Buds have gotten significantly bigger this week! Hoping to harvest in either 2 or 3 weeks. The smell is rather strong now though, smells like citrus, sometimes earthy, and sweet, yet still noticeably a cannabis smell, but a pleasant one. Luckily most of it is confined to one room, the one where the grow box is in. Have watered three times, once with 450 ml of water with 2 ml/l nutes, and a few days later the rest 550 ml with 2 ml/l. Afterwards I watered a whole liter with 2 ml of nutes. Next watering will be without nutes to avoid nute burn, but the flower is thirsty! I'm surprised at how much water it's consuming so quickly. I have also significantly defoliated the plant this week, nothing massive, but it was a couple dozen leaves at least in total, as it was getting crowded, some leaves kept rubbing against the walls and sometimes touching a lamp, as well as taking off some smaller ones from the middle to improve air circulation as a few budsites are very close to each other and I want to avoid mold. From some of the trimmed sugar leaves I left them to dry for a day and tried to vape them... And my god! I got high!!! I was pleasantly surprised that such a small amount actually worked. Mind you I wasn't stoned or anything but I could definitely feel it! I can't wait for harvest. Sure... I haven't smoked in months but still. It was very rewarding! The latest I'm planning to harvest is at week 12, so by then I hope either they will be ripe enough or just right. I will keep checking the trichomes regularly, though it's hard for me to judge as a first timer. Here's hoping for a harvest to come soon!

Grow Questions

IceQueen420started grow question 6 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!
Solved
Leaves. Twisted

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 🍀

IceQueen420commented6 years ago
@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!!

IceQueen420commented6 years ago
@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! ☮️

@@Fubes72, thank you! Just took a look at your diary and followed it... Very intrigued to see how yours turns out especially the environment you're growing! :D

I think it needs more light I had same issue I put it outside direct sunlight popped those wrinkles out , I’d said adjust lights until they look normal lol

@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

nice plant! mine is going into flowering and is about 20cm tall, just hoping its gonna produce some buds lol

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!
