.

Hello ! According to me the good answer is a mix between the 2 previous answers. One last feeding then flush like Athos told you ( based on the feeding chart ) and you should grab a magnifier to watch at the trichomes like Bulbi told you ( mine is x45 and I can perfectly see the trichomes without issue ) the good trichomes ratio for a mix effect is 100% cloudy (working with every hybrids , but need to be adjust for pure indica or sativa) but if you like to be a zombie in your sofa then go with 10/20% amber trichomes (hard stone for sur , with a narcotic effect ). So even if you wanna flush if your trichomes are all clear then you should wait . I hope it will help you ๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ‘

2 more days and I will update my diary with some extra photos. Theres zero alge on the surface of my coco/pebble medium due to the gnatmix. The alge its slowly building up on the exterior of the fabric smart pots. Obviously this is down to the good draining properties of the medium and the nute mix is soaking into the fabric and exposed to lights. I kinda know the cause but mainly need to know if it's going to become more of an issue? I assume that once the plants grow to a canopy there wont be enough light for alge to survive but I dont want anything to jeopardise my first grow and I have no experience. Thanks for everyone's input at this point!

@TheIceCreamParlour, no need just wait till you're in flower is all good so far. keep an eye out for bad mold (black spots) but its all good at this point... stick with the plan ;-)

@CRiSPrGrow, I can definitely get humidity lower but my chart recommends 60-70%?? I have an air circulating fan blowing air around the tent right above the top of the leaves. Also have a smaller fan at the back just for the 2 pots furthest away from the main fan. I'll try humidity around 50% for this week then and see what happens.

My girls are having a really tough time since the last diary update. First week in flower and I found thrips throughout. I have smoke bombed and sprayed them which seems to have done the job. Also done a lot of defoliation in the lower areas. Will set up my scrog net as of next week to try and even out the bud sites.

@CRiSPrGrow, I fogged them while they were just finishing veg and it managed to sort the problem. If they come back in flower then I'll definitely take that advise mate!

Thanks for the quick response @DudeGrowsWeed. I did try to upload a pic but will have to add it to the the 4th week diary. Its definitely just green alge at the moment. Tent is 4 weeks old and conditions and cleanliness have been monitored twice if not 3 times per day. I will keep an eye on it!

@TheIceCreamParlour, But it sounds logically that hte Rockwool cubes take more water than the surrounding and algaes are built.

@TheIceCreamParlour, You're welcome. As long as its green, you should be fine. But keeping an eye on it is definitely a good idea too.

Just uploaded 4 pics of the trichomes on my 2nd largest plant. Think I've timed this flush absolutely perfect! (Without tooting my own horn) Now I've got a better magnifier and attached it to my phone camera I can see that theres around 5-8% amber trichomes on this plant. Will continue my 10 day flush as planned and chop them down this coming Sunday!!!!!!! 4 days to go!!

I've just added some pics of leaf damage I've found. Its come on rapidly over 48 hours. Only the largest top fan leaves have it and mabey only 2-3 on each plant. Decided to flush them for now and will go back to a light feed tonight.

Thanks dude! I picked up a 60 and 90x magnifying glass last week to keep an eye out for bugs. I know I'm way off right now but wondered how quick they go from cloudy to amber. Dont wont to overcook them and loose quality for the sake of quantity. I certainly have a good 2 weeks left of feed.

Forgot to add it to the diary but got my @fastbuds seeds today in the post. Put them on to germinate. I've gone for Six Shooter, Green Crack, Pineapple Express and Cream Cookies. Will put up a new diary when they have germinated.

@CRiSPrGrow, I've got the box well out of the way of anything and the pump above. Hasent given me any issues up to how and for the price I'm happy to give it a test. After this grow I'm looking to upgrade and go with a bottle and regulator system. Either that or my local hydroponic shop has the aerosol type with a timed release that's supposed to be pretty good.

No idea why but its changed the units from inches to cm. Should be 18" lamp to plant and tallest plant was 14" right before I topped it.

@CRiSPrGrow, actually not far off! I started with 6 litres each pot but they took all of it with no run off. Gave them all another 3 and a bit litres each and still only about 10% run off but enough to take an EC and PH reading.

It does take ages to go from milky to amber to too far gone. Don't worry about going over the 'cliff' quickly. it doesn't happen like that. Maybe you should try a staggered harvest. I.E when you see an amber trichome on a bud, cut that bud off. It's done. Leave all the others to ripen and advance to that stage. I've done it in the past quite successfully

Hey ICP, yeah man there's really no other way to know than to check the trykes with a 70x microscope. I got mine on Amazon for 1.79 ... you're looking to have them 100% milky for maximum potency so you'll want to time your two week flush accordingly. Thing is even you if you get really close or use something like a 30x magnifier you wont really be able to tell. you're the only one really who can say that 's the thing. You'll see the cloudy trykes getting ripe. for reference a tryke takes around 2 weeks to get cloudy. hopefully yours will get ripe soon ! hope this helps ๐Ÿš€
