First tent grow - 80cm x 80cm x 180cm

Hazeykushhash Not looking good. After a full week above ground they are not growing much. I think I over watered the soil before planting. I read somewhere to soak the substrate before planting and subsequently read many different conflicting recommendations to only water gently after planting. I put about 10L of water into a 15L of fabric pots of Canna Coco plus. Also about 7L of water into an 8L plastic pot for green crack before planting. The other possibilities that have caused little to no growth is ..... Possibly too hot in the tent or too much humidity. Light was too far away at the start but since been moved to 50cm. No exhaust fan until now but I didn't think that would cause such damage so early No fans for approx the first week. Very disappointed so far and I feel it's game over already. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thankfully I have one more green crack auto seed that I'm germinating separately to hopefully save my blushes and learn from my mistakes.

Hazeykushhash After thinking the no growth was down to over watering, I learned quickly that the lack of nutrients in coco was the culprit. Fed them quickly and there's definitely more life and growth in them so far. Just hoping the first week and struggle for food hasn't stunted them for life

Hazeykushhash They've bounced back from a nervous start. Ruderalis genetics proving strong and resilient 💪

Hazeykushhash Coming along nicely. Flowers on the way any day now. Would like to see a bit more height in terms of growth. Plants are all very stout. For now

Hazeykushhash Everything seems to be going good except yellow tips on the top leaves which I think is light stress. Lowered the light intensity and put the light up higher in the tent. I'm hoping this won't affect the buds as flowering is just beginning

Hazeykushhash By the end of the week I realised I should have got a bigger tent. Done some defoliation to help light get through and improve airflow because it's fairly crowded in there! Got some nute burn on the biggest plant of all, one of two Gelato auto. Just fed water for the last two dinners. I'll ease her back on the grub from tomorrow. Smell is increasing and proper fruit is hopefully on the way

Hazeykushhash Buds starting to form. Still a lot of yellow tips but I'm hoping it calms down and doesn't affect yield too much

Hazeykushhash Green crack is coming along nicely and buds are looking healthy. There's a younger green crack that's about 10 days younger and looks good. The gelato has suffered a lot of yellow tips and I think it's been caused by heat/light stress. Think this has caused flimsy looking buds but I'm hoping they're still gonna plump up and fill out in the coming weeks.

Hazeykushhash Had to leave them for 4 nights but all was well when I returned. Green crack number 1 is the closest to harvest, probably about two weeks out. Gelato is probably 3 weeks to go and green crack number 2 is about 4 weeks out. Started using Canna PK 13/14 this week.

Hazeykushhash Harvest day is only around the corner. Checking trichomes every second day now. This applies to 1 x green crack and 1 x gelato. I still have a younger green crack and another gelato that are a few weeks away

Hazeykushhash Still a mix of clear and milky trichomes. Not a single amber in sight. Stopped feeding the PK13/14 on older green crack and gelato and started feeding on the young green crack. Not long left I hope. One branch was nearly broken off so I clipped it and had a few small buds that I'm drying out instead of wasting them

Hazeykushhash Bit of a rough week being so close to harvest. The youngest green crack didn't respond well to PK 13/14 and most leaves started drying up and getting crispy. 3 other plants don't seem to be bulking anymore but smelling wonderful. Another problem happened with the light. For some reason the dimmer stopped working and light will only operate on 25% intensity. Disaster at this stage when I was cranking up to 100% for the final week or two. It is now cold in the tent with the two fans and little to no light from the 200w led. On the plus side, a handheld microscope I ordered arrived and I can now see amber trichomes on all 4 plants. Harvest is imminent and flush has begun.
