First week of veg, after two weeks of seedling growth.
Light schedule: 24 hrs
Nutrients: Nitrogen (bokashi), small quantities of potassium and phosphorus in marine algae.
First transplant into: 2 lt and 1.5 lt pots
Why are the leafs on my plants getting dark green instead of a light green?
Is it because of the strain or nutrient lockout (nitrogen toxicity, too much potassium, too much phosphorus?) or perhaps not watering enough?
Check your leaves. If they are curling and/or clawing it's nitrogen, look for it in the Newest growth. If your leaves are shaped "right" then it is not nitrogen and they are just dark.. Without seeing nice and clear pictures of a "problem" plant it's very hard to tell unless they are suffering badly. From what I can see they look totally fine, if there is clawing/curling it's only minor. You don't even need to cut the Nitro out altogether you just go lighter on the feedings if they indeed have slight toxicity. Lots of growers just do very "light" feedings every time they water. The plants need the nitro right now and will eat it up just don't wanna oversaturate them, if it is indeed a case of slight toxicity. You are in Great shape really if it is a nitro tox, you've got plenty of time before flower so you can really get your plants dialed in before you flip :). I hope this helps if you need further information please pm me I can help :). Happy growing.
1 OG kush Shows Sings of Nitrogen Toxicity (cut most leafs off)
Soil PH: 5.7 - 6.8 (lowest and highest reading)
Flushed all plants with microrayza fungi
Watering with organic bio activated tea every 3 days (potassium = algae, bokashi = nitrogen, worm hummus and molasses)
Day 28 to 35
Day 32: Accidently cut off main stem of a very healthy OG kush plant, let´s see how it bounces back in a few days. Perhaps I just HST´d by accident
Day: 32: Some of my autoflower GSC already started to flower
Day 32: 3 OG kush plants are weak, one has a weak stem, second one had a problem since seedling (grew into the ground), third one i cut off main stem by accident
Day 34: OG kush plant was removed after many tries of getting it back to its feet
Day 35: Defoliation on some of my overgrown plants.
Day 40: My tallest plant is 43cm tall. Pretty good size, should double or even triple when it comes time to flower. Have had no problems so far, no issues with fungi or bacteria in my plants.
I wish I could've taken more picture this week and previous week but I just could'nt remember to do it. Feeling nervous, but wierdly excited. Most promising strains for big yields are Super Silver and Tangie. Girl Scout Cookies being an autoflower already started to flower, wish it would have taken more time on veg to get bigger but it is what it is.
Now starting flower. 12/12 cycle. 9 weeks
- I discovered 4 male plants, all of them were tangie, the grow is doing good, hopping to get big yields. I can already see the bud sites developing. Foucusing nutrients on P and K and little N. I´m also adding a lot of granular calmag.
- The grow is looking great, plants are growing fast fast fast. Almost doubled in size since starting flower in week 6. Bud sites are starting to develop and smell is starting to change slowly. No problems so far, aside from the OG kush plant that I could really never get back on its feet (I’m thinking it’s the genetics). Girl Scout Cookies (the only autos in my grow) are smelling pretty nice and are developing thick buds.
Do this trichomes look ready to harvest? Do they look any good? The pictures aren't of the best quality, but I tried my best to capture them with my equipment. This are the pictures of the plant (overall looks) and the trichomes (around 600x with microscope)
Hey @MadBumbleBee!
You can say it better than us, since you can take a better look to them,
I would recommend you to harverst them when around 80% pistils get brown. If you have a lens/microscope you can check if the glans turn from clear to sand colour.
Good luck!
Was there any info from the breeder on flowering time? 7 weeks feels a touch early, but you’re almost there for sure.
I’d keep using the microscope to check daily (I’m sure you’re on it) or every other day.
You will know instantly when the pistils go milky - you won’t need to think about it, or wonder ‘is that milky? It might be. Let me check again. I think I can see it starting. Hey, is this milky or not milky?’.
I do that all the time.
Oh and check multiple spots.
