Had to move my grow had it in shed but temps were to high so now inside I can control temp better. She is growing great. To all you newbies patience expect mistakes learn and move forward yes seeds are expensive but relax and the reward will come. Down to one plant but germinated replacement seed.

Extreme nub here. I look at other grows and it seems my plant has sharp point on leaves. Is it the genetics or am I doing something I shouldn't? The plant is doing great growing looks good to me but I see the leaves seem pointy . The plant is auto Northern light in soil.

Hi there, so now your plant has shown her sex and she's a female: that's good! For the time being there's nothing that should be changed. She will now start going through a stretching phase, in which she will still require the same veg-nutrients as before. Once finished with the stretching, and she starts focusing on building bud-size you want to switch over to bloom-nutrients. happy growing!

Sorry for being such a newbie so here goes. My light has two switches one is veg and other bloom. Question when do I switch to the bloom and do I use both or switch to bloom and not use veg? Thanks in advance👏

i'd base it on size of plant. if the footprint is sufficient and in vege, stick to that and save electricity. the bloom mode likely adds some red. red is used at all times, so no harm adding it in vege, if oyu need the extra light or photons... base it on what is needed, and you'll save electricity and still provide as many photons as your light pumps out for the space it hits. Based on your diary, internodal spacing looks fine. So, it's getting planty. If you ever see it get stretchy, pop those extra diodes or cob leds on with bloom switch.

First, you'll some some fuzzy sites - bunch of stigmas easily visible. Over next 2-3 weeks itll expand along stems and fill in more. You may see some crystilization (trichomes) and even some minor plumping of the a few bracts beneath each stigma. Once that expansion nears end, shortly after the remnants of vegetative growth ends, it starts focusing more on thickening and trichome production ramps up. Won't see more expansion along stems, but buds themselves still have a long way to go. It'll look more like a bid at this point, but still not a bunch of ripe bracts. It just continues its march to ripeness from there... rely on a jewler's loup or something with 30-60X magnification to check trichomes for harvest window.

Thanks for your help. Should I begin to give bloom fertilizer now. Since I added some worm casings to my soil every time I add nitrogen base it causes her to suffer. I believe I gave to much to nitrogen this way. Water and cal/mag she loves.

Hi there! You should switch to bloom fertilizers when the flowering stretch is over so maybe in a week 2 or 3. The plant needs good amount of nitrogen while stretching but after that she needs it but much less.

18 hours is 10% less light.. you are now providing 10% less photons.. if you can increase light intensity by 10%, you will still be providing the exact same amount of energy per 24 hours period.. check my DLI chart in week 3.. if your light has proper spec sheet, you can determine roughly how much DLI you are providing.. if too much, the 10% loss would be a benefit, not a negative. this is all relative to context and equipment.. it's not a black and white answer, but most likely.. no, it won't matter much.. you probably won't notice, even if it is a few less photons. while moving hte light closer may have similar impact, you lose footprint area.. as well as 'side' light -- the stuff bouncing off walls... when i turn my light metere from vertical to horizontal, my intensity of light changes very little... move a l ight too close and the top-down reading is excellent, but turn to side and you see the plant is clearly not as well immersed with light. (top of leaves is all that matters. so from the side isn't so key, but close to it is) I see a bit of stretch, so if you haven't get the light intensity up a bit.. if you did, ignore me as closer might be bad.

Is my girl growing to fast? I look around at diaries and it seems my plant is starting early flowering. I am counting day seed breaks surface as start. So is my plant going to go though flowering longer or am looking at 5.5 weeks to harvest approx? that would be 11 weeks

I'd say you have about 6 weeks left. Could it finish in 11, sure... maybe, 13... but, you have a good idea. if you start from the day you see a stigmas everywhere, you likely have 7 weeks form that point and bloom started about 2 weeks before then (hormonal shift, however it happens in the autoflower variety). You can't see it when it starts. the indicators are all lagging. not that it matters, as it is a guess for every autoflower seed.

I'm not sure if I have a problem or it's normal. Some tips show damage I think it was the light to close so I moved it back over 12 inches away. I am giving the bloom every other day but half of the water i give. No nitrogen is being given,hardly any ever she doesn't like it.

It kinda is normal. But your leaves are "taco" meaning your light is either too close or too powerful or they're slightly over feed with nitrogen already....

Will the taco leaves go back to normal? I've made the adjustment to light moving it higher and switch the veg light off for a couple of hours and use only bloom. Yes I had a nute issue she doesn't seem to need nitrogen the soil must be plenty.

Hi there! The colors and damge won't recover in the leafs but the tacoing should ease a bit when the problem is solved. Tacoing is plants way to avoid too much light/heat so its only defence mechanism and she will go back!

She looks beautiful! Looks like maybe she could've used a little cal mag throughout early glower, but at this point, I'd just feed plain H2O. She has just begun senescence and with ripening she is using whatever she has left in her leaves to feed on. Essentially cannibalizing off herself to feed her reproductive organs... AKA buds! No worries, she's doing what she is supposed to be doing! Cheers!

Hello So first thing...take your plant out and into some regular light, sunlight/ lamp light something white/yellow. Try using the flash and zoom as much as you can. Even a somewhat blurry photo should still give us some indication of color changes if there are Amber looking Tri chromes. Id say you still have at least another week + to go because your pistils are still mostly white from the photo. When they're about 80% orange and shriveling up then you're pretty close. Try some more photos and a little more time and then we should have a better idea of time. But you're definitely getting towards the end...so that's good. 👍

Привет, бро! 👋😇 Бро, по-настоящему у тебя цветение началось на 5 неделе роста (а не на 4, как у тебя в дневнике), я уже увидел. Твой производитель говорит о необходимом 8 недельном периоде цветения! Пестилы могут созревать за 1 неделю! Когда снимаешь урожай, в цветах ещё могут быть белые пестилы! Постоянное наращивание и цветение - это естественно для растения, когда оно находится в идеальных условиях! Так что всё хорошо! 😇👌 Ты уже в 9 неделе цветения (13 неделе роста), поэтому можешь уже делать flush и готовить острые ножницы! 😇👌 Она выглядит отлично!

Nice grow, bud! Let me ask you about the twisted seedling. I didn't see it in the actual diary, but i saw it on some post of yours in questions or something. Did you do anything to fix it, or did it just grow out of it? Any idea if it was caused by something, or just genetics maybe? Cheers

@@GratefulGrower,sorry this is a different seed (plant) and no I didn't do anything. I had a couple real cold days bought a heater and fix temp problems. I had two plants going but this one twisted and all I did was water twice I gave nutes she didn't like it so never again. She does have a habit of needing a drink of cal/mag probably 4 times . I do think it was genetics because this plant is smaller then other but because of twist it scrogged itself 5 decent colas.
