Grow number 1

Bentula316 Seedlings stretched in the propagator so had to plant them before growing serrated leaves but the roots were showing through the starter cube. Struggling with lower humidity

Bentula316 I lost one seedling, I don’t think it could establish its roots. The other one that was the runt to begin with is now thriving. Starting to drop the light down by an hour every 2 days until I get to 12

Bentula316 This week growth has really sped up. Topped it on Friday and started tying her down Saturday and Sunday. Now I’m down to one, I’m going to try and get her to fill my whole space

Bentula316 She’s handled being topped well. Couple of days recovery and she really starting to thicken out. Week or 2 and I think I’ll flip.

Bentula316 Responding well to low stress training. I’ll see how the next week goes but I’m close to cloning and flipping.

Bentula316 Bent her about a bit more this week. Started to really bush out in the middle. Going to reduce light by an hour a day until 12/12

Bentula316 Today’s the first day she’s been on 12/12. Probably should’ve flipped last week as she’s getting a bit of a handful. Let’s hope she’s as easy in flower as she has been in veg.

Bentula316 I let the water run out for a day but brought her back the day after. She seems to be slowing down since flipping. Hopefully she’ll crack on a bit now she’s recovered

Bentula316 She seems to have recovered well from running out of water and there’s been some steady growth this week. Buds are starting to develop. Looks as if I should have a few colas. Some of the fan leaves are turning purple at the tips, I think this is normal for the strain. I have some brown spots on a couple of leaves that I do not know the cause

Bentula316 Thought the leaves getting the spots as shown was a cal/mag deficiency. Used bio balance that helps with uptake. I also trimmed off the affected leaves. Problem came back. Now think it’s a potassium deficiency so have given her son bio floret this morning, so hopefully that will get her back to normal. Light ended up 10-12 inches from 2 colas so they have experienced a bit of light burn at the top of the bud.

Bentula316 The nutrient boost doesn’t seem to have sorted the leaf issue. Buds seem to be fattening up ok. Two colas are deformed at the top from light burn. I’m guessing this may have been the cause that made it hermie. I’ve removed the sacs so hopefully will get some product at the end that I can use for bubble or something

Bentula316 I still can’t get to the bottom of the leaf issue. Ive gave extra nutes that have potassium and calcium but no change. I’m hoping that it has stopped spreading. Buds are starting to fatten up. Hopefully be ready in a few weeks

Bentula316 I think the cause of the leaf symptoms was environmental. I have added a fan between the canopy and the light and it seems to have stopped the spread. The worse colas seem to be recovering a bit. All a big learning curve on my first grow. Next one will hopefully go smoother

Bentula316 This week is the last week I’m flowering. Most trichromes are cloudy and a few are amber. Going to stop feeding it to dry it out a bit and put it in 48hrs of darkness

Bentula316 Simple set up and easy to grow. Smoked for 15 years but never grown anything at all before. End product will defo be better than street weed
