I've started the growdiary after the pre-flowering/stretch phase, they stopped growing at 65cm both of them. I had some luck I guess since they are not close genetically.
I have a little grow space and I had some struggle to control humidity through this phase, I've bought an dehumidifier that helped me. The temperature is another problem since my house gets really hot on warm days.
Since this is my first grow, I decided to not apply any stress techniques and only learn how the plant grow naturally. Of course during the previous stages I've noticed where I could apply LST but I didn't want at all.
I'm using BioBizz nutes just because the gifts I've received from grow shop, I can't do a review on them since I don't have anything to compare but so far all seems fine. Just a minor nitrogen deficiency that I handle in no time but it was my fault.
The lights were purely a leap of faith, I had read great reviews about this LEDs from a startup Spanish company and I took the risk since they were cheaper comparing to other bigger companies. I have a 250W hps lamp, that I can't use at all due to the heat.
The temperature increased a little bit, I'm pondering about change the tent to another fresher place in house.
Some pistils on WDH started to ripening, I would guess is a strain thing since there are many new ones growing.
I'm getting worried about the temperature that is going above 30 Celsius sometimes. I have a great airflow inside the tent, I hope is enough to get me out of problems. The smell is getting stronger every day so it becomes hard to let the tent open. I needed to give them more water than last week and had to turn off the dehumidifier at this point because humidity is always near 40%.
This week was very hot and it was above 30°C sometimes, I had to let the tent open since it was almost 28° inside the house. WDH started to have some leaves losing its green and with some it looks like brownish spots on some leaves. I'm doing the nutes by the vendor schedule with 1/3 less of recommended. I'm checking the trichomes on WDH every day and most are clear yet.
Can someone help me with the brown spots on the leaves? Could they be caused by the heat stress from last days? It could be calcium deficiency but I use tap water that has a good quantity, at least in the public analysis. Thanks
And apart from this, that I think it was my fault, biobizz nutrients and soil didn't give me any troubles. But I'm pretty sure that their leaf coat degrades pistils. It happened before with WDH after I apply most of pistils on the top of the buds turned orange and again with NL. I freaked out because it was too hot and I applied it again and again all pistils in the top of the buds turn orange. So I think I made a point.
I think what the problem was. Murphy never gets wrong. Too much confidence on tap water pH, that never changed for 2 months (pH 8) and I didn't measure these weekend waterings, never happened before. So I found out today, the pH is less 1.5 than on Friday. So I could have gave them too acidic water on Saturday and/or Sunday since she was fine on Friday. It probably locked some nutrient intake. Tap water is now at 6.5 so most probably I wouldn't need to change anything. I've measured the washoff water as well and it was at 6/6.5, after watering today with 6.5. I'll give a day or two and see what happens and water with a pH near 7 next time to balance a little bit more. I think she needs about two weeks, maybe less to be ready. She has already some milky trichomes but way too many clear yet.
I always measure the pH on water, I try always to be between 6.0 and 6.5. But honestly I think I messed up one time this week. And I will measure the runoff next time. About chlorine I will do as you say. Thanks for the tips.
