Again some bad change in color appeared and again it was right the next day after I blocked airflow putting something big on top of the box. UPD: I need to keep them small till ~ end of the next week so I will most likely start to mainline them soon.

Grow Questions

bobtheblobstarted grow question 5 years ago
Should I defoliate? :-) I see at least one reason already - there's not so much space, no sub lighting and lower branches are blocked from light.

I think this is the most controversial topic around growing cannabis and it is very difficult to find a good side by side comparison online. I plan to do one on my next grow. At the moment I defoliate. My thought is that it will increase air flow and will direct the plants energy to the appropriate place. I generally do a first defoliation right before flower and then another after 21 days. Hopefully this helps! Happy Growing!

Nice, they look amazing and the difference between week 6-8 is incredible. It flashes me every time, wow ๐Ÿ˜› I will flip my clones tomorrow, it will be interesting to see them grow along yours. โœŒ๏ธ

@starke, first of all thanks, I really appreciate your kind words! I hope something would stop me from ruining the harvest by vandalizing them trying to get high on whatever is there ๐Ÿ˜„ And I was surprised when checked week 6, didn't notice this before cuz I check them multiple times a day and getting used to their size gradually. About flowering switch - the less you know the better you sleep ๐Ÿ˜‹ I remember when I just started I was mostly crossing fingers. And your comment gave me paranoia that these yellowish leaves at the bottom is not-so-normal and it might mean that they need more nitrogen... There were few, and I pluck them and cut tiny lower branches. When I was doing DWC I was simply following (well, trying to follow) the schedule, and everything was OK for me. I was overfeeding them most of the time and only quite recently I got to know that high EC solutions also tend to slow down growth and it is related to the osmotic pressure so that if you want to speed it up you can try lowering the EC. I'm staying away from trying to understand how much exactly P or K or N plant needs at specific stages, so just following the manufacturer's guidelines and hoping for the best ๐Ÿ˜Š Besides that cannabis is a pretty strong species - if the environment is somewhat OK, messing with the nutrients shouldn't be super dramatic usually. And if you're not using the soil you can control it easier, the soil has inertia and your mistakes hit you in a couple of weeks, that's why I'm avoiding it. Fail fast ๐Ÿ˜ The worst things were happening to me when humidity was low, temperature high, PH levels were funky and plants were at the early veg stages, the growth was becoming super stunned and I was scratching my head trying to figure out what's the reason. And if it's auto then all you got is a weird ugly dwarf-lady.

@bobtheblob, I'm putting it out there for you, you're gonna do incredible ;) To me the transitioning into flower is a bit more tricky, taking away the nitrogen and adding bloom nutes... Haven't found the right balance yet.

@starke, I thought exactly the same when was checking your clones ๐Ÿ˜ฌ But I bet you'll have more buds because of monstercropping ๐Ÿ˜‰ And I'm incredibly bad at later stages, I guess I never cured anything properly, smoking everything

Now that the girls have been repotted into new homes get ready for a growth explosion ๐Ÿค— Thank you as always for the diary update ๐Ÿ‘Š Stay safe in these crazy times ๐Ÿ™ Kind regards โœŒ๏ธ Team-HSO..

Are you doing any "plane" water feeding? Or, are you feeding nutrients every feed? Kind regards โœŒ๏ธ Team-HSO..

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, thank you so much for your questions :-D So the runoff was insane, around 3-5k ppm, probably old salts soaked into the pots when I removed the platforms. I flushed ladies. The solution is 1k ppm max. I'll update the diary. Thanks again. I did the flush but I don't do them periodically. I know that some practice it and also let the pots dry a bit to make roots more 'airy' and then feed them to boost the buds, but I used to do DWC mostly before. So you noticed growth slowing?

@bobtheblob, do you know your ec/ppm of your feed/nutrient solution? Also, what's your run-off ec/ppm? And are you doing a flush periodically? Kind regards โœŒ๏ธ Team-HSO..

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, 2 days nutes/2 days plain water + Cannazym. I see tips are burned, should I decrease the amount of nutes? WDYT

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Hello fellow Californians! Thank you very much for your kind words. And thanks for the work you do. I'm impressed by what you've done so far and would like to try a lot of your strains :-) Are you interested because of the weirdness and minimalism of the setup or just because? I'm actually thinking of going more 'normal' in a week or maybe two. Btw the seed itself was about 2 or 3 years since I bought it, and probably even older since I bought it in some online retail. :-D Germinated just fine :-) BTW the seed itself is about 2 or 3 years now, it was last of the 5 I had, I remember it was good for my anxiety
