First grow with reverse osmosis water, let's see how it will turn out.
* Germination started at 15.03.2024
* One day later booth seeds opened up
* planted them into 2L Gronest fabric pot filled with pro7 all mix
* watered them with pure water and canna calmag agent
26.03
One girl is developing much stronger then the other one, but booth are going well, they have a nice green and are still kept under high humidity and temperature. I opened up the upper air passage a bit and extended the distance to the lamp from around 40cm to 60cm.
31.03
I removed the germination lid and stored them under the sanlight evo4 80, since the soil started to show up some algea.
The LED is dimmed to 30% and had a distance from around 35cm - I extended the distance to 40cm now.
Anyway, booth plants are showing some kinds of burn and I am not sure if it is nutrient burn or light burn or if there is something missing. Looks a bit like MG deficite but shouldn't the plant take that from the soil in that state and age nor shouldn't the need be really high. Maybe it was just the high humidity caused through the germination caps.
Since this is my first grow with osmosis water am a bit unsure what to do and I can't water them anyway, since the soil ist still wet. Let's see how they develop the next days with removed germination caps and changed environment values.
02.04
The burn didn't developed further, so it looks like the change to the environment was enough. I still didn't watered them but did some LST with weights yesterday in the evening.
03.04
I watered the smaller plant, since she really need some water (~900ml), the bigger one isn't ready yet to be watered - beside that they are doing well, seams like the issues I had are solved for now.
04.04
I also watered the bigger one of booth plants with ~900ml
06.04
Moved them back to the old spot, since I need the space. They are now serverd by two sanlight Q1W gen2, beside that I removed some of the unhealthy leaves and made some more LST

Your plant isn't old enough to see a visible Mg-deficiency. It may or may not be present but it doesn't show a symptom for 30+ days after the defecit of Mg begins.
Mg-def would have interveinal chlorosis and spots - starting lower on the plant (mobile). This is not seen. Get a left symptom chart. Don't go by word of mouth for symptoms. Once you reference it enough as you learn to refine your fertilization methods, you memorize it by accident.
Hard to tell for certain, but before looking into nutes, i'd ask about watering habits. If you don't allow the top 1" to dry (a more superficial layer, if coco) before repeating, then you are possibly causing the dead ends with overwatering.. this would more often be interveinal to start, but .. possible still. Looks a bit mottled on the one leaf and that's far too early for age of leaf points toward overwatering too.
Even so, looks like a N-deficiency. I see the coty is a bit faded at tip. LEss likely a s-deficiency.
I looked at diary.. light is a potential issue too. i see the tacoing reduced after you drew it back. You might want to just see how the light adjustment continues to play out as well as fixing any watering habits. As long as the plant doesn'tshow continued progression* - soil is always some guessing due to current state of nutrients in the soil.. supplement more each week but starts of slow with unique needs. Take notes even if it was less than ideal results. if you use the same soil next time, it'll be a very similar 'ramp up' as before. do better each time until you have a very healthy plant seed to harvest.
08.04
Nothing special - continued the LST from last week and removed a few leaves
09.04
Watered of the two with 800ml and continued LST
11.04
Unfortunately I made a mistake during LST and broke the main stem of the bigger plant, so I decided to top it.
12.04
continued LST - I won't document that for the next weeks but I will continue LST until second week of bloom.
13.04
Watered the other plant with 800ml
14.04
Nothing special to add, just continue LST like I already did last week
17.04
The bigger plant is still developing so much stronger and started to show the first signs of beginning bloom stage. Am a bit curious about the smaller plant but she didn't show any further problems then the small growth - I just guess it is the result of the problems I had at the beginning.
20/21.04
I checked the PH level of my osmosis water after I added Canna CalMag Agent and measured 5.8 - I think this is a bit to low for a soil grow. I start now to add 100ml tap water to every Liter osmosis water and have a PH level of 6.5 and EC of 0.5 before I add the Hesi nutrients.
The smaller plant is finally showing the first signs of bloom but the growth is still stucked, leaves are super small and the height of the plant is only 15cm. I will rethink my plan for these booth plants, because I will start the blooming stage for my main grow soon.
25.04
I moved the ladys to a new spot so they don't disturb my main grow during blooming stage. The smaller plant is also in blooming stage now. I stressed her a litle bit more, the other one finished the stretch.
29.04
I watered the plants and noticed some weak spots on the lower leafs of the bigger plant - I think it is missing P/K since the blooming stage is already in an advanced state but the hesi scheme doesn't add P/K yet. So I will start to give some Canna PK 13/14 next time watering the plants. Beside that they where really thirsty - it's hard to pass the right water time with that small pots - won't use them again.
03.05
Defoliated the smaller plant
05.05
I started to add some PK and Boost Nutrients since the lower leafs of the biigger plant are turning yellow. Beside that I watered them today again with 800ml
09.05
Watered the plant with 800ml but without PK Nutrients since some leafs showed some spots of nutrient burn. Still playing a bit around with the nutrients I mix.
10.05
The bigger plant is still struggeling a bit. after some talks and readings it could be a nitrogen deficit but am not really sure how if I should react to it, since the need of the plant should get less for nitrogen in the next weeks. There is also some nutrient burn on booth plants - I think this is because I added the Canna PK 13/14 way to early and way to much. With the next watering I plan to add Hesi Phospor again, so I do fertilise like the Hesi Scheme for week 4 of bloom.
Beside that I removed some stems and smaller buds on booth plants.

If you answer to my grow question please be aware that I use osmosis water mixed with 100ml tap water per 1L osmosis water. I have then EC 0 and PH 6.5. Afterwards I add Canna calmag to EC 0.5 before I add the Hesi nutrients scheme.

Hey man imo don't react to it yet, it could be just a natural shade of the plant , yellow is still a color and if the leaves don't die off then it's not a nitrogen problem. Especially if you know your ph and feeding is good. Goodluck
13.05
Booth girls look a bit damaged through my testings with the nutrients last two weeks but it looks like I was able to stop the deficit. They are raising the leafes to the light again and look all in all fine. I watered every plant yesterday (12.05) with 800ml
15.05
watered
18.05
watered the smaller plant
22.05
What a wild grow, one plant looks nearly ready, the other one ist just taking her time. I will take a picture of the trichomes within the next days even if I dont expect the plant to be ready but let's see.
For a test grow, to test my new nutrient scheme, water and some hardware it was absolutely necessary. I was able to react extremly fast in my other tent and am happy how it played out.
Also I needed to change the tent because the zipper of the GrowPro was broken plus I replaced the whole light setup with a Sanlight evo-4 80.
23.05
I checked the trichomes of the bigger plant. she is nearly ready in my opinion. I watered her with clear RO water and added only my canna calmag scheme. Will repeat that one or two times more and afterwards I will harvest this one.
26.05
I harvested one of booth plants and put her directly into the freezer - I will mak Bubble Hash later out of it.
30.05
The other plant is some kind of weird since she isn't developing anymore nor is she really developing some smell. I still can see some signs of over-fertilizing so I stopped to add my nutrient scheme and only watered her with osmosis water mixed with a bit tap water and canna calmag.
03.06
As I already wrote last week this plant isn't developing like I would expect it and I guess she has some kind of a lockout due to the over fertilization. I removed all nutrients except calmag from the water middle of last week and she is starting to finalize the trichomes, they start to get milky. I will continue what I do until the harvest. The typical smell is completely missing on her and the buds don't develop further but as long as she finalize the trichomes am happy about the grow since it was only a test run anyway.
09.06
I finally see some progress again, leaves are loosing their colours and the trichomes start to get more milky beside that I see the first amber ones on the sugar leaves. I think it's the lasst week before the harvest. It's not top quality in fact of all my testings I did to her but am happy about the grow and also really happy that it comes to an end slowly. I learned a lot with this grow again and really feel like I made the next step for myself in growning my own stuff when I took the learnings from here and see how my other grows just participate from this one.
As I mentioned already within this diary, this was only a test grow and I messed up with some stuff. I had two plants, one of them was ready super early, had a nice smell and developed really well, even with all my mistakes. The last one just stoped to developed from some point and didn't produced a smelling or developed the trichomes anymore correctly. As you can see on the trichomes picture they were more or less milky so I decided to put her down to make a last test with her. I bought a dry ager for the drying process and put her to the last test through that ager to learn how to use it and find some good values to dry my weed there.
Am happy about this grow, it helped me to make the next steps in my growing experience and I learned a lot. 😍
