Topped about 4 days ago. I decided not to build a 2x2 scrog, as I feel like the pot is big enough to do the LST on. I think I'm only gonna go with that one topping this go. As you can see the cover crop came up. Here in about 5 days or so I'll start the LST.

Grow Questions

Berserkjibisstarted grow question 5 years ago
There are several tops that are lower down than the main tops. Should I remove any of these, since they won't get as much light?

Hi @Berserkjibis! Avoid any kind of pruning after the 2nd week of flowering, each pruning session requires the plant to focus its energy into recovering, and might even lead to new veg growth. Defoliate instead! ๐Ÿ‘Š

As seen in one of my pics on week 16, you can see a dried brown spot on one of my leaves. It's not on a ton of leaves but it's in a few different spots. What could be causing this? If it's a PH issue I don't know because I'm doing no-till and haven't monitored the PH.

The first suspect when you have weird leaf symptons is pH, specially if you are using tap water. That been said, you have several burnt tips on quite a few leaves. You mentioned you top dresed the soil, perhaps whatever you used was too strong, because it does look like a slight nute burn. Before doing anything I would meassure your water pH, if it's too high, that's the more likely culprit, if not then flush the soil with pH'ed water.

Thank you for responding. I don't think anything thing I'm giving her at this point has much nitrogen. Every week or two I'm giving her: BuildaBloom Recharge Coconut water Silica A sprinkle of GrowKashi I added a few cups of fresh vermicompost during transition to flower so maybe that is why its so dark. Also I've added a bit of TM-7 two or three times during the grow. Do you think I should change anything? Thanks

@@Athos, Thanks for your answer. I think I ended up putting too much Buildasoil's craft blend when I transitioned to flower. Also it could have been that I used more TM-7 than I should have. The only PH meter I have isn't working right so I'll definitely be buying a decent one before my next grow.

How often are you watering? I tend to wait till the pot is completely dried out. As in you lift the pot and it's so light you wonder how your plant is alive. Rule number 1 less is more. These grow in the wild with no care just remember that. Good luck dude ๐Ÿ‘

@SlimJamie, I would say I was watering in the solo cup about every 3 to 5 days. I had another solo cup with dry soil to compare the weight with. I watered when they weighed the same. I don't know if you can tell from the pic but my soil was pretty much bone dry when I transplanted. Thanks!

My friend that grew the same breeders strain went 77 days. That's a lot longer than the recommended flowering time, but that's when the trics showed it was ready. Woke and boke works lol. ๐Ÿ‘

@Mrs_Larimar, Ok I'll bump it up about 5 degrees tonight before I start the dark period. Thanks for your input!
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimar
@Berserkjibis, ah high one is better because it lowers the RH, its because you flushed the girl and put her in darkness and if its cold and have no airflow she likes to mold, visit her twice a day, and have a look
Berserkjibis
Berserkjibis
@Mrs_Larimar, What temperature should I do for dark period to avoid mold? Is a high or low temp better?

What week did you top them
Berserkjibis
Berserkjibis
@DAMO1BUD, Thanks! I got to looking and I actually told you how I did it wrong. When the plant had 6 nodes, I topped it above the 4th node, and then removed everything below the 2nd node.

@Berserkjibis, Mine are 28days from seed. Have about 5 nodes . Yours look nice
Berserkjibis
Berserkjibis
@DAMO1BUD, I topped them on day 24 I think, at the 6th node. Also I removed everything below the 2nd node, and it recovered from the topping really quick.

Hi , it seems like you have to wait alittle longer, isee a mix of clear/ milky trichomes.But the longest time of waiting is over give her 8-10 days more. Can you rise the temperature=? that helps her to mature faster
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimar
@Berserkjibis,if you are in a hurry its good like it is.. have anice vacation
Berserkjibis
Berserkjibis
@Mrs_Larimar, I could raise the temp, but at this point I want it to go a little longer than expected. I have to go on a trip for a few days during drying, so I don't want them to over dry before I get back.

@Berserkjibis Solid looking canopy! I wouldn't worry about those brown-spots unless they are pests. This late into harvest a nutrient problem isn't going to change much just start the final flush when you are ready. Just double check to ensure there are no pest problems. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hey pal, gutted that your timer broke but things are still looking on track. Have you been running the HLG 135w throughout the grow?
Berserkjibis
Berserkjibis
@Megumin, Yep I've ran it at 100% the whole time. When the plant was young I kept it around 2ft away, and now I keep it around 18" away from the top of the canopy.
