Missed weeks 3 and 4. Now 33 days from seed activation. It surprised me she already started flowering. According to Plant Of Life flowring occurs on week 7/8. Maybe the 18hr light period? I was really unsure about the light wattage, but ended up using just 150w. comments will be appreciated. No extra feeding. Data about the soil I used: (sorry they're in spanish) Composición química: pH:5,0 - 5,8 (corregido)* C.E: 0,20 - 0,60 ds/m* Humedad: 55 - 65% **M.O: 80 - 85% **Cenizas: 20 - 15% Características físicas: Densidad Sustrato Seca: 140-180 Kg/m3 Densidad de Partícula: 1600 Kg/m3 Porosidad total: 80-85% Capacidad de retención de agua: 60% Porosidad de aire: 20-25% Agua fácilmente disponible: 30-35% Componentes Componentes: Turba de musgo Sphagnum de fibras medias, Compost de corteza, Cal calcita, Cal dolomita, Agentes humectantes.

Grow Questions

ElDurostarted grow question 6 years ago
It has a a few leaves curling down and they look drier than the rest, something I need to be worried about? I only used organic nutrients, earthworm humus when preflower started (don't know english name... vermicompost?) each week, watered with banana peals tea every 3 or 4 dys
Solved
Leaves. Curl down

Hey there so i see the leaves curling/clawing/drooping...and yes this can be sign of a nitrogen toxicity but it can also be many other things overwatering (hows your soil? Is it taking long to dry or is it muddy) , high heats coulled with root stresses (i see your temps are pretty steady in the 90s and 70s at night), i am leaning towards another option because I'm seeing clawing happening all the way back here in week 7...so youve had at least 4 weeks of this, with nitrogen you should start having leaves yellowing and falling off by now similarly to N deficiency theres usually a color and loss of leaves. If you feel like your additives arent blasting it with Nitrogen id definitely explore these other possibilities..the heat the wind the watering and the roots. If you have access to any kelp products theyre extremely useful for helping roots and heat stresses. I hope you can find the trigger and work it out. Don't give up and keep trying things out. Happy hunting ✌️

High temperatures and dry wheater this whole week. and pouring rain at the end of it, lowered temperatures to 27° celsius and rising humidity to 82%. No more feeding after last week bat guano flora. New buds appeared! I was expecting to harvest this coming week, but this new development makes me think I should wait for one more week. In an anxiety arrest I did cut a couple of lower branches, and two days after that these new flowers showed up. Not sure if it was due the guano or me cutting these two lower branches, anyyhow... welcome you beautiful little buttons! 😁

Had no expectations, it's my first grow. Had her go trhough a slight hydric stress. Harvested today, almost all of it but a very few, very small lower branches. Just to see what happens. Buds are drying now, will make more updates next week.

@Experimentgreen, Thank you! I did nothing and no new yellow leaves appeared, so I think it was related to the start of the flowering stage, same thing happened with my Super Criticial. Soil is a mix of Sphagnum moss medium fiber, bark compost, dolomite and perlite. If you look at the 1st week post you'll see more details. On the 4th week, I added erthworm hummus, less than an inch over the soil. Tried to not add too much stuff because I wanted to have kind of a baseline, being this my first attempt at growing indoor, well, to grow anything at all actually 😀

@Experimentgreen, I'm sorry for the confusion, I don't have the knowledge to do the mix by myself 😇. It's a commercial brand.

Experimentgreencommented6 years ago
@ElDuro, that's great you built your own unique mix. Will you re-amend and start again after harvest using the same media?

She's looking better, back in pistils and flower production! I think you can add a week or 2 to your prognostic because the excess of nitrogen may have slow/stop her grow so she is in late compared to what she should be 😁✌️🏼

Mrs_Larimar answered grow question 1 minute ago hi, i excluse lightburn , because your leaves are nicely green, i excluse overwatering because its just the topleaves, I excluse nitrogenexcess. because no burnt tips, and the colour is no to dark. The most possible thing is a windburn, You already can see it in week 8. Maybe the fan to near/ to strong=? happy growing

hello ElDuro, basically it's hard to say for sure but this looks like light or wind burn. basically if your light is too close or the fan is blowing directly on the plant it can lead to damage. it's easy to fix just move your fan or your light. If you're quite sure this is not what is happening then it could also be micro-nutrient deficiency from the heavy light schedule, just dilute two soup spoons of molasses and add to the water - it's cheap and it's bio ! hope this helps my friend 🚀

3 days have passed since the harvest. I left the plant alive with 3 smal buds and 4 leaves trying to see if she starts prodcing male flowers. I added 4 photos, is that one at the very top a male flower, it's a calyx without pistils. And I think I saw another calyx like this one just an inch below. What do you say?
the end.
