Pretty happy with the growth. Not sure if i should prune or let do it thing. Space isn't a problem so it doesnt need to be tight.

Hello bro ! So the 1st thing you are doing wrong is the PH, in soil you should have a level between 6 and 6.5 PH instead of 5.5 like I can see here. The second thing you should change is your light schedule for a photoperiodic strain no need to give them more than 18h of light , the 20h is more an Autoflower schedule. The others parameters looks good to me except the distance from the light because even if you are using a led it is still producing heat so 12cm from the top is a bit low and you would cover a larger space with 20cm. Now about your leaves issue and from what I can see on the photo rhey are perfectly fine. Usually when you can spot a deficiency from the bottom to the top it is a mobile nutrient one and what you describe makes me think of a Potassium excess with your older leaves curling, with spots on it and that excess lead to immobile nutrient deficiencies such as Zinc and Iron and also a cal mag red due to the excess , you should flush your medium and low your Potassium amount, a flush can help to wash the nutrient excess away and make the balance .I hope it will help you 😁👍

Have had some nice growth. The brown dotts on lower leafs have gone away(fixed the nutrients) have a stronger led light coming friday so maybe it will help the bloom.

I have a new light with a bloom setting hopefully that will make a nice flowering. Got a new fan for air circulation. The new light has cooling fans. Haven't noticed any burns so im happy with my order. If you look at the last few pictures my tent is home made and cheap very cheap. The lights not an expensive one but I think its fine for now.

Not much to say. Buds developing nicely. Just the stems tied lightly away from center letting more light and air into the middle. Im really happy with the look so far.

The smell is pretty pungent and skunky. With a citrus smell if you squeeze the stem. Started the flush this week pretty excited for the harvesting. I'm at the 9th week of flowering. And I think 10 should be enough. I wanna thank @TheBudWhisperer for helping me with all my questions

It was so sticky trimming I did a wet trimm then let them dry for 7days. Then cleaned up the buds a little more before putting them all in the jars. I'll update on the taste and effect when I finally get to try it !. Gorilla glue #4 is up next but that wont be starting till may .. update gave it a little try and is already stronger than the Acapulco gold I bought online

Mine did not smell good while growing either. I like plants with better aromas so I probably won't be growing this strain again, and I'll be giving the rest of my seeds away. It is high in THC though, so it is still worth growing if you like the strength.

@donovanliam, it looks like your buds are doing pretty good. I found that after about two weeks in the cure, the smell is getting better. One more week to go before I take it out of the paper bag and transfer to the MyPharmJar.

Good looking plant you have there compared to your previous grows. You will continue to improve. Yours actually looks like a narrow leaf sativa; whereas, my AG ended up looking like a broad leaf indica.

That looks like good internodal spacing.

It is a 3 part mineral formula , they can't mix the calcium and the magnesium in the same bottle without creating salt so the magnesium is in the Gro and Bloom bottle and the Calcium is in the Micro bottle so I don't recommend you to play with the dosage 🙌

Is that a bucket the plant is in?

@MovingOn, two buckets actually the main one is full of holes and i dump and wash out the other just the to catch water

Is this actually supposed to be Acapulco, not acolopco? Maybe I just haven't heard of it.

@MovingOn,sorry i am terrible at spelling Acapulco. And now my phone suggests acolopco. Thanks for telling me probably wouldn't have noticed.

How did your buds turn out? My Acapulco Gold still doesn't smell the best, but it is really strong. I actually can't smoke it in the morning because it makes me dumb for the rest of the day.

CRiSPrGrowcommentedweek 136 years ago
hey man, vegging on 24/7 is a great idea, really works well + it helps get that veg going quick. Thing is the plant will kind of go into overdrive, which means a faster more intense metabolism. fast metabolism means faster growth, faster growth means you need more plant juice if you want the plant to be healthy. You've just got run of the mill calcium and magnesium deficiencies from the growing too fast. Very simple to fix. Just get some cal mag , probably the flora micro works. See what the label says about feeding quantities , double that to reach saturation, then use that solution in a spray bottle and spray the plants once a day until they're dripping wet. This should fix your problem in five days or so. Hope this helps bro - merry christmas ! 🚀
