First week all 3 seeds germinated using growers choice recommended method in 2 days, took a full week for seedlings to emerge as I believe I overwatered the soil before transplanting. Had low humidity issues and added vented clear covers to help heat and humidify above seedlings after 3 days and emerged the next day

growing strong, doing my best not to overwater. Added liquid seaweed during the middle of the week as I think the fox farm soil was a little hot for the seedlings.

Stickanswered grow question 6 years ago
Hi @B_Rock913! Well I usually start to LST when the plant has at least 3 nodes, and is a few centimeters tall so I can work on it. If the plant is growing too short / not vertically at all, I raise the light for 24-48h to increase the stretch, in order to be able to do some LST after. Remember that less is more, especially with autoflowering strains, you better not over-do it and be very gentle on bending/LST. Step by step in order not to stress the plant! Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing 👊

first week of adding nutrients, used fox farm grow big and all plants doubled in size within 3 days, moved light a bit closer this week and starting to see good undergrowth. I will start LST training later in the week with pipe cleaners. Also modified my 5g grow bags as I don't think I used enough soil and plants started hitting sides. Week 3 seems to be a success, started LST half way through the week and have some significant undergrowth starting, taking a suggestion and moving my light up to get some higher growth and raise the canopy.

took some recommendations and raised my light for 48 hours, it definitely helped get some more height growth and started my second bend in LST training. Getting a lot of new growth and the tent is filling in nicely!

started the week with a flush with sledge hammer, after 2 days saw it start flowering so added bloom nutes. overall plants almost doubled in size and take up almost all of the 3x3 tent.

going to try and take pictures a few times this week today is the first day, seeing steady growth every day in all except the the back left. Definitely seems different then the other plants the fan leaves are much bigger and not any significant signs of flowering. will follow up later in the week. Id also like to add if my colors look funny in the pictures I use a set of UV glasses and put them infront of the cell phone lens. added 2 more pictures at the end of the week, I think I need a bigger tent as they pop out when I open the door. ones started nice bud formation. If anyone can tell me it seems there is at least 2 different phenos?

pretty steady growth, but the leaves are starting to look droopy. I can't figure out how to ask another question so all input helps. Look like tips are starting to claw everything I read suggests over watering or nitrogen toxicity? Any suggestions?

moved all 3 into a larger tent as the 3x3 was overflowing and actually saw signs of fungus on leaves pressed against the walls, not much bud growth this week on the 2 taller ones and they seem to just keep stretching higher. The smaller one had a lot of bud mass gains this week but also starting to get some browning on the leaves.

pictures show browning on leaves of the smallest in the group, any ideas thought calcium deficiency and added a dose of climagic but no improvement. PH in is 6.8, and PH out is 5.6 any suggestions?

Looks like a Cal/Mag deficiency so I think you were right and remember that already damaged leaves will not recover. If the mottling stops spreading then you have successfully tackled the problem. Good luck.

started flush tonight as starting to see the tricomes get milky, really happy with the production so far as all plants feel very dense nugs, hoping to get a bit more mass over the next 2 weeks but overall very happy so far with my first grow!

looking just about ready what you think? Been using straight water for 2 weeks and buds are fattening up nicely. Checked under loupe and tricomes still seem pretty clear

hey bud, i just wanted to point out, i dont see enough air flow going on in your tent. i too have the same burning. it seems random at times kinda spoty but also burned the tips. its because of where the water pools on these plants when the lights are off. not enough air flow and it collects due and burns when the lights turn on. rather hard one to figure out. but deff light burn. id also add more cal mag tho just being safe.
