Day 15: she’s had a very bad start. The single leaves are slightly yellow with orange looking spots on them. The new growth is still looking healthy and slowly developing. I’m unsure what the cause is with the environment being pretty spot on just slight up and downs in temperature. I’m thinking a nutrient deficiency or a possible problem with my medium maybe wrong ph or something. Possibly give a larger amount of water to get ph where it needs to be. Any advice is welcomed.
Day 16: I’ve given her some water with calmag and grow. I gave a slightly larger amount of water at 6 ph to try and adjust the medium ph. Hopefully she starts to pick up in the coming days.
Day 17: there’s been a slight amount of growth but unfortunately the new growth is looking affected so I must still have a ph problem. The plastic pot is really struggling to dry the medium and I wanted to put her in a fabric pot but her roots are just too big to be transplanting so I’ve made a lot of holes around the pot. I’ve also dug up a lot of the top coco revealing a very long stem so realistically the plant is only getting half the pots Space. But I’m hoping this will allow the medium where the roots are too dry better and then I should be able to rectify the ph issue.
Day 18: maybe a slight amount of growth, there’s been that little it’s hard to tell. After taking some of the coco out she dried out a fair amount so I went ahead watering with calmag and grow at ph6. I’m praying this rectifies the problem I’m having. I’m also thinking I need to somehow maximise the root space as there’s already multiple roots coming out the bottom of the pot.
Day 19: she’s grown slightly but is now changing colour on all the tips. I’ll wait until the coco has dried out again to decide if she’s progressing or not and then decide what to do next. I’m going to remove the bottom of the plastic pot and place it on top of another pot just to give it a bit more space as there’s a few roots growing out the bottom of this pot already. I should’ve grown in a fabric pot from the start, in my opinion fabric pots are better aerated and the plastic one retains water for too long.
Day 20: hopefully I’m not speaking to soon but the spots on leaves don’t seem to be progressing anymore and she’s finally showing signs of growth. I’m still going to try and extend the amount of soil she’s got underneath as I messed up when transplanting the first time round, planting her too deep.
Day 21: she’s starting to progress nicely and I’ve cut the bottom of the pot off and placed her on top of another pot. I watered the bottom pot with 1L of water with calmag and grow at ph6. With nothing being disturbed I’m hoping this has no negative effect on her.
Can anyone offer any info on my plant? It looks like it’s popping pistils at the tiny size it is. I can’t find any information on it when researching. What can I expect to happen next? Is it worth keeping her going or should I just start one of the other strains I have waiting?
She's starting to bud. What will want to do is raise your light about 2-2.5 ft. She will chase the light and double-triple in size daily. I tend to give my autos a bit more sleep than 4 hrs and noticed more bud production.
@Ema26, im a canada climate, cold at night is a good trick to bring out blues and purples when in last few wks of flower. But you want to keep her warm next few weeks. I like 90 day, 80-75 night. Then drop down to 60-65 at night when in last couple weeks for color. Day time i always stay high 80s to low 90s. You sweat walking into my room if lights on
@Ema26, just watch your heat. Plants like to be warm if it's too cool than you'll get min. growth. Try cutting a soda bottle bottom off place over plant. Like mini green house. Can adjust the humidity by removing the cap.
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
@Fast_Buds, many thanks! I was wondering what nutrients you recommend for growing in coco. I see a lot of people growing without nutrients but they seem to be growing in soil. Thanks again!
@Greengirl420, I know right😢 the really is no space for error with autos. Thanks I think I’ll try a photoperiod next and focus more on training techniques.
Those brown spots are a pH issue. You should shoot for a pH of 6 and also she looks a little hungry. I would give her 1/4th dose of nutrients every time you water and she will be happy. And be careful not to overwater. Letting the medium dry out on top between waterings will help control the gnats. Also little yellow sticky traps work great. Good luck! Hope you get some nice purple buds.
@Wicked_Stix, I’m glad you said that, I gave her some calmag and grow last night at 6 ph and was worried it might be too much. I gave her approx 300 ml. The yellow sticky traps are a godsend I have had no issues with gnats since putting them in and letting it dry out between waterings. Many thanks for the advice! I’ll check out your page!
@Germano, hey:) I think I do actually! I noticed it only in the last 24 hours. Any advice on getting rid of them? Feel free to check out my other diary I’ll be sure to check out yours. Happy growing!
My autos are around that size when they flower. Just after 4 set of true leaves.
However when harvesting she's around 4ft. Autos will chase the light and stretch more than regs.
@DoDrugs420, don’t go to heavy😅 give her some grow and see if it helps, any sort of bloom nutes won’t help your case, I think that’s where I went wrong, good luck👌
It looks like she is about to transition to flower. Unfortunately she probably won't yield much, but that's how it goes with autos sometimes. Not much room for error, but tons of opportunity for learning 💜💜
@Wicked_Stix, thanks for the response! That’s very interesting to know. I didn’t think it was possible with the plant being so small and thought it maybe to do with some sort of mould. I couldn’t find anything about it when reading articles. I’m not too worried about yield I’m purely just learning at the moment with no expectations. I’ve learnt a lot from my other grow just sadly I keep messing up the start😢
