First grow and got off to a bit of a slow start. Didn't get grow tent and proper lighting until Week 2, so she has started a bit thin. Starting nutrients this week and hoping to get her caught up soon.
She's really starting to spread her wings now! Tiny bit of nutrient burn (I think) on bottom leaves, but otherwise she looks healthy. Planning to start some LST later in the week.
Did a bit of LST this week and she's starting to grow a bunch of new shoots! All-in-all looking good, but as this is my first grow, I'm open to any comments or suggestions.
Couple questions:
Should I be topping off? I've read varying thoughts on this. If so, when is the best time to do this and best technique?
I got a bit of a late start getting her into a proper grow environment, but when would I start flowering? I think I'm still at least 3-4 weeks away, but would like other opinions.
I transplanted into a 3-gal pot a couple weeks back and noticed she holds on to water a lot. Last week she only took about 3L total. Is this normal, or should I be watering more despite the moisture level in the soil?
She's starting to fill and get bushy now! I've been doing a lot of LST and readjusting to get the bottom nodes as much light as possible. I'm hoping this new growth will fill out this week and switch over to flowering next week. She's green, lush and healthy looking!
It's a girl! Started flowering a little earlier than I wanted, due to the fact that we may be moving and I need to get this grow complete. Hopefully it won't affect yields too much.
Switched over to 12/12 and she has quickly responded with some stretch over the past week.
Full bloom in effect! She's got 10-12 strong flowers at the moment and continues to be green and lush. I picked a lucky seed for this first grow - she's doing quite well! I'm very pleased with the progress.
I'm in 3rd week of flowering and 10th week overall. My humidity had been steady around 50-60% during veg, but noticed the first weeks of flowering humidity has DROPPED, usually about 40% - sometimes as low as 35%. Is this normal? I have read humidity normally RISES during flower.
No, it's not normal, but hardly harmful, if anything it's good to have low humidity in flower, less chance of mildew or budrot.
Plant transpires almost 100% the water they drink, that means that as they explode with growth during the pre-flower stretch and they drink more and more water, they will release it into the environment making RH rise.
That been said, humidity which is actually relative humidity changes a lot with temperature, 60% humidity at a certain temperature can drop drastically if the temperatures increases just a little. Perhaps your weather has changed and the air is drier than a few days / weeks ago?
Still plugging away like a dream. She's in full flower now and healthy as can be. She's really stretching - nearly touching all four walls of my grow room!
She continues to plug away nicely! Strong pistols throughout and nice crystals forming on leaves. Starting to get a nice aroma as well :) These final weeks will be the toughest to wait!
I've been a bit tardy on updates of late, but there hasn't been a ton of activity. She's plugging along nicely but we're still several weeks away. Photos aren't the best, but she is still lush and green - and starting to put off a lovely aroma :)
Haven't been doing many updates, only because there hasn't been much! She's very steady - and slooowly - coming into full bloom. I thought we were close to harvest a few weeks ago, but she still has mostly clear tricomes. The main stem is getting cloudy, so I'm hoping just another week or two to go!
I started a flush a couple weeks back, because I thought it was close to harvest. Should I restart nutrients?
I started a flush about 2-3 weeks back, because I thought it was close to harvest. Turns out she's taking longer than I anticipated. Should I restart nutrients, or keep it clean until harvest?
Hi mate,
I've done similar thing before, but theres no harm done in using water through to the finish. No point wasting nutrients now as she is very close and not far off. I'd rather a clean product than a nutrient filled one. At least now when she is ready by trichomes or which ever way you prefer to asses her, she will be ready without having to re flush. You're on track and don't worry. A big flush is better than no flush, plus some growers go from start to finish without any nutrients and still get a nice clean product. Hope this helps.
