So this is my first ever grow! I started off with a 50W full spectrum sun-like lamp from amazon that I had left over from wintering my lemon tree last year. I started off with it at around 12 inches above the seedling but then the little guy seemed to be stretched so I moved it to about 8 inches above. I realize this light is probably not going to be enough so I ordered the Mars Hydro ts600, which will be here next week. There is no tent so airflow is fine, though that probably means that there is light leakage. What can ya do! Drilled holes on the bottom and around a 3gal IKEA trash can, used BioBizz Light soil mix. I have been keeping the humidity up by misting half a coke bottle on the inside and keeping it over the seedling, with a hole in it for airflow. As of Day 4, I have not watered yet (soil is still moist). I'm pretty clueless as I've only ever raised orchids and a few other houseplants, so any advice is gladly accepted. :)

This is my first grow! How close should my 50W LED light be to my seedling while I wait for the MarsHydro TS600 to arrive next week? I have this light from amazon : https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07S1MRVRP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A20WFP7LQVUC91&psc=1

you need to have your light set at between 16-18 inches away from seed. with your new light you will have it set at 28 inches until flower where the new one will be at 16-22 inches, hope this helps

Is my 6cm tall seedling getting too much light? I downloaded a luxmeter app and for front/back cameras, it reads 4000-6000 lux. I'm worried about the light green veins. Is this normal? First grow so super unsure what everything is supposed to look like. Light is 18cm from plant.

Hey So looking at photo 5, having a seedling this young that's 6 inches tall...is stretching for light. Versus excessive light. I usually raise these itty bitty babies under a couple cfl twisty bulbs(low heat and can be 4 inch from the plant). I think the mars light is going to be better in the end. Right now id just be mindful of watering practice (over or under), and keeping the room as comfortable as can be. If it's decent soil you should only need to give it water right now and survive. Ive had some bright growth on young veg plants and it be totally normal, watch for cupping leaves, burning leaves, etc. And maybe support the seedling if it wants to tip over. When the mars comes definitely keep it like 30 inches away at first and then slowly adjust. Happy growing. โœŒ๏ธ

I've noticed that there are new leaves towards the base of the plant that are growing strangely. Could this be from low humidity? I've been having a hard time keeping it up. I also noticed that some of the leaves are clawing down (see week pics). Perhaps related? Haven't fed yet!

Just pull the twisted bottom new growth off, everything else looks good so far. Dont feed to early in soil, wait till you see they need food. The little bit of curling downwards is just the new growth growing out, unless you already added nutes, then it could possibly be the N claw. Cheers

Burnt edges, tips curled up, canoeing. I've been having trouble balancing airflow and heat in such a small tent, and as a result the tent is on average about 28 degrees celcius daytime and the plants still get a lot of wind. Looking for whatever advice you can give! :)

Hi there,I canโ€™t explain to you scientifically.All I know is Plants are less defensive during flowering stage and they are using all the energies for bud production.They will show heat stress( mostly if temp is above 25C or intense heat at buds,hot spot heat stress)and leaves discoloration(may be different from strain to strain.As long as I can keep my substrate pH in proper range,I will not worry a bit about those discoloration).All I would do is making her as comfortable as I can until harvest and focus on buds for pests, mold or rot.Happy growing... โœŒ๏ธ

So I'm noticing on my leaves, many of the trichomes are amber - perhaps 20-30% average, and up to 50% on some. However, the buds have not gotten there yet. Approximately how long before the buds catch up? PS: are these trichomes cloudy or clear? I have an inexperienced eye. ๐Ÿ˜‡

Its cant take a month easy.. trychome develloping in sugar leaf tend to be more expose to light and mature much quick. And juging trichome on the colors of the sugar leaf will result in a very low quality bud. The trim will be better.. but would have been trimed away.. always wait till calyxes have swollen and the hair have mainly turned on most of the buds before thing about harvest point as sugar leafs rippened weeks and weeks before. When the seeds sacks (buds) have got almost no clear crystal and mainky all cloudy like a drop of milk in.l a glass of water and a few are amber like a coffe drop in a glass if water. And the overl all clear to amber exceeds by over 90% of the clear trichomes your ine the harvest zone there will always be a few clears heads. So time it to the milkiness to amber ration one you are around that point

So let me preface this by saying that I'd LOVE to come home to some dried weed, ready for curing, but I don't want a subpar bud. My original plan was to chop tomorrow before I leave town, but many trichs still look clear (I think), w/ a few amber. Advice? More pix/info in diary!

Doesn't look mostly cloudy for me in the first picture, maybe a third cristal, 2 thirds cloudy at most, second and third one is the same, and fourth one is still what i would guess to be 15 to 20% clear cristals. i would chop her too if i was in your shoes, even tho i know i shouldn't at this point but i possibly would do it. well good luck on your decision growmie :) stay lit and merry Christmas.

Youโ€™re a novice with cannabis, but an experienced gardener. Youโ€™ll do well. @experimentgreen advised you wisely. A speedy wet/dry cycle is preferred over a soaking. But one must watch for too dry. Even experienced growers cannot accurately tell anyone else precisely how far to keep lights. Each situation is custom. If they stretch as babies, not enough light. Starting out far isnโ€™t a terrible thing, you can always get closer. And fix it also by adding soil or repotting to add stability. Keep humidity high during veg, and low during flower. enjoy the process and your harvest

@growdoctordc, oh my gosh amen! I was really bad about giving a few plants in the past just enough water and then they had chronic drought and it was soooo bad! I was seriously screwing them up and making them so mad at me. Every grow, grower, and environment are totally different...just adapt and modify and observe...my plants usually tell me what they need, even if i don't listen sometimes.

@growdoctordc, Thanks! The Mars arrived today and I've set it up 24 inches away, as per the instructions. We'll see how she does! I've already gotten my fair share of joy and excitement out of this little experiment so anything more that comes from it is a bonus ๐Ÿ˜„

@Sweet_Seeds, I realize that I'm only 4 weeks in, but as a beginner, this was an amazing strain to grow so far. It honestly just grew itself - today marks only the third time I've watered it, and it's still so happy with no signs of any distress whatsoever. Thanks for creating such a sturdy plant!

@Sweet_Seeds, You guys think so? I can either harvest tomorrow, or I will have to leave the plant unattended for 7 days over Christmas. Looking at the trichomes, I do see some amber here and there, but there are still a lot of clear ones (I think, it's my first grow so it's hard for me to tell). I'm going for a sort of balanced high, but certainly leaning towards a sativa/non couch-locked feel - something that leaves me still feeling productive if need be. I've added a bunch of pics of the trichomes, taken from random locations around the plant. Would you mind telling me if I should chop tomorrow or leave it be for a week? Thank you!! ๐Ÿ˜‡

I personally believe, that it may be due to a lack of magnesium. Does it appear on all the leaves? On the lower leaves? I would personally add an extra magnesium, which even if the reason is not a deficiency, always comes in handy. Use CalMag.. But I recommend, that you try to measure the EC. This way you can get better results. Sweet smokes! - Apolo
