For the second week vegetation I increased the lamp to plant distance from 35cm to 60cm an kept the 100 watts. The strains look great one week later. The BioTabs are doing a great job, still no further nutrients required. I think I will turn to bloom when the plants are 30cm, right? I am a bit limited with the box, 110cm is the max possible.

Good news, I would not panic👍. From your grow details and your current environment I would do two simple things. Back that light off a little more. I know you're only operating at 100W right now, but being an LED and with it's relentless intensity for 18 hours a day, the girls just start to get pissy. Suggest turning the intensity back to manufacturer specs and raise the lamp to mitigate the intensity. I always find it easier to move a lamp on ratchets then to change integral settings. You have plenty of room, so finding a sweet spot for this lamp at this stage of growth will not take you long at all (From the lamp you're using, you're probably looking at a 60-75cm buffer space (24-30 inches). Second is just a nice full, balanced dose of nutrients with whatever early Veg schedule you're using. That's really it, actually. Plants are just fine, just stressed a bit and those white specs are good indication of bleaching from light intensity. I hope this was the answer you're looking for my friend. Definitely don't have anything to worry about, just need a couple tweaks to the environment. You good👍 Cheers and happy trails. Contact me in PM if you feel like there's anything else I MIGHT be able to help you with. Cheers!

After 3 weeks vegetation the strains are growing like crazy, never knew that growing cannabis is just so easy. My fully automated growbox saves me a lot of time :-). I think I will add another week Vegetation, I expect they will grow to 40 cm until the end of the 4th week of veg. By when can I start cut the big leaves? The big leaves take to much light…..

When can I start with lolipoping? I am asking because the strains have hell a lot of leaves, the branches are already touching the wall of the growbox. I don't know if it's good if the branches are touching the wall, or do they need some distance to the wall?!

The stretch might be over, the strain growed only 4 cm in a week. The leafs of the middle strain are getting light green, hopefully this is not a disease….

See video in week 9. The girls in a secret stealth growbox just ended week 5 flowering, but the flowering will take another 4 weeks. Since I am a greenhorn (first grow ever) I don't know what to expect in the last 4 weeks, is there anything I could optimize? Thanks for any ideas

@Goldbud Hi mate in the next few weeks expect the buds to swell a lot and if there isnt enough actual air movement inside your grow box (which is really neat by the way 🙏) then you could run into problems with mold o similiar. You should aim to have the plants physically moving around from the airflow sort of like a cool breeze on the beach. Other than that your humidity looks great @ 40% temps are fine and you seem to be on top of Nutritional requirements Good luck with your Kush harvest 👍

Week 6 ended and Critical Kush will most probably be ready for harvest in the next 2 weeks. According to information I read on the web, in the last two weeks of flowering the bud's will not grow anymore. To be completely sure about that, I have installed a time lapse camera, so I can check if the bud's made some progres the last 7 days, the time-laps movie will be posted end of this week….

Wow you have a nice setup! Maybe post some pictures of the healthy plants also, so people can compare. The 'sick' one doesnt look really bad, just a bit droopy. Was the picture taken at the end of the lightcycle? If you're sure its not caused by under- or overwatering, than it might be this: some plants tend to droop towards the end of the lightcycle, it basicly means they cant proces anymore light that day. The theory seems to be a bit controversial tho. Just google "plants drooping at end of light cycle" to look into it.

First week flowering is done. Hope some Flowers will come up until the end of next week. I have had mold on the soil, for that reason I had to add two little fans below the strains, after 24 Hours mold disappeard completely💪

Hi Paulina the picture ws taken after about 6 hours Daylight. Since I use autopots a overwatering should not happen. I have posted the other two Pictures of the healthy plants. There are some spots on the leaves, but this is the anti stress spray I use every week.
the end.
