Overall I am happy with the way my first grow turned out. Encountered a bit of issues in veg but I think that was user error and not at fault of the genetics. Medium used was pro mix hp, fed tap water which I honestly did not even pH during flower. I tested it near harvest and noticed the water was coming out close to 8.0 🤣. Despite this the soil seemed to have buffered it, and the plant finished strong. Final dry weight was 90.45 grams, with the gassy aroma of grapes, vanilla/coffee, and citrus filling your nostrils after opening the jar post cure. I definitely could have done better with the dry, as I believe I had a fan pointed directly at the buds. This may have messed with the potency or the terps a bit… but there is room for improvement with future grows. I harvested with all milky trichs, with very few amber tips scattered throughout. The smoke produces a quick head euphoria, along with a sense of energy, perfect for daytime use. Then the GDP genetics kick in about an hour or so later, numbing the body & putting you into a relaxing state. Got these seeds as a freebie on North Atlantic seeds website, didn’t expect much but the plant delivered.

This light is pretty awesome, although I would say two is sufficient for a full canopy in a 2x4 tent.

Looking good and healthy in the house. Good luck for a nice harvest.

Hey mate, don't think you have a cal mag issue there, speaking from experience it looks awfully like light burn more specifically your UV spectrum LEDs. Are you sure your 46cm away? Might be worth backing off the intensity a little. Your old leaves won't recover but new growth should hopefully not suffer the same fate. Just some friendly advice from someone who has made this mistake

@Aussiegreenthumb82, I am going to double check and measure the distance from the top leaf to the light to see if its 18", it should be about that though.

@Aussiegreenthumb82, I appreciate the response a lot... I was considering that as the problem at first, but wouldn't the leaves closest to the light be affected by this issue first? The fan leaves that are having the issue are in the middle of the plant
Aussiegreenthumb82
Aussiegreenthumb82commentedweek 52 years ago
Not necessarily. It's caused by specific LEDs in the panel I.e. the ones that omit UV wavelength thus what matters is the path of this wavelength relative to position of the leaf. When I had the issue my plants were 15-20cm away from light but I'm running 100W viparspectra so yours more powerful.

@Aussiegreenthumb82, understood, i raised the light about 4 inches or about 10 cm hoping that will fix the issue :) thanks again for the advice , I believe the light I am running right now is 220W but it is running at 50% efficiency as directed by the manual during veg stage.

Hi.. sry, but I'm banned for 7hrs from answering Q/personal chat. But I can still comment So, you've a muncher(s). We all get them. If I were seen an odd hole/tear, that's usually down to rapid growth. Vains get pult and you get a hole r 2. But, the edges of yours have white.. so, that's either damage by grower, (clearly not, r y would you be asking a q) or damage from something having a snack on your leaves. Most probably at lights out. And when lights come on, they'll quickly move to somewhere dark. Your sub. Itsx nothing to really be worried about. All us indoor growers get them and 99% off the time. The suspect will just die of natural causes from the nutrients that we use. Especially if its synthetic or you can add silica Some strains will be targeted more than others. Its not down to resistance or anything like that. (YOU'LL HEAR THAT) but, what a more resistant strain will stand with a shield and sword. It Jst means they can withstand attacks better. But, some phenos give off a stronger leaf scent. And they tend to go for rid pungent ones. Its very minimal so much so. There's not much you can do. Nor should you bother. It's not an issue. Until its an issue. If the plants are suffering from it. Feel free to hit me up. And we'll tackle it. Sry couldn't leave this in chat or your comment. Jst don't want you getting bad advice. There's a lot of numbs answering the Q, as it's a contest. Anyways Good Growing

Silica will help build strong membrane walls in your plant. And it'll also make the munchers die and you'll have less holes. You could add sticky traps around your sub. But, chances of you catching just 1 r 2 are well, 0. Sry about add on. If I edit to much. I get a comment ban. Feel free to mes me. And ban is lifted we can chat more if you like about it. Ways you can build up a plants defences

Unfortunately like all issues with the plant we love the hints she gives us could be multiple issues. Just keep it in mind and don't stress, apart from this overall your plant looks super healthy!! 👌

Hmm sounds like you doing everything right with the light if you running 50% at that distance. See how you go, good luck 👍🏻
