Day 22: The two plants seems to be good Nothing much to say for the moment, I can't wait for the harvest Day 23: I bought a pH meter and a new fan Day 25: My plants #2 is starting to have yellow dots on her leaves... I'm very anxious about this.. I hope she won't die. I don't see what I did wrong, maybe an overdose of nutrients. The thing that I'm sure is that I didn't sprayed water directly on the leaves... I hope she will survive

Day 29: I'm pretty disappointed about my first grow Plants seems to be ok but have sign of nute burn (hypothesis) I'll try to water them without nutrients until day 36 to see what happen I don't want to give up, but I have no hope for the moment Day 31: The temperature make me crazy, fucking 30°C during the day and 28°C during night I can't find solutions to get a lower temperature in this stupid tent, i hate the summer, I hate this bad luck, FML x100

Looks like your temps and that slight nute burn set her back but don't give up on her! They are weeds for a reason! What doesn't kill it will only make it stronger right? Happy growing man! You can do it!

The grow is still pretty slow for me but I have patience and I hope for a big harvest My goals are at least 30g per plants but I don't think they will give me this amount of buds because they are very small

Hey Growmie, If you're having issues with the plant flowering you can change the light cycle to 12/12 to help even though it's an autoflower, I've a had few autos do the same thing they seem to forget they're autoflowers. Lol. Hopefully, this was helpful and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

If these are autoflowering seeds then they don't need to switch to switch to a 12/12 light cycle 18/6 is their favorite schedule. Switch em back and cross your fingers is all I can say.

Hello buddy.. Hope ur well.. Dont stress.. Each plant u grow is a learning curve.. Id definitely keep light on for at least 18hrs.. They are pretty much ready as they are tho tbh.. Nxt time keep lights on longer.. This shud help reduce humidity aswell as more heat in room is produced(if vented).. Flush ur girls n harvest in my opinion.. They got orange pistils all over so she ready in my opinion.. Stay safe n best of luck on your next grows.. Dont give up buddy!!..👍🍀

Don't be dissapointed my friend...the first grows are knowledge grows...you have learnt so many things so far from your plants...keep that knowledge and apply it in your future projects...we all made and make mistakes and learn from it...

@Sam_The_Herborist, look friend. I would try to feed them with phosphorus. because they look good but small. try monopotassium phosphate. but don't burn them.

@Sam_The_Herborist, i think it's not so bad for a beginner and soil. i really don't like soil. I started using soil and already in 2 weeks I see a difference in the growth rate
ArthurStotch
ArthurStotchcommented5y
@Sam_The_Herborist, sorry friend i'm new here. I somehow missed your comments... my DWC never worked. now I am using soil. I want to find the reason for my failures. so I'm a bad advisor. but I can say one thing I have already thrown away a bunch of plants! but I love experiments and don't use branded nutrients and solution replacements! come visit me.

hey! would you say I should keep root juice going till week 3? what would you recommend with the dosing of the nutrients? I am growing GG next and sticky beast auto now, would like to not get mine burnt like yours, also my first time, any tips?
thenewdude
thenewdudecommented5y
@Sam_The_Herborist, Thank you!! im happy to give that a go, I just saw so I already fed both the 1 ml per 0.25ml root juice and the 0.1ml per 0.25ml which I then gave each plant 125 ml of. I will let it dry up for4/5 days, with my fans and temps it dries up pretty fast how much water should I feed then every 5 days? sorry. noob😅
Sam_The_Herborist
Sam_The_Herboristcommented5y
@thenewdude, i think 0.1 ml per plant is a good idea for the fish mix, but for the feeding i think its better to wait 5 - 7 days before watering again, so this way you can see if there is begging of nute burn and it's better for your roots when you let the soil dry, the root can absorb more oxygen than in a moist soil ! but it's just my opinion, you can try and see whats are the best results
thenewdude
thenewdudecommented5y
@Sam_The_Herborist, thank you very much!!! I am giving them 0.5ml root juice per 125ml feed per plant now which is 4ml per L and thats been absolutely fine, I gave them fish mix today, day 9 and 0.25ml per 125ml ah damn, I just noticed I gave the full ml per l I wanted to do half, forgot, well, morning of day 9 one looks super, ( see new picture on my grow) and the other one is still alive so healing and catching up it seems. should I cut out fish mix today or do 0.1ml per plant? I feed them daily, seems to work better then weekly, whats your take?

harmless.try to remove mold parts with a spoon.they'll probably come back but doing no harm to your plant no worries.at some point they tend to go away.try to have air blowing to the surface . I still have some at the edges of the pot best way to feel more secure, live with it for a week,do not touch anything just watch,you'll see it'll do no harm to the plant. throwing away is a term highly used in cannabis forums,don't even think about it.healthy plant,good soil,good organic life in it.no need to take actions
Sam_The_Herborist
Sam_The_Herboristcommented5y
@HighRoller909, bro thank you so much for your response I was in panic so I sprayed a little bit of an handmade solution on the soil (40% white vinegar 60% water but just enough to not penetrate to deep in the soil and kill the roots) I also putted a little bit of cinnamon at the top Again I want to thank you a lot because I was stressed a lot for my first cultivation And sorry if I use bad English, i try to do my best but I'm not a native

just field them with mineral phosphate monopotassium and cut them off. here either light or phosphorus. it's too late to change the light. so only phosphorus. fill them up to an overdose and cut them off. flush before harvest. You must see the result before next grow. you have no other options

ArthurStotchcommentedweek 165y
250 w led. you have a lack of lighting and potassium, phosphorus. lighting can be compensated with phosphorus.

I run my lights 18-6 on from 16-10 am, my temps lights on are 27, lights off around 24. its not the dream. but with no ac, a Dyson fan and a clip fan to exhaust ou the top its not so bad. run the lights at night and keep the warmest hours off. close shutters and curtains during the day, blocking out the sunlight helps a lot too
