The plant stretched to 71cm before I ran out of vertical space. The top cola was blocking light of lower bud sites, so I bent that bad girl over. Still having issues with lowest leaves getting mottled colour and yellowing. Using molasses and 15-15-30 fertilizer.
Hello, I just noticed that some of my leaves are starting to have slight discoloration and some holes. See images in week 6. I don't see evidence of bugs or mildew and my fan may have been too close for the leaf with holes. I feed once a week and have switched to a high K feed.
Hey there CannabisTrope, I cant really say for sure 100% because you're not showing me your feed or your pH, but I'm seeing the symptoms of the very start of a phosphorous deficiency. You can tell from the "splotchy-style" deficiency you're seeing , this might get worse and turn colorful. Just make sure your "high K feed" also has an appropriate P content for a good NPK ratio during flower. You caught the thing very early so hopefully the plant will recover quickly. Hope this helps ! 🚀
This is my first time growing cannabis. My original plan was to grow as cheaply as possible using my own version of a space bucket (garbage bin). I may have to reconsider this as space becomes limited and smell becomes too strong. I have been enjoying it so far.
I am wondering if my CFLs (115W total) are leading to a slightly taller and bushier plant. It looks really healthy but worried that she is going to stretch a lot during the veg to flower transition.
@growdoctordc, Thanks, I have 115W above and 69W around the outside shining upwards. I am still somewhat limited in space, but she has slowed down considerably, so hopefully I don't run out of space before the end. To the novice, the buds are looking great and the leaf discoloration is not progressing rapidly through the plant so I hope I caught any deficiencies.
I have been enjoying it, so regardless of the yield I am happy with the progress.
@CannaTrope,
It DOES look healthy. I looked at pics before I learned you use a garbage bin. Great idea as a mini tent!
Fluorescent power diminishes more than other lights. Only the leaves very near it are receiving light.
LED has better penetration. HID the best, but comes with a bag of concerns.
If your using household bulbs, arrange them so they surround her, not just from above. That might have helped.
But lower leaves naturally yellow and die. You’ll still get bud.
Better light = better bud... to a point.
Great first grow! Enjoy it!
