Put them On water for 2 day and paper towels for 2 and transplanted to super soil. Put a dome over it and I think I left it too long. Temperature also we t up a little to 30 and they looked a bit stressed their leaves. Took it off and worked in temp and humidity. Couple days later, once their roots seemed to settle, they began to grow new leaves and fast.

They are growing fast, just leaves, not tall. Their leaves seemed like the heat stress and hum variation damaged them lightly. They have little yellow lines, so I raised just an inch light to 25” and pit a fan out pushing cool air in. I also added a timer on a humidifier. Hum55-70 temp 25-28c I put the fan inside on the light timer schedule in case it is maybe wind burn. Check out the pics and video and tell me what you think!

Everything looks great. Don't feed until the cotyledons start yellowing. If you can drop the temp a few degrees during the day, you might get some better growth. Your lamp height seems perfect, I have the TSW 2000 and have to have it 30" up in the beginning, so you're probably right on at 25". Last thing, if your tent temp is 81° then the temp in those domes is probably 5° higher. That's pretty hot. If your RH is over 50% in the tent and you can lower the temp, I'd remove the domes. Either way, great start!

They are growing fast. Watered them when dry 200 ml of ph 6.4. One seems a bit smaller. I have done the exact same thing with all so could be the soil, seed? Hoping she catches up. Kept hum 55-70 temp 25-27 they will need water tomorrow. It is has been two weeks since they popped.

Hi guys! These babies seem ready to start training and I am new to that but I want to try it. Thinking on toping them 4 times and tie them to do the horizontal scrog. I read that some think it works well with autos, some think you should just let them grow or LST Advice?

Definitely don't top at this point your about to start producing buds very soon. LST will get you what you want, tie down slowly to prevent snapping branches and your good to go on an auto.

The thing when TOPing autos is that the window of opportunity is very narrow. it must be done removing the 5th or 6th node, why? because once the 5th pair of leaves fully opens, then flowering will begin and once that happens you cannot TOP. Also keep in mind that every time you TOP you will increase the time the plant take to finish by 1 week. I would either LST or TOP once and then LST.

If you are going to scrog, I wouldnt bother topping especially with autos. I recommend just scrogging and removing all foliage that stays beneath the net once it goes into bloom. Minimal stress, maximum yield.

So These are 17 days old. I have been watering them with ph water 6.3-6.6 keeping it under control. I am growing on super soil so only Tap water but yesterday I added 2 cc of calmag and ph 6.4. Today they are some yellowing almost like cal mag def or too close to light?

I have them under mars hydro and 2x LED 50 watts. As they grew a bit, I moved the light up a little keeping them at 24” hopefully that fixes the issue.

Looks more like a calcium excess wich blocks slightly the uptake of potassium, iron, magnesium, and manganese. I would move the light closer to see if she spends that extra calcium and magnesium. Moving it further away may end up extending the effects and toxicity of the calmag additive. Hope it helped good luck growmie. And stay lit.

You got some yellowing on the bottom leaves between the veins, probably a very slight N deficiency. The yellow on top looks like regular new growth to me.

Is this calmag def or something else going on? I can see a little of bleeding from the veins. Not too bad but seems to be progressing a little bit. I water them ph 6.5 with 2cc of calmag right before it seemed to start. They are on super soil, 3rd week. Just her showing signs

Mine did that right around week 4. Turns out my mix was a little hot. I never saw it progress any further than some wrinkly leaves like you have. Those leaves recovered too.

They began to flower already. LST going well. I started it about a week ago. There are some signs of calmag def or root problems butI am pretty sure it is the “super soil” I read soil, runoff and ph a 1/4 of the dosage for WICCA bloom and calmag 1cc ph 6.5. Once they began to bloom they began to act out. Specially the green crack. Droopy and I feed them ph 6.3 water (Tap). Pulled light up a bit as it showed signs of burn. They perked up but now show signs of calmag? not sure what is happening. Everyone gives a different answer about ph as I am growing on Super soil. Some think I should keep it 6.1-6.3 and other 6.5-6.8. Hard to tell what to do with so many different answers. Some tell me to flush, others to feed slow, other say I should not feed them at all. Who knows? lol

What is happening? They began to show sex signs couple of days ago. I have been really good at waiting for the soil to dry. Yesterday, I noticed one was dropping. I had the fan on 3 (I had it at 2 Before) today they were dry so I just gave them ph water but they don't look better

Thank you guys, I pulled up the light and after few hours they look a lot better. My ph I will adjust to 6 next time? Would you feed them 1/4 of dosage of NH flora bloom? It seems to show K def? Do they show some def of it is light and fan damage?

Hey Mate, Had same issues over here. To my experience it's better to keep pH near 6 during veg. I raise to 6.5 when I'm in the last weeks of flower. I would suggest to adjust pH @ 6-6.1. Sativas, or sativa dominant(like your Green Crack) tend to like this setup more, Indies are more relaxed.. Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞 Servus OimRausch

Windstress and the under layers of soil probably didn't have enough time to dry out(overwatering) and i see her begin to show symptoms of either being too cold or being under too much light or having a Phosphorous deficiency. Good luck growmie this should fix your problems.

This week they really show signs of calcium deficiency. I have maintain ph 6.2-6.5 and temp and hum as well. I watered them as they grow, increasing the amount and times a week accordingly to not over water. I am giving them now a little humic acid and 3 cc of florabloom 0-4-5 as they looked P deficient and they began to bloom. It is super soil and perhaps too hot and it is locking out some of he calcium, etc? I have been giving them tap water so it is there. Maybe increase ph to 6.5? Some growers advised me to bring down ph of the green crack to 6.1-6.3 as they don't lime higher ph, but would that not be in the range of not calcium available ph range? I am giving them about a litter each every 2-3 days. They are starting to need more so I will water just ph water 2 L each and see what happens. According to ph charts on soil, 6.5-7 is were most nutes will absorbe best

They have brown spots on the leaves and some sign of burn on the tips, not too bad. I removed some leaves to allow some air and in case of leave seporia. Although I think it might be salts building around the roots. Next watering just water. PPM from the runoff a bit high 3000 in is about 400-500

Hey, depending on the super soil used, most are packed for 4-8 weeks of food inside of them for your plants. After about 7 weeks, I'd imagine that super soil was pretty depleted. Top dressing with more amendments, or switching to liquid nutrients to supplement them is needed and if what you are doing is clearing it up then you are on the right path. With a super-soil, you've got a lot more things dissolved in the soil than just nutrients, a lot of non-plant food ingredients are in there as well. EC/PPM for organic grows as far as run off are a bit harder to do since the meters read the non-plant food ingredients as well.

I like big buds and I cannot lie!!! Buds getting bigger and fatter. One blackberry continue to show weird signs on leaves. Last week I sprayed them with wood vinegar and they looked better. Some showing some brown spots in the edges. I put the light up a bit too as the tips also were burned. One just water ph and light feedings. They were in bought super soil. I think it was very hot and also once they switched to flowering too much nitrogen blocking other PK nutes. They are still nice and pretty. Could be bigger and better, always!

Just water ph 6.5 for two weeks. Harvest week 10. Very small plants very nice big buds and very nice quality. Dry for 1 week-10 days, maybe a bit more. Cure for 2 more weeks at least. Cheers!

@@Athos, this my the approach I’m using as well. I just topped my Blackberry Auto above the 5th node while the 6th was very immature. I let it get just big enough to have enough room to top without FIM’ing.
