This was quite the week. As you might have read last time, my plant started to turn yellow, with the oldest biggest leaves at the bottom drying out. I posed this as a question and someone suggested I needed nutrients, since the soil I used might have run out by now. The plant was in a bad shape so I picked the only fertilizer in the house, something for house plants wih an NPK of 7-3-5. But after adding that with water, and watering again the day after, I stopped giving it water for about 2,5 days untill the soil was very dry again. The 3 days after I gave her water once every two days. Oh and I continued LST, but just on 2-3 of the outside branches, pulling them mildly away from the main branch to get more light on them and the buds below. Nothing too intense, just a way to make room. I'm a bit behind on posting so I'm covering week 8 while actually being near the end of week 9, so I can now definetly say this was an overwatering issue. Lessons learned: only add water when the soil is dry, even if it's only a bit moist, leave it for at least half a day or longer. This does however not seem to hurt the buds that much. They kept growing and about half of them had trichomes by the end of week 8. As for smell: when the tent is open, you can clearly smell the flowers, but softly, not too penetrant and just when you're in front of the open tent. Outside the tent, but in the growing room, there is basically no smell except more humidity in the room. I do like to keep my growing project private, so low smell was a priority. Glad to see that Quick One (for now) delivers to its promise of being a low smell plant. As I said, I'm al most at the end of week 9, hoping to post that in a few days. I don't wanna jump ahead too much, but things are definetly going better now, and the plant seems to start it's final phase.

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.

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.
