Originally started the plants off in a Aerogarden Harvest, actually with the original nutrients. They grew well in the 1st week, then after 2 weeks , they started to get moldy , so i cut off the leaves and added a extra pump, changed to general Hyraponics formulae and made a Mylar Back cover to increase the light, all 4 plants looked good and are growing well, but they all started to get too tight to one another , so last weekend i transferred into a 4 x 4 grow tent. with Coco Coir and perlite mix, 2.5 gallon tubs with run off saucers. now all 4 are lookinf quite good, a little nutrient burn so i will reduce to 1/2 and one day flush . then back on to nuitrients, 1st flowers are looking like they are starting so i will keep an eye on this. I the problemn is i was afriad i transferred them too late as i didnt know they were autos. anyway i upped the time to 20hrs on and 4 hrs off. Temp in the tent is hard to control as its so humid just now, but i think i can jsut about maintin it. anway i will post a pic tonight. any advice guys , i am using a guide actually off the web seems quite sensible.

Hello @mrhat2001 ! Definitely both. The broader the spectrum the better the outcome will be ( especially at quality 😉 ) . The flower setting by its own you are going to use it probably never 😜 unless for some reason you want them to get stretched in order to perform some kind of training. Happy growing ! 👊

I raised the height of 2 plants to help them. Still 20/4 schedule full lights. Because it’s my first grow no Idea what to expect next. NO smell yet. My ppm is 335 after run off is that ok?? My nutrients are always the same ph is spot on do I need To raise the amount

Guys ok I am start of week 6 I think everything so far is ok I am on full spectrum led light 20/4. Please look at the pics what can I expect for week 6 7 8 etc as I have no idea. I am sticking to defoliation once per week nutrient 5 out of 7 days , using the grow weed easy guide.

Hi @mrhat2001! Plant looks a bit under-watered and probably under heat-stress. I would stop defoliation at this stage since your plant has stopped making new leaves, and she still needs those to proceed to photosynthesis. I would also stop FloraNovaGrow intakes since she doesn't need Nitrogen anymore. All she needs is a bit of P+K booster to help buds fattening up. You can expect bud fattening, resin/trichomes production. You will need to inspect your trichomes on a daily basis to understand their maturation process, and you will also need to flush the soil for a few days before harvest, to get rid of any nutrients/chemicals in the buds. Patience is the key, but you're doing fine, I'm confident you'll be rewarded with a good yield. Happy growing 👊

Ok week again no problems,didn’t have a clue what ec was then figured out it was ppm. So started that measurement it’s about 400 going in. I knocked a stem with my tent door but taped it up hopefully will be ok. I have one plant high the rest are smaller I took photos of each one is budding much quicker than the others. I have stopped the defoliation as everyone on this website told me too much. I am using grow weed easy site for the nutrients guide I look at others and they are all using much more than me. ?? Anyway every week is a progress week it’s got cooler in canada so eaiser to maintain the temps.

Week 8 3 plants starting to fatten the tall one hasn’t done very much of anything might need a few more weeks than the other. Still at 20 hrs but going to reduce to 12/12 for the last 3 weeks. Being trying to check the thichrimes I think one more week before less nutrients and pre flushing for at least 2 plants. I have again posted the photos any comments welcomed. Any easy tips for harvest readiness would be welcomed

Hi @mrhat2001! I won't recommend such kind of post harvest treatment. You worked hard for months in order to get those buds fat and frosty, you don't want to ruin your final product with a risky method. You should flush your medium, to get the optimum potency/taste, but don't touch your buds, even with your fingers, trichomes are precious (and fragile), a badly done washing operation may lead to resin loss or worst. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and enjoy your harvest! 👊

So it’s been a long road . Started with 20 seeeds 2 years ago ended up growing these 4 plants. Harvest was good I smoked the resin off the cutters. Excellent high. So it’s my first grow of anything. But manged to get good buds on 4 plants. Appreciated the help you all gave. So now I have completed my harvest I think I hung too long they feel quite dry so I will jar them and see over the next week I might add peel if they stay dry, any help on this would be appreciated. Once the start to absorb moisture I am expecting a small weight increase. Final weight was 124gms. So I have burped the weed check out my final pic before I smoke it really frosty.

@mrhat2001, Dont do to much defoilation, just picking the leaves that block the light to the flowers. Otherwise she gives the energy in building leaves instead of Fatten up Flowers

Newbie grower here, so it's just my 2 cents, but if you are really giving her 5ml per gallon, that is way too much. Recommended is 1ml per litre at this stage in a soilless grow. At least that's what I read. Might want to dial that back a bit. Good luck!

@BeefWellingtons, to be faitr i think 5ml per gallon is ok it isnt 5ml per ltr? 1Ml per litre is 4ml per gallon?

If you are talking about a flush, yes. Go ahead and just give water to wash out nutes and salts and whatnot. If you are talking about a post harvest wash I have seen it done on YouTube and it won't hurt your buds, but it's really done more for outdoor growers to remove bugs and dust and stuff like that, not really needed for indoor growers. You can search youtube for something like cannabis washing to see how it's done, but I doubt you need it.

I would give it another week from now and then check again,but I would bet they could use 2 more weeks to fatten up.
BeefWellingtons
BeefWellingtonscommentedweek 96 years ago
@mrhat2001 still lots of white pistils. You're at least a week out, but you might seriously benefit if you wait 2 weeks more before harvest. Time to get a magnifier so you can observe the tricomes and get a better reading? Great job so far!
Tonino
Toninocommentedweek 96 years ago
yes the plant needs more time maybe the stress from the defoliation slowed down the grow for a bit

BeefWellingtons
BeefWellingtonscommentedweek 66 years ago
I would suggest you refrain from further defoliation at this point. Each time you do it, it's a shock to the plant and then the plant has to recover. So doing it every week will stunt it, and make your harvest 2 or 3 weeks late. Imo, you did a great job on the first pic, try tucking the leaves if they are in the way. Good luck!
the end.
