Here we go... week 2! Everything went pretty smoothly during germination and week 1. I'm starting to think about nutrients, as i do plan to start feeding, VERY lightly, sometime this coming week. I figure my soil should probably be okay for 3-4 weeks but i'm going to be feeding only 2 of the 3 plants starting in week 2. I'll start feeding the 3rd plant in week 3. I want to see if there's any difference or problems that arise. Day 8: - Temp: 74-80F - RH: 68-71% - no water, reduced exhaust fan speed to 10% at night due to colder outdoor temperature. Day 9: - Temp: 72F-79F - RH: 62-69% - lightly watered with de-chlorinated tap water Day 10: I've now desgnated the plants as "L-1", "L-2" and "L-3", based on their germination and seedling stage growth, with "L-1" being the most vigorous. - Temp: 72-76F - RH: 65-68% - Lightly watered "L-2" and "L-3" with a very weak nutrient mixture using Remo Nutrients' "Micro", "Grow", "Velokelp" and "MagNifiCal". Remo's feeding chart recommends 6ml/gal for week 2. I used .5ml/.5gal... 1/6th the recommended dose. - "L-1" was watered with just dechlorinated tap water. - Both adjusted to pH6.5 Day 11: - Temp: 69-76F - RH: 62-68% - No water - added sticky traps for fungus gnats, which have afflicted one of my girlfriend's orchids in our house. We've quarantined the orchid and will be giving our houseplants a few doses of BTI. Crossing my fingers that they don't cause me any issues in the tent! Day 12: - no signs of fungus gnats in tent - Temp: 69-77F - RH: 62-68% - No water Day 13: - no signs of fungus gnats in tent - turned humidifier off - ambient RH is about 60% - Temp: 69-77F - noticing leaf edges curling. Possibly due to high RH and/or over-watering. - Calibrated pH meter. Was off by +0.3 pH. - Watered lightly with pH adjusted tap water @ 6.4pH Day 14: - No water - Replaced the 24" Sunblaster T5HO fixture with a 24" Sunblaster LED, which now makes two of them. I plan on switching the 6400K T5 bulb with a 2700K bulb in the T5HO fixture. Once flowering starts, I'll pull out the two 6400K LED fixtures and put in the 2700K T5 fixtures (I still need to pick up one more T5 fixture so that i have two, which i'll be placing at either end of my 2x4 tent as supplemental lighting). - Distance to canopy (24w Sunblaster LED): 12" - Distance to canopy (HLG Elite 360): 24" - Elite 360 Light Intensity: 35%

Grow Questions

VanCplGrowsstarted grow question 4 years ago
Been struggling with leaf issues for weeks. Initially thought lockout due to N toxicity. Plants improved after flush in Week 7 but then promptly started worsening a few days ago. Is this a continuation of a lockout issue? Would you feed? Flush? Advice is welcome! πŸ™

Hello VanBrando, i think there are alot of thing you could have done different but thats the past. Lets talk about the future. How i see it you cant do alot to bounce them back up at this stage, so my only advice is to flush them a few days until all the leaves almost are dead or yellow and brown. After that you just cut them, dry them and cure them and hope for the best of it. I do also wanne give you some extra tips on your next grow. Maybe you can train your plants next time a little bit more and train them till the end of harvest. I would open them up much more so theres more light penetrating more buds and also better airflow throug your canapy. I'd also recommend that you defoliate and remove the lower growth that cant or almost has light to improve the buds that are under the light. Hope it was an helpfull answer, i wish u much luck brother. Keep on growing, Peace 😎

To me your girls look thirsty....... and its possible that they have slatbuiltups so go with aflush to clear that.. greetings and happy growing

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks, i'll try that. My last 2 feedings were at 600ppm. I tested my runoff during my last plain-water watering and it was 600ppm, which i thought was odd... Same out as what's going in? The last time i flushed they seemed to improve. I appreciate your input, Cheers!

Added some pics to the week, I see! 😁 Haha. Growdiaries allows nipples (check out the "Naked Buds" contest they ran, it's awesome), so if you want, it could save you some time photoshopping. πŸ˜† Anyways, still glad to see the experiment is going well, good luck!

@MovingOn, Damn, I've been worried they might get flagged but ya, i checked out that contest and looks like it's fine. Good news 'cause i felt like the Photoshoped pasties were taking away from the photos. Maybe i'll swap 'em out for the unedited versions. ;)

After the 48hrs of darkness, the plants looked a bit more frosty but plants #1 and #3 definitely could've used another week. Plant #1 is very spindly, with the smallest buds of the 3 plants.

@VanCplGrows, Thank you! My first grow was eaten by my dog. So this will be my second shot at my first grow. I’m sure I’ll be making many more errors than you.

@VanCplGrows, yeah you can see that! That is the main thing having fun and watching them change is mesmerising for sure! Also got some LSD auto on the go myself, encountered a few issues aswell.. feel free to check out my diary, week 8 coming soon with updates of a whole new issue haha

@Teddy, Thanks man. Those plants had a ton of potential, that's for sure! We're having fun with the grow though and learning a lot. πŸ‘

Too much water, maybe? I only do about a third or less of that per 24 hrs, or even half of that (a sixth of your volume). With around 7tsp of nutrients per gallon, that is a lot of nutrients - could too much nutrients per every 24hrs cause a lockout? (I'm not an expert yet)

@VanCplGrows, you can try to post a "Grow Question". Maybe somebody will chime in with the answer. I know that when I had brown spots like that, I added CaMg+ (a calcium magnesium supplement), and my spots stopped multiplying. I read that calmag deficiencies are common in LED gardens. *Edit: oh wait, I see that you are already using a calmag supplement. Hmm, I guess I just don't know. πŸ˜…

@MovingOn, I normally water every 48-72hrs but it really just depends on the plants. I wait until the pots are very light before i water but i definitely won't be using that "Black Gold Container Mix" any more. It has a tendency to hold water too well and the pot dries out too unevenly, with the outside few inches around the pot becoming bone dry while the core is still moist. Definitely won't be using that soil in future grows. I really feel like most of my issues are due to a lockout but ya, i'm still too inexperienced to know exactly what the problems are... a lot of trial and error going on right now! LOL

Interesting experiment you have going there. I'll be interested to see the result.

@MovingOn, So far, despite a few issues that appear to be affecting all 3 plants equally, the natural growing plant with no training does seem to be larger and more robust than the othets. I'm curious myself, to see how they turn out (assuming i get my nutirents back on track!).

I am a Virgin - Grower that is. 😁 I feel that your plants may have been light damaged from what I researched. https://www.growweedeasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/cannabis-led-light-burn-brown-spots-leaves.jpg I would love to know though. You have very informative diaries please keep it up. I enjoy looking at the ladies too. 😎

@VanCplGrows, do you know how to ask "Grow Questions"? Someone who knows what is happening could probably reply to it, since when you post Grow Questions, they post up on the site separate from the regular feed.

What did your end smoke wind up being like? I'm growing LSD fem right now (1st grow) and I'm planning on growing LSD auto next time, but I haven't found much about how strong it is compared to the standard LSD fem. Thanks
VanCplGrows

@flatblack, Well, we turned our whole harvest into kief hash so I can't comment much on the quality of the buds but it did make some very nice hash! I wouldn't say it's super strong... But it's got a good punch to it.
