Struggling with these. Came back after being gone for four days and the large one was just flipped over on its side. It’s super leggy but I keep moving the light closer to try and fix. Right now I had to support it up with a stake and lowered light again. The other ones much smaller but seems in good health Not sure where I’m going wrong, but I have a backup going in a cup just in case.

Attempted to fim the large plant at the 4th node, will probably turn to just be a topping as I haven’t correctly done that yet. The large plant was down laying on the dirt when I came home from a trip(I’m thinking pack of water). I propped it up adjust the light a little further away and she’s back kicking. The other plant has a yellowish pale hue that I’m hoping was from too frequent of water. I currently have an auto grow going a few weeks ahead of this so I watered with the grow big from that for one of the feedings, will start to feed this every other with its own batch since the strengths will be different.

One of these does not look like the other haha. One is 10” and growing like crazy (actually looks like my fim was done correctly). The other is really slow starting at 4” and finally working on the fourth node. This week was just ph water. The small one looks a little pale but nothing to the point I want to start messing with nutes (mostly cause of its size etc). Give the slow guy a little time No issues so far, soil had quite a bit of flys in it (had this issue before with the offf). So I used hydrogen peroxide water mix to try to kill the larvae which has been effective before. Doesn’t seem to have worked as well cause my big traps are pretty full. I may try again and cover the soil with sawdust to try to help eradicate them

Added cal mag during the plain water feed and it helped darken the color up to normal. Added the terrace to set up the sog. There’s a big size difference between the two same aged plants but what can ya do.

Full servings of cal mag and grow big every other water. Girls are looking good, I have only kept tucking the branches as they’ve gotten big enough and pulled a few large fan leaves here and there.

Just switched to 12/12. Things are going good with no issues as of yet. The front plant is looking a little light colored and I’m not sure if it’s because it is new growth or not enough nutrients. I may up the doseage a tiny bit (by half a tsp) to see if that makes a difference. Removed large fan leaves and lower growth a little at a time and will clean them up this week as they hit their stretch phase.

The larger plants really taking off while the other s slowly getting there. First signs of pre flower showing in the big one, none in the smaller one yet; switched to 12:12 going into last week May need to continue to slowly up the big plant as is needed. And generally need feeding every three days while the smallest at 4

Pre flower pistols finally showing on both plants. They’re getting water then feed apx every 3-4 days. I am feeding the lrger bushier one a little bit more then the fox farm feeding schedule based on it previously getting a little light colored. Stopped messing with the Scrog this week and am now letting it grow up instead of continued tucking. Removing large hidden fan leaves here and there but nothing serious. Never thought it would be such a pain to water and inspect the back plants when using the scrig. Wish I had two doors lol.

Continuing to use a little more then fox farms feeding schedule shows. Pistols are out and starting to bloom. Next week I’ll lower the grow big a little as per their instructions. Still growing taller but slowing down.

Went away for a week and came back to a handful of lower leaves yellow and falling off. Not sure if that’s due to age or needing more nutes. I gave an extra tsp of each nute with water schedule. Seems to not have more yellowing occurring. The same plant (big one) has the top leaves tacoing and I realized I had the light super close so I backed that up and moved the fan from being directly on it hoping that will ease the leaves. They are still a little pale so gonna up the big bloom and tiger bloom a little more while still lowering grow big.

Been giving the large plant a little too many nutes to try and get the coloring to where the smaller one is. The larger one was paler and when using only water the bottom leaves were turning yellow going to tone it down a little next week Buds are coming in real nixr

Colas on the big guy are getting faaaatttt. Super smelly and the skinnier one is getting very frosted by trichomes. Still can’t exactly get the nutrients right in the large one. Not terrible but not perfect with it being a little pale and some nuts burn. Phased out the grow big and watching them finish up. I took out the scrog screen and some of the branches are struggling to stay up by themselves, Maybe I shouldn’t have done that but I’ll keep an eye and support branches as needed while they get heavier.

Smaller plants colas need to start fattening up haha. Yellow fading colors on the bottom sets of both leaves after I got down to none of the grow big. Going to maybe introduce a tsp of it again to see if that helps.

I thought the yellow fade of the leaves was due to nitrogen def so I added a tsp during watering but haven’t seen any change with that but I’m thinking now it may be potassium since I started lowering it per the fox farm instructions so I am going to go back up to 2 tsp per feeding for the smaller guy. I think she’s just a little further behind in forming the buds since there’s way more white pistols than the big guy. Atleast that’s what I’m hoping. So I’ll go back to what it was earlier in hopes to remedy. Keeping the big plant the same as I don’t see any issues with that. A few leaves changing and dying but that’s normal for this late in flower.

Been struggling a little bit with these gals and their nutes. Yellow fade continues to get worse even though I’m slowly upping the tiger bloom since that’s high in npk but hasn’t done anything. Maybe I’m being too cautious with it. So I added an extra two tsp in the watering cycle of feeding and watered untill runoff which I normally don’t get much of. Only a couple weeks as the big guy doesn’t have many white pistols anymore. The smaller one hs more time and I’m hoping gets fatter since there’s only a few orange hairs

Been feeding these gals way more than I thought I would need to but slowly seeing the color come back in the smaller one. I was always too afraid of upping the nutes too much higher then the fox farms thing says even though they are just recommendations. But just something ya learn as you go, specially since I’ve only done two autos before. The smaller one is starting to fatten up pretty nice and looks more covered in trichomes then the larger one. I’m guessing about two more weeks but I’ll keep an eye on the trichomes

Fed them heavy this week from their leaves continuing to show signs of deficiencies by not having a water this week but two feeds. It definitely helped with the color. The resin is starting to build and grow more on both. I am surprised the hairs are all still so white on the big one but the smaller is changing more rapidly. Had to put a tie around the plants cause the mold are so heavy they’re bending the stalks and I don’t want any to snap. Used some shims from my work shop for the lower support. I’m going to start the flush now as I would imagine they only have a week or two left Trichomes are mostly all clear with some cloudy

Just water, they’re almost done flushing. Moving the lights higher seemed to be good for the trichime production on the big one. I’ll probably harvest in three or four days. I’d say about 80-90% of trichimes checked are cloudy but none amber yet. Still a bunch of white hairs, so I gave them one last watering and once that’s all used up I’ll start the drying process.

I pulled up the lights a little further and only used ph water to flush. Trichomes were all cloudy and 95% of the hairs were amber so we cut them down, wet trimmed and hung in the tent. I saved the sugar leave and popcorn buds to make edibles. I didn’t feel like messing with the little guys. The one plant had some good colas but a lot was super airy, the larger plant had some fat freaking buds all super dense so I’m assuming they’re gonna dry in different time periods.

One plant was dense and perfect buds, the other a little more airy. Super sticker and smells awesome. Can’t wait to finish curing now that drying is done. Just under 8 oz between the two of buds, but I probably have an additional oz and a half or two of clippings and popcorn buds I’m gonna use for edibles.
