Added Cal-Mag at the start of week 3 at 1ml/l - increased to 2ml/l very quickly as the Tangerine Dream showed signs of calcium deficiency (yellow spots on leaves). New leaves showing no signs of discolor so this seems to haves been quickly rectified.
Other than that, no problems at all this week. The LSD drinks like a fish but is slow to add growth, and the auto Blueberry seems slow, too. Hopefully they will have a spurt in late veg/early flower.
Hopefully all the plants will be healthy and strong enough for a little LST in the coming week.
@420Somewhere,
alright, im doing about the same...i'm gonna start upping the amount I think. I've noticed that each time I water them, they really start to perk up.
you could have taped the broken branch,it would have recovered after that.But anyway,don't worry.I was too afraid to LST in my first grow.The point is, just make sure those branches you do LST on see the light better than its previous position.
By the way,your nutrient amounts look a bit too much.4ml/lt is what AN advices for selling more products.2ml/lt is my way to go with AN nutrients.Your plants look healthy and solid green but giving that much nutes could cause problems in flowering phase.I just let the plants grow the way it grows.I feed them,train them,make sure they get the light and good ventilation.That's what I need to have wonderful buds.
And I would give water each 4-5 days.Overwatering doesn't happen when you give too much water but it does when you water them too frequently.
I just wanted to share my little thoughts with you.I started growing for the same reason.I didn't want to pay to weird assholes for damn low quality weed.Hundreds of liras for only 1gr of crap product.I choose which strain I want to grow,take care of them and get over 100gr of quality product each grow.
I know how it feels in first grow.Every little thing can scare you but don't worry,cannabis is really a resilient plant.Once you get your buds,you'll be proud of yourself.Just let it grow.Your plants look good in this phase of their lifespan.Getting tips and listening to people's experience learned me a lot.I really wish you beautiful buds at the end.Don't worry,you will.
@HighRoller909,
We'll see how it goes over the next week. If there is the growth I expect I'll add a scrog at the start of flower.
The topping seems to have helped the 3 plants that I did it on for sure, as they're flattening out the canopy much wider than the others.
Appreciate the info on nutes, butbare in mind that's basically just 1 feeding a week, with just cal mag#ph'd water in between.
I'm getting better at watering and have understood it more in the last week - learned to almost saturate the coco then leave until dry, allowing roots to expand/contract and grow - at least that's what I have read is best. I have read a lot and learned a lot on here - especially from other's diaries.
If I can get 200g a grow from this tent I will be happy - although I will probably need to add another 300W light for that? idk. I'll only need to do 2 harvests a year and be in control of everything, never having to be around people who I would rather not be, even if it is only 10 minutes a month.
Thanks for your help. Appreciated.

Just joined this site today as a Noob and have PEA in a cart out there ready to ship. Thought I do some recon before it gets here and this is how I find you. You my fine person already have someone looking up to you on your first grow right here.
Nice.
The flowering of your plants looks to be progressing very well. There not much better than watching the flowering nodes begin to take shape and form beautiful buds. I'm eager to see how your grow finishes up and I wish you all the best in the rest of growing these girls. Cheers :D
