Layout update
The new LED bulb's arrived and I replaced the CFL's with therm, now the temperature is no more an issue, the humidity is around 60%, which is ok at the moment, but i have no idea how to decrease it as the flowering stage progresses.
Royal Jack Automatic
The Jack is in the middle of the flowering stage, this week had some stretching but it is slowing down. I made some defoliation, maybe too much, it's not showing any signal of suffering, so i think it's ok.
I'm pretty worried about the claw leaves on the flowers at the top of the plant, I read it could be an excess of Nitrogen. The main concern I have is that before i recognized the issue i put some coffee grounds in the soil and this is probably going to worse things. Now I'm only giving Bloom Tablets, I'll wait and see if the problem spreads or stops ๐
On the bright side I can tell that there are some nice buds that are growing and i can also spot trichomes through the leaves ๐
Royal Critical Atumatic
The Critical is doing well, she stretched during the week and had some LST, the little weirdo is showing some mutation on its leaves and is ready to get in the flowering stage.
I already started with a mix of growing and bloom booster, no issues until now.
I think that I'm not going to make so much defoliation as I made on the Jack so I can see which is the best way to go ๐
This has been an intense week, I am still learning how to do things the right way, sometimes it is to do nothing.
Just keep it simple.
I'm happy ๐
Noticed claw leaves and purple stem, identified Nitrogen overfert, also had some tips burnt
Once I reduced the nutrients some leaves turned yellow, at the same time the burns spread
Flushed the soil with ph balanced water and stopped nutes
What should I do now?
looks like you had a nitrogen abundance for sure! Flushing was a good choice. Make sure to start feeding with a lower (very low) dose of nitrogen after the flush BUT you have also flushed all the other nutrients than nitrogen. Meaning:
Leaves turning yellow after the flush would be quite a fast reaction (from nitrogen abundance to nitrogen deficiency)
Its more likely that you have washed out all of the magnesium and the plant suffers from a magnesium deficiency.
(Symptoms are almost the same as nitrogen deficiency)
I would recommend adding some extra CalMag + feeding with half amount of nitrogen that you've used before. If all the leaves turn pale green (although you've been feeding extra CalMag) you can consider raising the amount of nitrogen again until you've found the sweet spot for nitrogen.
I'm growing the exact same strains atm. It's my first grow to and I'm really excited. at day 20 for my plants.
Do they stink badly and which one stinks the most?
@Mydutchgrows, awesome!! ๐๐
At the moment the Royal Jack is pretty stinky but it's under control thanks to a little carbon filter, when i leave the growbox open for few minutes the smell goes all over the room, but it is not extremely intense and if you open the windows for 10 minutes everything returns to normality. ๐
Consider that I'm growing in 3.8 L pots and the plants are little.
The Critical has just begun the flowering stage, so it's not really stinky yet.
I'll keep posting updates in the next weeks ๐
Good luck with your grow!!! ๐ช๐
