peggyo So far so good. I picked the best Durban Poison plant - one was very weak and took it out. The Hulkberry sadly died in soil, have another seed in paper towels and trying again. Raising the humidity was a challenge with an oil furnace nearby with a RH with just 15%. Switched off the furnace and using a heat pump for the house -unless we go below 20F. I now have a small humidifier in the tent and maintaining ~50% RH

I think our new setup - 66-83F w/ cold overnight the temps are stunting height. . Lights are currently 2ft above canopy, 3ft Left to go up in tent. When would you flip all these sativa plants, just topped in last few days?

Your plants are doing great for a 2 weeks old seedling. 66 F during lights out will not harm their development. They are not growing up because you TOPed them, they will grow out. I would fill the canopy before switching to flower, which depends on how big is your space.

peggyo Water day for sure for G13 & Durban. Going to have to up the water this week - last feeding of just cal/mag. Next week (30 days) I will slowly add some veg nutes. Plants have taken the nutes quite nicely, looking forward to next week. Tucking leaves everyday!

peggyo Pretty happy with the grow so far. Couple things I'm struggling within this 4x4 tent. If I turn on both the 315 CMH bulbs, they increase the tent temp too much - then the exhaust fans suck out all the humidity. Having only one light on now, I can achieve perfect temps and RH. But, will need the extra light starting in the next few weeks. Will a 5x5 tent may help disperse the heat? Stretching was 4-5" after 3 days! Had to raise the lights up to 19". I tried to keep them really low for the stretch, but seeing some cupping. Feed last of grow nutes and flipped - water tomorrow then the first dose of bloom. Note: Since Monsanto owns Botanicare, this is the last grow I will be using these products.

peggyo Vortex Cold AF! We have been trying to balance RH and temperature inside the tent during this winter. The dam furnace in the space is a few feet away, RH is 18 in the room, an open window helped cool off the temps - but was able to maintain a decent humidity level using 4 gallon wick humidifier. Up Down - check the video out it's kinda sorta in range. Best we can do when it's 15F outside....

peggyo So... I have been noticing the last few days the leaves are pale overall. I might be paranoid, but I'm thinking a nitrogen a deficiency - so I added tsp/gal Flora Micro 5-0-1 & PH water today. The pale is subtle, but looking for much greener pasture. What's Plan B?

Hi @peggyo! This is a normal thing, since those leaves aren't getting enough light to produce chlorophyll, the yellowing will spread and they should fall within a few days. Don't panic, focus on the leaves that are getting light and doing photosynthesis, those bottom leaves aren't much useful anyway, they're dedicated to the lower popcorn nugs. Next time I would recommend to train your plants (more horizontally) and prune those lower nugs which are taking energy for nothing. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

peggyo I love the smell of cat piss in the morning! This grow in memory of my good friend Chuck. I cut back on the nutes this week, seeing some signs of burn. So just water and Cal-Mag with ph RO water today. A friend recommended a CO2 Enhancer bottle at plant height. We have so much air movement out of the tent, may be ineffective... * Moving into 5x5x7 tent next week that will provide some more space for the grow!

peggyo Rough week for the Durban, went really yellow and developed some brown spots. The rest of the plants are hanging in there, but just yellow over all. I think I found the problem.... 99% humidity overnight! Its been like that for a while, I should be locked up for neglect 😬 This should answer the question on why the plants were turning pale. My configuration of timers @ *stats was a fail. Turned on the intake/exhaust fans 24/7, plants will get cooler at night. Need an all-in-one Temp and RH meter... to turn on fans - if hot or the RH is like a rainforest LOL Added 2 more Sativas to the tent - Huckleberry and Red Dragon

peggyo Durban Poison - Not a gonna be a huge yield, but this is a head tent. When trimming we noticed more oily then sticky - the smell brings me back home to the old school Thai stick. The air is filled with a deep earthy licorice piss aroma, 92 Days from seed to flower - could have done better? Yes.

peggyo Hail Sativa! Durban has been curing nicely, took a few sample nibs off one of the colas... nice morning jolt and smooth. The G13 Haze and Malawi are fatting up, trichomes are 25% cloudy. The aroma is really fruity from both these gals. I'm guessing 3 weeks min harvest from here, this is a fun hobby! New Additions: Hulkberry has been tamed - mostly from long veg and non-optimal cold conditions. Definitely liking the outcome so far. Red Dragon - Some purple coming into play and stacking up nicely. Garanimals started it out a little late compared to the other newcomers - healthy and digging full nutes. We are heading to Amsterdam next week to say hello to the breeders that make our lives better!

Hi bro, i suggest you dont really look at the hairs/pistils They dont seem to show you exactly when your plant is ready (BUT)- When they start to get read however its a first sign that your plantd are "About" 21 days from harvest but if the thricomes are cloudy Go for the flush!, You are using AN nutrients like me, what i like to do when it comes to flushing i like to do it my own way that i belive is the best. As simple as it sounds... warm water about room temperature no ph up or down needed just straight up, why no ph? PH down has phosphorus in it and some ph down also include nitrogen, and nitrogen and all the nutrients is what we are trying to get rid of when flushing👌 wait untill the leaves yellow give it 48 hours of darkness, and you will have some really dank stuff buddy goodluck!

I'd go by the trichomes, I did a little test my last round and harvested one plant off pistils and the rest on trichome colour. The 'based on pistils' plant was harvested early and was not as good after the cure.

Yeah it’s difficult to determine when apart from one sign-the pistils- the plant is telling you it’s harvest time. Personally, I would listen to the trichomes and forget what the pistils indicate. Those buds look like theyd split in two 😉 If they got any more plump. Plus, you don’t want to be left with dull weed if you wait too long. Chop chop!

Hi Peg, nice choice of strain. ACE has some of the best varieties and qualities of Sativas anywhere. Malawi is no different. Very pure Sativa. It stretches a lot. Use tomatoe cages. 3 or 4 ft in height. Top and widen out branches. At this point ur likely going to have to just hold on and hope they stop growing vertical. Have you heard of Cobbing ? If so you should try it with this harvest :). Only takes 1 oz of bud and it has incredible results. Search up Malawi style Cobbing. Tangwena is the guy who shares the method. Golden Tiger , Panama , Malawi , Zamal , are all home run strains if you like pure Sativas. They can take very long. Some I’ve seen go 16-20+ weeks of flower and still have clear / cloudy trichs. Happy growing peg, best of luck with your Malawi 😎

>just hold on and hope they stop growing vertical That's the truth! Loving the sturdy stems... but the chicks might think they can handle much more height. >Have you heard of Cobbing? Yes, and want to try it! This cobbing post is inspirational https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/tangwenas-malawi-style-cob-cure-fermented-cannabis.443405/ Always loved Thai Sticks back in the day - Will try to recreate the experience...
