05/06/2020 - Plant seems to be recovering well after feeding a higher concentration of nutes at ph 6. Growth has exploded again mainly on the pistils; they are plentiful all over the plant.
06/06/2020 - Plant seems to have recovered. Looking a good colour of green and growth has been on the up for the past couple days. Its drinking plenty water per day and looks healthy.
Ive upped my nutes from 25ml/10L to 40ml/10L with added PK13/14 as were in flowering.
07/06/2020 - We're back on track; using the same concentration of nutrients as yesterday with more PK13/14 added. Not used any super thrive yet as I've seen some bad feedback on it when used with cannabis online.
Pistils and buds are fattening and showing EVERYWHERE!!
Northern lights is really dense and a lush deep green; no real strong odour from either plant yet.
Nutrient mix
40ml/10L Canna coco A+B
10ml PK13/14
PH 6
Runoff 6.1ph
Temperature ~23c
I'm not going to top either plant for my first grow although i will be doing some defoliation tomorrow to improve QO's yield.
08/07/2020 - Same nute mix used as yesterday; shes drinking at about a rate of 1L or more per day! NL is growing into a very healthy looking plant.
Very little smell inside or outside of the tent. Some very minor defoliation of smaller leaves at the bottom of QO has been done today to enhance bud growth.
Lights are still on 24hrs a day.
It's looking very good!!
11/07/2020 - Plant growth is relentless on both; they're drinking their full watered pot in less than 1-2 days average. QO is showing many flowers on nodes and NL is dense; a lush green and very healthy.
I'm happy with how the grow is currently performing.
Feed was at 40ml a+b and 20ml of pk13/14
PH 6.2
TDS 1050
Solution temp 17
Ambient temp 22
Runoff PH 6.3
p.s. The plants have somehow managed to grow roots through my fabric smart pots wth?
14/07/2020 - Nothing crazy to report; nothing much has changed barring that the plants are covered in sticky waxy pistils and they smell great. The pictures don't do it justice... I think I'm onto a winner here.
I've tied some of the hefty weight-bearing branches to the tent poles to stop her snapping.
16/07/2020 - Defoliation tonight; well see how they look in the next few days. They're looking very healthy with loads of bud sites on the plant. Hopefully, I can further maximize yields.
Nute mix and ph are almost identical as last feed.
Temps are around 26c at the hottest.
Its been around 20-30c since germination, 1cm under the soil with solid airflow in the room. Can anyone see a reason why my second seed is slower to germinate?
Hi there!
Sometimes the seeds take longer to germinate and there is lots of different factors affecting that. Viability and maturity of the seed, how the have been stored and handled etc.
Some seeds can take even two weeks to germinate so never give up until you are sure it is not going to germinate 👌
Turns out my second seed was growing upside down and the taproot had been growing towards the light for ~8 days. I've since transplanted and the seed doesn't seem to be growing much at all; although it has changed colour from being a yellowish hue to green. Is it likely a dud now
It will put it a little behind but from what I can tell the most important part of the autoflower is the flowering cycle. That's when it needs little to no stress!! Cheers and happy growing!
The hygrometer measure from the back part, if it's on soil and measuring 65% it's a really dry place! You should protect the little root system of your plant, covering the leaves so they don't demand too much water from it! Also try not to over water the soil, let it a bit dry, just water on the place the seedling is one time, the others you may water around her.
How do I mix A+B coco feed nutrients from hornet hydroponics? They have no instructions online or on any of the packaging, should I just use another brand to make an estimate?
Link to nutes: https://www.kitbagshop.co.uk/product/hornet-coco-ab/
with a&b nutrients mix always the same amount of a & b
1ml a equals 1ml b
For the strength of your feed it’s best to use a ppm meter so you know exactly what you feed..if you wanna feed with out ppm meter mix up a badge with low level of nutrients with younger plants and slowly increase the amount of nutrients as the plant grows..by the time you reach flower you should be feeding at the ratio the manufacturer has put on the label
But once again I prefer a ppm meter above feeding blind
Happy growing and stay safe
Please can someone take a look at this?does this look like a nutrient deficiency?
I'm growing in coco and haven't used any nutrients until today(Day 22)... From what I've read online im missing nitrogen or magnesium.
The plant is yellowing from the bottom up and is a light green.
Your plant still has cotlydon leaves and should still be young enough to go without feed, or very little. I'm unconvinced it's a deficiency. Your in coco which pretty much rules out overwatering... but could u be allowing ur coco to dry out? You should NOT let ur coco dry. In that case it would show underwatering yellowing. Your lights look at a good height so it's not light intensity. Mabey and I mean slight chance it's a deficiency it be nitrogen but I'm not leaning that way.
yeah.. give her normal concentration in coco. At least around the plant, not the full pot, if larger. match canopy, maybe a bit more. probably good to rehydrate outer area too but not with nutes, otherwise you end up with buildup where roots don't exist.
seeds are good for a while. watch the cotyledons for earliest signs it needs more nutes. typically, coco is buffered too, so you typically have a little in there to start. see those tiny leaves fade a tad, start your regular feeding relative to plant size.
Almost there.. See some pre-flowers shooting out.. It's really easy to see when flowering start as there's just massive amounts of tiny white hairs jutting from the budsites.. looks to me like it's just really rapid growth and some pre-flowers atm.. Happy growing friend ! 👊
After not changing my lighting or watering schedule both of my plants germinated at different dates are having their stems droop + turn purple; is my nutrient mix weak? My runoff ph is 6.2 and there's no sign of any nute burn; theyre fed ~every two days in coco with canna ab
Приветствую, бро! 👋 Твоя девочка испытывает небольшой дефицит фосфора (красная или фиолетовая ножка листвы). Дефицит фосфора вызван скорее всего избытком азота, но у тебя начальная стадия дефицита и это не опасно, но стоит принять меры! Кормите свою девочку в отношении 1:3 (grow:bloom). В добавке "grow" много азота, ее понизь, а в добавке "bloom" много фосфора, ее увеличь. К середине цветения откажись от добавки grow и применяй только добавку bloom! 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро!
I have two plants growing in my first grow setup ever. One plant is late flowering that hasn't been topped (looks great)and the other is vegging and showing some preflowers. I can't decide on whether to top my plant for more colas... please see images
Привет, бро! 👋
Да, ты можешь совершить topping с тем растением, которое ниже и ещё находится на границе вегетации и цветения, но делай это как можно быстрее, так как совсем скоро она покажет свои волоски и цветы, тогда уже topping будет бессмысленным делом, мало того, он ещё может и затормозить развитие растения на 1 неделю! 👆
Решайся или сейчас это делать незамедлительно или уже не стоит думать об этом, если ты сомневаешься! 👆
Удачи, друг! ✊😇
@Complicate, thanks for your feedback! NL is definitely in good standing to be a stronger plant; its a great deep green colour with thick healthy growth (foliage and stems). Must be good genetics!! I'm definitely a fan so far!
@Psilocubensis, thankyou for your reply and advice! Im trying to dry out the medium between watering to prevent this from happening. Thankyou for your comment; all feedback is welcome.
Looking good, I just ran the RQS NL and I have to admit that I'm a fan, nice and clear, but I cut too early. Keep up the good work and thanks for writing a bunch. Stay safe, grow safe, be well!
