Soaked in a shot glass with distilled water for 12 hours. Then moved to paper towel moistened with distilled water. Put in a zip loc I blew hot air into. Put in drawer for 24 hours
This is my first time growing. This week has been very informative. Learned lots of useful information from this site as well as YouTube. It's been fun looking to see how she does .Also growing Fast Buds 2 of mixed Autos.I'm sure I'll have some blunders along the way. I have wanted to be heavy handed with the watering. But I have refrained. Letting her dry up some before adding more water. Using the finger in the soil as a way of checking.
Start of week 3 . Start of LST . Not sure if I am doing it right. My first grow. Still haven't added nutes just ph 6.2 tap water that's sat at room temp for 24 hours. Soil is 50% FFOF and 50% and 10% of perlite.
Newbie here. Does she look healthy to you guys or am I just paranoid. Lol. I think there is some dropping going on and I swear I see a purplish color on some of the tips.
You're good.... honestly new grower's biggest hurdle is not loving their plants to death. They have a tendency to over react to minor plant fluctuations and cause more problems with their "cures" when none are required. When an issue persists, THAT'S when you know something is going on that probably requires attention.
Begin of week 4. Had problems with clawing in mixed Auto Blondie. She's in Ffof soil haven fed anything but water. Turned the fan so bounced it of tent watered with gallon of phed water till run off. Hopefully issue is resolved. She got a hair cut today to allow more light to bud sites. All the ladies got haircuts and lst today.All the ladies are show their sex and hairs are forming. Clawing is resolved and everyone is looking good. Monday Jan 15th defoliated the girls. Cleaned up underneath where leaves were touching dirt. Jan. 16 all the girls are starting to flower. Started giving them Meigs Bloom nutrients at 1/2 strength. 1 1/2 tablespoons to 1 gallon mixed with 1 tablespoon of blackstrap unsulphurized molasses. Only gave the girls 24 oz each to see how they tolerate. Also lowered the humidity . Trying to keep the temp around 77 with humidity at around 50. Today cleaned up some more leaves on one of the girls.And tied down some more branches.
Day 28 the end of week 4 is today. Really amazed by the differences in the plants from the start of the week till today.
Hi everyone. So I have a plant in early flower end of week 4. I noticed stems have taking on a purplish or red color. It's a Banana Purple Punch so I don't know if it's a genetics thing or a deficiency. Phosphorus?
Start of week 5 . Flowering is really picking up. And the ladies seem happy. Fed with straight water today. All the girls have received a defoliation and lst adjustments. Watered with phed 6.2. On January 20th. Blondie is short and bushy so far only measures 11 inches tall. She has started to show signs of flowering but no real flowers yet. She's running behind alittle for sure. The Banana Purple Punch is measuring at 20 inches tall by 22 inches wide. Fast Bud Mixed Auto Pat Benatar is 15 1/2 inches and 18 inches wide. Mixed Auto Blondie is 11 inches tall and 13 inches . End of week 5. Watered the girls with a gallon each of 6.5 ph water. Blondie is a short girl and she's a little behind in her flowering.
Day 36 start of week 6. Nothing new to report. Day 38 fed girls 2 liters each nutes
.Did light defoliation and adjusted ties for the Lst. Moved light strength to around 85 percent and moved light up a couple inches to see how the react.Day 39 watered with gallon distilled water with Cal-mag phed to 6.3. Each took a gallon of water. Pat Benatar is up to 23 inches tall. Blondie is short and extremely bushy.And only a foot tall. Banana Purple Punch is around 22 into tall. Today is day 42 and end of week six. Fed 3 of biggest plants today. Split one gallon distilled water mixed with between the 3 plants.
Hi again. So my one plant that's in flower is having yellowing of leaves with brownish spots. I'm thinking Cal-mag deficiency? Thanks in advance for the help. 😊
Looking at your diary your giving them 2.05EC, that's quite high especially for an autoflower.
The addition of molasses in the feeding will also boost that EC and add in a shit ton of sugars. I have found anytime I add in molasses it complicates the medium, moulds and bugs come a knocking. You might want to give them a smaller flush and provide a feed without it.
As for the bloom fertilizer your using, The company Meigs does not provide any ingredients on the website nor a guaranteed analysis of it. No SDS's or MDS on the products either. It says the NPK ratio is 2-2-5 on its label but that's not really enough N or P in a fertilizer for a plant, it also says it has micro nutrients but does not list them. The site also sells wellness classes on yoga and shit. its a weird mix of things. I think you can do better with another brand. The about us page says the person makes the fertilizers as well. so they should know whats in it. I would email them asking for a list of ingredients and some lab tests its guaranteed, if they can't deliver ditch it. A lot of what they grow appears to be in soil so soil does not need that much macro supplementation if any at all.
To me it looks like it needs some Mg and some P but is fine for Calcium, maybe it getting locked out with the high EC or its in a from that's not available to plants like Magnesium Oxide as it takes time to break down and become available.
The tacoing leaves or turning tips up of the fan leaves is indicting it is under heat stress as well. 24c should not do that so maybe to much light or not enough water. Can calculate your DLI using PPFD maps for your light at specific hang highs from the manufacture.
on the subject of lighting, 20hrs a day of lighting is also a bit much. plants need sleep and rest, they do things in this down time and 4hrs a day is not enough. I'd aim for 6-8 minimum.
Good Luck!
Stat of week 7 day 43 no real changes. Day 45 the buds are starting to plump up on all the girls. Banana Purple Punch smells incredible. The smell of pineapple and skunks overripe Banana. I hope she's going to taste as good as she smells. Trying to guess the strains from the mixed pack is fun. Trying to narrow them down.
Start of week 8 day 50. Buds continue getting bigger. Seeing a few amber trichomes on Banana Purple. End of week 8 has arrived. Watching the foliage and buds change color on a couple of the girls . Hairs are changing colors and are recede back into the flower. Buds are fating up, and the smell is phenomenal. Only fed nutes once this week. Finished off the week some flushing of Banana Purple Punch. And water for the rest of the ladies.
I looked at your diarie.
You're using organic nutrients
There's no need to hard flush. Just on her last week. Just cut it to water. I see you're giving Mol. Id also cut that and let your soil feed the rest of the plant in ripening. No run off as a slow flush (adding jst water, repeat when it dries and keep doing until you see the plant intake of water drop)
As for ambers (Signs of ambers are THC degrading, but in saying that) the peak of THC in your plant is when trichomes have clouded up. So, its kinda of a give and take.
So, 90-95% cloudy with no more than 20% ambers.
Doing a CBD strain you want as much amber as you can get as it builds cbd.
If I were you, do a 101 on harvest windows. Depending on your likes, type of strain (hybrid, indica you'd lean to push more cloudy, sativa you'd leave more clear for a more cerebral high
Look pal. It can take up to 3-4 crops to get the underlying result correct to your liken. Also, amber % can define how harsh your bud can be against the throat.
Looking at your pic she's nearly there. Start feeding water and let the ripen process finish up by eating what's left in the pot.
Week 9 in the grow tent has been uneventful. The ladies buds continue to fill out and the hairs have turned to orange on .Started to flush Banana Purple Punch. And feel she may be ready to harvest by this weekend. The other ladies appear to have a few more weeks.
Fast Buds Banana Purple Punch. Stevie Nicks is now hanging to dry. The dry closet is 68° with 54 % humidity. Oscillating fan blowing away against a wall for airflow and she's in total darkness. She smells incredible and can't wait for her to be ready.
