All four seeds popped and are strong and healthy. Just purchased a MarsHydro TSW2000 and will be putting it in the tent as soon as it arrives :) Much excite.
Three out of the four are doing really well but unfortunately one has a serious mutation :(
I will let her grow as i have read on various forums that these plants can make a turnaround and even come back stronger.
New light went in at the beginning of the week and first impressions are its a very good light for the money. Time will tell....
Well....
Unfortunately the mutated one had to be pulled as she just stopped growing. Doe to me forgetting to label my girls I have no idea which of the two strains I have lost. I guess we'll find out as bud colour shows through.
I trained two of the girls with some light LST and I topped all 3 because they are growing so well at the 3 week mark. I will start training the 3rd one this week i should imagine.
Day 1 - wk 4
New Garden staples came today and the larger of the 3 girls looked ripe for a good pinning down 😁
Started spiral LST in the other two to maintain canopy height equal to the big girl 🤘
End of week 4 and all is well.
Defoliated and strapped all the girls down for a final time and getting ready to flower.
I will be increasing nutes and and switching the fish mix for bio grow. Adding in topmax and bloom and away we go 😁😁
Just a quick question about stretching in Auto flowers really......
Obviously my girls have had a wee stretch in Veg but will they go again once in flower?
you will have a small stretch but rule of thumb, when plants flower they double in size.
3-5 weeks are the vegative stage
4-6 weeks is the stretch phase
6-10 weeks is typically the flower stage
this chart will help more so you can understand what is happing, you should be ok, happy growing
Ok so......
This is a Mars Hydro TSW2000 specific question.
1, When should i go 100% with the light as far as plant age is concerned?
2, I've seen various distance tables that all vary so i'm asking TSW2000 growers specifically what their distances are for Autos.
Many thanks
Ah, the Mars Hydro lights, I currently run 2x Mars Hydro 150w TS1000s, so pretty close to what you are doing. I keep em high and let the plants grow up into them.
Seedling/Sapling 100% power - 60 inches, this'll put you around 9000lux, 70umol.
Veg 100% power - 36 inches - gives you 20-50k lux and 150ish-400ish umol
Flower 100% power- 18-24 inches give you 50k-70k and 400-700ish umol.
Hope this helps.
Well we're at that limbo stage where height has slowed right down and they're settling down for flower.
First full round of bloom and top max nutes given this week and made the switch to bio grow from fish mix.
Seen some real growth on the bud sites and even some trichomes showing on the leaves 👌
Removed biogrow from the feeding line up as I think I have given them too much nitrogen and I've also upped the Calmag as I have a few brown spots in some leaves.
Other than that they're still going strong 💪
I have a serious problem with two of my girls and I can't figure out whats wrong.
The pics attached show the brown spots that have now spread to a good 60% of the leaves on each plant. I've defoliated as much of it as I can and its now affecting even the sugar leaves. Any ideas?
I think you have toxicity. Check the EC of runoff. I'm also not intimately familiar with your nutrients but make sure you're going low on the N. Otherwise check the pH of feed and runoff, if you're overfeeding, your runoff will probably be super acidic, causing uptake issues.
Had a major suspected leaf septoria issue that I'm trying to fix on two of the girls. Seems its halted bud development at the moment but hopefully that will pick back up in the next week.
Just water now for a few days. Trichs about 70% cloudy. Will put them into darkness for 72 hours and chop down after for dry and cure to begin 😁
UPDATE!
Trichs changed rapidly after 48hrs in darkness so i took them down and got them prepped for drying. They hadnt had any water for the 48hrs of dark so the pots where nice and light.
Using my grow tent as a dry room and temp is 70.5f and RH is 62%. hopefully will maintain this and get a 7-10 day dry :-)
