June 14th - This is my first ever grow.
*5 Seeds + 1 Extra ordered from Weed Seed Express.
*Germinated them in a glass of PH6 water. They germinated in 24 hours then were placed into coco coir pellets.
*2 days later they were placed into 8L pots with soil I grabbed from a local marijuana shop outside of Toronto.
*Its been one week since they’ve been outside. 4 seem to look good, two of them are rather small (one of which appears to be missing a cotyledon leaf)
Plant 2 appears to be tilting. Worried it might fall over. I’ve been surrounding the base of the plant with soil to help support it.
Plant 5 is moving very slowly.
Plant 6 appears to have started moving along. Only sprouted with 1 leaf but has since surpassed plant 6.
Things are looking good this week. Started using some nutrients. Smaller plants are catching up but plant 5 is looking a little bit odd. Wondering if anyone’s ever seen anything like this before?
Coming along nicely. Starting to preflower. Plants 5 & 6 are starting to recover and catch up.
Early in the week I doubled the nutrients to 2ml/L and the next day noticed some of the leafs had golden yellow splotches on them. Next feeding I just flushed them with regular water. The following feeding I went back to using 2ml/L of nutrients and haven’t had any problems since.
More flowers coming in over the last few days. Not sure if this is still considered veg or flower period though as it’s a 12 week auto-flower strain.
Got some nutrient burn on a couple plants so I did less watering with nutrients this week.
Plant 3 had a minor mishap and I accidentally broke off a small branch. Hoping it doesn’t stunt it.
Also wondering if that bar I have keeping the plant straight is preventing the plant from growing more branches? My other plants are starting to bush up but this one is still pretty thin looking.
Plant 3 seems to have slowed down compared to some of the other plants. I wonder if I hurt some of the roots with that stick I put in to keep the plant growing straight?
Plant 6 had some decent nutrient burn from last week. I took a few of the leaves off and took it easy on the nutes, but ever since then it’s had a difficult time taking in water. All my other plants drink like crazy.. this one always has a good amount of water left when the others are bone dry.
Anyone know what’s causing these issues? - Thanks in advance!
Over the past week I’ve noticed Plant 6 seems to have been stunted in its growth. It also doesn’t seem to be taking up water. All my other plants dry out fairly quickly. This one remains wet for days and days and doesn’t seem to dry out.
Can I fix this? Will it kill the plant?
мне кажется что у него слишком сильно утрамбована почва в горшке, возможно проблема именно с дренажем, мало отверстий в горшке, где-то образовывается "болото". Выглядит она не плохо, небольшое пожелтение листвы в периоде цветения говорит о её естественном развитии и небольшом дефиците удобрений, но этот дефицит естественный, поэтому не стоит повышать дозы или удалять желтеющую листву! 😇👆
проверь дренаж, бро!
Удачи! 😇✊
Plants seemed to have stopped growing upwards. Getting more bushy and putting on buds now.
Plants 3 and 6 may be experiencing root rot.. either that or they’re just waterlogged. They’re barely drinking. The past week they haven’t dried out at all. My other plants dry out every day at this point. Not sure what’s going on. Someone suggested I try drilling more holes at the bottom which I did yesterday. Hoping that helps. Worried I might have to transplant the two though.. especially plant 6.. it’s starting to look rather rough.
If anyone’s got any tips I’d love to hear them! Thanks!
Going good this week. Really packing on the buds now.
Added some more nutrients that I now have kicking around for a hydro grow. Plant 6 was transplanted last week as I thought it may have been having some issues. I pulled off all the yellow leafs and it seems to be alright. Just glad it’s still kicking.
Question:
Should I be pulling leaves off my other plants? There’s a few covering up lower bud sites but I’m unsure how it’ll effect my auto flowers.
Question:
Wondering when to harvest these bad boys. Trichomes don’t appear amber yet. Website for the seeds say 70-90 days seed to harvest. I’m wondering if I can push it to 90 days (13 weeks(ish)) even if they appear ready at 70. Will that effect my harvest?
Should I be pulling fan leaves off my plants? There’s a few covering up lower bud sites but I’m unsure how pruning will effect my auto flowers.
(See diary week 8 for more photos)
Thanks!
Only pull leaves if they are yellow or shriveled brown.
The plant stores a lot of food/ energy in the fan leaves that are going to help those buds grow.
Autoflowers do not tolerate a whole lot of stress. Defoliate as necessary when it comes to autos. Or do it in sessions so it don’t stress her.
If you believe more light helps the bud and that the fan leaf is just covering it then pull a couple wait a couple days pull a couple etc.
I do not recommend trimming because the lack of light due to a leaf.
That leaf is helping you more than you know.

Yes, you can let them go longer, just keep giving them the love and care and you’ll be fine! Your plants still have a lot of stored up energy they have yet to use going off of the picture and your info.
Beautiful grow you have though🤙🏽
Happy cultivating
Pretty much the same as last week. Plant 6 doesn’t seem to be doing much. Not much thc or bud production going on. Thinking I perhaps pulled off a few too many leaves a couple weeks back. (Although it was growing really slowly before that too)
Everything else seems to be going good. Looking forward to harvest. Going to try and push them to Week 13 or 14
Home stretch now. Was away for a few days and came back to quite a few yellow leaves. Pinched em off and fed em. 1 more week of nutrients after this and then I’ll start my flush
Nothing new this week. Last week of feeding with nutrients. I’ll begin flushing tomorrow and carry that on for another 2 weeks. A couple of the plants are looking rather “leafy” and not as dense as some of the others. Not sure why that is. Hoping they bulk up a little bit in the next couple weeks.
Overall not bad though!
Began flushing this week. A couple of the plants are looking a little burned... Probably over nuted them. Going to harvest them any day now. Looking forward to that.
