Just harvested--will check back in once it's dried and cured. Am expecting it to not be as good as it could be, since parts of the buds were cooked by the nute burn months ago. Current smell: bananas and diesel, with a bit of sweet candy and pine. UPDATE: having cured for a few weeks, I'm happy to say it's worked out a bit better than I had worried. The flavor is extremely mild and smooth, but not much else going on. The smell is similar (bananas, diesel, pine, candy), but very mild. It's not the strongest stuff, but it gives a lovely mellow relaxing high. Great for getting to sleep or relaxing on the couch. Good for anxiety too.

Reviews. Nutrient
The plants have definitely been happier since I picked up some Algamic and Calmag. I haven't tried any other lines yet, so will just say I'm pretty happy but will leave it at 4 stars since I struggled so much with getting the nutes balanced.
Reviews. Lamp
Very happy! Noticed a huge difference from my weaker blurple lamp. The one criticism is that I wish I could daisy chain and add on lights.

Well, this one took a while! Harvested on day 134. Flushed for the last week. I could have waited a bit longer: about 5% of trichromes were amber and the rest were cloudy, but it was still putting on weight. But I was impatient and needed room in the tent, so decided to chop. It definitely was a bit fussy with getting the nutrient levels right, and it was a slow grower. Maybe as a result of my nutrient problems it wasn't as sticky or smelly as other folks have got. However, I can't complain about the yield: 233g wet, 83g dry. The buds are pretty dense too, so there was actually very little trim--I didn't bother weighing it since it was so limited. It responded well to FIMing but I think I should have just topped it. It seemed very happy with LST too. Some big (for me!) buds too, and no issues at all with mold or disease. Generally pleased--if it had been a little less nute-fussy, I would give this really high marks. As is, I think it's an 8/10. Final note: thanks to the various folks who commented on this diary, especially those who offered advice! It was really helpful and my grow definitely benefited. I learned a lot and am looking forward to my next grow! I've got three autos from Barney's Farm germinating now (Pineapple Express Auto, LSD Auto, and Malana Bomb Auto) and will get those diaries started once they pop. Thanks all.

A few leaves have started showing purple spots, some with pale green/whitish bits as well. Picture above. Any help would be great. Iโ€™ve been feeding on the BioBizz schedule every second watering, usually every other/every third day.

Hey there GentleWilliam , i have to disagree with MrWeeds here, this looks more like a pH related issue. The symptoms you're seeing like the rust colored speckles and the burnt edges of the leafs as well as the yellowing in general might be caused by a pH that's too high or a pH fluctuation meaning those nutrients would be less well absorbed . My guess is that and a nutrient lock out because you're feeding a lot of nutrients and over time it locked out the plant. Try flushing once by watering until runoff then measuring 20% more water and rinsing the soil well. then start feeding again at the same level but without the fish mix, which raises your pH quite a lot. Hope this helps ! ๐Ÿš€

The rust spots on the leaves are getting worse. I flushed twice and fed with a bit of extra runoff, but a day later and the curling burnt ends look like nute burn. Any thoughts would be great!

if you flushed and it got worse it means it is not a nue burn. it looks to me like a big nute def. the fisrt 2 pics looks like a heavy potassium deficiency, the third a lack of phosphorus and in all of them i see nitrogen def. in my experience under qbs, like yours mars ts, plants need more k than under hps or cobs. to solve this i would feed her with some bloom fert (like n.p.k. 2.2.4) and a strong pk (like 13/14). but go easy with them the first time and rise a bit every time.

Week 9: I've tried flushing to see if that helps with the purple leaf spots, and well try to adjust the nutes from there. We'll see! Thanks for the folks who chipped in with suggestions.

Hi Friend, Obviously I don't know your setup, but when I'm carrying multiple generations in the same tent, I keep a couple of small LED lights I can use to "fill in" when necessary. That's about the only way you can keep your youngsters from getting too leggy during their juvenile stage. I use Bloom Plus BP1000 for this.

Growpotkincommented4 years ago
@AuldKelt, Thanks, that's a great idea. I used your comment as an excuse to order another main light, so I think I can work it out that way. Appreciate the suggestion though. ๐Ÿ‘

@Growpotkin, Since you're new to the process a viable alternative for you as a temporary fix to your lighting needs is for you to simply buy a single LED bulb. Miracle makes several nice examples that are sold in Amazon for about $15. A single full spectrum led will produce 100w but only use 9w of energy. You can get it overnight if you're a Prime member. Single led grow bulbs are also sold at ND and Lowes, but I haven't used theirs so can't recommend. Take Care.

@AuldKelt, thanks for the recommendation! I've been thinking about exactly this, but I haven't wanted to commit since it's only my second grow. But I think I'll need to go for something. Appreciate it!

Overload of magnesium can Lock out calcium , am abundance of magnesium will cause unatural purple discoloration not associated with cold temperature or genetics this purple is indicative of a magnesium abundance with calcium lock out , genetics of many strains have purple leaves , buds , stems or even slightly orange to redish but they all occur specifically from one or anotge3r factor that influences this color to show and thise same strains can have no purple so if your strain isnt known for its purple , if your strain is not known to show purple under healthy conditions you can assume that since your gettinh rust spots and that purple it seems to be unatural and non genectic color changing so decrease your magnesium and see what happens do not feed at all with any nutrient that contains magnesium, if you eleminate magnesium and you see any improvement on your new growth , then the conclusion would be magnesium abundance causing calcium lockout
