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.

3/30/20: Was way easier to grow than I expected but some leaf issues in flower stage left me wondering about the genetics as I never really got a handle on the cause of the problem. Best guess as to cause of my issues are calcium deficiency, rust fungus, light burn and plant genetics (in that order). It could also have been something else but I'm just not sure. Bottom line was that I went from seedling to successful harvest in 10 weeks. Pretty damn satisfying! 😎

I wished I would have known I couldn't later change the number of stars in review before I left them. I tried to be neutral because of my inexperience but the products likely deserved a better rating.

I wished I would have known I couldn't later change the number of stars in review before I left them. I tried to be neutral because of my inexperience but this product likely deserves a better rating. I love this light and the TS 600 I was using before. However, I did have some issues with the plant that could possibly be from too much light after changing to TS 1000 in my 2x2 tent... I'm just not sure. I'm really thinking about upgrading to a 3x3 tent for my next grow. That said, both the TS 600 and the TS 1000 is a lot of quality, full spectrum light for the money.
Day 67 - 3/30/20: First day of drying in tent. Humidity a little low 35-40% so I turned on humidifier to get a little closer to 50%. Temperatures in tent are mid 70s during day and mid 60s at night.
Day 68 - 3/31/20: Drying in tent. Humidifier keeping humidity in 45=50% range, temps are ~71* in daytime and ~63* at night.
Day 69 - 4/01/20: Drying in tent. Humidity ~50%, temps ~63-71*. Flash pictures really show the frosty looking buds!
Day 72 - 4/04/20: Buds appeared very dry and small stems would break instead of just bend. I decided to trim and jar the buds. Since I have no idea how to do this, I just tried to make the buds look like what I've bought before. I trimmed all the sugar leaf stems I could find and the trim/cut off any leafs that were sticking out conspicuously from the bud...sort of like a haircut I suppose. I discarded any brown or damaged leaves from whatever problem I had (I noticed that these leaves smelled "funny"). In the end, I have a small bag of sugar leaves left over and will either smush these for concentrate or cook them into butter. There will be a few stems in the jars as I left a couple of clusters together because they looked so perfect. I jarred the buds with Boveda packs and I'll monitor the humidity and burp jars daily for awhile. I'm pretty happy with this despite the issues I had and will try again. I didn't know what to expect in terms of yield but almost 4 ounces from one plant is pretty darn good I think.

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.
