After making what I think will turn out to be a mistake in giving the indoor gal a trim, going to be a waiting process to whether I’ve done much damage to her. As for the two in the green house there shooting up and growing some nice height on the plant. Still no real signs of flowering starting but in all honesty no really sure on the signs to look for.
Is there a fool proof guide or way of telling the plant is transitioning from veg to flower? Was hoping I’d start seeing signs by no but in all honesty I don’t really know what I’m looking for. TIA
The colas or the main parts of the plant will start to get really Leafly then turning into hairs and then buds start producing. I honestly don’t think your plant is any where ready for real flowering :) 🌱🤙🏼 Still growing very beautifully
Started to notice a few leaves on one of the outdoor plants, just looking for a diagnosis. I think it’s leaf septoria (yellow leaves spots) but I’m hopeful someone can confirm this or tell me what it is and what action to take....TIA and happy growing 😎
It's more a discolouration than a disease to me. If it's leaves septoria disease then what we can see is the early stage but I wouldn't bet my next harvest on that. Wait a couple days and if the leaf septoria disease if confirmed then you'll need a cooper base anti fungus. I is probably a deficiency at a early stage so keep monitoring
Ya biggest thing is don't over think it and just keep it simple they look good and healthy , and they are not showing any signs of issues doing a good job hours of light will bring out those pre flowers my friend ..
@Cannibalgardens, yeah I’ve been growing my own herbs and veg for awhile, thought it was ‘high’ time I started to add another household consumable onto the list.
@Jwjoh, cheers mate, very happy with how there all coming along although all 3 are growing differently in regards to how far along they are. Going to keep up nutrient feeds on all 3 until there’s more cloudy trichs and change the needs of each plant accordingly 👌🏻
@Puffer_Bill, yeah that’s what I’m putting it down to. All 3 plants have been great, the two outdoor had a few issues with slugs earlier in the grow but nothing that wasn’t too hard to sort out. Another 3/4 and the outdoor will be ready but just waiting on the indoor to start proper flowering 😎
Re: greenhouse... I'm still a total noob but here's my thoughts from a noob perspective XD which can sometimes be the best perspective because your head isn't already filled with set ways!
First of all, look up "12/12 from seed". This is likely what you'll be doing in the greenhouse because of daylight. Nothing wrong with it, you'll just basically be turning non-autoflowers into autoflowers. I've never done it before, but I've put a lot of research into cannabis growing and plan to try 12/12 from seed at some point. Apparently people do it in solo cups as the "Solo Cup Challenge", which I might try some day as well.
Secondly, regarding temp... This will likely be a problem. To resolve this problem at night you could just pull them inside and put them in a dark closet or something. During the day I'm not so sure. Can you heat the greenhouse with a space heater or something? Not sure just how big of a greenhouse, but in my head I'm thinking one of those massive commercial ones, which a space heater of course wouldn't do ;) If you're worried about heat escaping, you can line the walls and ceiling with some thicker transparent plastic. I grew up in a hunting cabin, we had to put plastic over the windows every winter to help keep the heat from the woodstove inside and to stop the drafts from blowing through the house when it was a windy winter day. Otherwise, you might need to build some sort of box with thin plexiglass on all sides for each plant, or a group of plants, and figure out how to heat that. Furthermore, they of course need fresh airflow. So what I would probably do to heat a plexiglass box, is get some sort of heater that's shaped/designed so I can use a hose to direct airflow INTO it (I'm normally for negative flow, where you are pulling air in from a hole and sucking it out of the tent with a fan -- but in this case, you'd need positive flow). Put the heater inside the box with a tube running into it, so that it sucks air INTO the box, and then make a small exhaust cutout on the side and put some fine screen over it. That way you pull cold air in with the heater and push warm air out through the hole. It'd be best to have the exhaust hole down low as heat wants to rise, so if you put it up higher, you'll constantly lose heat and the heater will kick on more often. Where if you put it lower, when the heater kicks on the heat will displace to the top, the cold will displace to the bottom and be pushed out the bottom vent hole from the positive pressure :) Also make sure to keep them up off the floor as well (I imagine tables in your greenhouse but I don't really know).
From what I understand, if the plants get much below 60F temp or so, then you start running into problems.
Due to fan leaves getting on the larger side in the indoor plant, I decided to give the girl a trim to expose some of the lower bud sites to increase yield down the line and make it easier to lst
Started lst on the tent grow and one of the greenhouse plants, the second is a full set of leaves behind so plan on starting that by the end of the week
