I think she's looking pretty happy this week! Started watching the history of the temp and humidity. I think the temperature has a good looking differential, as far as I can tell. Seems the humidity is less stable than I'd thought, but it still seems to average around 50%, which I think is still OK. Looks like as of today, she's grown to 6.5 inches (giggity), which I think is pretty respectable (....more giggity). I moved the light up to 24" from the plants, as one of her roommates had a little touch of yellowing... which is probably "I want nitrogen" and not "omg i'm getting a sunburn", but figured I'd be safe and attempt to address both. I'll watch things at the new height and adjust if/as needed. She got her second round of nutrients today, upping the nutrient content to 3 tsp/gal. I also added some spacing/drainage on the grow floor, to avoid any wet feet and make sure the roots are properly air pruning on the bottom of the grow bag (I say this like I know what I'm doing, but I'm mostly parroting my partner's guidance). This necessitated a bit of rearranging, moving the humidifier to the far right of the tent and repositioning the intake fan's ducting a bit. As far as I can tell, she's about ready (if not beyond ready) to commence training. The central stalk is thick enough that I think I will need to start it in stages. Next grow 'round I will probably start the light a little lower in intensity to induce a little legginess early on, which I suspect will make for easier training? I think some defoliation might be in order too, but that's going to take some reading up, because I don't really want to thin the wrong leaves, and I don't really know which those might be. All in all, I think the grow is on track and it's certainly being a good learning process!

Grow Questions

Does anyone know what I’m seeing with the leaves in these photos? The closest I’ve been able to guess from online resources is maybe sulfur deficiency, but to my eye it doesn’t seem to quite fit any of the broad categories. Perhaps just general under-fertilization?

Hola! No tienes estrés Tienes una ligera falta de N - Nitrógeno Mi consejo: tienes dos opciones. Uno. Como estás en floración, golpea con un fertilizante líquido de CRECIMIENTO a mitad de la dosis recomendada por el fabricante Dos. coge un puñado de Humus de lombriz, echalo en la parte superior de la maceta y mezclalo con los 2 ó 3 cm de la parte superior del sustrato. Y haz un riego MUY DESPACIO con 500 ml de agua con pH ajustado Tendrás un respuesta muy buena en unos días con las dos opciones! Suerte y estamos aquí para ayudarte!

I think perhaps you substrate ph is off. You should be soaking the entire pot to at least a 10% run off each time unless this is living soil ? I think she's hungry for some pk & calmag. Your diary isn't clear what your feeding her ?

Newbie87commented2 years ago
@TheFaeCat, you do need some nitrogen each time you feed even in flower. Practise water/feed and always irrigate the entire pot to some run off. Otherwise you get a build-up of salts & nutrient lockout or bugger the roots up.

@Newbie87, Thanks for the comment! She's getting Foxfarm Tiger Bloom, but possibly I haven't been feeding often enough. The bottle calls for feeding every other watering, and the soil was holding so much moisture that she wasn't getting water as often (I was afraid of overwatering, as I've read that is a more common mistake than underwatering). I just gave her another round of nutrients this weekend, and we will see how she goes!
