This was a fine plant to grow and responded well to a well controlled environment. She was a bit finicky at times, showing deficiencies on the leaves with PH fluctuations but it was also my first grow ever, so I wouldn't attribute that to the genetics but rather rookie growing practices. So yes, as a rookie grower you can achieve success but you just have to be careful and diligent with your growing practices. Smell beautiful! Like a really concentrated and intense blueberry and cream smell. Near the end of the grow the larger fan leaves started changes to yellow with brown spots even though I maintained the PH, EC and nutrient feeding schedule. Not sure what happened there but I've read that this is normal with plants that are close to reaching maturity. She took a good amount of time to mature in my environment and as a new grower I probably chopped her slightly early. The trichomes started to amber and I got anxious and didn't want the THC to degrade too much so I chopped. Even though the plant was showing opaque amber, clear amber and cloudy trichomes all at once. With experience I'll be able to nail this process down more in the future. She's curing at the moment very nicely, no troubles. Would recommend growing this plant.

Grow Questions

TonyTrichomesstarted grow question 5 years ago
First time doing LST and am wondering about clipping the fan leaves that are in the dirt and covering the new growth nodes on the main stem. Is it cool to cut these fan leaves in order to expose these new growth sites to the lights or would you recommend I just leave it? Thanks!

@ajr0327 by all means trim any leaves that are making contact with the soil as it could lead to problems from infections also you remove any leaves or lower branches that will not get adequate light to grow anything worthwile . I'm not a fan of defoliation for the sake of aesthetics or fancy techniques and I only do it when its for my benefit or the plants health requires it. You see the leaves are like "fuel" for the plant they create cholryphyl which is then converted to energy so that the plant can grow. If too many leaves are removed the plant will suffer too many growers solely rely on the nutrients they feed their plants forgetting that without the adequate foliage those nutrients will remain in the soil rather than be taken up and converted to energy .

I have a deficiency. Can you please check out my pics and give your advice? I thinks its a Magnesium deficiency, am I correct? Increase CalMag? Flush with extra water? Any tips would be helpful.

You grow in coco,leaves showing absolute magnesium deficiency,my bet is you didn't feed each time you water up until here.In coco,try to feed each watering.its not like soil,it needs to be fertilized any time you water it.especially calcium and magnesium are lacking.burns at leaf edges are caused by skipping feeding and giving only water.they surely had some amount of exces nutrients and when you stop adding nutes to your watering,they tried to absorb excess minerals with that nuteless water,amount of water is not enough for them to absorb completely and this happens.experienced it before,a few times and I'm pretty sure about it.feed each time and add some magnesium.if you see serious nute burn on your leaves,flush once only,then add some nuted water again.

@ChefDan420, yep! I'm glad I had read about that on Reddit before this happened to me or I would've probably freaked right out and panicked. The tape seems to be working perfectly!

Humidity minimum 60 % and ph in 6.5 area , otherwise even all bottle of cal mag wont help ... And it looks like you have that issue already ... Hang wet cloth in grow area to put humidity higher. Fresh grow very healthy, dont ruin that ! Old leaves can go .... Just in steps and when they will be in shade. No leaf can touch soil... Good luck !
