Tl;dr: My plant seems back on track, heading into it's final phase before harvest. After a tricky week with leaves turning yellow and exceptionally adding some nutrient, I went back from about 1l/day to 1L every 2-3 days. I'm 90% sure it was an overwatering issue with the leaves looking a bit better, but most importantly: not getting worse. Luckily this did not affect the growth of the flowers much. In week 9 the buds got bigger, forming one big cola on the bigger branches. All of them have white trichomes on them and halfway this week the first pistils started to turn brown. The plant is clearly putting it's energy in the flowers, with almost no change in length or branches and leaves. Overall everything seems to evolve as it should be. I'm expecting to grow for at least another week (10) and probably harvest in week 11 once the trichomes turn amber. As for smell: you can smell the plant in the tent, but in the room or the room next to it there's no scent at all. There is however an important caveat: I usually have the charcoal filter to around 1/4th-1/3rd of it's max power (The filter that came with the Mars Hydro tent can do 200 CFM, but that's overkill for one plant in a small tent). This afternoon I wanted to test the difference if I lowered the power of the fan (to cut down on the noise), and about 2 hours later the hall next to the grow room had a very clear weed smell. Important detail: this was right after watering, so humidity was very high afterwards, probably partially causing more smell. I repeated this a few hours later and the scent seemed less intense. I admit this is not really scientific, not even sure if it's different, or I just got more used to the scent. So setting the filter fan at the right speed is crucial to keeping the scent under control, especially when you can't have a window open all the time. But knowing that the plant is well in it's flowering phase, it's still a relatively light smell. Next update will take at least a week. Hoping to see more brown pistils and keeping an eye on the color of those trichomes in the upcoming week. Very curious if the buds will still continue to grow.

Grow Questions

Katsunystarted grow question a year 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.
