All of the seeds germinated. The OG Kush CBD and Kush 'N' Cookies went into solo cups with plastic bags over to keep the humidity in. The Auto NLs went right into solo with clear cups over them to keep the humidity in. 2 of the autos broke the soil quickly. I think the third I may have put in the hole upside down so it took a little longer to break the soil.

All of the domes have been removed and I'm now watering in rings around the seed to encourage root stretching. I only used Cal Mag last week, I started using the main fertilizer in a reduced dose this week. I'm struggling with controlling the climate in the grow tent. I'm experimenting with fans and adding moisture in creative ways.

The plants are all starting to take off. The OG Kush CBD and Kush 'N' Cookies have been moved into their fabric pots. I'm starting to figure out how to control the humidity and temperature in the grow tent. I added a humidifier and that has helped a lot.

This week the Auto NLs were bent over for LST, and the Photos Kush 'N' Cookies and OG Kush CBD were topped to begin the mainlining. The humidifier has been acting up. The tent hit 100% RH and there was condensation all over the tent. I had to wipe it down then let the rest cook off before I could turn the humidifier back on.

I started adding Fish Sh!t fertilizer as it was recommended to me by the guys at my local Hydro shop. I am continuing to do LST on the Auto NLs, and I did the second top on the Photos. I accidentally cracked one of the 4 new mains on the Kush 'N' Cookies. I taped it and I'm hoping for the best.

The Auto NLs are showing their first white hairs. The cracked stem on the Kush 'N' Cookies has recovered. However, I cracked a main on the OG Kush CBD and it has not recovered. I am staying with Veg Nutes until the end of this week. The plants are transpiring so much water now that I'm struggling to keep the tent warm enough.

The smell is getting pretty strong. I had to get a better Carbon Filter that allows more airflow. Now I have so much air going through the tent being pulled from the cool, dry basement that the 315 LEC light is struggling to keep the temperature up. I added a small space heater pointed at the intake fan to help keep the temperature up in the tent. As the temp goes up, the plants look much happier. I started the Flower Nutrients for the Autos. The Photos will stay on Veg nutrients until I harvest the the Autos. Then I will switch the lights to 12/12. Until then, I will keep mainlining and topping the Photos to keep their extended Veg period growth in check.

Grow Questions

Livewire99started grow question 5 years ago
I'm not sure what's going on, but the tips of several leaves are twisting over and/or turning white. I don't know if it's a nutrient deficiency, nutrient burn, I don't think it's too much heat, but maybe due to sun burn? I'm not finding much luck about white leave tips online.

Hey @Livewire99 from the looks of it I do believe it is minor light burn. I dont believe it is a nutrient issue because they look healthy it is just the upper leaves. If anything take a look at this website it covers alot of options. https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/light-burn

The autos all started to stretch and so I raised the light as high as I can. I bumped the nutrients up to full strength part way through the week. I did some trimming town low, especially on buds that will never get large. I'm noticing the lower leaves not looking too hot, but I'm reading that's normal as the plants progress through flowering so I'm just pulling off leaves as they die.

The photoperiod plants were crowding out the autos, so I had to do a drastic topping. One of the autos (NL #2) was getting too tall so I tried doing a super crop on a few stems and it seems to have worked correctly. I'm hitting the target range for harvest according to the breeder, but it's obvious that isn't correct, which is why I decided to top the photos to show their growth down. To compensate for the lost height and increase in distance to the light, I put the middle plant (OG Kush CBD) on some pitchers to raise it up.

The NL Autos put on some weight this week. The Photos were cut down and are recovering nicely. This was a pleasantly uneventful week.

The short Auto is still bulking up, but the other Autos are stretching a lot. I'm out of room to raise the light so I'm hoping they can survive so close to the lamp.

I think 2 of the 3 NL Autos are getting close to harvest. The short Auto is covered in frosty trichomes with a few turning amber, so I'm going to start flushing with PH'd water and Fish Sh!t. One of the tall Autos has a lot of orange hairs but not a lot of Trichomes so I'm not sure if it's close to harvest as well. The third still doesn't have a lot of Trichomes nor orange hairs so I think I'll give it another week. If I cut down the two that seem close at the end of this week, I'll be switching the Photos over. They're getting really tall again and I'm out of room to let them bush out.

This is my first grow and I'm not sure when to harvest. I have one plant with lots of frosty trichomes and a few orange hairs. Then another with a lot of orange but not a lot of frost. The third seems to be behind with mostly white hairs and clear trichomes. See pics Dec 16.

I would go another two weeks at least, maybe three. I don't see any Ambers yet. And the buds still have some filling out to do.

The strength isn't the strongest, but my tolerance isn't the highest either, so this is working out pretty well. It ended up growing much longer than I anticipated. My plan was for the Autos to take about 8-9 Weeks start to finish, then I would switch the Photos to flower. Instead, they took 15 weeks and I had to chop the Photos in half twice. Either way, the Autos were freebies from Seedsman and they grew really easy, especially for a first grow. I now have 10 ounces of nice, dry, cured bud and another full canopy in flower!

Now that the autos are harvested, I cut the photos shorter and set up a screen. I vegged them for a few days so they can get situated in the screen, but on Sunday I finally flipped the lights to 12/12.

This is the first full week the Photos are FINALLY being flipped to 12/12. I flipped them on Jan 19 (day 115). They are already old ladies, and they've been chopped in half twice. I'm excited to finally have them in flower and see the difference between an Auto flower and a Photoperiod flower. As you can see I'm doing a ScrOG for your part of the grow to keep the big plants under control, and to fill the tent with a full canopy.
