We're still going, been working a lot and not had time to log. Final day of week 9 today and they're growing like crazy, noticeable differences day to day. Maybe another 2-3 weeks left. First few weeks went a little rough with overwatering then too heavy on the nutes causing burn and a slight magnesium deficiency. They've taken the abuse like champs though and going strong. Being in FFHF soil I probably should've waited before I started feeding (~week 4) *Note to self*. Both are looking good and starting to get their purple leaves, buds are swelling up. Excitement setting in xD
Wish I could've kept up with daily comparison photos :/
Well I think I fucked up. Pretty sure I've been measuring my nutrients wrong and been giving them around 1/3 of what I should've been and pH meter may not have been calibrated (don't buy cheap meters). One of them is not loving life right now. I think maybe a phosphorus and potassium deficiency.
Day 69, end of week 10. One might be a day later but both will be getting cut very soon I think.
The reason for these deficiencies are the waste nutrient salts build up inside your soil. You need to do a small flush to flush these waste salts away. Use the pot volume in water with pH 6.2 and a low EC 1.0
When you have done this just let the soil dry till the top inch layer is completely dry before watering again. Then you can continue feeding like you did before but this time water (feed) till 10% from the given nutrient solution runs off from the bottom of the pot to prevent the waste salts building up inside the soil again.
Happy growing buddy!
Has a smell and taste unlike any other bud I've smoked. After curing for a while there's a very potent citrus smell. Tastes even better when filtered through water. I'm sure it would've been better if the grow went smoother. I'll probably give this one another go at some point
Buds aren't very dense, kinda airy but I'm sure that's due to the P and K deficiencies and trying to use a single 150w light for two plants. Overall I'm happy :)
@GrowthConsultant, Thanks, I think I was measuring my nutrients incorrectly and giving them about 1/3 of what I should've been giving. I harvested them on Wednesday and about to go in to jars for curing. One of the plants did well and the other just didn't seem to ever be very happy. It was definitely user error though. This is still a full learning experience for me though. Gonna put up some pics of harvest when I get home from work tonight.
Thanks ya'll. This is my second ever grow and my first with Auto's. Successfully grew 12 photo's over this past summer, from bag seeds. Hopefully more success, although I'm more nervous this time around.
