Day 53:
Things have been slow going for the last week. Almost no growth :( I think this is due to low pH combined with overfeeding. I have stabilized the pH to 6.2 and brough the ppm down to 520 with a flush. First flush. The rest of this week is just making sure the pH stays where I want it and keeping her environment steady. I'll be waiting to give nutrients until I see some improvement. Hoping she bounces up in the next few days...
Day 54:
She looks pretty soggy this morning after yesterday's flush. I purchased a moisture meter to help make sure I'm not over-watering. Jade plant and Mexican hat plant are moving in to the nursery to keep cheeba some company.
Day 55:
I've definitely been over-watering my sweet cheeba. I'm glad I picked up a moisture meter while I learn the ropes. The plant is now up on a platform so that it drains better and I'll be able to flush it out in the tent whilst she's all tied up. No water today. Probably not tomorrow either I think. I'm learning fast and hope that she'll recover accordingly.

MountainMattstarted grow question 5 years ago
Is it okay for seedlings medium to dry up a bit at the surface or is it better to keep moist? She hasn't truly wilted. Just taking her time standing up after the last watering.

The stage that she's at and the size of that cup you don't wanna soak her it's fine for the top soil to become dry ,don't want to drown the roots . They can be droopy after watering and low night time temps . She looks healthy nutes are good nice job brother and goodluck ...she would be good for a transplant by now ..
MountainMattstarted grow question 5 years ago
The pH of the runoff continues to drop below 6.0 with each feed, resulting with me trying to bounce it back every other watering. I would like for the pH to be more stable. Any ideas why this might be happening? I am using Advanced Nutrients pH perfect - Grow, Micro, Bloom.

That probably means you have a very acidic soil. You can add some lime stone to the soil and water with higher pH like 6.5-7 and keep checking it but to be totally honest I hardly ever measure my pH levels anymore 😂 but I only grow 2 plants at a time. I haven't noticed much difference but my ph come out 6.5 from the tap lol

Orang tips on calyxes? Seems a bit soon. Not all over the plant. Only some bud tips at this point. A few chewed leaves but no signs of bugs that I can find. Some signs of the claw suggest too much nitrogen? Dialing the nutrients to half power. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed!

Hey Growmie ...
After seeing the pics and you stating the leaves ar clawing, I would say that this is definitely heat stress, so you did right by raising the lights to prevent any further damage to the buds. If no more damage happens everything with be fine and you won't even notice it was there once she starts kicking off those great purple colored buds. Good Luck with the rest of your journey and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

Drying ganja for the first time. Buds are in the dark with temp steady at 70F. Humidity steady at 55%. Trimmed fan leaves, but left all sugar leaves. Plant is stinking like wet grass on the 3rd day of drying. Will this smell break down or am I needing to make some adjustments?

Completely normal the smell is, the first few days the smell is generally pungent. Just make sure there is fresh air coming in and air is circulating. A oscillating fan will do. Smell will only get better as she slowly dries out.

Nice, dude! What's it smell like?

@MountainMatt, I have had hay smell before. It usually happens when you dry too fast in a low humidity environment. On my current grow, I'm going to use my tent and put in a humidifier to keep it at 60% RH at about 65degF (18degC). Also I'm not going to use a circulation fan, and I'm going to keep it pitch black in there.

@MovingOn, do you have any experience dealing with the hay smell? going into the 5th day of drying and she's not giving off very much of her grape flavour...

MountainMattcommented5 years ago
@MovingOn, like real fruity grapes. Reminds me of blueberry pancakes. She's not super stinky, but covered in a good layer of trichomes top to bottom. I'll put some more details in the harvest report in a week. Thanks for following along eh!
