Day Zero - 60 x 60 cm tent - 120w Kingbrite Full Spectrum Bar LED - LED 32" from pots and 50% power - 2 x 12.5l Airpots - Plagron Light Mix - Using TaNgs OG easy feeding schedule - Planted after 24hr in soaked paper towel: 21st August - Just watering top soil 50ml rain water when needed every two days ---------------- Day One Girls are looking healthy but maybe a little stretchy so lowered light to 18 inch and watered with 50ml rain water. **LED now 18" from pot & 100% power** ----------------- Day Two Lightly watered 25ml of rain water each just to keep the top soil damp. Sadie's showing her next set of leaves but Linda is a little pale / behind due to her stretching. Hoping the lowered LED will sort this after a few days. ------------------ Day Three **Finally settled on 35cm LED height** Both ladies are now showing their second leaves and getting bigger. 50ml rain water each. ----------------- Day Four Sadie's going strong but Linda's leaves are drooping. Think it's either heat or a watering issue. RH is low at 40% so added a wet towel to increase this. ----------------- Day Five Linda's leaves are still droopy but they're both growing strong and new leaves are coming through. Added a rotating fan today and got the temp down to 75f and the RH up to 61% with the wet towel. No water today as pots are still heavy and I'm watching Linda. ------------------ Day Six Swapped the girls around and watered 50ml of tap water each. 7.1ph and left out for 24hrs. 81f and 60rh Linda's first leaves are still droopy but she's really coming along with new growth ------------------ Day Seven No water today for the final day of the first week. Both girls are growing nicely and excited to start a feed in 3 days. End of the first week 🎉

Hi guys, I need some recommendations for my LED height. I'm running a Kingbrite full spectrum 120w bar light at 32" from my pots at 50% power and I'm worried my girls are stretching. Can anyone give me some advice please? It would be really appreciated :)

I run my 300w full spectrum LED at 15 - 20cm (5.9 - 7.9 inches) from the top of the tallest plant.. At 10 cm (4 inches) it starts slowly damaging the leaves. - My seedling is around 40 cm (15.5 inches) from the lamp, and not stretching at all. I'd say you could go a lot closer than you currently are, and turn it to full power as well. All you really need to do, is make sure it's not burning the plant, which an LED generally need to get pretty close to do. You can check that by hand. If you can hold it where your plant is, for a couple of minutes, without it starting to feel hot, you're good.

Hi All :) One of my girls - Linda - has drooping leaves. I think it's a heat issue as I'm still waiting on a fan for my tent. My question is should I water her today? I'm also scared it's an over watering issue so don't want to make it worse. Thanks guy :)

Watering is my first guess, but it looks like you're watering properly based on the absorption pattern I see in your photos. My next guess is that you have given her nutes already. Her leaves are rather dark for a baby. She doesnt need nutes until the round leaves start turning yellow. If it's a premixed composition, all you can do is wait it out. I also noticed you use rainwater. Sometimes this can be way too acidic so you should check the pH. No rash decisions yet, it's just a little drooping, see how she develops.

Day Eight Start of week two! 25ml of tap water each just to moisten the top soil. No nutes until day Ten. Using TaNgs OG easy feeding schedule. -------------- Day Nine No water today as I'm going to start a light feed tomorrow. Both girls looking great. -------------- Day Ten Mixed up 2 litres of tap water with 2ml each of AN Sensi Bloom A & B and left to air out for 24hrs. PH was 6.6 Fed lightly with 100ml each which should keep them going a few days. Starting to really come on now ☺️ ------------- Day 11 - No Water / Feed Both plants looking great but tent is slightly too hot at 85f extractor fan should fix this in a week. Linda's definitely the bigger out of the two right now! -------------- Day 12 - 100ml Feed each -------------- Day 13 - No Water / Feed -------------- Day 14 - 150ml Feed each

Day 15: Start of week 3 and the girls are going strong! Fed 150ml each. Using TaNgs OG easy feeding schedule 👊 --------------- Day 16: Girls got fed again today and are looking all happy! They've both thrown pistils today whoooop Fed 150ml each ---------------- Day 17: No feed or water today as the pots are still heavy! Did a very light tuck of a couple of leaves to expose more growing sites. ---------------- Day 18: Pots were completely dry so fed 150ml. Linda's having some problems :( I think it's cal mag def but her new leaves are coming in twisted and thin. --------------- Day 19: Been assured that the leaves looking scruffy on Linda is fine. I'm carrying on with the feeding schedule. Both girls got 200ml today, should be able to feed them daily soon. Really starting to show the beginning of flowering now. --------------- Day 20: Realised I'm definitely going to run out of height in my tent so started LST for the first time ever today! Also fed 200ml each. --------------- Day 21: Upped the nutes today to 1.5ml per l. Fed 200ml each. Carried on with the LST today. The bud sites are definitely looking happier for it. Finally ordering an extractor fan tomorrow.

Hi Everyone, I've noticed a couple of pale slodges on my older leaves. Picture in gallery. Is this nute burn? Or is it a sign I need to up my base nutes? Or maybe it's a Mag Cal Def 🤔 Hoping one of you grow wizards can help as this is my first grow ☺️

Young padawan. Your soil mixture should have enough nutrients to get your plant through for quite some time.. Your plant looks heavy and nitrogen saturated.. I recommend you try just water for a weak.,.. Phed or not.. Depending on your soil if it has peat moss in it.. It most likely has an acidic content already which just so happens to be a great thing to grow cannabis in. Pay no attention to schedules in a sense.. there are only guides or outlines.. And they are really aimed at hydroponics or soilless growers. So save yourself a ton of money. use water. Your plant will be happier and you will be as well because she will grow like she is supposed too. Salts in the medium that is rich in nutrients creates a bunch of problems..

Start of week six and the girls have stopped stretching and are fully in flower. Little disappointed in their overall size but looking at other diaries it seems a small plant.

Start of week 7. Dropped feed for a couple of days as the RH was too high. Day 45 will start the overdrive phase hoping the buds will really start to bulk out now. Using TaNgs OG easy feeding schedule 🙌

looking at these you probably have around 3 weeks left in the grow, if your pushing for 70 days that is a great plan, the plant will be more than ready at that point. if i was you i would start a flush when you get to day 60, at that point doing a 10 day flush would get your girl ready for harvest, your tichomes are what you need to watch, and look more at the buds. these are starting to cloud up and the next stage is amber, looks good, and happy soon to be harvest

On to week 8. These are really sweet smelling but not very pungent. Separated the Kolas out slightly on day 50 just to help air circulation. Day 55 - mostly cloudy trichomes and the Man Bear Alien Pigs are taking over the tent so going to start the flush tomorrow and cut when the leaves have faded. Day 56 - Used a pocket microscope to confirm the trichs are turning amber and yay they are! So started the flush today and will chop when the fan leaves have faded. Aiming for a 70 day grow using TaNgs OG easy feeding schedule 🙌

Start of week 9 and 2nd day of the flush :) Will chop these when the fan leaves have yellowed. The RH in the tent was getting stupidly high and the MBAP's need the room so chopped on Day 59 after four days flush because I didn't want to risk the dense buds going moldy. It's now drying in brown bags and will update will weight and smoke review once dried and cured. Weeds dry and now curing in jars, definitely doesn't have a massively strong smell to it just very fruity. Linda - 41g Sadie - 34g Final weight but will do a full report in a week after its cured abit and I've had a good vape.
