2/28/20 - Watered 32oz 1/2 bloom nutes, 1/2 fert. Even after this watering, pot seems light. I will probably have to water more today. Plant is looking good I think. Getting tall so I had to raise lamp again. I should be able to remove splint this week..though plant doesn't seem to have suffered because of the break. Is two weeks enough time for plant to mend partially broken main stem?
2/29/20 - Watered (plain water) 48oz.
3/01/20 - Watered 48oz. 1/2 bloom nutes, 1/2 fert. Plant has pretty much filled up all the space in tent to grow out and it has grown up quite a bit. I have no idea how anyone could grow more than one plant in 2x2 grow tent. To optimize space a bit, I rearranged where fan, heater and humidifier sit on floor. This also helped with moving humidifier nozzle into corner so mist not blowing directly on leaves (for now anyway). I'm not sure what I'm going to do if it gets any larger.. there won't be any room for heater and humidifier to blow up and around canopy. I have pole mounted fan that's above canopy but haven't really used it much yet. Fan on floor has been working good to keep heat and humidity distributed.
3/02/20 - Watered 32oz (plain water). Seeing a little more every day. Rearranging heater, fan and humidifier seems to have helped with humidity and heat distribution. The telltale cannabis odor has been here for a while but only when I open tent. The carbon filter and fan are doing a great job keeping room odor to zero. For the first time, I noticed a distinct citrus smell on my hands after handling plant. 😋
3/03/20 - Watered 32oz. 1/2 bloom nutes, 1/2 fert. Everything seems to be going well.. I noticed that the bottom of tent seems to be warmer than the rest of tent (above canopy). I'll start running pole fan at top of tent during the day. Maybe the heat isn't making it above the plant growth which has pretty much filled up the entire width and depth of tent. A little more air flow should help. Might be time to crank open the tent vent flaps as well. Currently there is only one flap that is open slightly. It could also be that the plant is now contributing to the climate of the closed tent environment.
3/04/20 - Watered 32oz. (plain water). My nighttime (lights off) humidity is a little screwy now after rearranging everything....Have to make some adjustments in humidistat settings. 2x2 tent is F U L L . I have a little room to grow up not much for growing out. Lots of foliage at bottom of plant too.. Maybe these leaves could be trimmed? ..it would make watering easier at the least.
3/05/20 - Watered 32oz. 1/2 bloom nutes, 1/2 fert. Nighttime humidity a little better after leaving pole fan running all night. I also have 6" fan on floor that has been on since planting. The idea was to keep the air circulating around the heater and the humidifier. Looks like 4-5 good bud sites developing hard. Many others but they are not shooting up. Is this normal? I realize it's only week 6 and I'm probably not even at half way point yet. I have nothing to really complain about though. Pretty happy with this 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!
@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.
