Starting out germed in paper towels on 30/11/2018 and planted 02/12/2018. Biobizz Light Mix with 20% perlite added. Top 90% is mixture with top layer being Lightmix only. Watered thoroughly and sat under HID's for 24 hours before seeds went in. Not planning on giving anything until Day 14. 1 Silton - 2 FE Sprouted - 03/12/18 2 FE Sprouted - 06/12/18 Will start taking nice pictures when the good stuff starts going.

First week not off to a flyer, 1 Stilton didn't germ as well as 1 Fantismo Express. One FE might also be dying or dead. Stilton looks like a mutant from the depths of hell. Going to nurse it like a baby and see how we get on. Fed water on Day 7 and Day 12 will prob not add nutes until after Day 14 due to other's comments in regards to being sensitive plants. ** Update ** Looks like FE2 wants some nutrients. This is actually my second ever grow with the first not being to successful, i believe this looks like Calcium/Nitrogen deficiency however /shrug.

Start of week: Starting slow as I don't want to ruin the plant's at this stage, i'm very inexperienced so would rather the plant's didn't read max potential rather than kill them now! :) During Week : 1st nute feed on Day 14. 2nd nute feed Day 18 End of week update : All plants looking decent, i'm just riding the Stilton out and wont mess with it too much, however looks like it's going to need some support at some stage! FE1 and FE3 looking very good and growing rapidly day to day. FE2 had a slight mishap when tucking back leaves...note to self in the future don't force it!

Start of week: Upping bloom feed significantly , looks like they are starting to grow almost 1cm a day now. Thinking of adding another led but not sure if it's necessary. Other than that I'm gonna let them carry on chugging for now, 24 hours of light means there isn't a massive deviation in temperatures so I prob won't change that for flowering. Reminder to add support to Stilton if needed. During week: Seriously thinking of adding a screen as I think these might get to big for the tent! Will not do it this time around because i'm not to experienced however started the process of researching for next time around. Significantly lowered lights as much as possible to try and cover canopy. Looking into a second led to replace the HPS lights. Removed some leaves as thing was something I looked at for my second grow. Dunno if I should take more off will think about it in the next week or too depending on how the girls get on. End of Week : Looking great! Lowered light's so they are closer to the plants and ordered a big 1000W LED which is supposedly excellent. Going to start grow feed next week, will feed FE1 diluted nute's compared to the other's as it's looking like a runt.

Are my plants to tall and skinny for Day 28? I've been told on Reddit that my light's are prob dead by the looks of my plants (tall, with skinny stems that stretch up and they won't yield much due to this. Is there anything I can do? I have 1*800w LED , 2 X HPS 150W Bulbs Thanks

Yeah they are stretching for the light absolutely. If you put the light closer they will be very thankful - but how close? As close as you can while 1- still covering the canopy and 2- not burning the plants. How can you tell if its burning the plants you ask? Simple - use your hand, if its to hot for you after 30 seconds its to hot for them! As long as you aren't burning them and you are covering the whole canopy you are good to move it closer! 😎

Start of week: Looking a lot better than the last time I was here so I'm happy! 1000W LED will be added during the week or towards the end hopefully. Removed leaves from FE2 as a test mainly, FE1 looked a runt a didn't know if she would keel over if I took her limbs. Going to add pictures of the Creme-Tasmo Illuminauto i'm growing also. Decided to wack them all in the same tent because there will be more than enough light. During week: End of Week :

hey @readzer1 , yeah you should be worried and that's not normal. I'm gonna start with the less bad news first. simple overwatering is leading to some issues, you can tell from the puffy leaves especially the wrinkly space in between the veins of the leaves. easy enough to correct : just make sure you're following a stricter wet dry cycle by following the "lifting method" to check if you need to water. second you want to reduce the biogrow to .5ml /L and get the bloom nutes to around 1.5ml / L , this will help the plant grow. make sure you're keeping up with micro because the plants need that in the flower stretch. the nutrient solution and the watering temperatures are much too high you want that at around 21°C otherwise you'll run into problems, just throw some ice cubes in there before you water or something. Now for the bad news, see that leaf cupping and the twisted leaves ? not good ! most likely it's due to root problems due to the overwatering and the hot solution... in soil it's hard to fix that, but not impossible. You'll want to add enzymes to every watering and add amino acids at least once a week - hopefully these will break down the rotting roots and turn them into plant food before the problem gets out of hand. Hope this helps ! 🚀

So thought i'd do an update. I've defo been over-watering this whole time, I'm going to fix going forwards however don't know if would help much with this grow :( Lesson learned for the future. Also seems as if my plants require alot more CalMag due to my LEDS. Again lesson learnt. Hopefully the buds start to frost up during the next 2 weeks and then fatten up from there. If not most of this will go to making concentrates, so not a complete waste.

Sorry for the purple photo's I've removed the HPS lights and put another 1000W LED in. I don't know if i have to much light now? Going decent (a lot better than my last grow!) however some of the lower leaves are turning yellow and i'm not quite sure why. The Stilton is getting fatter by the day and looks a tad dusty however the Fantasmo Express is smelling and oozing resin already!

Keep humidity low and stop feeding ✌️ you could give her a smooth flush with cold water. The flush will flush the nutrients so she know her Time is over and increase the quality because nie nutrients are left in the plant. The cold temps. will give her a low stress which will lead to frostier buds ❄️👌

hey there, you want to get on top of those issue asap my friend ! check out this link to fix your chronic overwatering issue https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/what-is-the-lift-the-pot-method.71758/ let me know if you have any questions ! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, Hey thanks for the help. For some reason these plants feel dry after 2-3 days constantly when lifting up, I would say currently i'm feeding like every 4 days. Going to just get a cheap scale just cause i'm an idiot to try and get a precise as possible until I get the feel for it.
Athos
Athoscommentedweek 56 years ago
To answer your question: There's a couple of issues that you should correct. First, over feeding, you can see some burnt tips and that the foliage has a really dark green color, which points to nitrogen toxicity; second, there's signs of over watering (the leaves that look puffy between the veins). Either the dose is too high, or you are feeding too often (or both), I would dial back the bio grow to 1 ml per liter for now. Now, the curled edges could be due a combination of the nute excess, over watering and there might be some heat stress due the lights been too close. Dial back the bio grow and increase the light distance a couple of inches.

nah man reddit aint all that, you're actually pretty good, it's probably alright having a 13 inch plant after a month. a bigger plant has more internodal space for bud anyway right ? the main idea is that you want your LEDs much lower like around 14 inches from the canopy of your plant, and your HIDs around 24 inches from the canopy of your plant. Even a one inch difference means that the plant will get a lot less light, so you want to keep that dialled in. Pretty much as simple as that homie, more light the plant gets the less it stretches towards the light. does that make sense ? hope this helps ! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow,Hey thanks dude I'm gonna lower these lights tonight and see how we get on! Some of the hid light will be blocked by the led however I don't think those bulbs are to great anyways, looking at buying another led Edit:lowered around 60cm will post pics later tonight!

@CRiSPrGrow,hey dude it's about Day 30 ish currently honestly it seemed really delayed and small however that may be because of my powerful lights. Over the past 2 days it's exploded, very thick hairs all over the place which makes me hopeful. My projection should have it finished around 1st March if you wanna wait a couple weeks I should get slot better idea :p
