Another week down. Still excited. These things are growing fast now. They are short and stout which is making my first LST a little LST on me. I was being a little too cautious the first couple of days, but then pushed and pulled enough to really expose the new growth sites. It is kind of fun getting in there and working the stems. I'm getting more comfortable with it, so I will need to make the most out of the next week or two.
A problem did arise that I think I have resolved. Early in the week I noticed a few small brown spots and a couple of leaves on a Stilton. Some searches and some reading led me to believe a calcium deficiency. I had just watered with 1/4 strength cal mag and 1/4 strength grow big 2 days prior. It was still too early to water again, but I was really wanting to give her some cal mag. The next day the top of the soil was dry, but still a little moist just underneath. They probably didn't need watering, but I felt they did need calcium. So all of them got some water with 3/4 strength cal mag. Then, the following day, I noticed a couple of tiny brown spots on a couple of leaves on the other 2 Stiltons. Ugh. Luckily, no other spots appeared and the ones that are there don't seem to be getting bigger. I think I have caught up and just need to keep it under control now.
The only other thing worth nothing is the smell. I just started to notice a feint smell when returning home from being away for a while. I turned up the exhaust and have been trying to get the RH and temp dialed in. I'll keep working on that and LST this week. Next watering will have grow big with the cal mag.
@OKgrows, that's the key to it all. Have fun with it and learn from every grow. Seems like you understand this already. Thanks for your kind words and be well.
@Denzul,
Thank you! It has been fun with ups and downs. I keep learning every day and appreciate the help and encouragement. Thanks again and good luck to you as well.
Good luck on your first grow! I currently have 3 White Cracks going too! Also my first go at indoor growing! Grown once before outside with a very poor success rate lol, but the bud that managed to survive was fire! Which is why i decided I couldn't wait until next summer for my second chance! Gona follow along to see how your White Crack do! 2 of mine were really slow to start but have bushed out dramatically after about 2 weeks in flower!
@OKgrows,
Thanks bro! Means alot as a first timer(previously only had a semi succesful outdoor grow last summer). My goal was initially 300g, so 50g per plant. I'm not really sure if i'll make that goal but I'll get close I think(200-250g). I went all in with trying LST as I had never tried it before. Accidentally topped a White Crack adjusting LST and topped a 4AM as it had a wierd growth mutation.
@EelGrows, Thanks! I'll be following yours as well (pretty sure I've already checked it out a couple of times already though). It looks like you will be having plenty of sweet buds! I get excited when I see plants like that. I would be ecstatic to be somewhere in the neighborhood of what you have grown.
Good Luck with your first grow. Judging by your name we may both be in the Sooner state. I’ll be following along to see how your mephisto seeds do. I was really happy with my 4 Assed Monkey and am interested in both the strains you have chosen. Check out my first journal. What lights are you using and what is the actual power consumption if you don’t mind me asking.
@Electro19, Yes, I am just now starting to enjoy one of our new benefits this state allows us. Checking out others experiences here has been a real help in getting me going. I will definitely check out your grows. I am using King LEDs which supposedly use 260W. Hopefully they will produce decent buds until I can properly upgrade.
@@Fingers, Thank you! I have been having fun for the past month or so since I decided to give this a shot. I am still getting that Christmas morning feeling when I go in and peek inside the tent every 15 minutes 😀
