2/21/20 Really stretching out now. Watered 32oz. with 1/2 veg nutes. Tucked a few leaves. 2/22/20 Soil seemed dry and pot light. Watered again with 32oz. w/ 1/2 veg nutes. I guess this growth spurt is using up some water! Will switch to 1/8 veg and 1/8 bloom nutes tomorrow or next day. Raised light a bit since plant getting tall. Really getting bushy and probably need to defoliate a bit. No idea how to do this really but I think it's safe to cut off the old bottom growth that's almost in the dirt. My taping and splinting of the main stem break I had last week is holding up and stem seems strong. I also have to research and find out when I can remove tape and splint. 2/23/20 Watered with 32oz. w/ 1/8 veg nutes and 1/8 bloom nutes. Soil gets dry fast! 2/24/20 Plant looked a little droopy this morning and soil seemed dry again. Pot felt light also. Watered with 48oz 1/8 veg nutes and 1/8 bloom nutes. Can't believe how the water usage has gone up! I need to stay on top of this. I also noticed that the first full leaves (2) at bottom of plant were either in the dirt or close to it. I trimmed them off. 2/26/20 Looking good I think. Leaves kind of look droopy to me but I think its normal because its much bigger. I need to be more careful mixing my nutes with water as I mixed up my tiger bloom and my big bloom. I think I'll just start using the big bloom every other watering at half recommended strength. Watered 32oz. 2/27/20 Closing out week 5... Watered 32oz trimmed a couple lower leaves. It's getting really tall. switching to 1/2 bloom nutes next week with 1/2 Big Bloom fertilizer also added. One plant has definitely filled out this 2x2 tent....not sure how people get more plants in there. I should have probably gotten 2x4 tent and bigger light. Oh well.. It's a start and I can't really complain about my success (luck) so far. 😉

What to do with vent flaps at bottom of my 2 x 2 tent? Exhaust fan running at ~33% speed with carbon filter in tent as intake. Tent In cold room (overnight temps 45-55*F) , running heater and humidifier in tent. Currently, 2 of 3 flaps tented at bottom of flap to allow air in.

I would close them to keep the heat inside. At this point there isn't much need for them to be open unless you have heat issues and wanted the cooler outer air to get in the tent.

Help! I thought I had this. Is this calcium deficiency? I've been using treated water (1tsp CalMag+ 1tsp Grow Big per gallon). It's just getting worse. See photos and descr. from past few days.

Hey man I just saw your question about harvesting...first the plant isn't ready to harvest yet. Your pistils really aren't starting to die off yet. You have several weeks to go from what I see. The damage on your leaves is a light or heat related issue. I would try to get the light as far away from them as possible so you can push them longer. Good luck!

Are you allowing for runoff when you feed & wAter? Mine are in 3 & 5 gal fabric pots and I’m watering ever 2 to 3 days.

@HiddenOp831, Humidity too high or too low? I found a great humidifier (and heater too) that's perfect for small grow tent. Winter here and tent is in cold room with ~25% RH.. That's why I'm running space heater and humidifier in tent.

@Gewroo, totally understand. I’m right there with you. This is my first auto, second grow. And my first grow was just one plant. I’m having humidity issues at the moment that I’m dealing with.

@HiddenOp831, Using plastic 5 gal. pot. I'm not really watching for saturation runoff. I did that initially before first planting to get idea of pot weight. Since then, I've just watered when it seems like pot got light. This seems to be accompanied by the first inch or so of soil to be very dry. I dunno. Seems to be working for me so far. After planting and during early veg stage, I was watering 1/4 gallon every 3 days or so.. At current stage, I'm giving plant about 1/4 gallon per day. I'm also stressing over keeping temperature and humidity in check. Other than that, I have no idea what I'm doing.. LOL

Good choice of seed for your first grow. A couple of them took longer than I was expecting for an auto but I was very happy with the results I had from this brand. Hope you enjoy your grow as much as I enjoyed mine.

Is the spotting happening on the top leaves? if yes, then it is a calcium defiicency, which by the pictures it appears to be the case. The problem with calcium deficiency is that the symptoms appear several weeks after the deficiency is present. At this point there is very little you can do. your water should always have a base of 0.5 EC (250 PPM), if not then you need to add cal mag to get to that point.

@@Athos, Thank you!! Not necessarily on just top leaves.. It seems to have started on lower leaves and spread up. I have cut out a lot of the lower leaves that were looking bad. Now it just seems all over. I have been using CalMag (1 tsp/gal) the last few days and yesterday I treated with Safer 3-in-1 Garden Spray for Rust fungus. I'm really suspicious of rust fungus because I've had occasions were nighttime temps were in the low 60s with 70% humidity. I've since started turning off humidifier at night and just let the humidity drop into the low 30s overnight.
