Hello Growers !! today is the start of week 8. day 50. This week we will be covering day 50-57, last week went well. hope for a great and easy week 8 as well.
Day 50 they seem to have stopped stretching, and starting to stack buds, ๐hoping for huge buds. and a great harvest ๐
I have noticed that the pots are no longer hold water like before. When I water I have to do it slowly. the water comes out the bottom of the pot.and its not staying in the soil, I have to give time to the plants to suck up the water.
water was ph to 6.4,
I gave the girls 30 oz each, and I have to water every other day now. ๐or they dry out and start looking sad, ๐ฆ
Maybe I need to use a bigger pot next time, I should from a 3Gal to a 5Gal.
update for day 56
๐ฑmy ph in the soil is creeping up!! it's at 6.8 -7.1,๐ I am not sure why its move up??
I watered my girls with water ph to 6.3 hoping to help bring down the ph to around 6.4-6.6ph๐
if anyone knows what is causing the problem. please comment below or message me.
Im still watering every other day, I see no problem yet,
I will be starting the 9th week on Sunday5-17-20. thank you!!๐ everyone that following along, and help me grow !!๐
๐All my Girls are budding up and stacking up real nice!!๐ and the girls are starting to fill up the tent, ๐
๐I was hoping for maybe 2oz๐just to break even on supplies and electric๐now i think i may get 3oz out of it !! feeling positive ๐๐
thinking of upgrading to a real grow light maybe the Mars Hydro Mars TSW 2000 for $300 and a 4x4 tent or a 5x5 tent,
๐Hope everyone is well, AND HAPPY GROWING๐๐
Hi Growers I found small white bugs!! In 3 of my pots. The ones on the right side of the tent . That is the side, that i topped off the pot with a different soil. it was Better Homes and Gardens soil. Any ideas what they are?? And how to kill them. uploaded pics week 3 thank you
Hi growers, How do i kill๐ก the Springtails Bugs that are in my soil ๐ ? there not on the plant there living in the soil. ๐should i just cull the plants an throw out the soil and start over?๐ฅ
I didn't knew that bug so I googled it to learn and the 1st google answer is explaining what that bug is , how to treat in 3 differents ways : in pot , outdoor and in hydro . Could be an help in your own research

Hi Growers !!
Is this normal for autos, there 64 days old, 21days to go, there in soil and the ph is 6.7 Dry organic Nutrient, most of the bigger older fan leases are turning yellow. I feed them around week 4-5, should I Top dress my Pots? and add a Lil more Dry Nutrient
๐ต๐ข๐จ. My 1st Bcn Critical Lxx this seedling is not doing well. the other are growing nicely. Should i throw this one out and plant a new seed? Or give it a few days and see what happens?? any ideas?
Hey everyone
Day 17 ๐ข๐ found small white bugs!! In 3 of my pots. The ones on the right side of the tent . Thats the side, that i topped off the pot with a different soil.
Better home and gardens organic soil,
The right side is the side with the small plants that are growing really slow. Any idaes what they are?? And how to kill them
@1stmanny, You are most welcome Buddy. ๐๐ค๐ผDid you get yo yos or benders? And it depends on the amount of branches. I would say between 4 and 6. I look forward to your next diary entry. ๐โฎ๏ธ
@1stmanny,
many growers claim that any positive form of training will yield more. I just top minecand then top again. I also open the plant up.with the yo yos. โค๏ธ๐๐
My first ever grow I used miraclegrow moisture control, I had 6 plants in a 4x4 and I got about 10.5 oz of dried bud and they were about 5 and a half feet tall using 2 cheap ebay 2000w grow leds. It may not be the best outcome but if you pay attention to your plants it definitely wont be the worst. Good luck cant wait to see them finish.
@1stmanny, just lower them and look for signs of light burn or bleaching. The tsw is the wide version lik 20"x20" where the tsl is rectangular so for a 2x4 tent it's perfect. I want to upgrade to the tsw3000 because although I can cover a 4x4 with the 2000 once I lower the light I'll only cover 3x3 where as the 3000 can cover 5x5 in veg and 4x4 in flower
@EyeMKing, I lower them to about 10 inches off the Tops. so I think I can lower them to 6 inches off the tops next week. I have about 3.5 weeks of flower to go.
๐i am really feeling the ๐Mars Hydro TSL 2000W for my 2x4 tent. it's about $300, I think the one you have is a better buy, it can cover a 5x5, and it cost the same at about $300, i think i really need the light and a 5x5 tent to get the most out of it.
@1stmanny, so its advertised at 2000w but was probably around 100w each and i had 2 in a 4x4. I swapped to the mars hydro tsw2000 which is 310w for one light. Your plants look to be growing nice for the light source you have, a stronger light would help make dense buds. Maybe try lowering the lights a tad more since they are FL bulbs if I remember correctly they can be with 5-10 inches from the tops. As for LST i plant my seedlings off to the sides of my bags so that i can bend them across the center. I do this to reach the most horizontal growth while promoting side growth, so that by the time she reaches the other end of the bag my side branches have spread out evenly to create a uniform vertical growth. If you check my younger plant diaries you will see what I mean.
Congrats on the new babies. Always an exciting time. Awesome job growski. Keep doing your thing and may the ganja garden gods bless you along the rest of this journey.
@Chilipadi,
I think i see the sign. that they are about to start flowering soon. in two days. I'm going to which my light bulbs to 2700k 3000k and remove the 5000k-6500k.
I am done with the LST. and let them grow.
Hello buddy.
Have a look at this link for leaf deficiencies or problems. Hope this helps. ๐ค๐ผ

Awesome... that slow one 1BCN survived. Nice.๐๐ผ๐๐ผ. All looking pretty good. ๐๐ค๐ผ. The long leggy ones because they are stretching for the lights. IMO. Maybe lights are a bit too far away? ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ป
@1stmanny,
Good you adjusted. So long they not hot too touch then all should be fine. Remember to check on them... and to raise the lights every so often to maintain distance of 300mm. Keeping the lights low will shorten the nodes and add strength.
You are most welcome โ๏ธ๐ผ๐
@Puffer_Bill,
Hi Bill
300mm works out to 11.80 inches, My light was at 19 1/2 inches. I lowered it to 16 inches about 406mm, im using 12 cheap br30 7 watts bulbs . The bulbs get a little warm but not hot to the touch, i will keep and eye on them. for signs of any problems, thank you for the heads up.
@1stmanny,
Just be careful how low you go. Keep a beady eye on any changes like lowering lights. I dont know what distance your lights are from seedlings? My LEDs are 300mm from plant. Do your lights burn you if you touch them? And your diary comments seem quite fine. Some info about the strain perhaps? โ๏ธ๐ผ๐
All the girls are looking good! Nice and bushy and looks like your LST is on point! Looks like all your plants survived from week 1. Iโm glad you kept them going ๐ช
It looks like youโre using twist ties for the plant which Iโve read may be a bit too thin. However, if the stems donโt show any signs of damage or stress, keep it rolling! No need to change if it isnโt hurting!
It looks like a few of the new leaf growth on the BCN Critical are damaged? It may just be from the perspective, so I could be wrong.
Other than that, all your girls are looking solid and growing nicely! Iโll see if I canโt do some research on your bug issue, but Iโve been using the growweedeasy website for any issues and general info. It may be worth looking into
Hi @Michigrown,
Your right about BCN Critical, the leaves are damaged. this poor girl from seed. ๐ณI overwatered her thinking, ๐ฑshe needs it. and she stops growing ๐
. around day 21๐ i thought she needed more airflow. the fan fell in the middle of the night. and damaged her. the crazy thing the fan falling on her. It turned her into a monster plant. she is the biggest one of all now. she was smallest to biggest, i even planted a replacement๐ but she did not die!!๐๐.
can you send me a link the site. please and thank you .
Now who's got the cola's stacking up? Nicely done. They're looking great. I don't have any input on how to adjust the PH since I'm in coco but they look healthy and happy. What are you using to test PH?
@Reefkeeper, I use a ph Pen and ph 6.86 and 4.5 to calibrate the pen. I tested the runoff and it's at 6.9-7.2. the girls got watered today watered at 6.3. I hope it helps move the ph a little down.
@MobyDick420ESP,
WoW 30 plants in a 2 foot by 4-foot tent. what size pots did you use? and how long did veg for? how much dry id you get out of 30 plants. ?? Are you joking??
@Puffer_Bill,
A few grower have jump in and help ๐๐๐๐ and point my in the right direction. thank you for being one of them . ๐๐ and the support is a real help.
@Puffer_Bill,
most of the time, i am not sure what to write, or what i need to report. and what is important? most of the time the girls are doing there own thing. the Only thing i have done is ph the water.
@killachronic,
thank you !!๐ I am worried about the harvest, my buds are finally starting to fil in and stack up. but there not plumping up, or getting frosty. can you send the powder sugar fairy and jack frost to my house? to help my girls out ๐
