Found a seed in my bag of weed and with the loads of extra time I have in the situation we’re in I decided hey why not.
Got the seed started in tissue and then transferred to small pot , this a few days into the grow , I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing but thanks to growdiaries I’ve gained a fair bit of information from all of you guys on here , many thanks . I’m open to any tips or anything you notice I’m doing wrong please let me know
Just after the lights switched off is the best moment, but only in veg as it raise the humidity so it can create a rotten bud issue in flowering.
You can also foliar spray some nutrients like N or cal mag
Hi @U2malone put more small tuperware water containers. you can spray the walls of the grow with water whenever you can, and you can place some soaked towels spread over the grow. the humidity of your grow will certainly rise. good luck mate 👍
Would have liked a little more height but she’s bushy , leaves seem to be growing very close to one another and staying low in height, I don’t even know if she is a he or whether she’s an auto flower or not , no clue lol . This grow has got me preparing to seeds which I will be adding no diaries off , if this girl turns out to be a boy at least it’s got me buying the bits and getting ready for more growing :)
Seeing as I see nothing to make me think male or female yet , apart from more leaves after leaves, should I presume this plant isn’t an auto flower as were at week 5? I know the bag the seed was found in was a good smoke lol , will the seed be a female or could it go either way?
Hi @U2malone there are certain automatic strains that only start to bloom at 6/7 weeks. wait a little longer, if it doesn't start to bloom you will have to change the light hours to 12/12. Some automatic phenotypes on the market have genetic flaws and are not automatic plants, but normal female plants. see in the nodes of the plant if it has female calyx or pollen bags. the structure seems to me to be a female plant, if it’s automatic I don’t know. good luck mate 👍
Took some leaves off this week, not sure if I’ve done the right thing but leaves at the bottom were losing colour and I felt it was the right thing to do. Any advice is always appreciated. She has stretched a little this week just hopeful that it will start flowering soon . Many thanks for everyone’s feedback much appreciated . Stay safe 👍🏽
Can anyone tell from close up pic if this plant is male or female ? ,I’m looking at the close up pic of the stem and think I see female but might be wishful thinking
Still not flowering but she’s gaining height , by the end of next week if no signs of flowering I will accept that she is a photo plant . I am more confident she is a female 🤞🏽. Finding this seed has got me well into it now. Thanks to all you guys , you have given me plenty of info ,have got another two plants started which I will start a journal for soon . Feel like I’m a member of this great community now , one way to keep busy at these trying times . Happy growing everyone 💪🏽👍🏽
I’ve accepted she is not an auto flower and I’ve spent the last five days with a 12:12 light cycle, still nothing , my other plant which I started less than five weeks ago has already started flowering . I just dont know What to do with this plant , even thinking planting in the garden to free up room. Any help is appreciated. I have just put her in a bigger pot to see if it will help at all .
After 9 weeks no sign of Male or female , 12 hour light cycle for the last 5 days , is there anything else I can do apart from keep going with 12hr cycle to see flower or Male sacs , thinking to put out in the garden, worried it may effect my New York auto which is doing well
YES SHE’S A GIRL !
I want to thank OGGROWS, FRUITGROWER, SPINNNN and everyone else for there valuable guidance, as you can see she has started to flower, I am a very happy man. Bottom leaves are yellowing a little bit, even more important her leave tips are curling but she seems much better since the pot change .
She has started to flower, should I prune the leaves ? She is so dense, worried flowers will not get the space or light they need . Would Really love your feedback.
some tip curling and bottom leaves are yellowing but we did have a heat wave and I’ve done a recent pot change .
You have a nice healthy plant there! Flowers will form regardless of being in a dense canopy (my Blue Dream'Matic plant was dense and yielded 200g under a 100w QB). Even if the lower leaves don't get a lot of light, they can be a stored energy source later in the grow.
However, if you are getting high humidity or are worries about bud rot, then I would take away a little. For humidity issues, start at the bottom where leaves get the least light and remove those to reduce the overall transpiration of the plant. If airflow around the buds get so low that the buds are damp/at risk of mold, take away just enough to allow a healthy airflow in the middle of the canopy.
Early removal of flowering sites at the bottom of the plant is a good idea, just to focus growth and energy to the bigger more desirable buds.
Happy growing! 👍🌱
I’ve had to stick her under the stairs with a small fan for her 12hr night cycle as I have a New York City auto growing in the tent and two critical mass autos on there first week , my life will be easier once the photo period is Done as I will be focusing on autos and veg and flower plants can then grow together without me having to shuffle things round . Once the weather perks up I will give the autos as much real sun as possible and leave this plant in the tent for its night cycle . Being stuck indoors these plants have really given me a reason to get up in the morning and get on with it . Happy growing everyone 👍🏽
She’s budding well but leaves have curled down, I have given her a flush today and put her to rest for 12hrs .
Will feed later with bio bizz bloom , top Max and canna 13/14. Going to leave bio grow out as i want to lower the nitrogen Levels, hoping this will sort things out, will try lowering the ph a little too.
Had a lot of humidity issues this week. Dehumidifier has helped a little. Took a fair few leaves off this week to help humidity. Finding it difficult to give her 12/12 with three autoflowers in tent , thanks to a dark cupboard I’ve managed but makes my life more difficult. Had a bit of an issue with excess nutrients due to the introduction of pk 13/14 even though I introduced slowly following manufacturers recommendation. Next time I will introduce this even slower. For the last week all I’ve been giving her is Water. She’s doing ok 👍🏽 happy growing everyone
Seemed like the pk 13/14 was a little too much for my Betty so I stopped it.
I’ve had an infestation of thrips too due to giving my baby a bit of time outside soaking sun. No Pest strip In the tent 24hrs finished them off With no real damage done thank god.
No complaints here, buds are getting bigger and bigger and I’m getting happier. Little touch of the bud and you can feel how wonderfully sticky she is and smelly
All of a sudden buds have increased in size and has changed colour, leaves close to buds aren’t looking well. I’m now giving her plain water, can’t help but wonder weather the one feed of pk 13/14 caused this . Like the fact the buds have increased in size all of a sudden but some mini leaves have turned black that are in the buds , I’m thinking the pk13/14 might be responsible. I’m hoping it’s nothing to cause bud rot etc .
Top leaves turned brown overnight, That day I did come home to a disturbing temp off 31oC . It’s the black Mini leaves in buds that are worrying me more. lights came on accidentally for two hours so gave her 16hrs dark and back to 12/12
This may have contributed.
Some strains turn black or brown at the end of flowering, black means usually potent shit... Those pigments may disappear during drying though. I would not worry, and happy first harvest to you!
Debating whether I should harvest or keep going, love to hear some feedback from you guys please. I’d like to leave a few little buds on her and reveg her after to keep her going so I can get clones. I have no idea of the strain as she was a seed from a bag of weed .
In my experience revegging, harvesting a little bit early is good because the plant won't be as depleted of nutrients and "old".
But as gmslave said, in terms of harvesting peak she is still needing a week or two as there aren't many amber on the buds.
It's always better in my opinion to harvest one week later than one week early, I would wait, they will only get better!
Amazing work and happy smokes!
