Problems started here in the week 3. Leafs started dying and growth stopped. I removed 2 biggest leafs from this pic few days after cause they were brown and looked sick.

Plant was growing well first two weeks then problems started. This week I tried to give it less water and a little bit of calmag to see it health improves and growth continues.

I forgot to gave her calmag last week as the previous 2 weeks and it shows, some spots returned on leaves and growth is not so fast. Gave her nutrients this week with calmag. Was careful to not give her too much. I think I will start LST this week.

Did more LST today and watered with calmag and biogrow only ppm 850. Noticed some yellowing on upper leaves, suspecting lightbleacing or nitrogen defficiency so decided to give it more nitrogen nutes and add some more distance between lamp and plant.

It was a hard week. It has nutrient defficiency going on for weeks now and I am unable to suppress it. This week I tried a heavier feeding but with much more water as previously I gave it nutes only with 1 l of water and know I am trying heavier feeding with more water so PPM is lower actually. I gave one watering only and I think at the end of the week she was thirsty a bit so I will give her 1.5 l of watering and 1.5 of watering with nutes next week. Continued fixing and improving LST and defoliating a bit. Height is 30 cm with LST it wold be around 75 without i think. Little sister beside him is recovering from heavier LST and defoliation in preparation for flowering. I want to put them in flowering before next week cause it is already to long of veg so I hope little one recovers from LST fast and this one reacts well to heavier feeding.

Streched her a bit more and evened out the canopy . Gave her more nutes and water with a bit lower ppm. Flowers are starting to show, flowering finally underway.

She has yellowing and dying leaves issue for a while now. I was giving more nutes lately to combat the issue. Now burnt tips say it is to many nutes. So I decided yesterday that I should water with a bit of calmag before next feeding at beggining of the week.

Unless you're using R/O water I would even back off the cal-mag also and just give her plain ph water until she recovers then you start back with the nutrients but I would suggest a lighter dose. Hopefully, this was helpful and remember "Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time".

During the last week I watered 2 times with no nutrients and ph 6 to flush the soil a bit and fix the nutrient burn issue. This weekend I gave her nutrients again with 3L of water but it was a light feeding to not cause nutrient buring again. A lot of leaves are yellowing so I hope she will let me feed her more strength in the upcoming weeks. I also put a scrog net to Improve canopy and expose as mush budsites to lights. Tent is starting to smell very pleasantly.

I watered only last week and mesaured runoff ppm and ph. Water was 350 ppm and 6 ph and runooff was 700ppm and 6.7 ph. Before when i fed her with 850 ppm runoff was 1500 ppm. I would continue to water only but there was a lot of yellow and pale leaves so gave her light dosage.

I think you have your nuet level in the ok range so you did well there. Do think you were over feeding, obviously right. Difficult to talk about PPM with soil in particular organic, just works very differently from coco or other hydro forms. IIRC Bio-grow/bloom ratio is 5ml/gal grow + up to 15ml/gal bloom but less is used in most grows. I wouldnt concern myself with PPM in soil, just PH and dosage charts.

It's only middle of the week and pictures are from mobile phone. I'll update with better pictures during the weekend. Trying something new with adding molasses and banana peel tea with 2 ml/l Bio-bloom. Ph of solution was 6.3 and ppm was around 650. If Bangers react well I am hoping to increase the nutrients. Second feeding of the week was Sunday and I gave it more molasses and banana peel tea with a ppm of 570. I am still worried of giving it more strength. Yellowing is still progressing but I think at a slower pace now. Buds are getting bigger every day and smell is becoming very strong.

Harvested 3 months ago, didn't take pictures then cause I was moving places so was in a rush. Pictures are from today when I finished diary. Almost all harvest was already vaped, smoked and a bit of trim cooked with. This plant showed how even a stunted plant and on verge of dying still a seedling in week 5 can recover and give me highest yield being my first photo grow. I was hoping for 150 g given how much time she has grown but I learned a lot from my mistakes and still achieved more then previous auto grow.
