10 weeks / 70 days old today. Buds are all a bit fatter and a bit frostier this week! They glisten in the light and and are well and truly coated. Noticed a few leaves with brown spots this week and after reading up I decided it could be a calcium deficiency. Gave a cal mag feed and monitored and no more brown spots have appeared. We’re pretty close to the finish line now so not sure I’ve done the right thing or whether I should just let it be. Few more old leaves at the bottom started to yellow so chopped them. Some trichomes are starting to turn milky but majority are still clear. Haven’t bothered with a picture because it’s so hard to get a clear one. Still taking up lots of water and giving 3ml of bloom nutrients in every water. Been reading lots about flushing and I’m not sure whether to do it. Read lots that say if it’s cured properly then there isn’t any difference to the taste. I think half the battle is knowing when to do it. How does a beginner know when you’ve got 2 weeks left?! Been tempted to chop off the popcorn buds and so glad I didn’t. I put some bulbs lower down to give them plenty of light and they’re fattening up pretty well. Bit worried again about the space issue. Lots of new pistils have sprouted and most are around the top buds. Read that it could be foxtailing due to light stress but could also just be buds fattening out and having a last try at pollinating 🤷🏻‍♀️ who knows! Overall another exciting week getting closer to the finish. Booked our summer holiday for August and trying to decide whether to start a new grow when these finish. there’s a risk they might not be done in time but I’m desperate to try again and improve on this one. I have well and truly got the grow bug!!

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
Crownlaura
@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)

@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!

70% lieben deine Girls. Erst in der Blüte must du vorsichtig sein. Gute Arbeit bisher du machst das schon Buddy. Viel Freude mit deinem ersten Report.😎

@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.

@@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!

@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
Crownlaura
@@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.

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:/
