Midweek Blurple photo update. Holy Cow, these ladies are taking off!! I couldn't be happier with how well they are doing and I look forward to the coming weeks. Thanks for checking out the grow, and as always, Happy Growing!

I noted that the one plant that is having issues by the looks of your first photo, is both in a larger pot, and has more perlite on top. Is it possible it is just getting a larger amount of water feed than the others? My suggestion would be to ease back on her watering, maybe give her an extra day or two for the soil to dry up a little more? I give water to my two girls every 4 or 5 days, about 1/2 gallon, they are in 3 gallon pots. (When they were that size, only about 1/3rd gallon). Good luck!

@BeefWellingtons, agreed it looks like PH fluctuations but actually it's from irregular wateren just my two cents ! add some humic + fluvic acid next feed or do nothing hopefully it will straighten out

@Spazmagi I think you nailed it with getting a heater in there. The droopy leaves might still be overwatering but only because they won't drink as much with such low temps. Getting a heater in there will make all the difference I think. Good luck and happy growing!

Today I took a very close look at each of the ladies and their trichomes. The Dinafem Sour Diesel Auto is showing about 10% amber. She is getting quite close, but she needs to hold out a little longer. The Barney's Farm Pineapple Express Auto was next along showing a little less amber than the Sour Diesel. Maybe 5-8% of her trichomes showing amber. However, I had checked her only a couple days ago and she had none at that time. Both of the remaining ladies, the Auto Northern Hog from T.H. Seeds and the AK Automatic from BlimBurn, are about 50/50 clear/cloudy. I am hoping to harvest approximately December 1st. That would put the Sour Diesel and the Northern Hog on day 78 and the AK Auto and Pineapple Express Auto on day 71. Hopefully the trichomes don't change too fast as I will need to harvest them all simultaneously. I might just kill the lights on December 1st and then allow them 48-72 hours in the dark. This would put the elder two right on day 80 (their recommended harvest date) and the younger two ladies on day 73 (of recommended 75). I also plan on cutting them whole and hanging them upside-down. I have heard that this increases precision and efficiency during the trim process. Looking forward to a good harvest from these auto ladies. I'll keep you guys updated as they progress. Until next time, Happy Growing!

started adding Bud Candy 2ml/l. Will be updating with new pictures later this evening. I'm really wanting to fatten up these buds, but they've still got about 6 weeks to go.

I went ahead and flushed the Dinafem Sour Diesel with 5+ gallons of tap water (ph 7.5 out of the tap) and filled up my water jug with fresh tap water (no runoff or steamed veggie water) that is ph'ed to 6.5 for the next watering, which I expect in 2-4 days as the soil dries out. Temperature is holding steady around 84°F during the day and low 70's at night.

You definitely have a keen eye, there. Yes, she was moved into a larger pot (~3 Gal.? 12" diameter) and I added 30% perlite to that soil because in the smaller pot (without the added perlite) the soil was becoming dense and wasn't draining as well as I would have liked. I would normally have added pumice instead of perlite because it won't float up over time. I was leaning towards something to do with the soil moisture and now it's just a waiting game until it's all more or less dry again. The new growth isn't showing any of the same problems as before, but they are overly droopy, which points me back to too much moisture in the soil. Thanks to all of you for helping out.

Hope the grow goes well for you. I am a new grower so I am not sure exactly what she is going through, maybe nute burn? Flush her with just PHd water with some runoff and check the soil PH. When she bounces back the leaves that are already discoloured will remain that way but new growth should be green.

Also, I forgot to mention that I water with a mix of runoff and tap water. I put all my runoff into the watering can (usually less than a quart total from all plants), then fill the jug (1 gal) back up to full.

Spazmagicommented6 years ago

I considered that possibility, but there aren't any added nutes. It's just FFOF that I let sit for 2-3 months cause I heard it might be too hot for seedlings. Only thing added is a small amount of Kelp meal, Neem & Karanja cake, and perlite. Some Mykos mycorrhizal innoculant was applied to the roots during transplant also. I don't ph my water as I don't run hydro and I've never had issues with tap water before. I'm stumped.

Good luck with your grow. I'm finishing up my first grow and I learned a lot. I'm following.

I use fabric 5 gallon pots for my autos, the ONLY downside is the bottoms will stay wet if not elevated even slightly off the ground for air flow underneath, besides that I love fabric pots, first time growing cannabis but I've grown tons of veggies and tomatoes in fabric.

Well, apparently I just spaced out on a week somewhere around six. they were planted on Sept. 12th; germinated Sept. 15th. By my calculations that actually will make them 9 weeks old tomorrow, Nov. 17th. Today they are 64 days from seed, 62 from germination. I checked the trichomes today and on the Barneys Farm Pineapple Express Auto and the Dinafem Sour Diesel Auto they are right at 50/50 clear/cloudy.
