Planted the seeds on 11/12/17 straight into coco+perlite mixture (coco from a brick) - sprouted in three days. These are 16 days from seed and I'm worried they're a little small. I'm growing in pretty controlled conditions, got passive intake and an extractor fan - ambient temps dont exceed 30°C in the grow room. 300W CFL hanging about 5 inch from the top of the tent. I water every 2 days with 1L of nutrient ph 6.5 water, containing canna A and canna B (1ml/L). The smaller plant (the Runt) popped a day later and seems to have yellowing on its leaves -
not sure why that is but any tips or comments would be appreciated! (:
UPDATE: 31/12/17 - Day 20
The plants have definitely increased their rate of growth, seen new leaves come out over the course of 24 hrs or so. Made a change in lighting from 24/0 to 18/6 and i think that's made a decent change. I'm struggling to keep the temps in my grow room down, they get up to 34-35 when the light is on and then down to like 25 when its off. know how i could keep the temps down? im growing in a closet so ventinf outside just isnt an option. I have an outake and and an intake fan although both of them arent extremely powerful due to restrictions on grow conditions. Also thinking of repotting from 1gal to 8L? initial plan was to have 3 autos in 1gal root nurse bags but the third didnt pop, would increasing the bag size have any worthwhile impact on the yield?
the runt suffering from some nute burn at day 20, gonna halve the feed not sure if i even need any right now probably do because im growing in coco coir as compared to soil
Hey bro, to me this is looking like caused by over watering, make sure that your medium is not moist before watering, sometimes the upper layer is but if you stick your finger you will see that there is water in the pot, another way is feeling the weight of the pot, and furthermore you can see how the plant react when you water, if you water and she droops is overwater, if drooping and bounces up after water she is underwater. You can implement a cal mag supplement to help correct the deficiencies, generally you give once a week than repeat if necessary. Suggest also, having a look on the EC too see if the nutes amount is correct. Good Luck, happy growing 👍
@CANNASIM, i've changed both of my fans to outake fans to get rid of as much hot air as possible and have a passive intake through a negative pressure and managed to drop it from 34C to 31C which is a start i think i'll need to invest in even more fans. some cheap PC ones should do i reckon. EC meter will be ordered later this week in addition to the cal mag supplement too. chucked a wet towel in there, will monitor humidity over the course of the next couple days - thanks for the advice, i've uploaded the first day of week 3 if you would be interested in taking a look! 😊
@Truro, ah if you can lower the temp to 26c would be great and rise the humidity to at least 60%, this crates a nice micro climat, for the humidity you can try raising by using keeping a wet towel in your grow.
@Truro, Hi there, no probl count on me.
One thing to observe is that autos like the final pot from scratch, as less stress you may do better, so next time try putting them directly in the final destination to avoid transplant shock and things that cause the girls to get stunt.
The EC, help a bit to know how much nutes are going in the medium, 👍🏻👊🏻 .
I suggest you give your girls some cal mag try one feed with it next watering, once a week and repeat if needed next week, i also see you gave only canna coco part B, as is a two part sistem don’t forget part A if that is the case, have a look on their suggested schedule for quantities and start lower then you increase slowly to the suggested dose controlling the leaves color, tips curling or burning for over fert.
You also may considere some roots enhancer, to keep it simple i suggest recharge that is just awesome if you want to give a go.
Well good luck, happy growing and happy new year! 👊🏻🙃🙃👍🏻 Cheers
Looking good, mine is about 4 weeks behind where I wanted to be, although technically I'm still only on flowering week 7 since the buds formed properly... Week 15 overall :-
@Jerboa, thanks man, i'm pumped. one of the buds has gotten particularly smelly which is always a good sign. hope the storm hasnt affected temperatures too much buddy ☺️
@Jerboa, I reckon the advertised times that these seedbanks are putting out should be increased by atleast 20% to come to being even close to realistic. This auto was meant to have a flower cycle of 45 days. that on top of a 3 week standard auto veg would put it at a little over 9 weeks and i'm still in mid flower at week 10 lmao 😂
@Truro, 👋🏻👋🏻🙃🙃 if you see that the tips start to curl like nailing and burn is too much, just a tip if you run in to the opposite of you have now 👊🏻👊🏻 Cheers
@Lightbrave, cheers buddy was quite concerned as this is my first grow and i had some issues with germination but i'm glad to hear that it's common. any advice on nute feeds? I got CANNA A + B
@Truro, Yes, the rhizo and calmag are fine to add - I would just invest in some lower spectrum K lighting for the flowering period! Should be fairly cheap. Hope that helps.
@IndoorUKgrows, dude completely ignore what it says on the sensi website - this strain is not "fast" by any means, genuinely a pain in the ass. just wait it out and dont start your flush too early, more lighting is better and don't overnute. most importantly, see it out til the end it's all a valuable learning experience
@PigBearMan, thanks man - went for the whole spiral thing before flower but it just got out of hand 😅 also, great work with your sea of whales! keep up the fantastic growing (+ the nautical puns)!
Wow those buds are starting to look like they juicing right up! Well done fair play mate. In my opinion, I would run her for two more weeks last being flushing. Looks like you giving her a few shocks in her grow so that could be 2 weeks of really slow growth which mean a longer flower, you even stretch another 3 weeks? Just talking from experience! But interesting to see how and when u harvest this beaut :flag-gb:
