Day 115 - She seems to be doing well after defoliation. Her flowers are bulking up and the leaves are filling in again.
Day 117 - I can't understand why all (including the last grow) of my plants are dark green from very early on in their growth. The leaves are also slightly curled downwards around the edges. I don't feed much for nutrients, nowhere near the recommended doses. Today I have flushed them all in hopes of getting rid of any excess nitrogen. I'm wondering if I may have been too heavy-handed when mixing my soil and amendments. I thought that using organic amendments would be safer. Next time I think I will start with a basic, tried and true soil like Fox Farm and forget mixing my own until I figure this out. Newbie mistake! 😤
@TrueNorth, I think I'll certainly give that a try. I was also wondering if my soil mix might be part of the problem too, since the leaves have been dark since very early on in the grow. She seems to be growing okay anyway.
@TrueNorth, Thank you! I think the nutrients are working well, especially since I'm a newbie and don't know what I'm doing. They're easy to use and so far I don't see any deficiencies. My plants are always a little darker than other people's though. Hopefully not excess nitrogen.
Looking nice 👍 are you going to do a staggered harvest and take the tops off then let the bottom thicken up or chop the lot at same time? I chopped the log on my first harvest but I'm going to stagger the next one.. Verry nice structured plant
@THCandME,pretty much all you do is cut off your crownies (main colas) and let the rest of the plant mature I like to take all the main heads and spread the lower limbs apart asuch as they can handle and after a week all the fluff turns into rocks 👍👌😉
@Coconuts, I didn't know that you could stagger the harvest! It sure would help get some light down to the lower buds. Unfortunately my tent is very full and it's hard to get good light penetration. I'm going to do some research and possibly try to stagger the harvest. Thanks for the suggestion!
