First Grow! Hindu Kush X Bloody Skunk

LetsBeBudz Planted 4/21, sprouted 4/26 (day 1). PH 6 water only first week. Had some yellowing of tips on my Zkittles Skunk. Not sure why as I'm a newbie and I haven't given any nutes or anything and didn't do anything to the coco other than wash.

LetsBeBudz Still had some discoloring on the Zkittles. Not entirely sure why as it started before nutes were introduced. Feeding like all the rest for now. Will keep an eye on it.

LetsBeBudz This is the only picture I could find from week 4. Things were going pretty smoothly up to this point! No smell, Feeding daily.

LetsBeBudz Leaves became a little droopy. Still had pretty good color. Figured it was being over watered. I let them dry out for a day and continued feeding as normal after, just being sure that the top of the coco was dry before rewatering

LetsBeBudz Leaves started becoming kind of a brighter green. Being a new grower I struggled with how to fix this. I ended up giving a little bit more Cal Mag. At this point I was still using tap water when feeding and this was the very firsts signs of the issues to come. Was fun to see the start of flower and the stretch has started.

LetsBeBudz Plants started showing signs of feeding issues. At the point of writing this I know it was from using too high ppm water mixed with not watering enough to drain excess nutes. I was also underfeeding a bit as well. Purple starting to show in the buds which was exciting to see!

LetsBeBudz As you can tell from the discoloring, the issues are continuing. As I'm still learning, I was trying different things to try and fix this. I bought an RO/DI system to improve my water quality but it didn't come in until week 10.

LetsBeBudz Started using RO water and increased the nutrients. As you can see, my fourth plant (a freebie seed that came with the others) turned out to not be an auto and is kind of taking over the tent. I started leaving her out of the tent in the dark for 12 hours overnight. hopefully that'll flip her into flower. The buds are fattening up and are becoming pretty frosty. I am starting to see some of the hairs turning orange which is a good sign. They seem to becoming healthier. Will be monitoring trichomes over the next couple of weeks.
