This is my very first grow and keeping my fingers crossed for success though I do believe that there are lot of stuff to learn and embrace. Let's do this for the economy LOL!

We are at W1 and things are going well especially since it is a wet season and it is cold which I think they are going to like it. Nothing to worry about the mold at this very early stage.

I did some foliar feeding spray and noticed some side branches. :D The temps are too high but the good thing is that she is strong enough to face those challenges. We can do this! AJA!

I tried to top her and it seems like she is stunted. Have to wait. Also, embracing the challenge of heat in the grow tent, seeing it as a lesson in resilience for our cannabis plants. Just like nature's diverse landscapes, our plants are adapting and growing stronger. With care and creativity, we'll navigate this journey together, fostering a vibrant and tenacious garden. 🌱🌞 #GrowingStrong"

My plants are experiencing some heat stress and my light is currently at 28 inches distance and thinking to lower it but it could hurt more the plants since I just did some LST and topping. Is it okay to lower it down to like 25 inches? What is the best height distance? TY! :)

Your light is not 1000W, It looks to be something along the lines of a SF1000 and that is a 100W led light growdiaries.com/diaries/177406-grow-journal-by-cyborg420/week/995373 You can move it down to 25" and it will be ok. even at 100%. If you want you can update your diary with your lights model. Or make note of it in the diary its self. But I am 100% certain that light is not pulling 1000W from the wall. One thing to note when growing autos. Its best not to do anything that is high stress, This includes topping or transplanting or over/under watering or feeding to much/strong concentrations. all these things can negatively affect the root zone and cause the auto flower to go into early flower, putting a huge dint into your overhead for yield vs time invested. Good Luck!

It's been consistently calm each week and I find myself lowering the branches almost every other day as I experiment to observe their appearance without using a net until the flowering period ends. I might consider adding some support just to be certain. We'll see how it goes. ;) AJA!

I consider this the 5th week, which I'm treating as the 1st week of flowering since they still resembled veg plants in week 4. Now in week 5 (although it looks more like week 6), I've noticed some salt build-up (don't panic it's organic), and within just a couple of days, signs of "nutrient burn" have appeared with leaf tips showing burns. I've already performed some flushing and defoliation by removing the affected leaves, amounting to 60% so far. I'm contemplating whether I should remove the remaining affected leaves, even the smaller ones. I understand it might shock the plants, but I'm keen on observing. I'm also considering top dressing, but I might hold off until the next watering to gauge their response after the recent flushing.

I've observed salt build-up and nutrient burn in my plants recently. I've taken action by flushing and removing 60% of the affected leaves. Now, I'm considering whether to remove the remaining affected leaves and when to proceed with top dressing. Please advise.

In my view enough removing leaves, she started blooming, she needs the leaves, new leaves wouldn't grow, and is an auto try not to stress her too much. For feeding cut the dose so you won't have nuts burn 🍻
