So... things were great in week 7, but I'm also gonna talk about the start of week 8 because I think the plant might be in trouble. Plant kept on growing and developing tops very nicely, getting more tops and them growing better than expected for a first grow. Following a few guides I upped the water supply from around 600-800ml to 1L or a bit more on a daily basis. I'm growing in a tent in a small closed room so i try to vent it at least a few hours a day to keep the humidity at 60% or less. I've continued some minor LST, just on 3 of the smaller outside brances and not too hard. They were still flexible and I assume giving them more room for light and growth would be good. I've noticed for a while the bigger lower leaves are going bad, yellow or dry. one older leaf even just breaking off by touching it. But near the end of week 7 some of the younger leaves on the outside of the plant started to go from nice healthy green to light green and yellow. This is on all sides of the plant on the outside. I was out of town for 3 days while my partner would take care of the plant, but given the color and because the soil was still moist, it was watered just a bit in 3 days. After coming home the soil was still moist and the leaves seemed worse. I waited another 48 hours and just now (almost end of week 8) I've given it about half a liter of water again. The soil was definetly dry now. Given that I don't use fertilizers, there are no big changes in temperature (lowest was 16°C, highest 24°C) or light cycle, I suspect I overwatered her last week. I assumed growing the tops and overall size, it would need more water. It's still too early to notice if cutting back on watering would do helpt, but I definetly hope so. Any comments or advice is welcome. Does this look like overwatering, or another issue to you? Can the plant still be saved or should I remove it, or just not expect too much yield now? I'm a bit worried but also very curious to learn, hoping this will just be a good lesson. Everything has been going so well it would be a shame to see it die just a few weeks from harvest. UPDATE: I put the yellow leaves up as a question and some people pointed out it needs nutrition. One person pointed out that my soil was probably fertilized to start and that will probably have worked out. I had some fertilizer around from my (regular) plants so I used it carefully, hoping to see better leaves in the next few days. I can't reply to questions but if you're one of the people answering: thank you very much for taking a look and sharing your experience!

Grow Questions

Katsunystarted grow question 2 years ago
Should I worry about the length of the plant at this time? I'm now halfway week 5 and it's about 25cm, but it's hard to believe this will still double in size in the next 2 weeks, assuming lenght growth will stop or slow once flowering starts.
Solved
Plant. Too short

First of all, if you're expecting to get a harvest in a month, you're going to be disappointed ... the plant would need to be in full flower right now to expect a harvest inside of four weeks. Second, don't believe the hype generated by seed sellers as to the time it takes to get a harvest - they want to sell seeds and advertising a fast harvest only serves that purpose.... most will tell you that their estimates are the BEST you can expect but that generally you'll need to be growing quite a bit longer. That being said, you've got a good looking plant here. I'm surprised she's not drinking more but she doesn't look like that's an issue... Once she goes into flower, she will start to stretch and she'll get a lot taller. Height is not an issue - I've grown plants that only got to be 21" and others that got close to 5-feet.. different strains, different conditions - it all makes a difference but genetics plays the biggest part here. Your lights seem to be much too far away - bring them down... no further away than 24" ... when she goes into flower, you're going to want them to sit about 18" above the canopy.... Good luck...

@GrowWithFlow, Thanks, I'm really curious how much yield I'll get out of this plant. Planning to harvest later this week and hopefully smoke it in a few weeks after drying and curing.

Hi when you say decent yeald next month do you mean your planning to flower ot next month ie 4 more weeks on veg ? As your Flowering time is probably 10 weeks and then 2 weeks stretch as well so your not going to have anything to yead intill Ruffly end April beginning on may buy if you want big yealds the veg time is a big factor on the yeald same as the environment but happy growing and good luck

@Katsuny, you do know that the Flowering time is just the Flowering time alone and not start to finish yes? If they been Flowering about 2 weeks then you will have about 7/8 weeks left to go yet they don't mean 10weeks from seeds to harvest happy growing

@Katsuny, you do know that the Flowering time is just the weeks to flower not that the whole thing is 10 weeks total yes ? 10weeks alone so around 8/9weeks to go the veg time has been quite quick but the grow time is always 8/12 weeks just to flower them and harvest is not brilliant for autos but goof luck

@Growladyeastmidlands,Thanks! Honestly I don't have a solid planning here. The seeds are advertised as 6 weeks to flowering and 9-10 weeks to harvest. I'm now near the end of week 6 and flowering has started. I'm keeping in mind this might take more then advertised, but since it's an autoflower I don't expect it to last it too much longer.

I'm super excited to see how my quick ones turn out after seeing your diary, great job mate! Saw you mentioned issues with the timer, I had similar problems with my mechanical timer. Bought a four pack of Tapo WiFi plugs from Amazon, smart plugs are well worth the investment for us indoor growers 😉 Good luck with your next grows!

@NoobBeNoobin, Yeah, it's definetly an issue, but I suspect it's never more than a few minutes and it hasn't affected the growth much. But if I ever do a non-autoflower I will try a different timer to avoid confusing the plant.

Thanks for the detailed report. I am shortly before harvesting and your report is helping me a lot.
