Hi @William137! Well, heat + high relative humidity usually lead to these symptoms. Either your lamp-to-plant distance is too short, or your airflow is not good enough. Try to have a slight and continuous breeze onto your babies and maybe raise your light up since you're currently having hot temperatures. Lowering the relative humidity might help but that's not the main priority (try to control heat+airflow first). Also, since you're growing in coco, your 5.0 pH level is a bit acidic, try to stick to the optimal pH range for coco, 5.3~5.8. The first weeks are the most important ones, especially with autoflowering strains, so try to react as fast as you can, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
Pleased with the progress! Had a few leaves curling up but seems to have been sorted with and extra fan and lifting the lights slightly. The pots seem very heavy and mosit so im not sure if im overwatering them
Happy with the progress but not sure if they are tall enough for the age? Also should i be pruning the bottom leaves?...
Does anyone know if i should turn both my 400w to 600w on my ballast's? (Running hps)
Plants seem to have just dropped into flower🎉 all seem healthy to me, just took a few of the bottom leafes off for the air to circulate better. What does everyone think? Do they look healthy for their age?
2x sugar mama are shooting up past the other 2
So as you can see in the pics, the plants are really bushy! And they are geting more bushy by the day.
I have trimmed alot of leaves thats are covering bud sites and there are still alot of leaves left, is this ok? Ive read alot on the internet saying dont trim autos
hey Bill Bradley, yeah man what may seem like a bit of leaf prunnen to you is actually HST to your girls. I mean you're rippen out a part of that plant. There's really very little logic behind defoliation - leaves absorb light much better than flowers that's why flowers make leaves actually. The plant basically absorbs light and photons then uses some plant magic to distribute that magic evenly across the plant, meaning that it doesn't really matter which side of the plant the light hits most, what matters is absorbing that light. So the more surface area your plant has the better and more energy it's getting. Defoliate - sure, but overdoing it will just stunt your grow or push back your harvest date. Looks fine now, let it bush out, just train the colas so they 're nice and straight, and enjoy the show ! good luck ! 🚀
Not really changed that much this week 1 or 2 plants have deleloped some buds but some of the others are just starting, have just started adding bidbud coco to the mix so well see if that makes a differance, gettin almost immpossible to feed so having to remove plants to feed 😴
Plants are getting too big for the tent so ive had to tie them back slightly to stop the growing into the bulb 😔 both strains smell awsome and seem to be going really good!
Buds getting alot bigger now and loads of crystals on them 😍 had to move things around in the tent for the 4 biggest ones to have some more room, quite a few leaves turning yellow and dropping off recently (i hope this is normal) all the plants are differant sizes so im not going to update the plants size
Hi, im wanting to know how to identify when my plants are a week of harvesting (80% of the hairs turning brown) i want to stop the bloom boosters and the nutiernce a week before but i just dont know when that will be as its my first grow, in no rush just need signs to look for
Hello @William137 ! Watching for the hairs until they turn brown is not a precise way to decide if they are ready to harvest. You have to check the trichomes with a microscope like this one ( https://www.amazon.com/Microscope-Trichome-Identification-Cannabis-Magnification/dp/B01LZR1FEV/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1541371070&sr=8-18&keywords=cannabis+microscope ). Start flushing when you see amber trichomes and harvest when the trichomes are 80% milky and 20% amber. If you want a body feeling stone harvest when trichomes are 80% amber and 20% milky. Happy growing ! 👍
Well, these were suppost to be 9week start to finish but the tricomes still look clear 🤔 still im happy with them soo far so im sure a few more weeks will do them more good!
Only half way through harvest, had to section half the tent while the others keep going for a few days, happy with whats come of so far (4plants worth)

@Stick, thanks! Ive added a 2nd clip on fan and lifted my lifts up 5inches, they dont seem to be getting an worse so hopefully its done the trick! My pots seem very heavy and moist so i was going to give them 48hours untill their next feed, will that do any harm? Just worried about over watering them
perfect. if they grow that way leave them. there is noting like growing your own. looking good so far, keep the heat down the best you can.
and in like 3 weeks or so you will see the buds get nice and mouth watering.
