Second grow. Using HLG 260w Qb and Hyperfan stealth 6 inch attached to a can lite carbon filter in a 2x4 Mars hydro tent. Growing in 5 smart pot with 60% peat moss/Perlite pre mix and 40% forest soil and organic compost. Germinated seed in paper towel over 48 hours (could've gone into the soil by 24 hours as the tail was already peeking). Potted on the 15th and Day 1 pic is 24 hours old from potting :) - Day 2 misting twice a day with river water. Going fine so far. - Day 3 all good - Day 4 going steady - Day 5 nothing to report - Day 6 growing nicely - Day 7 looking okay

- Day 15 she's growing quite well. Gonna start with veg nutes this week and a bit of lst after. Fingers crossed - Day 16 another round of stims in 1L of water with some veg nutes. Hoping for no cal mag problems but as soon as I get some egg shells I'll do a soil amendment - Day 17 going well. Added some crushed egg shells to the top soil and mixed it in for some organic cal mag. - Day 18 all good. Gave her 1L of plain water for a change. Going to try giving nutes only once or twice a week. - Day 19 added some more egg shell amendment to the soil and mixed it in the top layer. - Day 20 1L watering today with plain water and some LST - Day 21 a little more lst today but she's looking good!

- Day 22 all is well. 1L watering with some nutes. - Day 23 all is well :) - Day 24 gave her 1L plain water and did some light defoliation of the big fan leaves. She's nitrogen sensitive it seems so gonna cut that next week. - Day 25 all is well :) - Day 26 trying a 2L plain watering today and will see how she reacts. - Day 27 she seems to react well to 2L watering. LST'd her a little more today. - Day 28 she was already a little droopy today from underwatering. Thirsty girl. Gave her 2L watering with 3ml root juice and 0.25 ml fish mix per litre as she had a little nitrogen burn. Also noted some early signs of cal mag def but i noticed it only after the watering so next time I'll give her some Epsom. She seems to be a little fussy this one.

Hope to not run into any cal mag def - Day 33 looking good so far. - Day 34 gave her a 2L watering with some nutes. Started with bloom nutes this week. Hoping she goes well. - Day 35 looking good and she's starting her stretch.

Grow Questions

Gr33nFi3ldstarted grow question 6 years ago
Leaf tips on all my grows turn upwards slightly. I'm using a 260w HLG Quantum board LED light which is about 2.5ft away from the plant and temps never get higher than 27 degrees with about 60% humidity. Could it be calmag deficiency?

Leaves. Curl up

Hey there, this does not look like calmag deficiency, those curls usually indicate something to do with root problems, which seems likely after almost three months of heavy feeding , your PH is a bit high due to the Alg-a-mic which is causing some issues at the roots. Instead of a plain water feed / flush the next two weeks, try adding an enzyme to this stage, like cut out the nutes like you were going to but flush with either enzymes for two three weeks or another flushing agent the last week and hopefully it will break down the problem roots and the plant will recover just in time. Hope this helps ! 🚀

To grow her was very easy. Just as long as you go light in the Nitrogen in veg you won't have a problem. Maybe even add a terp booster towards the final stage of flowering to increase the smell and taste. The buds are 50/50 dense to fluffy. Certainly not as dense as my previous grows. The smell is a bit more on the mango side and a slight note of citrus and sweetness. Overall definitely not as flavorful as I'd have imagined, even when she was in late stage flower. The high however is nice and relaxing. I grew this for my significant other and she is enjoying it very much. Not too indica and more of an energetic head high and not too much couch lock. I'll give her another go sooner or later but I'm not that impressed.
