last day of the third week was intense, it was watering day, I prepared everything, I watered.. then after 35,3 seconds I realized not to have measured the pH.. immediately after, that I have finished dechlorized water. I cursed god, myself, then I redid the nutes solutions using tap water, measured the pH to 6.0 and watered abundantly, flushing, I hope the plant does not suffer too much for the chlorine, I hate making those stupid mistakes.
sorry for my english.
im not sure what to do, should I cut the first two set of leaves or no? they don't take light anymore, I'm thinking of cutting them but I don't wanna defoliate or stress the plant also, any advice?
(you see well in the last picture I posted).
You are growing an autoflowering strain so any pruning can lead to a stress and a slow grow , however from what I've seen a slight pruning can help to get a better light penetration and it's giving a boost to the lateral stems. In your case I think you can remove rhese 2 big leaves 😊✌️🏼
Last week she started growing very fast despite my mistake with the ph, i was a little concerned that the chlorine in the tap water that I used to correct it has a negative impact, but does not seem to bother her at all. she's growing very well.
A slight sweet hearty berries scent start to fill my room, a deep dark purple tonality start coming out of the young leaves, humidity problem solved, a lot of preflowers growth in the middle part of the main stem that unfortunately it's covered, to bring light there I have to do an aggressive defoliation, that I prefer not to do, I'll probably get less density from those buds but i'm impatient to finish so I don't wanna stress her.
i saw a lot of FastBuds diaries here and it seems that I am the only one to grow their genetic without their blessing😄
she start to put some weight, I noticed a strange young leaves curling/bending and after some research I'm pretty sure it's an nitrogen excess, so from this point to the flush I water whit just pk n molasses (I use one tea spoon x liter). the smell that is developing is really complex n unique. 🤤
we're near the end..🐒 I just start flushing her, Im a bit late, the smell it's amazing, so good, when i open the tent I just wanna eat the whole raw plant... the flowers are looking very good n the main cola is big, fat n thick whit satellite buds around it. I just start see some amber trycomes, my goal would be 15/20% amber, the microscope is difficult to use directly on the plant without a stable surface so Im taking down some sugar leaves to check. I think im gonna cut her within the next seventh. :)
Small review on the viparspectra v300 that I used, maybe it can be usefull If someone are looking for a budget light:
Cons:
-it's noisy! if you are growing in your bedroom or living room etc.. keep it in mind.
-the spectrum it's poor, lot of blue n little red, no green, yellow, orange, uv etc..
-it covers a little less than what the vipar claim.
Pro:
-among the made in china's led is one of the best built and has a long and reliable warranty period.
-it's really good for vegetative.
-it's very cheap
to conclude, it will grow your plant quite well but do not expect super results.
