Week 7...day 44. Gave her a heavy feeding in day 43 and also defoliated her a bit. Looks like I will have to defoliate again by week 8. I've been fighting with the temperature, trying to have it stabilize to around 78° but every once in a while it goes up to about 84°. I was expecting her to get a but taller. I'm also trying out different lighting so that could be why she isn't stretching but I still happy with her progress.
Day 46...... defoliated her and gave her a feeding. She's doing great with the defoliations I've been giving her lately. And I've been doing it for the past 3 weeks. I think I'm getting the hand of things now. And for my heat issue, I vented the tent from outside instead of the room, the temperature outside is perfect this time of year so that's in my favor.
Day 47.......came home to a dropping plant. Sad day, she was doing so good but I over did it with the nutrients. Gave her a flush, dropped the ppm to about 150. Hopefully she get over this. Lesson learned, no overfeeding for me anymore

Hey there so in my opinion anytime you're using coco as your medium you'll need to consider nutrients much sooner due to the lack of nutrition available. With soil you would usually wait several weeks. But with yours id start giving them the micronutrients in those first 2 weeks at a very low dose, 1/4 even less possibly just to be safe. Then at that 2nd week if you're seeing good strong growth you could probably add in something with a bit more nitrogen...again though very low 1/4 or less. It'll be much easier to correct a deficiency than any accidental toxicity. And go off what your plants tell you, they make their needs known and all strains are different and need different feeding ratios.
Happy growing ✌️

So I changed out my led lights to high bay full spectrum LEDs. I'm getting a lux of 12000 when lights are about 2 feet above canopy. Is that a good thing? These high bay lights are pretty much cob led...how do I convert lex to ppfd? And what is the best lux or ppfd for my plants?

Wow 120K of Lux ar a big NUmber...... And how much Lux depends in the stage of your growth... Young seedlings are totally ok with 15000-20000, Vegetation 35000-70000, and for Flowering55000 -85000... you can see in thsi Numbers that your Lights are very Bright, ......................................Its Like the Sun on a Bright Day in the Desert.......................................... Well the Resulting actions are clear=? I think so... Happy Luxing

When is the best time to harvest? I'm getting a bunch of different answers, some say trichomes should be 50% amber and 50% milky. Some go by the leaves and some go by the calyx.

Hello! To get a first impression on the maturation of the plant you can look at the buds and see the color of the pistils but be careful because the pistils also change color for other reasons such as stress and you can't trust them very much. The true indicator of maturation is the trichoma based on the coloring and also the shape you can really realize at what point of maturation the plant has reached ... A tip observes the trichomes at various points of the plant even in the parts less illuminated or distant from the light and when a good part of them (about 50%) is amber in color you can also collect the more amber in color the more the sofa effect is recommended for the Indica instead the more they are milk and slightly amber colored the more you will have an energizing effect recommended for the Sativa. Better to wait an extra week to mature even the most internal and least exposed flowers and to have more loaded flowers! I hope I have been of help! Happy Growing!

Exactly as marc said.
I can see in your week 11 photos only a couple of Ambers. So maybe 10 % if that.
Are you trich shots of the same or different areas?
I would like to see some week 12 shots of trichomes 😁. I would harvest in a few days, 3/6 perhaps.

MarcXLanswered grow question 6 years ago
Best thing ist to go by Trichomes, they tell you exactly what you can expect. Mostly cloudy give you more high, 50% cloudy 50% amber give you a mix of high and stoned.
You can say, the more cloudy the more high you get, the more amber, the more stoned you get.
Some strains develop nearly no ambers, then it´s harvest time when the leaves have turned yellow / brown.

She looks happier this week. Are you checking your runoff ppms? Honestly 250ppm feeding is not that high. You may have had a high pmm build up in your substrate. Possibly because every time you defoliating she isn't using as many nutes as when she's in full leaf. Intresting that your other plants didn't have any issues.

@Frosty_farm,I hear you shit happens looks like you caught it in time. It's difficult because one plant of the same strain can handle more nutes than another one that's a bit sensitive in the same batch. I'm still learning how to read what the plants need. I'm grateful for all the great advice from the growers on this site.

@Philindicus, the ppm was actually 650. I forgot to change it on the diary. I fed her last week with double the amount of nutrients and that's how I got that nutrient burn. I flushed her for a few days with plain pH water. Stupid me listened to a want to be grower

@Mrs_Larimar, well these lights are really high bay led lights for Warehouse. It's 5000k full spectrum LEDs. There's only 100 watts each and pull less than 1amp. Which is actually a good energy saver. I'm was testing 2 in a small tent but it was getting too hot. So I'm using one for now. I'm getting about 12000 lux when it's about 2 feet from the top of my canopy

Wildottercommentedweek 65 years ago
I just found out why you got no yield with that strain and a 600 watt led!? You have to water coco perlite 1-2 times a day! Never let it get dry! Ppm should be around 1100 - 1300 and run off 10% . The runoff ppm should not be over 300 more that what you put in. I did the same strain 7.5 oz! Next time 3 oz. suppercrop yes top no !

Wildottercommentedweek 125 years ago
I expected at least 3ozs but 33 g is not right. I grew the same strain ,have about the same light 340 watts and use some ADvanced Nutrients. ,and coco perlite . The only thing different is I didn't top and I got 7.5 oz. but it did get tall and close to the lights. Now I tried some supercropping and I believe that slows it down the outcome also. But now I'm trying to grow 4 autos in a 2x2" and hope to 8 ozs .
