So far all of the plants in my grow, apart from Mandy Capable (Who is beyond recovery and into showing off at this point) have been a dream! Historically I have had seriously bad luck trying to grow plants. (Never tried cannabis before. Just hot peppers and a couple regular old houseplants.)
But I guess if you read carefully and look at all the most common amateur errors, you can come out without too much trouble! We'll see how this week goes.
Day 31 - She's starting to stretch I think! All of her tops pulled up about an inch in the last 24 hours.
Day 33 - She's starting to actually look a tiny bit frosty!
@@@Kinimod, I was told to use p/k during. The first week of flower. Bad idea? It's the only nutrient I'll be using during the grow apart from Bio Root.
@Budcoin, I was super close to scheduling her chop for tomorrow. Going to give her until Sunday, which will be day 55 exactly. Her leaves are fading and her trichomes are maybe a third amber. Thinking I'm going to remove fan leaves and chop her as one piece. Just hang the whole kit and kaboodle up. Our RH in the house is 20-25% in the winter and I want to slow her dry as much as I can. Pics will of course be incoming. :-D Will take pics, prune all of her fans, take more pics, chop her, hang her, take more pics. :-D Won't be able to get a wet weight with a whole plant hang but I'll weigh her anyway.
By the way yours looks super frosty! Sorry for the mishap. Mine had one, too, last week. Dunno what caused her to go all yellow, but I have suspicions*. A flush fixed her though and her discolored leaves didn't die or shrivel so *Shrug*.
*Her first two doses of P/K were me listening to the dude at the grow shop and not reading the bottle. Gave her 15ml of P/K per gallon for three feedings. She didn't get what you would call a regular nutrient burn, so the symptoms were confusing. Someone else said PH lockout, which it certainly looked like, but I had been measuring PH both in and out of the plant. But hey, as I said, flush fixed her so here we are. I think I'm gonna be hitting the higher end of the yield size for her strain. At least I'm hoping so. If I manage 1.5oz I'll feel like I have hero level first grow and retire forever... Or not. :-D
Happy Growing!
Hey there Hexus, have you tested her runoff? Ph could be too low, if youre using good soil calcium or magnesium or any other secondary nutrient deficiency doesnt happen too often. I usually flush if i have any issues unless im sure my soil ph is correct. I suggest to check your soil on time before its too late :) If indeed your ph is off balance flush with twice the amount of your potsize. Let the soil dry thoroughly and follow with a friendly dose of nutrients. Lets hope this isnt necessary. Looking great for a first grow
@ArucambaAutoflowers297, I really appreciate the help! PH is 6.15 going in, and 6.8 coming back out. Been pretty obsessive on PH. The next time she's dry she's getting a flush either way, and then a 1 tsp/gallon dose of cal mag, which should fix her if that is the problem, and won't hurt her if it isn't.
I kind of have it down to one of two (Four) problems at this point, all of which will be solved by the flush, but it'd be good to know the actual cause.
1. I listened to the dude at the grow store who told me to hit the plant with Canna P/K 13/14 at 12-15ml/Gallon for the first week of flower. I did three waterings this way and stopped after five days. So there may be an overdose of P/K. But it's been a really slow, creeping up symptom so I wasn't as sure about it.
2. It *looks* like symptoms of Cal/Mag. Older leaves are getting paler with brown spots, new growth is fairly pale, and slow.
3. She's right in the middle of her last two/three weeks as well, which might be a contributing factor.
4. I actually am just guessing and making a fool on myself, and have no idea.
Here's a pic in natural light in case it can help.

Again, really appreciate the feedback!
EDIT - RE: Natural light pic - I do not spray my leaves with water. This is the first time ever, with the folair cal/mag, and it's not in direct light. Just making that clear.
