Into week 6 now, flowering is on the way for #1 & #2, however #3 is still very short and bushy so probably gonna take a week longer than the other 2 ๐ค
Very tight for space in there, think a big tent in the spare room will be a better shout โ
Giving them 500ml of water every day around midnight after the weight has gone from the pots, #3 isn't drinking much so normally give it 250ml as a top up then split the rest into the other 2. I know you're supposed to water til run off and only when it's dried up a fair amount but it's my first go and I haven't got the space to be trying to water til run off then empty their trays what a fuck about..
We'll see in a few weeks anyway if this has any consequences ๐ฌ
Think the smallest one is starting to flower now so shouldn't be too much behind the other 2. Think they're getting a bit stretched now but if I put the light any closer the tips go white at the top ๐ช learning many lessons along the way at least.

Give her another day or two and I am sure she will pop up. Otherwise just gently take off the shell and she will be golden.

Do my plants look small for the end of week 2? Have messed around with the lights far too much, switching from MH to HPS then finally to LED because of heat problems.

Try raising light to at least 20-24".. let them grow into it, or reduce if it stretches.. trial and error for that happy zone, but for younger ones they need slightly less than older plants.
you're getting near the point where it should be full bore, though. So, just adjust and keep eye on internodal spacing. Too much light may not show major issues but can slow growth while imperceivable to our eyes that something negative is occurring.
Seems fine, though.
MrGreen92started grow question 4 years ago
All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light.
I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done?
Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily?
Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing

Hi. So day 21 of flower usually is a cut off zone, if you are before it, its perfect time !
But think twice, are your plants healthy, maybe couple leaves off and tucking , plus small clearing of bottom would serve you better ?
If you still positive, that too many buds don't get light or you expect high humidity levels later in flower - do it !
There is plenty articles how , when and what.
You can check my 8 sisters diary , week 3 and 6 of flower.
Do it before watering, always leave fully formed set of leaves, take off all matured lower.
Good luck !

Last night I used some old but clean looking wire to bring branches in to the main stems.
This morning there's now little orange rusty spots everywhere. Is a soil grow, 6.3 pH used and same run off with Cal Mag every other feed. Taken the wire of at 6am in anger, was it that? ๐ก

If you're sure it's not a calmag deficiency, I would say that you probably have critters like thrips. If you're using a booster, P and K toxicity is also probable. Wish I could narrow it down more for you.
MrGreen92started grow question 4 years ago
Before I go to over the top with the CalMag in a stupid attempt to nurse my plants back to health I just want to know for certain what it is.
The leaves are clawing, bronze spots everywhere but the smallest of the 3 doesn't seem to be suffering as much.. what is it?!

The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
Could very well be calmag issues. Adding some more won't hurt. It really looks like N toxicity to me though. Dark green leaves that started to polka dot along with the clawing seems clear to me. Wind burn is another possibility if you have a fan directly on them.
Add calmag, cute down any N-heavy nutes, and pull off any direct air currents. You got this, the fun is just starting!
MrGreen92started grow question 4 years ago
Thank you 8thChevron for your help!
Run off readings:
pH 6.5 at 26.5c
Ppm 245x10
EC 689x10
The fan was directly on them so have put that down to the floor now.
Have also just flushed through with a half nute mix that was 6.3ph, 134ec & 549ppm
Is there anything else I should do

dan_janswered grow question 4 years ago
for nitrogen tox i would add some horticultural MKP (0-52-34) at say 50-150ppms or just potassium sulphate (0-0-53 s17) at half the dose of MKP , start at 50ppm increments into your diluted res.
for cal def if soil i'd add some gypsum on top for a soil drench or if hydro add some cal/mag or horticultural calcium nitrate ( 15-0-0 Ca19 ) with magnesium sulphate at half the dose of calcium nitrate, just remember to add the MKP at the same or the pot sulphate at half in ppm as calcium nitrate( or calmag) to bump up the p in th p:n ratio
MrGreen92started grow question 4 years ago
Had a light case of what was believed to be calcium deficiency. Ph, EC and ppm all seemed normal for run off and I've halved my nutes but kept a higher dose of CalMag going. Didn't water them last night now it looks even worse, what should I do and will the end product be ruined?

Hey Growmie,
This is definitely a calcium deficiency, that hasn't been corrected. It's seems your on the right track but you might need to flush the plant go back to your regular feeding regiment along with going up on the Cal-Mag should fix the issue. Remember damaged leaves more than likely wont recover. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
MrGreen92started grow question 4 years ago
2 of my plants look like they've stopped growing now and the calcium deficiency looks worse and worse.. should I just flush then with water for a couple of week and be done with them?
The late bloomer looks like it's got ages still, definitely not what I'd hoped for being autos

No need to flush, they fatten up the most in the last week unless you wash away the nutes, but its up to you.
They look good, when they fatten up more will look even better.
Use a soft measuring tape and check measurement now then do so again next week.
Or take 1 picture at one distance, then don't move the plant and do the same at the exact same distance next week, and watch for growth. Its easier to notice with 1 week apart photos from the exact same location and aiming at the plant from the same angle.
MrGreen92started grow question 4 years ago
Was just feeding them and noticed hundreds of tiny seed looking things float to the top of each plant, watched the soil for a while and they was moving ๐ช
They look like fungus knats maybe but I don't know for sure will upload a video I got of one.
How do I get rid of them?

DrJynx86answered grow question 4 years ago
Cover your soil with diatomaceous earth, non toxic, obliterates tiny bugs, and also has lots of micronutrients for when you water it down (silice, CalMag, K, Iron), amazing stuff.
Keep on the great care!
Happy smokes!

The issue with calcium deficiency is that the symptoms start appearing several weeks after the deficiency begins; meaning the symptoms will not go away right away after correcting the issue. No, the buds quality will not be affected

did you correct your pH while feeding them with nutrients?
or did you overfeed them?

@@GreyArea51,
Hi again, sorry I thought this was related to my current grow!
With the cash crop auto I did over feed them a litre every day for a few weeks til I realised my mistake, they also had some stress with me trying different lights throughout the first few weeks so sure that didn't help!
And finally I used standard soil from a store thinking it'd be alright but turned out to be teeming with thrips ๐
Think if I'd of got decent soil and done a bit of lst along with stable conditions it would've been ok ๐ค
Good luck with your grows anyway mate, hope I've helped with avoiding some rookie errors like I did! โ๏ธ

@MrGreen92,
i understand now. I just saw that you had a high PPM and that could also cause the problems, not the nutrients itself.
Check also Organics Nutrients for high quality organic fertilizer. Would recommend if you wanna switch.
Good luck, happy growing!

@@GreyArea51, I began on a corrected pH of 6.2 but have recently changed to 6.5 as I read that was better for soil have been doing this since starting with dechlorinated water and then when I started adding nutrients.
Have tried my best not to over water them, giving them 1 litre every other day seemed to be about right as the pots were light and dry by then ๐ค
The only thing I would say is a problem is the nutrients I'm using have got a bad rep compared to others like advanced nutrients so I may try switching over..
The seeds were about 15 months old as well so I'm just glad they sprouted without having to buy more ๐
