First Season - Greenhouse Grow

Thanks, Yep she is a bit slow. Still pretty happy that I have kept her alive and looking forward to seeing her finish up. I have started another plant today, and am excited to not make the same mistakes twice. Thanks for the Calmag tip, we were gonna brew up a big batch of compost tea tomorrow for the rest of the garden, so I have some calmag in the shed, so will add that to the mix.

Hi me again lol your week 9 pic shows some tan spots on a few leafs i believe it has a calcium deficiency pick up some cal mag for tomatoe plants and a few lower leafs are full yellow your old roots are struggling probably from transplanting . the yellow lower leafs only is a sighn of nitrogen deficiency giving it a shot or 2 of nitrogen rich nutrients wont hurt . it should pick up after that . my white widow auto sprouted with deficiencys i think its a common problem with this strain .

Hi @Pagus! Your plant looks healthy, maybe a little hot (leaves edges are slightly curling upward). Flowering at week 8 is normal for an autoflowering strain, you could even consider yourself lucky since your plant had more vegetative time than usual. Now you need to maximize your chances to get a nice healthy yield, this means no more special operations (no surgery, no scissor cut, and no more LST) until she managed to fatten up. You're going to need bloom (P+K) fertilizer in order to help her building up those buds. You can use a well known brand such as BioBizz, Canna, GreenBuzzLiquids...Or you can do it by yourself, using banana peels, coffee grounds, epsom salts ... If you're not confident about mixing your own just grab the smallest bottle you can find. Be careful now that she's into flowering stage, rain could ruin your crop, consider building a tomato-roof in case of a rainy week. Finally, you will need to take a daily closeup look at your buds, to make sure they're not getting mold, and to find the perfect harvest window. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊

Autos do not start to flower due their age, but their development stage. Growing outdoors is, most of the time, slower due a couple of factors: the amount of light hours which is much less than what you can give them indoors and the temperature, anything below 23°C (73°F) will sow down the grow rate, which is way your plant took so much to start flowering. According to your data, your plant is receiving is 15 hours and your day temperature is 18°C (64°F), which is why its taking so long. Try putting it indoors during the night, that will help some with the low night temperatures

@Pagus Hi there I popped in a possible reason for the leaf tip damage in the grow questions section above 👆 happy grows 👍

Good job Nate!

Looks like theres been some transplanting there . its recommended to finish autoflowers in the pots or plots they are started in . most autoflowers show pre flowers with in the first 30 days . thats where you are now looks like pre flowers most autos will preflower for a week and a half to two weeks then transition to full flower mode and concentrate on flowering till they finish . hope this info helps . i believe your auto should be flowering already at week 9 tho . definately was held back it seems .

hey there hope I answered your question, looks like the root zone got compacted by over watering that's why... anything else you need just let me know 👊

Ordered myself a little LED Jewellers Loupe, Looking forward to it arriving so I can learn more about my growing little buds!

Thanks for the feedbacks, great to get some fresh looks at the girl. Its been a crazy few weeks of weather here, snow changing to +28 C temperatures within the week. Looks to be stabilizing a bit this next week or so and I think that greenhouse can likely be kept between 15 C and 30C - Its been a bit of a struggle managing the extremes till now. The overwatering is likely due to sharing a large garden bed with other plants, and being really rootbound before transplanting after living inside (we got hit with a couple weeks of late snow which really pushed back my ability to move outside). I am certainly another statistic in what seems to be the rookie mistake of overwatering, although i know that i have improved much improved since early veg, but symptoms remain. I will work harder at watering other plants strategically to not end up watering the girls so often. And I will take a look at Humic Acid. . Thanks for the tip on checking for bud rot daily, I will be sure to do that! There is a fan in the greenhouse; which is thermostatically controlled to along with the vents help to keep the temperature from cooking the plants, it oscillates right past the plant so certainly gets some air flow which I am sure will help as well. I started an organic flowering fertilizer a couple of weeks ago, and am feeding once a week, along with the seaweed meal and marine mix fertilizer. I have a pretty rich soil made of compost, worm castings, coco coir, perlite, vermiculite, blood and bone meal and I burned this one and another seedling I grew for my mother, in the early weeks. Another learning has been how gentle to be with the plants, as I have likely messed with them a bit too much during LST. Although I was successful at getting multiple bud sites to get lots of light, I likely was too rough and stressed them too often rather than providing a few days recovery between training. I am looking forward to applying this stuff on this girl and the Lambs Breath which I just started yesterday. The good thing about these short cycle autoflowers outdoor is staggering their start dates and getting some newbie lessons learnt to apply on the next Thanks again for all the comments!

So for anyone that wants to know how to keep aphids off the cannabis when you find them in your greenhouse... just plant some habanero peppers next to it and they will eat that plant instead. Now if anyone could tell me how to kill aphids on a pepper plant, I would be stoked!
