I don't know whether to increase the concentration of all three fertilizers or try to put only the bloom and adjust the pH I will try with only the bloom and see how the plant reacts, in case something goes wrong I have everything ready for a nice washing of the roots 🤞🏻🤞🏻 at the end of the week I started with LST (a little late I know) and I don't know if I am proceeding in the right way ... I was very unsure about trying because it was the first experience, but I said now or never 😅

how can i make sure my plant doesn't grow too slowly to be an autoflowering? I ask this because I see from the other diaries that after a week more than two leaves generally appear and become very large, unlike mine

Всё отлично, бро! Растение хорошо развито для первой недели, немного задержался "подшлемник" на растении, это случается и это не критично. Судя по последнему фото - у тебя всё в порядке, бро! 👍 👌

is there a method (which does not involve the purchase of a rather expensive device) to measure the lumens present in the growbox? I would like to make sure that the LEDs that I bought have the same performance declared on the package 😕

If you don't have a lux meter, you can try downloading an app that performs this function to your smartphone. it is not 100% reliable but you can still get an idea if you have a good smartphone. in the first days your seedling needs at least 4000/5000 lux to grow so I advise you to approach the lamp and try with your smartphone to help you adjust the distance.

I just received my first real pH meter and by testing the water with which I usually water the little one I discovered that its real pH is around 4 ... having a too low pH can be a problem? and how can I raise it without increasing the tds too much?

I discovered that I had irrigated with water at pH 3.5 for at least 5 days. yesterday I used water at pH 5.7 and today I think it will increase to 6, but I noticed that burns are already starting to appear so should I continue like this and hope for the best or do a root wash?

I think the only way to know is to check the runoff when watering and see what PH it gives you.. if it's in an ok range, then just leave it (don't try to compensate), as the damage was done and you don't want to push it the other direction, possibly making it worse.. the marks on the leaves will not recover, but check the new growth to ensure that this is fine moving forward. If you're in soil, i'd rather err on the higher side, so around 6.3, as 5.7/5.8 is more for hydroponics.. you might want to check out this link too: https://www.mandalaseeds.com/Guides/Water-and-pH

advice on how to start fertilizing? I read on some blogs that it’s better to water first with demineralized water and then give some with fertilizers, and on other blogs I also read the opposite (first the water with fertilizers and then the demineralized one). opinions? 🤔

You're looking for a third opinion? What exactly are you growing in? If you're taking the minerals the plant needs out by using demineralized water, what's your plan to provide them some other way, or do you have one? Last grow, which is curing now (my tent is now just waiting for the bean to sprout in its paper towel before it gets planted), I used Pro-mix "Premium Potting Soil" with plain de-chlorinated tap water for 21 days before adding anything, and the only stress to the plant during that time was of the type I created through making some early mistakes early, though the grow turned out well in terms of pure yield per watt used relative to my running it with almost no nutes (as close as I'll ever come). This grow, I plan to add a kelp based phytoplankton soil conditioner with an NPK value of 4-0-1 as my main veg nute (I'm only using it for veg) at 1/4 strength on day 7, half strength on day 14, and full strength on day 21 which is where the strain I grow begins transitioning to pre-flower, so I want to experiment with adding a little more than it strictly needs because in looking at other grow diaries, it seems like this strain might be okay with it and I'll be looking for any signs of nitrogen toxicity and I'll be prepared to flush and adjust if I'm wrong there (and I'm more familiar with it now that I've grown it). If you're three weeks in, and if that's an auto, you're probably close to early flower now and your plant should be ready for transition nutes and then bloom nutes. "Transition" nutes just reflect that because of the pre-flower stretch that's coming, you'll still need a lot of nitrogen and more then you'll find in a pure bloom nute as after the pre-flower stretch (after week 4 or 5), nitrogen needs taper down pretty quickly while there's an intermediate need in weeks 4-5 for more phosphorous, and past week 3 it'll also begin needing more and more potassium: the farther you go in flower, the greater the potassium need while the need for the other 2 falls off over time. This is the big three NPK ratio, and you need enough of each, and at the right time, plus calcium, magnesium, and several other trace elements. Now is the time to pick a nutrient schedule and brand and start feeding it, and also a good time to begin bookmarking resources on nutrient deficiencies/toxicity so that you know what to look for so you can catch either early. These nutes can be in liquid or powder form, and some are used only once and may be added into the soil directly as "top dressing," or mixed in periodically (weekly is normal for most nutes) with your watering, except for the final week or 2 where you only give plain water to flush them out.

I got a doubt (probably very stupid) and it is: photographing the plant with the flash in the dark hours do not risk confusing and stressing it?

Hi fellow grower, sweet grow you got going there. It's actually a pretty common question many people ask themselves before actually doing it being concerned for the plant. Taking photos in the night wont stress or confuse the plant or the plants light cycle. But messing around with the cycle for more than 1-2 hours can make your plant stress and hermie. It happened in my first grow long ago. But to answer your question shortly, no, it wont interrupt your girl if you take photos.💪🏻 Goodluck with the rest of your grow !

Hi! I think LST is really really simple technique and I can recommend to everyone. You can search million of different styles to do it from the internet but it really does not need any instructions. You just bend the top part down and tie it up, then you watch how the side branches starts to grow more and they become the new mains. Then after a while you can bend all the new tops down and tie em up etc. Just go slowly and feel the plant while you bend so you wont snap it. You can get more elasticity to the plants stems by wabbling them back and forth between your fingers and proceed slowly! Good luck and don't worry! 👌

the leaves below are starting to turn yellow and curl ☹️ I'm continuing to give 5 ml / l of fertilizer for flowering and now it should also have more light available since I moved the other two small ones to the other growbox I don't really know what's going on ... should I do a root wash?

Hey mate ;i went through your diary ;found that you are giving only ph perfect bloom since weeks 5 and 6. I use the same line of products and believe me ;those concentrations are way higher then required and also you need to give all the 3. Say it is your 6th week ; give 1.2ml each in 1 liter ;mixing in order as micro , then grow and then bloom. Also give this feed 2 times and then one full phed 6.0 plain water feeding. Doing this ;you would not lose a leaf till the end of harvest or till you flush them.

it's been almost 6 days since I washed the roots and the pot continues to seem heavy (even touching the ground you can feel it is still wet underneath) Do I keep waiting for it to dry completely? is there any trick to speed up this process?

Wait until it naturally dry. Roots are going to suck all the water inside flushing their nutes. You shouldn't have any problem. I have some plant which take 7 days to completely dry and some others which take just 2 or 3 days. It depends on how many roots there are and how big is the plant!

in the lower part of the plant some leaves are yellowing, others are drying out and even detaching. can it be due to the fact that since flushing (a week ago) I have not given anything to the plant anymore? I hope this does not compromise flowering

The lower leaves will always die off first. Its normal. They don't recieve much light anymore but if its happening aggresively and to lots of leaves, the plant is searching for nitrogen and can't find it in the soil. 🌱👍

Trichome is your best bet if you don’t know how to “feel” for a ripened bud. Breeders will ultimately have the fastest POSSIBLE flowering time listed to help sell there seeds. If you go an extra week to breeder recommendations you should be in the right ball park. Most people say a jewellers loupe is how they check. I bought one and I’m returning it. Can’t get a good enough look through the 60x to really tell. It’s a pain to get a good look and you need to check the plant as a whole really. I just invested in a USB microscope and it’s key. Happy growing

HI Emmma, I would increase the humidity a little. Since the root system is not yet developed, the plant grows better with a humidity of around 65 -70%. furthermore, the stem, before the transplant, seemed very elongated. Maybe you're holding the lights a little too far. Try to approach them a little at a time

@Cocomero, thank you very much for the advice, I will immediately begin to increase the humidity. as for the lights, for germination I was using a 23 watt blue led, while now I have moved it under the actual vegetative lights, but if I saw that it continues to lengthen even now, I will not hesitate to approach them

if you had a pH of 4 there would be many problems you can already see... so if you dont have any problems, and you dont means the expensive pen is wrongly calibrated. now you need to buy a calibration kit... that's why i use strips... no headaches always fine, i dont have enough time to calibrate every time... plus it's really easy to fully break these pens if you put them in too deep. Hope tihs helps !
