Transplanted to final 15L pot on day 10. Day 14 and sapling 1 don’t seem to be doing as good as sapling 2. Having low humidity. Rather much constant 40%. May have to get a small humidifier. After taking some advice put 2 plastic cups over plants to hold in moisture. Will replace with 2L bottle bottoms tomorrow. Also gave them 0.5ml/L of Coco A&B Took out fan and filter and fitted outside the tent to give more height to play with. Start of week 3 tomorrow... Happy Days 😬

One of my saplings don’t seem to be going as good as other one. Has a pale green on the start of leaves, other doesn’t. Humidity very low at 40%, could this be reason?

Highroller mentioned humidity not being an issue here but I can tell you from my experience it is very important in the first 3 weeks. Can mean life or death! What I do and works wonders is to cut the top of a 2litre plastic bottle and use this as a cover (dome ) for the young plant, spray the inside daily with water and this will raise the humidity of that plant to70%+ this is so Beneficial as the plant is not using its roots right now so you can prevent overwatering from just absorbsion through the leaves, hope this helps because trust me it really does! 🌱👍😁

Day 17 - After taking advice covered both with a bottle bottom, humidity level now 70%+. Also added a small dose of Coco A+B. Both are looking a lot healthier than last week. 😎 Day 20 - Small humidifier gone in the tent so humidity never below 65%. Start of week 4 tomorrow so will start properly with the nutes!! No issues so far so happy days 😬

Day 23 and seed 1 isn’t doing very well. From everyone’s helpful comments on overwatering, checked the pots and discovered that the coco was way too wet, that combined with domes & then humidifier has paid its price. Thought that no way can leave in the wet 15litre pots so took out as carefully as possible to put in smaller pots with drier coco. Prob high risk move but what will be will be. Day 27. After doing lots of research on growing in coco now have a better understanding of the problems have encountered. So lesson learned there. When the coco was ready gave a feed to 350ppm. Thankfully they have responded well. Tho may be a tad too much as looks to be a bit of a burn on tips of seed 2. Will drop ppm slightly with next feed.

Seed 1 is suffering and both plants probably stunted. Should I let these dry up then give a full dose (canna schedule) of coco ab and some cal mag?? Thanks in advance 👍

The 1st thing you have to do is correct your PH value because in coco the sweet spot is 5.8 and you can go up to 6 but you are at 6.5 since week 2. Cannabis is not very tolerant to ph issues in coco ( check the ph runoff ) The 2nd thing you need to do is to get a ppm/Ec pen to know the exact nutrient amount you are using for your feeding ( input ) and the runoff ( output) because it will also tell you if there is too much or not enough nutrient in the coco. If you are able to check and control these 2 values you can makes them bounce back if you don't forget to add cal mag with every feeding.

Day 31 - Thankfully after poor last 2 weeks and a serious lack of growth, these are looking a lot healthier. Think the Calmag really done the trick. Giving no nutes for 21 days in Coco really is a bad idea. Transplanted to 3.8L pots. Fingers crossed they will take well.

Looking a lot better than 2 weeks ago, although the plants are very short with little spacing between the nodes. Day 41 - Side shot shows how stubby these plants are. Slow progress but happy with that as learning all the way 😬

Managed to get these to week 8 😀 🍺 Plants super stumpy and finding it difficult to train and also leaves are covering new growth from the tops. Trimmed a few leaves to try to expose to the light but fearful will take to much away. 2 to 3 weeks I have to take these to flower as if I don’t, will be going away around potential harvest time. As a result switched the light to 24hrs for the run up to flower. Again learning all the way!!! 👍

Flipped to flower this week. Both are having a nice stretch, need to lift the light everyday I open the tent 👍 Introduce the Boost to the feed, hopefully it it live up to its rep. Both these are starting to fill this tent right up, be interesting to see if I will be left with any room come a few weeks 😮😬

Hi all. Very much a newbie question so apologies for poor knowledge. Just stared 4th week of flower and opened the tent to see the leaves on one of the plants developing white hairs. Is this ok? Or something to be concerned about? Many thanks. 👍

I think this has to be a troll right? xDD BUT JIC it isn't: Those are the trichomes that contains all the cannabinoids. You should read atleast this https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/what-are-trichomes-on-cannabis. I can also highly recommend growweedeasy.com and the best for last. Really thorough but easy to approach book is Ryan Riley's Growing Elite Marijuana. You should learn all that you need to get started and more! Happy growing, may the yield be good! 💪

Noticed the sugar leaves on bud leaves are also yellow. My understanding is this can have a big effect on final yield?? Flushed the gal but as no amber trichomes yet and want 20%, should keep flushing now on or resume feeding till some amber??? Cheers

Many thanks all. Will continue to flush plant 2, hopefully has enough in it to get to the end, lighter feed to P1. Also ordered some GHE Ripen so will have that to fall back on. The light was 10” but lifted 1” a week ago as max I could go due the height constraints, but from your comments have modified my drain stand (not sure neighbours happy about the drilling at 6am😳) so they now sitting at 14” so happy days. Like said, hopefully they will now Ripen in peaceful 👍 Learning all the way so cheers all 😎

Plant 2 ambers are now showing up. Had a little smoke test and seems great to me 👍 Will give it the chop in the next few days and hang in my makeshift grow box prior to a cure. Jars ready and waiting. Plant 1 still coming along nicely, when P2 is out of there will have more room for manoeuvre. Next grow will just have the one plant in there and train it well 😬
