Growing nicely, I hope..? But I've noticed the leaves started twisting, this is especially visible in the day 18 photos. I've tried doing some research but Google's not been the most helpful. My best guess would be pH issues, as I'm using strips which are not reliable. I have ordered an electronic pH meter but unfortunately I won't get it until 2 weeks later. Day 21 update: leaves are looking much better after advice from a grower here! The fans are now on a timer turning on and off regularly which has helped the leaves straighten a bit and the new growth seems to be healthy. I turned off at the beginning of this week the LED bar light as I was worried it was getting too hot and too bright for it. Not sure if it was a good idea but the plant seems not to mind it. It also started getting smelly this week which is very exciting! Most likely going to start LST next week.

Grow Questions

IceQueen420started grow question 5 years ago
Could anyone possibly take a look at my day 18 pictures? The biggest leaves seem to be twisting weirdly and while I'm guessing it might be a pH issue, I would like someone's opinion who has more experience than me. Or is it normal and I'm simply being too cautious? Thanks!

Hey there, so ph can definitely cause so extremely various results, are you checking the outgoing water as well as incoming? If your ph is fairly reasonable even with the strips, my next thought would be possibly wind and air movement, because that'll cause some twisting and unusual shapes even if the air flow isn't extremely strong, but waving the plant around. Your leaves don't look very disrupted to me, so I'd just keep a close eye and watch for any changes. If it gets worse then examine some options and maybe look into watering practices too, over and under. Happy growing. Congrats on the 1st grow.✌️

Hey there so I know you mention using google, but in case you haven't come across it already, i know a lot of people on here have found a good amount of help from the growweedeasy.com site. Lots of photos, examples and tips.

@IceQueen420, lol yea that site has a lot on it....might take us a whole week of non stop clicking to get to the end of it.😄 That's great that your runoff is coming out so good, I've got a couple plants who keep putting out a point or so higher than i input...but it'll work out over time. P.S if you happen to be a science nerd..organic enthusiast or just like listening to things, I've been loving this podcast on kisorganics.com called the Cannabis Cultivation and Science Podcast. 😊

@Experimentgreen, I took a look and well... Let's say I'll spend my evening reading through that website. :-) P.s.: not sure how to reply to your other message... I have checked the run off pH and it seemed to be about the same as the pH when that went in... The fan might be the culprit I think - it was running 24/7 and not oscillating... Put that on a timer now so hopefully it should sort things out. Thanks very much!

@zedoninha, thanks a lot! I can see you're growing a Quick One too, best of luck to you with it! It seems to be a rather forgiving strain. :)

@Lovemabud, hey, thanks! If I can do it I'm pretty sure anyone can :-P hopefully nothing will go wrong! Best of luck with your grow, she looks beautiful and your LST technique is something I should definitely learn from!

I have a very similar grow of the quick one in week 6 now. I’m looking forward to see the results of yours :) Good luck 🍀

@QuickOne, thanks a lot! :-) I don't know if I'm having beginners luck or this strain is quite hassle-free! I've just checked out your diary to see how yours is doing, really curious to see how much using extra nutes (or hardly any in my case) affects the final result. Followed! Peace! ☮️

Hey Ice Queen! Looks good so far. Brown spots could be a few things. Could be from water that was on leaf and it caused a burn. Deficiency could be from the calcium or manganese Twisting of leaves could be from wind burn, high temp, over-fertilization or excess of water. Hope all goes okay!!

@canablizz, hi! Thanks so much for the thorough reply and looking at my diary. :-) I was worried that it might be cal-mag deficiency! Judging by your other comment describing the typical signs of calcium def. It may very certainly have been bothering my flower. Luckily the universal nutes I'm using have cal and mag in them (no info on how much there is though... D'oh) as I can't seem find a premade only cal-mag supplement. Worst comes to worst I'll have to try and make something myself. :-) thank you for the supporting words and I hope you have a lovely upcoming week! ☮️

@Kingjacobs97, Thanks for the quick reply! I did turn off the LED strip a few days ago so that makes sense. Will turn them back on and see how it goes. :)

That plant looks amazing...buds look so juicy and ripe. Now I'm doing my first grow as well and I'm at 7 weeks...you have certainly set the bar high by first grow standards. If i can get buds even close to as chunky as these I will be a super happy smoker

No problem. For a homemade source of calcium: put eggshells in a blender and pulverize. Then I would try and mix it around the soil and give it a good watering.

Worth mentioning my grow box is very small. 30x30x60 cm. This week I only foolishly used a single 25 W CFL light, 6000K. The following week I added the rest of the lights. Soil is BioBizz Light Mix, with roughly 500ml of extra perlite added. Pot is a 12.5 L Root Nurse folded down to make it shorter, as I was scared the full size one might be too big for my tent... As in it would let my plant get too big! Correct me if I'm wrong. Trying to pH the water to roughly 6.5. Go easy on me as I'm very new to this!
