Hello everyone.
I miss the pictures from germination process.
Germination was made 24 hours in glass of water and later into a wet paper towel.
After few days I moved the germinated seed from the paper towel directly into the soil.
In the beginning the stem was getting a bit long so I decided to put a "burry" it more into the soil hoping some roots will grow out from that extra stem.
In the photo you see after the works have been completed and the humidifier is also running.
For now only plain water. after one week I'll start adding some Grow nutrient.
We are staring the second week of veg. Things starts to be more interesting.
I think the ultrasonic humify is giving a nice support for the growing process.
Without that extra moisture support the air is 30% dry (see the photo when moisture system is not running). Maybe a bit too dry.
Decided to lower LED a bit more from 30 cm to 25cm.
Mr. Bud is keeping low for now and I hope it will continue so, the room is not very high. 😁
Bio grow 1ml/L adding almost every day in small amounts approx. 100ml.
Updates will come next week.
Going well for now.
I realized that probably it was not necessary to burry deeper when plant due to long stem.
Now the leaves are huge and almost touching the soil.
I am thinking to make a topping soon and later start eventually LST.
It becomes very bushy and stays pretty low for now in height.
Smell is already pretty intense.
I can see the internodes really close to each other.
Now I realize it was not necessary to burry it deeper when the stem got long after first week.
I removed the LST from few arms to create some space between leaves.
I still think its not a wise move to defoliate for the moment.
I had some issues in past with other strains probably due to defoliation.
Hello Growers!
Internodes are very close between them and the leaves are lying on each other as you can notice in some of the latest pictures.
I decided to remove LST mechanism from few branches just to create some space.
Since this is your first auto grow I would keep to low stress training only. If you still want to defoliate keep it to 2 leaves at a time and give her time to recover between each mini defoliation.
P.S. Your leaves are very dark green, It usually means too much Nitrogen so try to fix that little by little.
Good luck with the rest lf your grow.
Hello Growers!
There is an IR/UV function of my lamp.
Does it make any difference ?
If yes when should I enable it.
You can check the photo in attachment. There are the specs of the lamp and other info.
Thanks to all!
Hola. La diferencia es que tenes tenes un espectro más completo de luz. El sol también emite rayos uv. Yo los enciendo en fase de vegetales y en las últimas 2 semanas de floración. Ya que favorece la producción de tricomas de la planta. Lo cual hace tu hierva más potente. Suerte
7 days ago while I was asking some questions to our growers someone helped me to notice a nitrogen toxicity presence due to dark green leaves.
The same day (7 days ago) the soil was flushed with 10 L of plain water with 6,5 PH.
At a distance of a week the darkness of the leaves did not disappear (but also didn't get worse...yet) so I decided to flush one more time today with 20 L of plain water with 6,5 PH.
I realized it was not the best idea to mix All-in-One soil with Light mix. (50/50)
Next time I will mix light soil mix with cocco to have less available Nitrogen and eventually control the process by adding it with nutrients.
Still the buds are developing little by little and I hope I wont burn the process.
7 days ago someone here helped me to notice a nitrogen toxicity presence due to dark green leaves.
The same day (7 days ago) the soil was flushed with 10 L of plain water with 6,5 PH.
After one week flushed again with 20 L of plain water with 6,5 PH.
Any advices?
When you feed just give a quarter dose of what you were giving in the nitrogen feed. Your plant mainly wants potassium and phosphorus right now in flowering. Nitrogen is used very little in bulking. If anything it can hinder bud development.
Hi buddy, first of all amazing grow so far :)
Flushing your plants after observing nitrogen toxicity was a good step to help correct the issue. Here's what you can do next:
1. Monitor Plant Response: After flushing, closely observe your plants for any improvements in their overall health and leaf color. Nitrogen toxicity symptoms should start to subside as excess nitrogen is leached from the soil.
2. Check Runoff: When you watered with plain water, did you measure the pH and EC (electrical conductivity) of the runoff? This can give you an idea of the nutrient levels in the soil.
3. Nutrient Adjustment: After flushing, you might need to adjust your feeding regimen. Gradually reintroduce a balanced nutrient solution with a lower nitrogen concentration. Monitor your plants' response and adjust nutrient strength as needed.
4. pH Monitoring: Continue to monitor the pH of the soil and runoff. Maintaining the proper pH range (around 6.0-6.5 for soil) helps ensure nutrient availability and prevents nutrient lockout.
5. Recovery Time: It might take some time for your plants to fully recover from the nitrogen toxicity. Be patient and give them the opportunity to bounce back. New growth should appear healthier.
6. Leaf Trimming: If you have severely affected leaves, you can consider gently removing them. This helps the plant direct its energy towards new growth.
7. Avoid Overreacting: While you've taken appropriate steps to address the issue, avoid overreacting and making sudden changes. Gradual adjustments are generally more beneficial for the plants.
8. Regular Care: Continue providing proper care in terms of lighting, humidity, and watering practices. Healthy plants are better equipped to recover.
9. Observation: Keep an eye on your plants daily. If you notice any new symptoms or changes, adjust your approach accordingly.
Remember that recovery from nitrogen toxicity takes time, and the plants might not show immediate results. Continue to provide a balanced environment and nutrient regimen, and your plants should gradually improve.
If you have any further questions feel free to drop me a DM :)
Good luck and all the best
LOL ... N is important in flower... DNA requires it.. every single cell that reproduces needs N. it's insane people think that the flower needs little to no N i flower... stop perpetuation nonsense. it's wrong.
you might need a 10% less, if that... i do get slight buildup over 6-7 weeks after flip, but the fact it takes so long to see a buildup means it's mostly being used at the same rate, just slightly slower. the plant absolutely needs N at nearly as high of levels as it did in vege.
flushing will fix the substrate.. it will not remove nutrients from teh plant. A plant cannot do such a thing. it has no waste excretion. all you can do is give less N and the plant will suck down what's overstocked in the leaves, then you have to start giving the right amount or you end up with a deficiency.
this is all about rate of use vs rate of provision. you see toxicities and deficiencies when these rates don't match. the close you are, the longer it takes to see a symptom. *** some exceptions - Mg takes 5-6 weeks after the problem starts before you see a sympto.
Mulder's chart is another layer of sophistication to understand in regard to feeding a plant. the indivudual nutrients molecules have relativistic realtionshipis with each other. Add more of "this" and you need to add ore of "that" to match or you run into an issue. Possibly add too much of "this" and you lock out "that" ... google mulder's chart. it's real science.. not peanut gallery nonsense.... made up based on a few plants grown in a garage or basement... no control group.. no understanding of the scientific method.. no verification.. yet, super confident about the nonsense.
