Looking good @Newbiegrower420. The way you trained those branches/tops amazes me.
How did you end up solving your high temps due to dehumidifier issue? I am currently experiencing the same issue end of week 3 flower.

UPDATE: Day 2 of week 12 - Friday 6th Nov:
Nutes in today, haven’t really had to do much else, as the girls just seem to be concentrating on fattening up the buds at a nice steady pace.
Oh and this week I’ve finally got a hint of a fruity tropical sweet smell from the buds.. It’s truly lush..
My thoughts are now at when to flush the ladies and how many weeks are left? I’d like to time it all perfectly but as this is my first grow now sure exactly how long they have left! Trichomes are still looking clear and pistils are still mostly white but don’t wanna get caught out and miss the best time to harvest and flush.. Keeping a close 👁️..
UPDATE: Day 4 of week 12 - Sunday 8th Nov:
Nutes in again and all looking good, except for the girl that got really wilted last week, she’s doing ok but no way near as nicely developed as the other 3 girls. She has one main cola that’s taken off more than all the other colas which I think may be partly due to topping not working as well as is did on the other 3 girls, she still has one really thick stem compared to the other 3. However the wilting did really slow her down on top of that 😞..
Apart from that I’m pretty happy, Christmas 🎄 is coming and it looks like I will have my first ever home grown smoke just in time.. 🙏🏼❤️🌱
UPDATE: Day 7 of week 12 - Wednesday 11th Nov:
Nutes in and a small amount of defoliation. Girls weren’t quite ready for a feed yesterday but this morning they were super thirsty and leaves 🍃 were slightly droopy, nothing major but they were all really ready for a drink.
Put an extra 18w 2700k LED strip (from an impulse buy at the beginning of my grow journey) in last night to try and boost bud growth. I think my Viparspectra 300w LED alone wasn’t cutting it. I know it’s only a small increase in watts but the extra 2700k flower lighting for the last week weeks of flower can’t be a bad thing right? .. My DLI was 32 before adding the light so I hope this works positively.
Looking at the girls at around 10 hrs after adding the additional LED and they look great so let’s see what happens..
✌️🏼 & ❤️🍃🌱

Hi! See the first set of true leaves and see the curls in the leaf.. I believe it was due to my humidifier blowing directly on them for a few hours. They seen to have been fine since I adjusted the humidifier.. Will they be ok or am I missing something? Thanks

too much wind can cause leaves to grow in weird shapes, shouldn't really affect the overall health of the plant, but it may cause denser growth than you want! I made this mistake by having a pretty big oscilating fan blowing directly on 2 of my plants. They grew shorter and denser, but with some defoliation and time, they turned out fine.

Hi! Since upgrading my 4 girls into new 3 gallon pots & giving them a good water the humidity levels in the tent have soared to over 70% Will this reduce as they drink all the water in the pots? Shld I invest in a dehumidifier yet? Running out of space 😬

Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

Hey!
So first things first..
Before switching to flower you need to make sure your plants will fit in your grow space without going into the lights and getting light burn.
Plants normally double or triple in size when they're put into 12/12..
So lets say the tallest they can grow is 1,5 meters tall then I suggest switching them around 50-60cm so they don't get too tall.
Wonder pie is a Indica sativa hybrid so she might not stretch that much but you never know..
Now if you don't have a height limit then whenever you see that she has a nice structure and plenty future bud sites to flower.
So if you’ve got space it’s really but to you when to switch..
They look healthy after the topping and defoliation. Maybe wait a bit more.
Hope this helped, any questions just let me know.
@ me or DM.
Good luck and happy growing!

Hi can anyone tell me what these brown spots are on the leaves? There is also some brown around the edges of some leaves too. I introduced BioBizz Bloom and Top Max at 1ml/l two days ago, is it this? Or do I have a deficiency from filtered water? Time for some CalMag? Or??????

Plz take a look at my 4 short and stocky (known as a low growers) Nirvana Papaya LST’d girls (pics from week 6) and tell me if I should flip to flower now or hang a week? Think I’m running out of height space. I’ve got 20inches spare from the LED plus a little more if needed.

CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hey there Newbie, looks like they are ready to flip, this you can tell by the healthy new growth . Keep up with the LST though, from now until the end of flower stretch and it's possible the plants double or triple in size. That's why you want to keep managing it as long as you can. Hope this helps 🚀

Seems I have a couple of leaf issues. Plz look at the pics, any advice as to what could be causing these? Pic one the leave seem inverted, pic two, are the leaves curling down due to burning from the light or something else? Thnx 🙏🏼

Dahoolaanswered grow question 4 years ago
if the sides of the leaves curl, this often indicates that the plant is evaporating more than it absorbs. A more constant water supply can help. If the tip of the leaf curls downwards, this often indicates overwatering.

Esoteric_growinganswered grow question 4 years ago
You say the were under watered, if so they should bounce back very quickly if that was the cause. When you say they droop more at feed time do you mean before or after. If it’s before you need to increase the intervals between feeding and if it’s after chance are you are feeding too much volume. It says over 2L per pot in your diary which sounds a lot for a 10L pot.
I give my 23L pots about 3L for reference. I would probably stick to top feeding with soil but that’s just my preference as I can see when they get a little run off, although with bio Bizz you don’t really need a 10-20% run off

Plz look at my ladies and see if you can tell me how they have left? I’m growing 4 Nirvana Papaya.. 6 weeks of VEG, 6 weeks of FLOWER so far.. This strain normally needs around 7-9 weeks in flower to mature fully according to Nirvanas guidelines.. I’m in 3 gallon pots. Thanks 😊

Hey friend,According to your buds look and size.I would say it’s about 2 or 3 more weeks to go.But you have know when the harvest window opens.Mean the leaves will show deficiencies , yellowing and most of the white pistils become orange.The best method is using 60x microscope and check trichomes colour.If trichomes are mostly milky/cloudy about 80/90 % and fill with some amber colour.That’s the best time for you to harvest.Also Don’t forget to flush your soil, one or two weeks before harvest if you are using inorganic nutrients.Happy Growing... ✌️
Newbiegrower420started grow question 4 years ago
Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?

If you aren't at max DLI for how many hours you run your lights per day, it can only help. if you think you are up near that edge, watch plant's reaction more closely.

Hi I’m going to be flushing the girls soon as I think I’ve only got a couple of weeks left. I’m using Biobizz soil and Nutes. When flushing should I allow heavy run off with each flush? Should I stop the CalMag too? Biobizz say run off during flushing isn’t necessary, Any advice?

RafaelRapidosanswered grow question 4 years ago
I would say run offs are necessary during flushing. In that way, you will actually flush away all the nutrients from the soil ...and not just into the saucer so it will be sucked back up by the plant. Also, if you water heavily and often with no run offs you might overwater your plant. I would also very strongly recommend using Canna Flush to get rid of all excessive nutrients!

🆘 Plz look at my pics. My microscope arrive today and got a first good look of the trichomes on one of my girls Im saying she’s ready? Amber trichomes appearing, including a few on the lower buds I haven’t flushed or given a period of darkness yet. Biobizz soil & Nutes only..

Hempy_Masteranswered grow question 4 years ago
You've got a couple weeks to go. It's definitely time to flush if you haven't already. If you harvest now you will likely regret it because smoke with be decent but very heady and short acting, and your yield will be reduced. Your plant is going to spend the next two weeks fattening up and ripening. I'd highly recommend waiting until you see 20-25% amber trichomes anywhere you look. The smoke will be much better and your scale will also be happy. Best lesson I ever learned as a grower is: when you think you're ready for harvest, wait another week. Hope this helps!

Hi grow diaries!
Please look at my Nirvana Papaya diary. We’re at the end of week 14, week 8 of bloom. One week of flushing. I asked you all last week how long they’ve got left but wanted to see see we’re still on track for around another week left before harvest?

russrahlanswered grow question 4 years ago
From the look of the pics and video of your diary it’s still got at least a week to go, probably 2 if it was me. You still have a lot of new growth with white pistols on your main buds. If you can’t see your tricombs up close and personal then I would wait till almost all your hairs have receded and the bud will fatten up and look plumper. This is when you should harvest in my opinion if you gotta go by just the look. This will ensure you have decent buds. But better to get a cheap handheld microscope for $10-20 to see your tricombs, then you can make a more educated decision on what type of high you prefer. Always wait till at least all tricombs are cloudy, at this point your at max THC and get the cleanest high. If you let it go longer the tricombs will turn amber, when there 20-50% amber is when you get the best of both THC and CBN which reacts with the THC to give you a more sedative “couch lock” type high. The longer you let it go after this point the tricombs will go black and bud quality starts to go down. So if you have even a cheap handheld microscope it can really make a world of difference in your final product. Without it your just kinda guessing as each strain is different and varies widely with how they look at harvest. Some strains will be ready tricombs wise before a hair even turns red, yet others will be completely red haired and still have clear tricombs... so it really is hit and miss without a microscope sometimes.

Newbiegrower420commented4 years ago
@KevinC, ah thanks 😊 🙏🏼. I have really enjoyed the LST part of the grow although it’s much trickier now the stems are much stronger..
With the dehumidifier, whilst it was in the tent it was kicking out some crazy temps like 32 to 35 degrees C during lights on, so there was just not enough space for the plants and the dehumidifier (my tent is only 3 wide x 3 high x 2 deep ft) so it kept just getting hotter and hotter, but now I’ve just got the dry air outlet sealed up with ducting going straight into the tent and rest the dehumidifier is out in the open next to the tent. Ive also got a big fan blowing on the tent and dehumidifier. So although it is still raising temps by a couple of degrees I’m getting a nice 27-28 degrees during lights on and a not too shabby 24-25 degrees C at lights off.. The dehumidifier needs a larger space to work effectively so whether in a cardboard box or inside the tent it’s just working over time and producing too much heat even with the extraction fan at full blast. This way is just working so much better for my set up thankfully. Give it a try if your experiencing the same problem. I’m happy with the result. I’ve got a lil video on week 10 that shows my set up if that helps 😊✌️🏼🌱🍃
Good luck with your grow! It’s looking good!
