Woah. She just keeps on gaining height. I remember readin somewhere that when grown in 11l pots they’ll only get to about 30cms - but that’s such misinformation 😂 that’s why I love learning from experience, even though the internet is a great source to gather information from.
Last week I discovered some bronze spots on her leaves - and they haven’t disappeared yet. I suspected a calmag deficiency, so I started giving her more of it. I don’t care if the damage done doesn’t go away - I just don’t want it to get worse.
06/11: Fed her. It seems like she empties her pot every second day now. I usually feed her until runoff - and I feed her a lot. Someone suggested that I feed her less, so I’ll see how that goes. Maybe that’ll make some nutrients more available to her - I don’t know. Also I found a sticker for my desktop computer that I never used (I hate stickers) and I thought it would look well on her pot. It reads “Do Not Disturb”
06/12: She’s looking good - beautiful flowers are popping up here and there.
06/13: Not looking too good today. I don’t know if she was underwatered, but she was all droopy all day. I fed her twice and now it’s just a waiting game to see how she’ll react to that.
06/14: She’s well today! It’s such a game between me and my dramatic plant... I guess she was just acting hangry with me yesterday.
06/15: I thought some of her leaves were looking a bit dark - and possibly tacoing a bit? But it could just be the light. Regardless, I gave a little less grow nute, to back down from nitrogen.
06/16: Nothing new to say. She’s gorgeous and dramatic.
06/17: Fed her today. Can’t wait for her to buds to fatten... I feel so impatient 😂

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.

Worried mom on the loose. Today I found that my little plant has a wrinkle on one of her leaves. What could it be from?
I’m wondering if she’s either dehydrated (4 days since last feed) or maybe the light intensity, because I turned it up a bit. Any advice?

ijustdontgiveafanswered grow question 4 years ago
While it's a controversial topic, as you said, it's hit or miss.. I think the growing environment plays a big role to this question. When i grow in my boxes, which are not very tall, then i top just to keep the size of the plant in check. That's of course next to lst as well. With larger growing strains, it might even be necessary (well, i shouldn't grow them in there, but that's another question ;))
If you have the vertical space then I think i would try to make a direct comparison, by growing 2 plants, one topped and one not, and then comparing the yield of each.
This way you could see and compare the differences in your specific environment (your light, your medium, your temperature/humidity, your nutrients and feeding schedule, and so on).
I'm sure some will say "no, it won't recover", while others will say "there will be more colas"..
Either way, i wish you happy growing whether you top it or not! ;)
HappySkunkstarted grow question 4 years ago
Just want to know if she’s looking okay. I see some brown-ish spots close to her new leaves and I’m hoping it just has something to do with the colour of her stems or some other insignificant reason.
I also know that some of the leaves are heat stressed - had some rough days.

Hi and congratulations!
Basic advice would be to keep the humidity on the lower side when the strecth is over (45-55 RH%) and also when the stretch is over you can switch to flowering nutes 'cos she wont be needing that much nitrogen anymore and more P and K 👌

Is it possible that this girl can drink 1 liter of water every day? I fed her yesterday, but today her pot felt super light, so I fed her again - no drooping is happening and she seems super okay with it.
She’s grown in an 11 liter pot and is about 36 cms tall - if that helps.

DrJynx86answered grow question 4 years ago
1 liter seems all right if your grow room is at a nice temperature and with good ventilation, your plant is looking awesome and a little monster for that pot size, and it's going to take up a lot of water with good conditions (heat/humidity/ventilation) and more overall efficiency when absorbing your lights.

Is it too early to even guess what yield she’ll have? She’s an autoflower gorilla glue at the start of her seventh week.
If it can be guessed, then what is your guess? 😬 she’s in an 11l pot (3 gallons i think?)

Hello
I think it's a little early to tell for certain... a lot can depend on feeding/light/training. The best suggestion i could give would be to defoliate the bottoms since youre only week 3 of flowering, that'll boost those top buds big time.
But you can aim in about 40-60 grams per square foot. Almost 2 feet right now so probably around 100 grams...
Just keep it as healthy as it looks now and I'm sure you'll be very happy. Plus those gorilla strains are always pretty strong.
Happy flowering.

Dark red or purple stems is bad during veg. Not sure how effects flower. I can see your stems are tri-toned. Add bit of cal-mag to your watering. Or put your pH around 6.7 until problem goes away.

Her pot was all dry and she looked droopy this morning, so I fed her 2l of nuted water 6 hours ago. She’s in an 11l pot.
I’m worried since she’s still not looking too good. Her lower leaves have lifted up a bit, but the top ones still don’t look too good.
Fed every other day.

Just keep giving bit of water every few hours. With pots dry she started sealing the uptake vein in the top of the stock to stay alive. Once realize there's water should open the main vein to the top again.

Yes, as the white pistils mature, they die off and go orange its perfectly normal and then new white hairs will keep coming out until they find some pollen to make seeds. We know its at its peak of Maturity when the plant is like 80% red hairs👍🌱

Experimentgreenanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hello
So she probably already is a bit sticky. If squeeze the buds they night feel a bit greasy and smelly. While your trichromes are growing they start out all thin and noodley...once the tops look bulbous, they're filling with resin more every day, thats how they get that lollipop look. As for really greasing out, you'll probably notice it mainly in those last weeks..since you're 7 weeks in, probably 2 weeks from now you'll really see the grease and the goo.
Some people think dropping your RH down in the last couple weeks helps trichromes a lot! * i am not 100% on this thought yet...but definitely worth trying.
Happy flowering. ✌️

Hey buddy, I’ve seen you been through a rough journey and during those period the plant didn’t get chance to grow properly.That could be the reason for slow ripe of bud even though they’re in long period of flowering circle.Now They are looking great and back in form.As long as they are not into any problem, the bud will ripe eventually.If you don’t want to be patient, change your light schedule to 12/12.Sure they will ripe faster.But It can cost your final yield.Good luck and happy growing.. ✌️

I’m not good at getting good trichome-shots of her - I really need a non-phone-relying microscope.
This is amber trichomes right? I honestly don’t know if it’s from the bud or the sugar leaves...

BlackXwidowanswered grow question 4 years ago
Looks like you are taking trichome pics from the leaf. The leaf will always show more advanced/deceptive trichomes.
Put your microscope/phone on the buds just under the main cola and a few more places to get a good overal idea of the plant. By looking at your grow it looks like your plant has several weeks left as it’s still putting out mostly white pistols and not a lot of color change. When the hairs start to recied back into the buds that’s when I start looking at thrichomes.

DrJynx86answered grow question 4 years ago
Genetics, nutrients and lights might give the purple hue to stems and leaves, also cold temperatures.
On peppers/hot peppers, purple pigment is generated because light is too powerful sometimes (is a good sign) and in cannabis too, it's probably more efficient than green at that stage of growing.
HappySkunkstarted grow question 4 years ago
What deficiencies are these? I’ve flushed her, ph’ed her water and I’m giving her a good amount of nutrients - no nitrogen for the past two weeks I think.
Is this just an age thing? I don’t need her to look perfect before harvest, but I’m afraid it’s affecting the bud maturity.

well the no nitrogen can be a culprit.. But we don't really care too much about the occasional leaf going to down side.. It's a good sign really as if your nitrogen intake is too high this won't happen and your bud can be "bad".

Any estimate or guess on when she’ll be done? Her pistils have been turning very amber this week. I’m trying to get a good trichome shot, but it’s not easy...
I know she has some way still, since I don’t really see any amber trichomes yet.

@HappySkunk, i understand..defoliation can be a little intimidating. But if you stick to only a leaf or 2 and then more if needed you won't typically remove more than you should. Otherwise tucking the leaves is another way of moving then away from new growth sites.

I'm glad you crossed the finish line! Turned out pretty good :) Might I add, since it does look like the buds got a bit roasted from the light, next time between week three and four try doing some lst. And continue through the grow. It looks like vertical height may have been the issue for that problem. When it comes to vertical height being a problem LST will help lower the height of those main sites that grow the most, as well as uniform growth throughout the majority of the rest of the grow. Just my opinion and i hope it helps in your next grow friend. In the end, i think you still did a killer job!

TCMYahmacommented4 years ago
@HappySkunk, Always happy to help. I'm fairly new myself honestly. I just have the same issue with height. I have a max height of 5Ft. So thinking a bit ahead im going to have to incorporate LST as well, train the main cola and larger bud sites down just to avoid cooking the buds myself. I will eventually invest into a larger tent, however for right now it's not an option. This is my solution to the very same problem. It won't only help increase all around yield, but it will also train it to the lower height i know i'm going to need. Aside from that problem that was out of your control this time, you did a REALLY good job. So i'm not by any means trying to assert any criticism or negativity. Only imparting what knowledge I have from research in that area. Just remember to continue the LST throughout the grow so it stays at the height you train it to. If a site is stretching up further than what you've allowed, tie it down. There is also another method that might interest you and be easier for a larger plant called SCROG. Look into both LST and SCROG and see what fits your needs best. Both will allow you to control the height of your grows to your wishes. Happy growing! again, great job!
