Got This as a present from a friend and startet growing it Did really well in the first weeks I had to cover it with a net because I don't want to get any pests on it. Some other plants were attacked by cornborers which almost comletely destroyed my plants

This week passed by pretty good Hope my plant will get bigger and won't get into flowering phase too soon But if it does, it doesn't matter. It will be my first harvest, so I'll be happy no matter what comes out of it.

The weather is suddenly getting pretty cold outside so I have to take the plant inside so she can sleep in a warm place. The next few days should get warm again Found a bug on my plant on Sept. 24th, think they might be thrips After removing the bug I sprinkled the plant with a rape oil and water solution

Didn't grow much this week, but the weather is getting a little better. At nighttime she stays inside. The weather will get colder soon, but I'll buy a LED (300-600W) so that the plant can stay inside. The top of the plant is looking kinda sick, might be because of the thrips which i found on it in week 4. The leaves are getting black tips and wrinkly. I don't know what might the problem, already asked some people and they told me they've never seen something like that Also fimmed it on Sept. 28. Never did it before and I really hope that it didn't slow down the growth too much

My plant has got some Problems. The top leaves are getting black tips and fingers start to get thin and wrinkly. My thoughts were it could be too much humidity, phosphorus deficiency or some kind of pests Does anybody know what the problem could be? I'm thankful for any advice!

Hello ! Take a look under your leaves and if it is a pest invasion you'll see bugs there , if so then you can use neem oil (natural) or any pesticides (chemical: so stop at least 1 month before harvest to get rid of chemicals). I think that you just starting to get deficiencies and if you'r only using Supervit you'll have more in the future , I think it is time for you to use some nutrients to help the plant to get the nutrients she needs to thrive well. Your day/night temps are too low so I bet your RH is high and your medium is not drying quick so you should give her less water to avoid any over watering issue due to the lack of heat. I hope it will help you 😁👍

This week wasn't really anything. The only thing that happened was that the leaves got worse and worse. It doesn't look like there are any pests on it and I'm sure I don't overwater it. Got a 300W lamp and installed it over the plant in a improvised "grow room" Now I want to wait a while and watch it if it gets better with the new light. Didn't have much time this week to uptade and take better pictures

The Plant has gotten worse. The head leaves are looking super weird and I really don't have any idea as I've never seen something like that.She's clearly suffering, but I don't know from what. Also, I've got a new LED. What spectrum should I use? Full spectrum or just veg? Hope y

Hey user, sorry to say you probably have broad mites. they are microscopic pests that you can only really start to see at 70x but you need even more to see them properly. So what happens is that they crawl under your leaves lay eggs and suck the plant juice out the leave stems. There's not much you can do although some growers do try to fight it. So you can mix neem oil with a little bit of hand soap and spray the plants especially under the leaves. Otherwise you can try to buy a couple of foggers and run them at 5 day intervals. These little pests are really hard to get rid of, but that's the danger of growing in soil... hope you make it through this ordeal ! 🚀

I think it slowly gets better. Forgot to say in the last week that I've used neem oil on it as some of you told me there could be some pests on the plant. The top gets kinda bushy and looks like some kind of vegetable to me, but I've spotted new, healthy growth on the plant and I think this might be a good sign. I'm thinking about topping it because it looks really strange, but I'll probably wait until next week and watch it grow. Also started to use some nutrition from hesi

I've accidentally switched the lights to 13 hours some days ago(please don't ask how lol, must've been pretty high while "optimizing" the light schedule), and it started showing sings of flowering. Or is it just pre-flowering? Anyways, I just switched it to 12/12 today, even though I wanted to give her a few more weeks to grow and recover. She started gaining height, but shows many symptoms. Is this a lack of nutrients? I'm feeding her with TNT-Complex from Hesi, but it only got worse Another thing that I noticed is that my Candy Kush is much heavier than another, much taller plant (Power Plant, 6 weeks old) that I've got a week ago. Feels kinda weird to lift a much bigger plant and it weights just the half of the smaller one

This week was kinda neutral. The plant just does what it's supposed to, and I'm happy with that. Also started giving her Blooming Nutes. Only things that I notice are that the leaves around where the buds will be are getting thin and the tips are getting a light green/whitish color. Is this normal? The other thing is that older leaves get worse. I guess it's normal but like that? What might be the issue or the reason? Hope you guys can help me out, I'm thankful for any comment

This week was fine She grows pretty good, and I've finally got a normal grow tent Only problem is that there is bad ventilation und the humidity rises up to 70%, and that's not good. Are there any other methods to lower humidity?

The buds get thicker, and thats a good sign. I could manage to bring the humidity down to 50% so therefore there shouldn't be any more issues for now I also did a small experiment with some seeds I've picked from a field, just put them in soil and now it's been 3 weeks and they didn't grow at all but they've already shown their sex while being so small. This looks cool, so it was worth it

This week was like the last week. Didn't happen that much, but the buds got thicker. Hope they'll get bigger, because the plant is small and doesn't have that many buds. Hopefully she concentrates on developing thicker buds, due to her size

She's bouncing back nicely 🙌 , new leaves seems to be normal (or will soon be) and the feeding will help her at that stage , the burnts on the edges of your leaves make me think about a potassium deficiency ( the slow grow could be due to this ) but your fertilizer will help for that 👍. Nice work

Hi @UserNo420! I'm afraid you're having broad-mites / russet-mites, these invaders are very hard to spot, they usually expand in cold environments, and make the leaves look like this. In this scenario I would use neem-oil, in your waterings + as a foliar spray. Mix 12~15 drops of pure neem-oil for 1 liter of water, add a teaspoon of soap for the foliar spray to stick onto leaves (not necessary in the medium waterings), and see how it goes after a few days of use. I'm afraid it's a bit late to get rid of the whole colony, if you still have this issue in a few days, I'd recommend to look for predatory mites, ask your local growshop if they have those or if they can order it for you. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Hey, thanks for your help:)I've been watching the plant but i couldn't spot any kind of pests on it. Or are they that small that you can't see them? I think I'll just buy some neem oil today, just in case there is something on it

@MUDBUG, damn I just checked her roots from the pot bottom and it looks like there is fungus, mold or whaterver on the roots! I'll send a picture of it in a sec and start checking online what to do in such cases if it really is mold :((( Thanks for your comment man, I'd never come to the idea that my roots could be affected!

@Mrs_Larimar, hey, thanks for your help :) I can't find a reason either, also I asked in two different growshops, one told me it could be too much humidity, low temperature and it needs enzymes, the other told me it definitely doesn't need enzymes and I should wait until next week and come back to him as he will probably know more. The only " fertiliser" I use is Hesi Supervit, but I started using it where the symptoms were already there
