Herrrrro gang! Welcome to another week of Daank's grow!
8/2: Brought back the Great White. I was reading that it works well in conjunction with other root excelurators, like Rapid Start. I got 2 more temp/humidity sensors for the tent. It allows me to keep track of 100% of what is really going on, I find it to take away worry (b/c temps are very important!). Today was a "eureka!" moment in terms of understanding run-off pH and it's value to telling the grower how healthy the plant is and what nutes may, or may not, be needed. I also got some new LED glasses so I don't burn my fucking corneas when tending to the garden - they are phenomenal and I suggest them if you grow with an LED. Check the videos and photos. Pistils are growing rapidly and baby budlets are starting to form. I'm actually getting a nice subtle purple color - it's very neat.
Today's run-off pH was 6.3, and I gave it 6.3 for water - so that's a good sign (I bounce the pH all around from 5.5-6.3). I'll keep track of this moving forward in the diary. Minor defoliation.
***Pro-Tip: If you're wondering what the run-off should be... around +.5/-.5 of what you put in is good. But this also might not mean anything... so many different opinions on the web.

Day 38 - 8/4: Lil'budlet's are poppin' up all over. By the end of this week I assume we'll be in full swing.
Day 39: I have ordered new nutes, Advanced Nutrients. The reviews, photos, and research all point to using this for the best results. I found them to be a bit expensive, but if I can always get perfect pH values without much of a hassle... I'm down. They will be here by end of the week and I'll transition that over this weekend. I can't wait.
Day 40: 8/6 - Advanced Nutrient nutes arrive today. Watering will be a pleasure. The plants look great. The buds are real. Small smell. Trimmed last night quite a bit for bud production. They love George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". It perks 'em up.

I'm OCD #af and worry about EVERYTHING.
Is there anything we can be doing better? Light distance, germination tactics, water amounts with coco? Did we use too big of a cloth pot (I've been told 7-gallon is good, and I feel that what we have in a 10-gallon pot).

For an autoflower you could probably get away with a 3 gallon pot.. they don't get much bigger than 3 feet.. 10 gallon would be great for an autoflower.. Everything else seems spot on friend! Happy growing! 👊

What is the best way to control night-time humidity? I have my lights-on conditions pretty fuckin' dialed in, but my lights-off time humidity is around 67-68%. My temps are great at lights-off, around 71-73F. I can put a big dehumidifier in, but I don't want to yet. Any thoughts?

For the early stages it's not that bad, if you don't want to put a dehumidifier yet try to increase ventilation.
If you'r tent has mesh air vents, open them up and get the fan going, being careful not to hit the plant with a lot of direct air.
That normally does the job for me to take the humidity down 5-8%
Goodluck!
Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Just do some LST and let them go my friend! Tuck leaves when you can to open bud sights but I wouldn’t cut any unless they are dead! Hope this helps & happy growing friend!✌️🏼🌱

What are these little spots? I only have them localized on this one leaf (and one plant out of three), and haven't seen anymore. I'm more curious than anything. Tips to fix? Don't worry?

Do you have any idea what the light measurement is “ppfd” at the level you have your lights? Looks like your leaves are curling up a bit so I’m. Wondering if this is heat and light related

I have 3 plants. 2 of them are 1 week behind the main plant. Can I extend my main plant's vegetation period an extra week in order to allow the others to catch up? Is this even an issue? I worry about the flip and the other 2 being behind.

Hello. Yes you can. Cannabis is a very forgiving plant and everything will go alright. Do what is best for your situation. Everything will grow at the same rate so the main plant will be bigger. Good Luck. Chuck.

Is everything looking ok here for the middle of week 4? First time grow and I'm just looking to see what you veterans think so far. And, from your experience, how far off do you think I am from flowering stage and flipping to 12/12?

Hey
You're looking good, nice size for 4 weeks old. Yes definitely got some nice stipule photos there. I bet you might see some preflowers pop in here in the next week. I usually see my autoflowers start flowering around weeks 5-6. Unless they've been the rare plant that has a long life cycle.
Professor_Daankstarted grow question 4 years ago
Random question... When do you start day 1? Is it the day the seed germinates? The day the seed pops above ground? The day the girls have enough leaves for nutes and a regular environment? Just broadening my knowledge. Thanks, guys!

First week starts when the cotyledon Leaves start to show up. From there start counting weeks.

Is this pre flower? I'm just confused b/c 2 of my 3 plants are showing pistils, but not this guy - but this guy looks like he is going into pre flower... whatcha guys think? Is it ok to not have pistils yet, with pre flower?

The damn pistils (preflowers) were hiding on the OTHER side of the stem. Very hard for me to see without having to fucking stretch and move the plant. All is good, false-alarm!

Week 9 flower. Rust spots on leaves. Starts at top. This can only be calcium defic from ALL the research I've been doing. Can anyone chime in? I foiler spray a CalMag before lights out and I've added some more to the nute mix. 6.2 pH, runoff seems good.

NobodysBudsanswered grow question 4 years ago
rusty spots are more likely Mg defeciency, i think. Either way, CalMag has both, but if you already provide a ton of Ca, you may exacerbate the problem or it could actually be a lockout from abundance of Ca from the start. If you find that's the case, epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is another option for Mg deficiency.
pH should be fine at 6.2. You could try a slight increase to your pH before doing anything else. Both Ca and Mg are more avaiable for use at a higher pH. Try 6.5. Now, i'd also consult labels / brand website of your main nutrient product. If they suggest a pH, i'd stick near there, reassess and choose a different path to try to fix this particular problem. What they suggest is likely best for the specific chemical makeup of that product. Using above and beyond their base A/B system or whatever muddies that up a bit, but likely still the best starting point.
So, the answer depends upon what you've done recently and how the soil was fortifed (e.g. any garden lime, gypsum etc..) - and a lot of that is impossible to know in a precise way in many situations. Check the guaranteed analysis of the nutrients you use... even find a nute calculator online and tabulate PPM (think the one i link in my main GD profile comment area is working for liquid nutes, if an online calculator isn't accounting for specific gravity, it is not an accurate conversion). Ensure you are not bombing it with Ca or possibly P or K or common culprits too due to common 'bloom' products. Eliminate possibilitie as best you can and make an informed choice.
You've already begun one potential solution. Might as well observe for a week or so unless something crazy bad happens - if it does, Ca-tox is a real possiblity for this context. I'd still do the math on the PPMs of what you add from your fertilizer mix, since that has no impact on the plant, and might reinforce your hunch or point the needle somewhere else. That type of knowledge, even if just a ballpark, can help greatly when trying to deduce what is going wrong with the plant.

@NedKelly, thanks, dude! It's gonna be really neat to see our grows side-by-side. We, sort of, are doing the same thing (hydroponics) but you are more literally doing it, vs. my coco coir. I think it's going to be a neat comparison! I can't wait!
