Moved over to 4x3gallon smart pots and 1x5 gallon smart pot. Named the plants to get more personal, obviously based on a theme. Maybe someone over the age of 25 will know what it is? Watered with 1 liter per plant except for Bosley, that one got 1.5liter. I feel like I might need to add more water but skeptical to it. This is my third time trying to grow, first time with a proper setup not solo cups and a HPS light in the basement but an actual tent and LED light with decent air traffic.
Any comments/suggestions always appreciated.
Second one looks like it's dying and not sure why, sticking with the same 72hour schedule for watering for all the plants. The others looked better compared to last weeks pictures.
beginning of week 5.. looking like a cal mag deficiency and discussed with a few people that said it might be that as well. Ordered calmag nutrigents for them that will go in the next feeding. Should be in the next few days.
Girls were due for a watering last night, added water and calmag supplements as part of recommendations both here and on reddit. Will take a picture later today or tomorrow when the LED is off for a better quality/visual of the actual colors of the plants.
Pic 1 is about 6-7 inches, all the plants are showing the same 'yellowing' on the bottom leafs.
Pic 2 is about 3-4 inches
Pic 3 is about 8-9
Pic 4 is 12 inches now
Pic 5 is 6-7 inches.
See week 7 for the yellowing of the tips without the LED light. Will try and take pictures before the light turn on tonight.
Added week8 day 1 pictures with no LED
Still one little guy struggling, the middle one took off (different soil probably why) Not sure when to start flowering, might just throw 4 out and stick with the big one. Deff doing autoflowering next time since I'm still very green to this.
Week 10, still only one growing "big" and it's the middle one. Not sure whats going on with all the other fellas. Haven't gotten nutes for a little over a week now.
No nutes for the past 2 weeks now and all of them seem to be growing slow and steady. Not sure when to switch over or what to do with the dead leaves but i'm sure someone will help out with that in the comments. The middle one is getting pretty big right about now too.
Might move 2-3 plants (the smallest ones) to another tent. Been thinking about buying a 2nd tent to be able and switch the two bigger ones to flowering since they seem so far ahead. Almost 20" tall now. Feedback is welcomed.
Switched over to flowering now, win or lose it's a learning experience. Ordered another tent as well as the same soil I used for the "big" plant. Also ordered a little "easier" crops according to their descriptions.
For these they actually picked up a little bit at the end, all but one. She's dead to me.
Had a real scare with 1 plant 5 days ago. Wasn't sure but seemed to be under watered, moved it in to it's own tent to see if it was able to be recovered, so far so good.
Smell is getting weaker sadly, also lost power for 24 hours so not sure how the plants looks now.
The failure of a plant seems to have recovered with a little TLC this week. Even the smallest plant that I thought for sure was a goner recovered a little, reaching about 10 inches now. Giving Fox farm nutes every 4th watering right now, need to get a soil testing kit to make sure the soil is good. The PH for waterings are about 6.5-6.7 with the fox farm. Hopefully about 5 more weeks then I should be able to harvest this. That's the magic number I put in my head unless someone else has a better number?
No nutes used in 2 weeks, been trying to stabilize the PH which is now at 6 so next feeding will get some nutes. The last picture has a little hanger, not sure whats wrong with it right now but have to watch her closely.
Last week watered with big bloom and tiger bloom once, and once with just big bloom. Both times 10ml/gallon. Next watering (today) will be straight water with a ph of 6.0. After getting the ph tester I feel like I test the water in my house about 5 times a day with strips/drops/digital meter and so far it's amazing to see the difference. The first 2 months I've watered with 7+ ph every time. Last 2 weeks is when I've actually taken control over it.
Updated with mid week pictures
If the estimate is right on nirvana's website I got 1-3 weeks left but it feels like they might need more. The nugs are not that big still and even the plants are not that big. About 20"+ for the biggest one and 15 for smallest.
I’ve got to say you’ve got me a little stumped. Your plants have shown nute burn from a very early stage of growth on through now. But I dont think that’s the only thing that is causing your drooping leaves I believe that is because your low humidity. Your plants look to me like they are getting to much mag but the only nutrients that you’ve listed don’t contain any so there are some inconsistencies that aren’t making sense to me.
Was out of town this week so had my BIL water each plant with just .5L of plain water, felt the plants this morning and they were on the way to get a little dry. Will do a feeding today with nutes and hopefully it will be the last as it has been flowering for 7 weeks now. Any suggestions to how much is left is greatly appreciated.
Dont think these are going to get much bigger, my other grow is only 4 weeks and about to pass these girls in height. Hopefully I should be able and harvest these in 2 weeks or less so I can start another grow and hopefully doing it right this time.
I put normal and neutral since this was my first grow and I learned a lot. Will have to buy more of these seeds so I can try it again after picking up a ton of information during the first time around
First grow and doing a CBD was probably not the best choice as it took super long because of my inexperience but I stuck with it and got some smokable weed that worked perfectly. Only smoked about 4gs of it so far letting the rest cure for a while. For some reason the first night it tasted like seaweed and the second night just like any other medical strain. If you have grown two or three plants before I recommend trying this strain. Even with a fuck up like me it gets the job done and more
@PigBearMan, I send that image to everyone I can my dude. Thank you for helping people <3
I have a 3 foot by 5 foot poster of that bad boy framed in my grow room :D
@Ripper, Thanks man, feel like they all were dying but got hopes on one at least making it. Will put up better pictures later today or tomorrow without the LED brightness.
Congratz on the recovery. I use foxfarm soil, and I find it stays at a neutral level around 7. This is ok for soil as it acts as a buffer for nutrient uptake so there is a little more wiggle room. The only Problem I've forseen would be iron uptake which tapers off at the 7-7. 3 range, so I usually water at about a 6.0-6.2 area then I measure my runoff about once a week. It usually stays around 6.5-6.7 afterward.
@Jeff123fish, the sad part is that I never really used nutes in the beginning, I think I used it once or twice during the first 5-6 weeks at half the dosage so then when people said nutes burn I just stopped. Picked it up again following fox farm schedule in week 15/16.
@Dirtydraggel, after looking up your soils I’m going with that as your biggest problem as this stuff if nothing else is wildly inconsistent some is really hot some won’t hold water but most of all the bag says it’s meant to be used with other soils as a soil amender
@Jeff123fish, https://www.lowes.com/pd/EcoScraps-32-Quart-Container-Mix/999990018 is the lowes soild and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00553BLPA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is the az soil. Neither of the plants are really "fluffy" in the dirt its rather compact
@Dirtydraggel, well if I’m seeing things right it looks like the cheap Lowe’s mix causes you a lot of problems and the better soil from Amazon has much healthier plants. Maybe the cheaper soil is compacted and restricting root growth? Or preventing your roots from getting good air flow? I would check to make sure it’s still light and fluffy
Yep, looks like you're recovering or the symptoms would have spread. That's always a bit slow going. Thankfully it's a photo and you can just veg a bit longer!
You should be able to re-introduce properly dosed and pH-balanced nutes starting at weak feed and moving up if you want to be paranoid. If you want to be sure, you can water them in a tray and test the runoff to make sure the bottom of the pot's pH isn't too off.
She's gonna do fine!
@Dirtydraggel,ok.
Då håller jag tummarna för att exprimentet går bra.
Jag rekomenderar dig att flusha plantan ordentligt med vatten som är ph justerat till 6 och sen låta den torka ut i flera dagar och sen ge den ordentligt med näring och vatten så kommer den att bli glad.
Man bör flusha plantan en gång under veg någon eller några veckor innan man startar blom och en gång till när stretchen i blom är klar och sen 2 veckor innan skörd.
Men det viktigaste när man använder näring är att ha ett jämt ph värde runt 6 och att plantan får torka ur efter man har vattnat dom innan man ger vatten/näring igen.
Är PH i plantan för högt eller lågt så kan du använda en liter näring och plantan kan ändå inte ta till sig näringen och visar spår på näringsbrist.
Plantan börjar äta upp sig själv i jakten på näring.
@CBD_Sweden, Har kollat lite med denna https://www.amazon.com/Moisture-acidity-Outdoor-Battery-Indicator/dp/B01M1CRG6R/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1515678868&sr=8-11&keywords=ph+reader men verkar inte fa basta resultaten med det. Hjalper mycket med att titta nar det ska vattnas nu dock. Har anvant fox farm veg 2 ganger, senast var 12/31/17 med 3 tbsp per gallon (stog 3-4 pa flaskan) innan det korde jag inget med naring. Vattnade i sondags och har inte satt in nagot annat an iom 3/5 planter visar 'wet' fortfarande pa mataren och 2 ar moist (1-10 skala, 1-4 dry, 4-7 moist, 8-10 wet) Har jag lite tur idag ar en planta dry nar jag kommer hem sa den far bli mitt experiment.
@Dirtydraggel, Har du någon koll på ditt PH?
Det är brist på en del näringsämnen i din planta, men jag tror det beror på att plantan inte kan ta upp näringen.
Inte på grund av för lite tillsatt näring.
Om du har för högt eller lågt ph så klarar inte plantan av att ta upp näringen och börjar ta näring från bladen istället från jorden och rötterna.
Ditt PH bör ligga stadigt i näringslösningen blandat med vatten på 5.8-6.3 för optimalt näringsuptag.
Villken typ av näring använder du och villket märke?
Hur ofta ger du den näring?
När plantan börjar se ut sådär så börjar det bli brottom att göra något och göra det rätt.
Så om jag får veta vad jag frågade om så kan jag förmodligen hjälpa dig att komma i ordning med problemen snabbt.
@DudeGrowsWeed, Humidity in that tent is between 28-35% always have been, also PHdown after big bloom. Last 2 waterings have been straight water now and the third one will be as well (going out of town and left simple instructions to brother in law) Added 2 new pictures without the purple light
@Dirtydraggel, This came up on my Twitter feed this morning. Maybe your humidity is too low.

Looks like it had a hard time during one of its rooting phases in early veg. Good salvage, tbh.
How is the effect medically? Very interested in "trip reports" on different CBD strains; some are better for some symptoms than others.
@Dirtydraggel, would guess the taste is the chlorophyll. Takes a long time to break it down, shortened by keeping the bud from drying out (iirc, the living plant breaks the chlorophyll down itself, whereas once it dies the process takes longer).
Curing is harder than it sounds; some people have better first luck, I'm just now getting my results more consistent several grows in.
@Jaindoh, Still got most of it in curing however whatever I smoked after 3 days was very relaxing, not a couch lock but couldn't feel the back pain (2 torn discs) for a while and slept pretty good. No dry mouth, no couch from it, was smooth. The flavor was like seaweed probably cause it was a little wet but the second time had no real taste.
@Dirtydraggel, i know the feeling, as soon as you cure it out and make it a month or two without buying and can go "okay that tent is in the black" it feels a lot better. Then you need more stuff and youre like "argh i'm months in and back in the red"
then you get the next crops after that and it's just like "oh man, this is gonna be CHEAP" XD
@Jaindoh, Switched them yesterday all 5, yolo. Ordered a second tent since this is actually kind of fun and ordered some white widow to try next. Hopefully this will turn out somewhat nice, deff not doing it for the money since I've sunk in $1k into it now without smoking (so far)
