Is there a particular time in the light cycle that is best for watering/feeding?
Do you feed during the plants rest period?
I grew outside last year, but am using an indoor tent with soil this year.
Never during mid day because it's the hotter moment of the day so the difference between the solution temps and the soil temps could shock her but also because watter will evaporate with the sun rather than beeing used by the plants , during night time is also a watering window to avoid indoor because the water will bring the relative humidity higger than usual and if the plants are flowering then you could experiment a bud rot , the best time is in the morning just before the light turns on , for exemple and as an outdoor grower too I was watering my plants at 5 pm and the sun was rising around 6pm
Added a second light this week- after feeling like one wasn’t enough coverage. It’s brought the heat up a bit, and the humidity down. I’m going to need to start running my fan and filter as it’s starting to have a noticeable smell.
Finally starting to see some rapid growth. I had tied her down last week, but recently noticed the wire I was using was upsetting the stem. Untied her, and am waiting on my new ties to arrive- I’ll see what I can do once they do.
Plant #2 not looking to good. Can’t decide if it’s overwatering, or led to close- but the other 3 plants in the same tent are doing well- any thoughts???
hey there, this is severe overwatering. You can tell because of the puffy space between the veins of the leafs as well as the wrinkled aspect of the most affected leafs. Follow a strict wet dry cycle and these plants will bounce back quite quickly. Try the bag lifting method or simply watering less and less often. Hope this helps ! 🚀
Did some fan leaf tucking today. Plant one is about an inch taller then her sister. Noticed a bit of leave tip discoloring so moved the lights up a bit, since I hadn’t since the plants began adding height.
Both plants really started showing red stems and leaf veins. Ran out and picked up some CALiMAGic- hoping it does the trick. One plant is further along then the other, just want them to survive until harvest.
Began to flush plant one and planning on harvesting next week/weekend
Also feed plant 2 ph’ed water only in an attempt to save it from looking yellow and sad. I know it’s not close enough to for a final flush, but it was already looking bad before I gave it a big dose of cal-mag last week.
Both plants smell amazing. Like sweet mango
I can’t wait
Plant one’s flush is almost complete. After this weekend I can take her down at any point. Just keeping my eyes on the amber.
Plant 2 is bulking out, and has better light penetration- mainly because I’ve removed so many damaged or yellow leaves. She’s a week or two behind. I’ve cut back on the nutrients- but I’m not sure she’s ready to start her flush yet. I was hoping I’d be taking both plants down together- but I’m not willing to take her too early
The two plants were taken down separately, about two weeks apart. These were the best results I’ve gotten from auto flowers to date.
Turns out the issues with leaf fade I was having a few weeks ago on the second plant was just under feeding. Once I got her color back she really took off. I jarred up 3 ounces from her alone.
The grow took a bit longer then I hoped. But honestly, the whole thing was done during quarantine- so I can’t complain. The plants held up well, didn’t get any mold and smell wonderfully of mango.
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 !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
@GreenHouseLab, thanks! She’s on day 9 of flush. I’m thinking of giving her the full two week treatment 😁
You think that will be enough time for her to finish up?
hi there.. good looking grow!
about your comment with the red stems, check if they are not just the ones facing the light..
if so then it's similar to when we get a tan and is nothing to worry about.
most my plants have that, and when i look at these branches from the side, then i see the upper half, that's facing the light is red, the lower half is green.. looks pretty funny to be honest.
be careful with the amount of calmag, as that raises the EC quite drastically, and if you're using tap-water that might already have a high EC to start out with, you might push them a bit too far, and possibly nute-burn them, which is obviously something you clearly want to avoid..
if you have an EC meter, then go measure it all, but if not, then really take only a small amount and see how they react to it, and slowly increase the amount of calmag if necessary..
Are you feeding it? Start with a light feed but it’s almost necessary with autos if not you’ll get minuscule yields. This strain is a high yielder under ideal conditions. Best of luck with your grow
hey there, hope i answered your question ! Find out more about the bag lifting method here : www.youtube.com/watch ... careful though chronic overwatering leads to root zone issues, so you do want to pick up some enzymes, beneficial bacteria or humic acid to break down problem roots. Anything else you need just let me know 👊
