This is my first photoperiod grow and if it goes as well as my auto grows I'll be happy 😁 Growing 2 plants with 200w COB LED. I started seeds using the paper towel method and popped them into 1 litre airpots after the tap root emerged. I plan to let them root out the 1 litre airpot then pot up once or twice I am still undecided on this.

So both plants are doing very well I transplanted from 1l to 5l airpots around day 17 and the root ball was very compact but unfortunately I didn't take pictures as I was pressed for time that evening I will take pictures when I transplant onto final 15l airpot in the next couple weeks. I added some biotabs mycotrex before transplant and neither plant skipped a beat they didn't even notice. Day 20 I topped plants at 5th node and the plants didn't show any sign of stress.

Both plants growing nicely lovely lush green growth will have better pictures in a couple weeks when I get go pro back my phone camera is terrible. Both planra have pretty much rooted out the 5l pot so I'm going to transplant to 15l final pot in a couple days and will update then.

Hi guys so transplanted into final 15l pot on day 25 but didn't get to take pics of the process as was a little too busy. It was a tricky task but got it done and I was really surprised how fast the plants exploded into growth in the days following. Both plants are very vigourous and I'm really impressed with the genetics. I will for sure document the flowering stage properly I think they are going to be nice size plants judging on growth so far. The canopy's are nice and flattened out I was going to top a second time but I don't think I will bother as it's 5 weeks veg and only about 15-20cm tall so should be fine height wise for my tent just keep doing lst and let them put all their energy into growing not recovering.

So I got my iPad out and have better pictures now. I have removed about 10 leaves from around the top of both plants to allow more light to penetrate canopy. I didn’t want to go crazy with removing leaves as it’s my first photo grow and just want to let plants do their thing and not interfere too much. The plants are very different phenos with one having much larger leaves and growing taller than the other which has much smaller leaves and more stout with more flower sites. DAY 37 gave first feed 1 Litre each plant 1ml per l Biogrow 2ml per l Bioheaven Up to now I have just added Alg-a-mic (seaweed) when transplanting DAY 38 Done last bit of lst before Flipping to flower in 4 days

Just flipped to 12/12 yesterday plants are looking nice and healthy and have managed to flatten out the canopy fairly well on both plants.

So I am 1 week after switching to 12/12 and plants are growing at a rapid rate. Both look very healthy apart from a few fan leaves at the top of larger plant which is showing yellowing and around the new growth tips also showing some yellowing I’m unsure what this is. Day 54 the flower show will be starting soon. I am keeping my environment within the green god zone which has my current daytime temps 77-79f with 70% rh seems to be doing the trick.

Hi guys just wondering if anyone can tell me why there is yellowing at the top of my larger plant. It seems to be affecting a couple of larger fans and some of the new growth. This plant is growing at blistering speed could this be causing a def maybe?

new growth is usually a bit lighter when it first comes out.. however especially when she's growing a lot, don't forget to ensure to provide the nitrogen and other nutrient demands during that time.. also it seems you have just shifted from grow nutrients to bloom... this should normally be done after the initial stretching phase at the beginning of the blooming phase. bloom nutrients are low in nitrogen, while the plant still needs it for growth. the shift over to bloom-nutrients should be done, when the plant stops growing in length and starts focusing on building the buds, which is when she needs more P and K and usually around the end of the 2nd week of bloom (depending on the strain).. while i don't think you have an actual nitrogen deficiency, i think the lower levels just make her brighter.. Nitrogen plays a big part in the "green-ness" of the leaves (heavy doses/too much would make them dark green)

Plant has been absolutely no trouble to grow so far. I have adopted the two feed one water schedule in order to use up old nutes in the soil and avoid build up of nutrients. From now on I will not be watering until 10-20% run off as it causes a huge rise in humidity during lights out it goes to between 70-80% and there is moisture on the leaves. I promise that close up pictures will be coming soon getting new phone with good 📷 soon 😃

Hi guys based off the images of last day of week 6 flowering do you think these look like plants that have 2 or 3 weeks to harvest?

Hello. Yes they look like plants that could be harvested in 2 or 3 weeks. Your in the bulking and ripening stage of flowering. So I suggest you grow for 2 more weeks and then flush for a week and your good to go for harvest. Your plants are looking good and the crystal production will really take off now. Good luck. Chuck.

just use plain water from now until harvest, you will have a smoother smoke and there is no need to feed anymore, the water will help get rid of the nutrients that are stored in the plant. looks ood by the way. you will have a nice harvest

Finish line is near plants yellowing nicely using up nutes I think i possibly underfed these plants but I done mind they looked pretty the whole way through. Just gave both plants their last feeds 4ml bloom and 4ml biobud per litre at start of week 8 I think they'll be ready to chop by 60-63 days flowering can't wait 😀 Started to give plain water to larger plant from today day 52 of flower im thinking I will chop for sure before 9 weeks

Hey guys just wondering is this a trait of the strain i'm growing or possibly environmental factors that causes this type of leaf colour late in flower? Just curious because maybe I stopped feeding nutes too early and I could have got more out of my plant if feed was kept up.

Hey there ! Congrats growmie ! This is the process of senescence the natural wilting of the plant at the end of the flowering cycle . You can tell because there are no other stress symptoms and grow conditions remain optimal . This is good news it means there was plenty of nutrients all throughout and you’re heading into harvest territory. Keep checking trichines with a magnification of 40x or more sometimes it can take weeks from senescence until harvest sometimes. Hope this helps 🔥🚀
