This is my first grow ever. I have set up with a DR60 tent (60x60x170) which fits perfectly in a boxed out closet. Additionally, the room is not used so I can pull cool fresh Scottish air in and extract it through a wooden hatch located in the closet. I am using bio-bizz all mix soil and regular tap water. I germinated the seeds straight in the soil and kept the temps up at 26 with the pots covered with film. Looking forward to getting some bio-bizz grow nutrients to compliment the soil. It has been hard to be patient but I learn that the more patience and little touching you do, the better it will grow 🙂Day 5 - repotted the plants into larger pots to ensure plenty of grow space. also I have changed the light cycle to 18/6 (not only to save some electricity bills!)
Happy with progress this week. Still no nutes added, but plan on starting these at the start of next week. Just staying patient :) almost time to start training 😀
Hi @Chewyyyy! Over-watering combined with heat usually make leaves look like this. Roots need to be on a wet/dry cycle to properly develop and spread for water. Too much water make the roots/plant suffocate. Now as a solution, let the soil dry (a slight continuous breeze onto the container will help), once it's fully dry then water with 15-20% of the container's capacity, and she should quickly recover. Never water with more than 25% of the container's capacity, or you'll risk an overwatering scenario again. And obviously decreasing your daily temperature will also help but it's not always possible. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
LST started this week. Have decided against topping or fimming the plant as it is my first grow and would rather focus on achieving a healthy grow rather than pure yield 🙂 nutes are starting today with BioBizz Grow to match the soil 😁
Still keeping on top of the plant to make sure it doesn’t grow vertical as much as possible, but will have to move the light up soon because it’s only tiny 60x60cm tent 😆new nutrients have been a added (biobizz topmax and bloom) and watering when the soil looks dry 🙂 no problems so far 🤞🏻
W6 D1 - start of week 6 and I still have a healthy plant. Got the light on from 7:30pm to 7:30am so I can work on them before I go out for work and when I amo home 🙂
End of week 6 - everything going well. Just letting the budsites mature while maintaining good temps. watering second day, however at the end of the week i noticed the pots getting drier quicker so may need to up the watering.
Plants looking healthy after 7 weeks. I have dropped the bio-grow nutrient as I felt the plant may be getting too much nitrogen and have upped the bloom and topmax. I have move the light higher to suit the plants, The only main issue I am having now is the lack of space in the tent. Due to the negative pressure in the tent, the side of the plant are being pulled in so I will need to find a way to box out the tent.
I guess this is the slower part of the grow as I cannot work on the plants as before! Lets hope these buds fatten up soon!
Sorry I have not been commenting - been very busy!
Pretty uneventful weekend waiting on the buds to fatten! Patience is key!!
-definitely would do some defoliation next time growing to give a cleaner less bushy look!
- being a new grower I was going to take off some fan leaves but have decided that I am best to let the plant grow without me stressing them out!
Another good week with no issues. Still keeping up the watering and checking for any issues.
22/10 - still no issues, buds fattening up nicely and watering every 2-3 days with at least one regular water a week followed by a nute mix. Starting to get excited as I noticed a few tricomes turning amber on the moremature plant 😁
23/10 & 24/10 - found some brown spotted leaves on the younger girl. I am going to pick up some Calmag and hopefully solve the problem. Will post results 👍🏻
25/10 - one fan stopped working so have replaced it, added a dehumidifier as the humidity was between 48-55%, and have added some CalMag to my nutrients at 1ml/l to the plant with the spots. I don’t think the leaves will recover but hopefully will stop the spread! Older plant doing well and just fattening up 🙂
Hi Guys,
Can I defoliate being so far into the flowering stage? I would like to expose more bud sites but don't want to over-stress the plant!
Thanks :)
Hello ! Not really a good idea , maybe later in flowering when the plants will focus on bud fattening but at that stage they needs foliage to thrive , maybe you can try to knit your leaves together to give the bud more light exposure or remove only the leaves that are blocking light to a bud. I hope it will help you 😁👍
28/10 - older plant doing well, with some more pistels turning Amber 🙂the younger plant is looking a bit sad with the leaves discoloring and brown spots, but am trying to limit this with calmag (1ml/l) the buds on the younger are fatter so just trying to hold out until Harvest. Thanks for all the tips and help so far!
29/10 - Same as above!
1/11 - Pistels starting to go amber on the healthy plant :D recon another few weeks and we are at harvest time! Unhealthy plant seems to be better after flushing all this week. The buds are fattening up nicely on both plants but I would say that for the next grow I will just focus on one single larger plant :)
So had to take the plants down earlier than hoped as both plants had the brown disease spreading. Nice smoke with it being harvested early, and nice fat colas. Happy with the first grow!
Chewyyyy
