I started 4 seeds 10/12/18 all 4 popped and have been planted today (14/12/18) in autopots with a 50/50 soil/perlite mix with a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom, I am also using the airdomes from Autopots. The soil was prepared with 50g of BioTabs Startrex, 5g of BioTabs Mycotrex and 2 BioTabs BioTabs. After planting Each pot was soaked through with 1 litre of water with 1g BioTabs Bactrex and 5ml BioTabs Orgatrex.
Fed 5ml of Orgatrex and 1g Bactrex on 21/12/18. Seedlings have really stretched as I had my light dimmed too much (It's new!). Buried the stems and gave them 500ml of water with previously mentioned nutrients
My ladies seem to be getting over having the extra stem buried but as a result are not very central in the pots. Lights are dimmed to about 50% at the moment and autopots can probably be switched on before the end of week 3
Coming along nicely, Going to allow plants to use up the litre of water I added on day 21 and hopefully switch AutoPots on around day 23 - 25. All the plants look healthy, although I suspect one has a genetic mutation as all the leaves look chewed up. Still not decided on topping but I better hurry up as they all have 4 - 5 nodes now!
Couldn't bring myself to top these beauties so I have been heavily LSTing and leaf tucking. Keeping the plant low and horizontal. Many of the smaller growth sites have started to grow upward. Flowering is starting and I expect a big stretch over the next week or so.
I have noticed some yellow tips, even on new growth as well as the older lower leaves this leads me to believe my plants are either being burnt by the light OR I've fed them too much nitrogen and may have a touch of nitrogen toxicity, as a precaution I have halved the amount of orgatrex I fed this week. Please comment if you think you know what the problem is!
Most of my new growth is showing yellow tips as can be seen in the photos, some older growth is also affected. Some tips are also curling under. I believe this to be nitrogen toxicity or light burn but would love a second opinion, what do you guys think?
Really dark green leaves, check. clawed leaves tips, check; yep you have nitrogen toxicity. Stop feeding, give plain water at least until the leaves turn light green. Also, I think you could also have signs of wrong pH, there are a few leaves with curled edges; get a pH meter and check your water and feeds pH.
Plants seem to have gone through their stretch this week and I am happy to see many flowering sites forming. All plants seem to be recovering well to my earlier poisoning with nitrogen. I Had to refill the 47 litre reservoir for the Autopots for the first time on day 42. Only really worried about the mottling showing on some leaves, I am going to observe a while before taking action as I don't want to repeat previous mistakes. If it's obvious to you what is wrong please comment below.
A couple of the plants seem to be getting close to harvest. I also believe all my plants are showing light burn to some degree so I have dimmed the light, the damage is clearly already done but if I can get away without causing anymore damage that'd be great. Lots of lessons learnt the hard way this grow so far!
Two plants are very close to harvest and I plan to chop the first on day 63. trics are mostly cloudy with a few amber appearing. The ones closest to harvest look a little worse for wear due to their age and my heavy handedness earlier in the grow I think, already looking forward to trying to fix those errors in my next run.
