Was initially disappointed they didn't all sprout, but then I bought another seed for the 4th pot which I'm pretty excited about. I've never grown this before but these 2 that sprouted are doing well enough as far as I know (I don't know much 🙃)

These plants both seem pretty healthy in terms of growth and whatnot, but they are also very different sizes. The bigger one also smells from up close, which is strange. I appreciate the speed with which these seeds germinated and popped up and besides having some wrinkles have given me no reason to worry

On the larger plant just LST has been done. After FIMing the other plant hasn't caught up since. I also did a little light defoliation on the FIMed plant in order to expose the new growths.

I dont grow in soil, but it looks like overwatering to me. I've noticed my plants will only start consuming a half liter of water a day once they are about twice the size week 5 or 6 of veg.

Everything is growing fine, no real issues, I snapped off a branch from the topped plant which was a bummer, but it's growing pretty decently. The topped one still isn't showing any preflowers or anything even though the other one is

The topped plant has been growing quickly and starting to catch up in size. Its also starting to show preflowers and taking a nice shape the flowering plant seems to have a cool mutation of some kind

Hello, I'm having some strange deficiency on my NL auto plants. I'm getting dark spots on many of the leaves and I'm not sure what's causing it, I water with ph 6.1 right now and have been providing biobizz nutrients any help identifying what's wrong would be really appreciated!

scope under leaf for any tiny creepy-crawlies... Could be nute-related to. I'd get that pH up to ~6.8 or so in soil. That may fix the problem. Then re-assess. if it takes a major nosedive while maintaining regular fertilization and bringing pH up, obviously change course and disregard what i say. If they are reddish or rusty dots, it could be Mg deficiency... but you also need to rule out lockout from feeding too much of any p/k/ca/s. So, if yo know the ppms of what you provide you can make a more precise guess as to what course of action to take. get that pH proper first... solves a ton of problems on its own. Ensure no dry pockets when watering.. get it fully saturated and that takes a little runoff even if in soil. (soilless 20% runoff, full strenght nutes everytime -- i mention in case what i say has tunnel vision.. different ways of growing require slightly different practices at times)

This plant is doing very well, although one of them is still not really flowering yet, it is gaining some nice size and a flat canopy. The plant has shown good resistance overall

Hello I'm wondering why this other NL auto hasn't started flowering. It's growing well and I would say it's recovered from topping but it still only shows preflowers while gaining a lot of height. Is this normal? Or is it possible this pheno wasn't really an auto? Thanks for help

My autos have flowered at various times. None earlier than 5 weeks I don't think without checking through my diaries? Id say they were all between the 6 - 8 week mark. I don't know enough to comment on the lights as the previous comment did as I'm not that versed myself. Hold steady there's still time my friend 👍 Good luck

The topped plant started flowering this week, the smaller plant that started to flower first has some very dense buds forming. I'm having a difficult time figuring out a proper nutrient dose, but both of these seem pretty resistant to my mistakes

The topped plant is filling in very nicely, I'm gonna start flushing the other one soon as it's getting chunkier and looking more ready. The smaller one of these has the densest nugs, pretty sure it has some sort of mutationconsidering some of the strange shaped buds on here

Plants are both growing well, the further developed one seems to be a polyploid plant and seemingly has more life left than the topped plant. The topped plant is now starting to dense up and pick up weight. Fan leaves have already started to yellow and fall off

I chopped down the shorter plant at the end of this week, giving it 11 weeks from sprout to chop, it's a pretty discreet smelling plant, just flushing now sitting in 5.5 pHd water The late to flower one is still flowering the fan leaves are slowly demolishing the plant completely, I'm hoping the buds finish nicely before it dies haha

Hello! I'm wondering how to approach a harvest date for this plant because the leaves are looking like the plant is nearing the end of its life but the buds don't look ready on account of the white straight pistils. How long can I keep this alive and developing?

No need to worry, cannabis is an amazingly smart plant and she is not dying. What is happening is vital growth elements such as carbs, sugars, amino acids, auxins etc which are "stored" in her older leaves, are being used by the plant to supplement flower growth. Cannabis does this because it is far more efficient to use the elements that are "stored" in her leaves, rather than making them from new during a high energy requiring activity such as flowering. Thankfully you have left all her leaves on, otherwise the plant would have to use energy to make those vital growth elements, plus using energy for flower growth. Had you taken her leaves off, some of her energy would be required for making amino acids, carbs, sugars etc as well as growing her flowers, meaning she would have less energy to grow flowers because some of her energy would be needed to make the sugars, carbs, amino acids etc. This is what the defoliation brigade fail to understand, not only are the leaves photosynthesising and making energy for the plant to grow, they are also "warehouses" for storing the vital growth elements for use during flowering. Therefore, what is happening is a normal process for cannabis during flowering. In future you could keep giving "grow" nutrients for the first weeks of flowering and this will ensure that your plants leaves don't go yellow as early. Congratulations too, your plant looks nice and chunky and I wish I could check it out in person! One other thing, try to pick up/remove any fallen older leaves from the pot and grow space, as leaving them lying around can invite fungal/mould growth. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

The one plant that was harvested put out over 90 grams and it actually very nice to smoke already after a very slow dry at high humidity and low temps. The other plant is now about to enter week 13 and it's looking just about done

The larger plant was topped, one was 87.3 the other was 140.5 the larger one also made a bunch of popcorn buds i just tossed into the trim as they didn't seem worth trimming, I should have probably committed to the deformation more inorder to eliminate those. Growing it for a long time was a good idea for this plant as the high feels stronger. I suggest topping it makes nice plants

Great buds, dude! I noticed that this time you harvested neither 10, nor 11 week. You think every plant really needs at least 8 weeks of flowering, or that depends on strain? As I can see, your previous harvests were a bit earlier that they might be. Aren't they? Actually I'm now excited with my plants. Wanna take max yield from them. And I guess it will take two more weeks to finish from now. So there no truth about 9 weeks from seed to harvest, of what I was dreaming by JAN 1st. What do you think about it, dude? 💪
