11/06 fed ~1l between gals. mild early hrs followed by cold front today = steady 18/19 for majority of lights on. not doing much atm given the bs split.
13/06 adjusted all ties on both gals and fed w remaining 750mls in bottle. don't want to speak too soon but bs seems to be recovering. pics uploaded.
14/06 mild daytime max of 14. tent humidity still rising - turned on exhaust as getting over 75+ and constant condensation even w light on. stabilising back to ~65 w it running and temp has dropped ~2deg. reading ~16 on mild daytime max 14. despite the split on bs, reckon this'll still be the final week of veg. both gals will be over 30cm and the end size of plants from this point will pretty much max out my setup. bought ozi magic sweetaz for bloom and a dehumidifier. turned exhaust off overnight to conserve heat, some cold nights coming up
15/06 removed sports tape from bs splint, seems to be healing well - pic uploaded. removed 1 of the lowest branches on bs cause it was scraggly. adjusted ties including an opposite direction main to bs - should be slightly pulling split together now. new mini oscillating fan arrived today. made up new lot of feed and fed ~1l between gals. didn't run exhaust today
16/06 cool daytime max (didn't reach 12) and 4 deg early hrs, tent readings only reaching ~18 and 16/17 for majority of lights on. replaced oscillating fan - the new doesn't tilt up. guess i have a spare mini fan & 12v adapter. still after a compact dehumidifier, definitely don't wanna fork out for new. lights off cooler than wk average, ~12
17/06 cold early hrs, min of 3 and tent dip ~14. cool readings all day averaging around 16. replacement fan has already stopped oscillating... absolute pos. fed last 1l of non-bloom nutes between both gals before lights out. uploaded pic - bs still isn't tied like her sis and is around 32cm. ls is ~31 trained.

Did u water well the lights were on? Potentially get any on those leaves? Water on the leaves during lights on can cause burning from the grow light being magnified. All areas affected look like potential leaves to get watered/splashed on.

howdy growbuds, noticing the pictured discolouration. hope someone w more experience/knowledge might recognise what's happening to my gals before it develops. advice/opinions welcome on if maybe nut burn/def, temp or ??? a heap more detail in entries to help diagnose. cheerz 🙏

Black or blueish patches on leaves (specially bottom ones first) are a first symptom of phosphorous deficiency, which is very common in the flowering stage, it means you need to up the flower nutes. Also I have to mention that it can also happen due ph been out of range and since you don't post pH values, I have to assume that you are not measuring and adjusting it, meaning it could be a reason for the issue you are having. Whatever the cause, the patches will start to look necrotic and if not solved, the issue will continue, severely affected leaves will develop dark metallic purple color patches, will also curl, wither and drop, as the plant takes the phosphorous out of the bottom leaves to try to power the bud formation.

hey growbuds, approaching harvest and after experience/advice on what this green sprout on one bud is?? seeds suggest 9-10wks flower and they're just hitting end of 9, is she on the cusp of going too long in bloom? things have been cruisey so no clue what else it could be. cheerz

These are male pollen sacs, not a good thing, your plant is starting to hermie. One of the biggest worries with a hermie (a plant with both female and male parts) is that the pollen sacs will burst and pollinate your flowers. This will "seed" your buds. In other words, this will cause your buds to start focusing on producing seeds. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember " Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time ".

@Maggie_de_Block, hey mate. hard for me to say as i haven't topped before, what i can say is that i'm happy with the results i got with fim'ing which i went with for 2 main reasons. 1. potential for 4 points of new growth and 2. slightly less stress as the butchered growth heals and continues to grow and the half leaves do their plant thang producing energy rather than losing all of it. seems overall tho that both techniques are equally utilised by experienced growers and many go for a combination of both. more important to just do em more than one being more effective than the other :)

Water spots are always a possibility too. On my 19 day old auto, it has a little bit of damage from light bleaching, water splash, and a fungal infection that was there probably before it sprouted and was introduced by contamination from my humidifier. Its hard to tell what damage is from which, except I learned from my first grow to be careful when watering (but its still easy to splash a leaf) and that if I did get any on a leaf, to kill the light until the plant dries so it doesn't become scorched through. Once it begins pre-flower, I'll switch from 24/0 to 18/6 since this strain gets picky about heat in flower and I don't have A/C.
I think Cal Mag is almost universally used even in soil (you might find some super soil users who don't need it). And I think every big nutrient company has a Cal Mag supplement. I didn't use it last grow and had major deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, and iron well before the end (they began around week 5). I think you burn a lot up in veg as calcium is needed by plants to develop healthy stems and leaves just as we need it to form teeth and bones.
A magnesium deficiency can take over 5 weeks to show symptoms and will often go with a calcium deficiency, but it has distinct signs of its own. At any rate, if you check the label of whatever your nutes are and compare it to what's in Cal Mag, you'll see its near universal (you probably don't have much of either in it and I doubt its in your soil unless its organic).
I like to keep it simple but I don't think you can dodge adding it, whether you buy it or make your own (its as simple as things like epsom salts for magnesium but I still preferred to just buy it once and be done with it).

@Spyder7, all about keeping it simple here too but yeah i'll be headed out to get a small bit in case more are spotting up over the coming week. sensi cal mag xtra looks like a locally available product. bloody hoping it's not a fungus/disease, but it is just getting into winter here so things are more ofter than not damp outside around this outdoor tent
