Last week of vegitation and I've definitely run into some issues this week - mostly as a result of overwatering in the first few.
The plants are all showing some form of magnesium deficiency, the worst have very yellowing bottom leaves and dark purple stems, the best have just a few purple stems. I've given the soil 30ml of Dr Greenthumbs tonic (in 2l of rainwater), and used 60ml of Magnesium Chelate as a foliar spray (in 3l of rainwater) to try and get it under control.
It doesn't appear to have caused too much of an issue yet as the plants have continued to grow well, so hopefully the additional magnesium will sort things out.
The other problem is bugs. I'm guessing these are the result of the amount of water sitting in the bottom of tent over the first couple of weeks. I've since bought a wetdry vac and removed the water, but the bugs are still there. They look like winged ants. but also don't look like they're doing any harm... but I can't imagine they bring good news. I've purchased some organic bug remover and can hopefully get that issue under control before flowering starts.
Hey there!
Glad to see you got a diary going, thanks so much for growing FastBuds 🙌🏼
If you need any assistance, don't hesitate to let us know!
Happy Growing! 💚🌱
Good luck on you're grow, you're plants look great! I love GG - hopefully you get some solid nice nugs! How far away is you're LED from the plants? Min of 12 inch and up to 18 inches away is optimal otherwise you chance light stress - one of mine has gone through this exact process. I thought it was a nitrogen deficiency which I then tried too fix, causing it too be over watered and stunting some growth. All part of the tinkering process.
@Memkasa, That's literally what I'm trying too work out atm whether yellowing is from over watering or light stress, purely because coffee grounds hasnt changed the plant colour its stayed the same so my soil must still be nitrogen rich. Good luck working it out!
@Bashgrowsitall1989, thanks mate. Lights are about 3 feet away at the moment - due to be dropped to about 18 inches in the next day or 2.
I'm 96% sure the yellowing is from over watering. All the testing of my watering system has seen a lot more water go through than I would have liked - but yeah, it's all tinkering... and it's a lot of fun!
