3rd Time Is Not A Charm

MichaelAnthony Dec 21 This is probably my 3rd grow. I burned my first and gave the 2nd way to many nutrients. I had no idea what flushing was so I just let it die a peaceful death. I initially started in a solo cup but moved transferred the plant to a 5 gallon fabric pot. This week I did give the plant nutrients but probably shouldn't have because It's only a sapling and I'm growing in fox farms ocean forest. The pic is from the end of week 1. I started noticing some discoloration on the tips of the leaves. The leaves would eventually die. This would continue all the way up to its current week. Also when watering I kept water off of the leaves.

MichaelAnthony The pictures was taken on 31 Dec. As you can see the plant is still growing but the bottom leaves have been turning brown. The only thing I could think of was to much nutrients so I started watering with tap. Yeah that's right tap water sorry. I eventually trimmed off the bottom leaf which was pretty much dead. I didn't want the plant to give it any of its energy that could be used to grow.

MichaelAnthony Week 3 and I'm still trying to figure this out. The plant is growing and smells amazing but It seems like the bottom leaves are really discolored. I'm probably just going to start feeding it proper water and no nutrients to try to flush it out. I still need to purchase a ph test at this point and the rest of the fox farm trio.

MichaelAnthony Week 4 the plant has grown and looks ok...not great. As you can see the leaves still have some discoloration that I'm working on. I added a couple more pictures from today 12 Jan.

MichaelAnthony 18 Jan and it's the end of week 5. The plant has responded really well to the spring water I've been feeding it. I started adding the fox farm trio. I made the mistake of topping and trimming the fan leaves. Which in hindsight I should never have done bc it severely stunted the growth. I also made the mistake of trying to do LST but realized I should just let the plant grow and stop torturing it.

MichaelAnthony So she is smelling amazing. The plant leaves seem to be dry but I think its due to the humidifier water. Can I filter tap water and still use it for a humidifier? Fan leaves grew back and but really hasn't grown vertically much at all. At this point I'm just watering every other day with nutrients.

MichaelAnthony Very sticky and smells like a spicy kind of fruit. The foliage is very thick and the light seems to be providing enough penetration for the interior buds. This is the furthest I've ever been in a grow. I'm occasionally checking the soil for dampness. I've been feeding 1/2 the suggested nutrients once a week and spring water. I have 3 other grows in the tent and they are also doing fine. I'm not running any type of air filtration system so the smell is really strong but not overbearing. I need to start gathering supplies for the big chop...or small chop in this case.

MichaelAnthony I'm probably going to wait a couple of days for some more amber trichomes on the bottom then chop it down. The ambers are there on the bottom I just want to see a little bit more. I was anticipating this so at the top of the week I began to flush.
