So this is a complete beginners experiment for me and I am praying this diary doesn’t make me look stupid at the end! Hubby grew years ago and spent an absolute bomb on all his equipment and has little to no hope this will be successful! I want to see if I can use a small tent with a couple of LED grow bulbs and some simple nutrients. I chose these two strains as they’re advertised as compact, easy to grow with a chance of an XXL yield (although I’d be very happy with a small one!) I have no idea what my grow technique will be so any ideas for a clumsy, heavy handed beginner will be appreciated! (Terrified at the thought of breaking one of my babies!) Using a small 60x60x150cm tent with fingers and toes crossed it’s going to be big enough. These pictures are both plants exactly 7 days after they sprouted. I was a bit worried that one was very thin and long and the other had a couple of leaves that had curled. But this seems to have resolved now. Only watered once so far. No nutrients as I bought a special soil mix that states none required for the first few weeks.

Congratulations on starting the best and most rewarding hobby one could have! So far you're doing great! Just remember come harvest time dry and cure correctly it's is where the magic is either made or lost .. I wish you the best 👌.. Goodluck and happy growing! ✌️

@Crownlaura, just keep her between 50% and 60% RH and the cooler the better mids 60s to 60 degrees if possible... I used terploc bags for curing just remember to burb those jars and pay attention to the smell.. if it gets an ammonia type smell the bud needs to be taking out of jar to dry more.. you got this! Goodluck!
Crownlaura
Crownlauracommented8 months ago
@Hempface86, Thankyou :) I already have glass curing jars ready! Drying worries me because it seems like a bit of a delicate process. Curing should be pretty easy as long as I get the dry done properly though, right? As long as my patience holds out 😂

Sieht gut aus , über luftfeuchtigkeit würde ich mir jetzt noch keine Gedanken machen , zur blüte wird das aber sicher nötig wenn du nicht gefahr laufen willst das die alles wegschimmelt. Sollte deine Lampe richtig angegeben sein sehe ich da auch ein kleines Problem beim Hersteller ist sie mit einer max ppfd von 40 angegeben , ist je nach strain etwas unterschiedlich aber empfohlen ist ca Keimung bis 300 Wachstum bis 600 Blüte bis 1000 , wenn du ein wenig Geld zur verfügung hast würde ich auf eine kleine Sanlight oder Mars Hydro gehen , deren Spektrum bietet dir dann auch alles für Wachstum und Blüte. HIer ein Beispiel welche ich gerade im Run auch zur Unterstzützung laufen habe. https://www.grow-shop24.de/sanlight-q1w-50w-2-generation?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAloavBhBOEiwAbtAJOwm-01lIRlcpEj8NuWdwCmov3FeljrlBIsGC6o5z6GdjymgiqalrURoCkF8QAvD_BwE falls der link ausgeblendet wird , die Lampe findest du unter " SANlight Q1W DIM LED, 50W, 2. Generation " Der Rest scheint ziemlich gut zu laufen , du scheinst ein gutes Händchen zu haben . Viel Spaß weiterhin . 🙏👌

@Crownlaura, Dafür sind wir ja eine Gruppe hier und tauschen uns aus . Fürs erste kannst du auch versuchen eine Schüssel mit Salz oder Reis zu verwenden im zumindest etwas Flüssigkeit aus der Luft zu ziehen . Ich habe mein Follow hier gelassen und wenn du Fragen hast zögere nicht dich zu melden . LG 👆🙏

@Budz_Bunny, hi there thanks so much for the info. I have always thought there is a good chance I will need to upgrade those lights (I have 2- one for each plant) and they don’t have different settings or strengths. They were advertised as seeding/growing/flowering and at the time I set up, money was limited and the price was pretty great so I decided to go for it and hope for the best! I am thinking of adding a little dehumidifier in the next couple of weeks to avoid a mould problem. I went into this with zero expectations but now I’ve seen how well they seem to be doing, I would be devastated if something went wrong lol. But I really appreciate the advice so Thankyou :)

Hi Buddy You can cut off the lower leaves without having a bad conscience, it will soon get too little light anyway, but don't cut off too many leaves, I would cut off a maximum of 6 per plant so that it doesn't have too much stress and the large leaves that cover the side shoots can also be removed bit by bit as you have enough mass. Or guide the side shoots past the leaves. Carefully bend the tip down so that the side shoots grow even more because the tip is no longer the highest point. Once they have passed the leaves, simply loosen them again and allow them to grow normally. It is better to bend down a little more each day and pre-bend the shoots with your fingers (warm them up)

Crownlauracommented9 months ago
@AcidBurn_40, thankyou for the advice :) I’m a little worried about causing any further stress as this morning, the nutrient burn on one plant seems to have gotten worse. I’ll keep an eye on them for the next few days (done a big flush today) and as long as I can see growth and a few more healthy leaves sprout, I will defoliate slightly to give them more room. I’ve tucked a few leaves and manipulated a few stems like you advised so fingers crossed!

@Stony_German, oh I do love them. Checking on them is the first thing I do when I wake up and the last thing I do before bed. What I lack in knowledge I make up in love hahaha

You have a.Nitrogen toxicity, this slows growth alot, also, do not feed until run off, unless growing in coco coir. The soil need oxygen and watering prevents it from getting into the roots... wait until the soil is dry then feed only water for 2 weeks or until a lighter green. Feed alot less water to help airation.
Crownlaura
Crownlauracommented9 months ago
@@OrganicLivingSoil, brilliant thankyou. I guess if I’d known this last week I could have avoided any real damage. I’m guessing no nutrients were needed at all last week annd I should have just let the soil do its thing for annother couple of weeks. Every days a learning day here!
OrganicLivingSoil
OrganicLivingSoilcommented9 months ago
@Crownlaura, Nitrogen builds up in the tips of leaves, causing darker tips, downward curling and slower growth. looks fine now, just check the PH of each watering, 6.2 to 6.8 is perfect and will allow all nutrients to become available to plant.
Crownlaura
Crownlauracommented9 months ago
@@OrganicLivingSoil, hi Thankyou for your advice. Can I ask what you saw to indicate the nitrogen toxicity? I’m not doubting you at all (my week 4 pictures show you are 100% right!) but in week 3 pictures, my amateur eyes did not notice any signs at all.

Great diary, enjoyed the read and congratulations on the grow!

So, bit of an update on sticky orange. The nutrient burn looked slightly worse this morning but only on the brand new top leaves. So I’ve put her in the bath and given her 2 good flushes with luke warm water. PH from the run off is 5.9. Leaving her in the bath for half an hour and giving her a good shake every few minutes to get as much water out as I can - I don’t want to replace nute burn with an overwater issue! Purple skunk seems happy so my conclusion is that S/O doesn’t need half as many nutrients as P/S. taking a plant out of the tent has given me space to give purple skunk a good inspection and boy are her branches getting thick!

First diary error - the smell! The smell has been really mild when you walk into the room where the tent is but today (day21), I’ve been able to smell from across the hallway:/
