So this week I accidentally ripped the tip of the plant :(
But that's ok because now growth will be even and the plant will branch out.
You can also see that the tip is in a cup of water. It will start to make roots soon and I'll plant the tip in a separate container.
Yellowish color on most of the leaves and the condition did not change after watering.
I suspect it's nitrogen deficiency or some pH problems.
The plant is in pre-flowering, with sex being revealed. Will go into flowering soon.
I watered it with 1.5l
Any thoughts?
@Smells_like_weed_in_here It looks to me to be a magnesium deficiency probably due to a ph related lockout.
You need to feed some CalMag with your regular feeds preferably ph'd to around 6.3-6.5 Then check the run off from the pots ph as well
as it will give you an idea whats happening inside the soil. Once the flowering stretch is over move onto your Flowering Nutes but continue to use some cal mag
thruout the grow Hope this has helped you
I think it was around this time when I realised that I followed feeding schedules for regular soil (giving the plant periods of dry), which was totally bad because coco coir can be saturated with water, and the nutrients were COCO nutrients, so she wasn't receiving enough.
Started watering daily. Difference between the photos is 6 days. Visible progress.
Right now she's week 18 since birth, 6 weeks into flowering (Generative period II), and she still has 6 weeks left until harvest.
A few of the hairs of the flowers have started to turn brown, but a vast majority are still whites.
The soil pH is around 6.1.
Upon documenting, I found out that the pH of the solution doesn't have to stay fixed, and needs to be adjusted for intake of different nutrients.
My mistake was that I kept pH 6.1 since beggining of flowering. :-s
My concerns are that she is showing some slight clawing in the lower leaves, while buds appear to fatten slowly. In picture 2, you can see a flower that's rather young and undeveloped. There are several of these undeveloped "pre-flowers" that have stayed this way for a few weeks now.
Any thoughts are welcome
The girl is starting to look like her flowers are starting to ripe. I think this may be the last week. Two more weeks of flushing after that, and onto harvesting!
I need an opinion regarding an ETA for harvest day
I would say the pistils are about 80% brown, while trichrome heads are still transparent
After a slight nutrient burn, I switched to water + zym + boost, & the next weeks ill be feeding only water
Is two more weeks a fair estim?
Pistils indicate flower maturity, not trichome maturity, a good lens, at least 8x or 10x and watch those trichs. I go for 20% Amber personally, but I also favor indicas, sativas I go for more 35%. I like the heavier, yet still heady buzz.. THC peaks at cloudiness, and slowly begins converting to other compounds when the caps flatten or shrivel, and they turn Amber... After this point the only gains are mass, the buds continue to fatten, but potency will decline relatively.. so if potency is your goal over yields, then max cloudy on the side of Amber is what to watch for.. and over the whole plant, don't forget to check the mid and lower buds too and take an estimated average.. lower finish a bit later... Cheers! Keep it Green!
First of all your buds look amazing, you must be very proud! 👍I think you've got it bang on, I would start a flush as soon as you're happy with the cloudyness of trichomes, and then harvest when some Amber appear, remember to look at the bud trichs and not the leaves! 🌱😁
I might've wrongly estimated the stage, and deprived it of some nutrients. Plant looks good though, the buds are starting to get heavy and unable to sustain themselves, which is nice.
Waiting for trichromes to turn milky for harvest
This iteration had its fair share of issues, and has lived through its veg phase without proper lights. It had its tip accidentally ripped off which seemed to boost growth in all secondary branches, which aligned well with the LST. The harvest was sizable for a noob, and the taste is pretty amazing
