Day 72. There have been lots and lots of rains in these past days, so the humidity everywhere is high. I decided to cut some of the leaves (as few as possible) that were to close to eachother. I cut only about 10 leaves, but they were all covering budsites and completely touching and folding within eachother. After that I separated the branches a little bit from eachother with a very subtle LST. That fixed the humidity from 70% to 55%โœ“ Day 73. More intense storms, almost 90% humidity outside, and 70% at the grow tent (I guess because of good airflow and the defoliation I did). I checked the weather and this is supposed to be a very humid week. So I will leave a big fan blowing gently but constantly on it. I guess I prefer to risk some wind stress than to have to deal with pests and diseases... I will also only water 1 Lt of water today, to dry it a little bit. If I see that the fan is not enough to lower the humidity I might cut a few more leaves. I prefer not to cut leaves, cause as a noob they are precious to me. If I screw my nutrients (which will eventually happen to every noob), the leaves will save me, by sacrificing themselves and donating the nutrients they can to my flowers, instead of my flowers directly being affected by my lack of feeding experience. //On adjusting nutrients// Well, on the blueberry cannabis grow that I did before this AH grow I ended up dailing the nutrients to about 1 to 2 mS/cm, but the plant drank less water (was way shorter than this stretchy girl) each day. So for this grow, now that I am watering about 3lts/day, I would decrease my nutrients back to 0.8mS/cm until the plant leaves ask for more, or if the EC on the runoff never increases past 1.4mS/cm. In a nutshell, I believe that although giving more nutrients to your plant would likely help her develop faster and fatter, it is very easy to give too many nutrients. So my advice for other noobs like me is to just give them a little bit at the time, and check EC on runoff for accumulating salts. EC on the runoff is tricky, as some people already kindly informed in the question I asked. However, it seems that it can at least serve as an indication of change, say you have a runoff of about 1 mS/cm for 4 weeks, and next week you read 5.0mS/cm after upping the nutrients, well that could indicate that you are nearing the limit of what plants can uptake on the roots, and the rest is staying as salts in the soil, or that you need to add more water in between your feeds. You name it, is just a "flag", or indication of change, by itself it wont tell you anything, but by observing it during your whole growth cycle, and specially after important changes in feeding/watering it might give you ideas of what is going on in the root zone. TLDR: Noob = feed lightly, its better than burning your plant, and easier to fix (just feed less lightly, as opposed to fixing an overfed plant). Pro= well, you are probably a pro because you have experience and have already payed enough attention to your feeding/watering and their effects on your particular setup, you keep on experimenting and answering questions of noobs like me please!

I've been giving 6.5 pH water once and the next time I add nutrients until I get an EC of 1mS/cm. This was ok before (runoff didn't show many nutrients on soil). Now I water 2.5L/day but the plant leaves nutrients in soil (runoff EC increases rapidly!) It's in week 4 of flower.

keep in mind that PPM/EC meter can lose their calibration, I run promix and monitor my PPM/EC and if its much higher than I put in I lessen the amount in the feed, but this is my first time so take it for what it is. I just wanted to mention the calibration thing, because i have 3 meters, only one is correct you can get calibration fluid online, fairly cheap i paid $10 for a small bottle of 1000PPM, my one meter tested within 1 pt, so i know its good, the other read 600 and the other read 1500. Also the error doesn't seem linear and the gap widens significantly the higher the PPM, for example the Good meter that reads 1000 the other read 1500 if the good one read 1400, the bad one could be as high as 4000ppm I couldn't make sense of it. From the thumbnail above this text box, it looks like u might have one of the cheap meters i have i'd buy some calibration fluid just to have some peace of mind gl. Barring that you can strictly follow the guidelines for your feed, and adjust based on need and symptoms or you can use your meter as a rough estimate, and learn "the new scale its given you" GL you'll get through this

Hello fellow growers, I am a noob and I feel I am close to my harvest week, could you have a look at the trichomes in the pic and there is a video in my diary week 7. It's an Amnesia Haze, vegged for 6 weeks and it's on 8th week of flowering. What do you think? close to harvest?

Here I'll just assume that you've smoked weed before, or you probably wouldn't have started growing yourself. Well, it's entirely up to you when to harvest, depending on what kind of high your prefer. For instance, You'll get an energetic high with more "milky" trichomes, while you'll get a stoned high with more amber. Tho, it's also a little depending on the plant how much amber is needed for the stoned high. - Harvesting with a lot of clear trichomes, should be avoided tho, since they don't really contain any THC. so you'll just have wasted your time caring for the plant, if your intent is getting high off of it.. Personally, I prefer a stoned high, so I wait longer than most people before harvest.

Nice training my friend will surly be ready for the flip soon :) Good cloning too is that a dwc bucket or just water ?

@TheUk420Show, Thanks bro, I had to develop this very special way of cloning because of the first pheno I got, it was a blueberry cannabis which was very very hard to clone. I tried rockwool, dwc, cup of water, aloe Vera, honey, rooting hormone. So in the end only this combination of techniques was able to reliably clone every cutting. So I think that having such a picky plant allowed me to learn a lot, I wouldn't had tried any other method of the cup of water worked. So, if you have the time/money to do it, just try it, you might learn many useful and fun things on the road, and at worst you gained experience and know why it doesn't work for you. When it comes to the clones, I agree with you, they take more time to grow big and thick compared to a seed (in my limited experience). But they are a guaranteed exact copy of the mother. Let's say you make medicine with your cannabis, you would want every single pill from every single harvest to have the same effect on you.

@Symbiosis_420, That sounds like a very fool proof system for cloning :) I've only ever my current run with clones and well I'm not sure I'll run them again. Yes its cheaper but they dont grow like plants from seed they don't stretch much and the branches end up quite skinny in my experience they cannot support the weight of the buds maybe I'm missing a trick when it comes to vegging but my feed solution does contain silicon so they should not be like that take a look at mine and see what you think :) Maybe I didnt veg them long enough ? My routine for taking cuttings can see them root in around 4-5 days. though I do not use the dwc buckets to clone I just use rock wool i simply cut the stem and dip it in some hormone and wack it iin the rock wool use a humidifier to push the humidity up to 90 or so percent for two days and that usually does the trick I've taken cuttings from a cutting before and still worked out fine as it was getting too large lol. Recently took cuttings for a friend who was struggling done 8 for him and all 8 have rooted so happy days :) I have thought about getting an eextra bucket for clones but If its not broke dont fix it lol. defo upload some piics we all love to see diy projects and get ideas from other peoples styles of growing its what this site is all about ::) stay safe man and good luck for the rest of the grow the best part is yet to come :)

@TheUk420Show, Thanks a lot! It's a DIY dwc bucket I use for clonning. Basically a 2lt plastic ice-cream bucket (painted black to avoid algae growth) filled with water. I also cut some holes in the lid for the cuttings and added a 3 liter/min aquarium airpump). I also have a clonning ritual that works for me. First I place my cuttings in rooting hormone and leave them in small shot glasses in lowlight. It's only after I would see roots start to pop out, that get them into the dwc ice-cream bucket. It works everyrime! I've run some experiments (although, only with two strains) and it seems to me that the higher concentration of IBA makes them start to root faster in the cup than in the dwc (where the rooting hormone gets diluted in the solution); but once the roots are out, they grow like crazy in the oxigen rich water of the dwc. That's why I do this combination. I might add some pics about it later.

Runoff in soil is kind of misleading. It does not make much sense to meassure it. Actually I don't water to runoff with soil. During flowering stage I feed every time I water with an EC range of 1.6 to 1.9; new fresh all-mix kind of soil can have a runoff over 10.000 PPM (20 EC), after weeks of pure watering, when the runoff reaches 2500 PPM (5 EC), I start getting deficiencies.

@@Athos, thanks for your answer. I didn't know that about the soil ppm. I guess I won't worry too much about it if I have no signs of nute burn and I ma not feeding too high of an EC. This is only my second grow, and on the first one I almost killed a blueberry cannabis by feeding it too many nutrients causing lockouts, so I guess I was too afraid something like that would happen, specially on this long flowering strain.
