DavoGrow Grew seedling on the windowsill for the first week until my lights arrived. Im going for a rather budget grow. Going to purchase essential things and slowly build the equipment up as I learn more (and can afford it). The soil I'm using is Terra Professional Plus. Ill be buying a bag of perlite and will mix that in to about 1:3 when I repot to the 20L pot. Please feel free to give me feedback at any point during the grow 🙏

DavoGrow Lights arrived this week. Im running two 85W 5500k CLFs which I have suspended in my hot water cupboard. Much better than the window sill in the lounge. Have been to a few shops with nutrients. Currently looking at a few options but not made the purchase yet. Will buy some in the next week! Grow is going well considering the not so ideal start. Just a little smaller than normal is all. Fitting for a dwarf! 🙏

DavoGrow Growing as usual! I have some very small discolouration on the leaves. Its almost like tiny silvery streaks at random places on the leaf. It looks very minor at this stage and growth looks fine apart from that. Im buying the Biobizz Tri-pack tomorrow to begin watering with nutrients. Will add more pics as the week goes on. 24.Sep.18 - Have made a light tobacco spray to deal with the thrips. Im going to spray daily and monitor. Apart from that small issue, growth is going well and I have noticed the first pistils appearing. I wish I had my light set up earlier so I could have capitalised on the first week. Does anyone have any idea how large she will be come harvest time? Considering flowering has begin now. 🙏

DavoGrowstarted grow question 7y ago
Does anyone know what the really small silver streaks could be? Im growing in a cupboard which is a consistent temp of 22 Celsius. Have checked undersides of leaves for pests and cant seem to see anything. Is it a nutrition deficiency. I have not used any fertiliser yet.

Hello @DavoGrow ! The silver streaks are indeed a sign of thrips and the other thing at your leaves that looks like dried saliva is called honeydew and can be produced by many bugs like thrips, mealybugs, scale bugs and others. Just keep an eye on it and if you want you can make a preventive spray. I like to use natural pyrethrine. If the thrips are in larva stage its a little difficult to see them but you can see them. They are like very tiny white maggots crawling at the under side of the leaf and they camouflage them selves by moving at the nerves of the leaf . If they are adults you will see them very easy and they look very scary but they are harmless for you. Happy growing ! 👊

DavoGrow Growing nicely. I have a fan now keeping a breeze on her. Gave a very weak amount of nutrients as I introduce them into the watering. So far I havent needed very frequent waterings as it took quite a while for the soil to dry out.

DavoGrow I missed the first few days of of flowering. Apologies! hairs have sprung up all over the place and its quite exciting. I changed the watering nutrients to 1ml/l of both top max and bio-bloom. Im fairly sure I have the thrips population under control now too.

DavoGrow The flowers are starting to fill out a little more. Ive got the feeling that its going to be a nice little stumpy dwarf just like advertised. Smell is still weak and not an issue at all. I have noticed that the soil is drying up a bit faster than earlier which means shes drinking up the nutes.

Man I'm looking at your diary and your plants are exactly what I thought mine were going to be. A short bushy fast flowering strain. And then all of a sudden my plants go crazy and have quadrupled in size the last 2 weeks
