Already learning that I can veg way longer and grow taller plants but I'm inpatient so ill be flipping in the next couple weeks. I also have been foliar spraying neem weekly to help with pest prevention.
The canopy is virtually full. Next round I'm going for taller plants to make use of the space. Anyway all is healthy. 👍 Just done the last foliar spray if neem alongside a foliar of aspirin 👌 now it's time to watch these plants stretch! I've added a far red led on for 6 hours in the middle of the light schedule and on for 10 mins after lights out to get them sleeping quicker.
Plants have started to stretch nicely, the torpedo is going a little lime green so Im thinking it needs some nitrogen, also the tangerine dream is growing way too compact so I reckon it's going to yield poorly if it doesn't turn out male that is...😑Anyway I top dressed with some earthworm castings today and will be adding green planet massive bloom at 2-4ml per litre starting next week with every watering. I will be taking more pics once buds begin to form!

This is actually week 2 (14days since switch), Little budlets have started to form. Stretch has slowed down, getting ready to start stacking! 🔥 I did an ewc aact on the 23rd and will do another next week. I'm trying out an all purpose fertilizer that has humic/fulvic and seaweed included in the mix so I can use less bottles. Seems to be good so far! I've been using massive bloom at 2ml/Lt the last few feeds and will up to 3ml/Lt next week. Tangerine dream is still a runt bit it did turn out female so that's good atleast! Till next week! 🍃
Thought I'd ask more experienced growers if I'm doing well so far?Not sure if the size of budlets are good for week two?I don't pH any of my nutes, my ph pen broke last round,so I'm happy that I don't have any visible lockouts so far! Any advice or views from expirenced growers?
Looks good to me. I dont ph nothing and just go off what the plant tells me. I would do a light defoliation to open up some bud sites and get the air flowing into the center of the plant but other than that your in great shape. Hope this helps.
This week has been exiting! The plant has stopped stretching and is now focusing on bulking. Dust signs of frost on day 20 flower. I've been formulating a feeding schedule that I have posted in picture. Also my watering schedule for flower is feed - feed - tea - feed - water repeat!
I did a popcorn seed sprout tea alongside a aerated ewc and ecothrive charge tea last week that the girls really liked! I also did a DIY calcium feed with eggshells dissolved in white vinegar at week one and two of flower. I've also started using silica from Buddha's tree. This I will incorporate from veg for next round. As for the lights I have my lm301b boards at 150w (75w per board) at 8-10 inches away as well as a far red led (730nm) at 5 watts in theiddle.if the two boards. I have it on for 10 hours in the middle of the light period for the Emerson effect and on for 10 mins after lights out to get the girls.sleeping quickly aswell as photosynthesising more efficiently. So far I have to say I've noticed quicker sexing and bud formation from my last round but this isn't much of a comparison as they weren't same strain conditions etc. I've bought a mini dehumidifier that I'll be using to gradually reduce humidity and temps to 35% and 23°c in line with the vpd curve to finish of my flowers! Hope you enjoy this update and are exited as I amp to see these ladies Finnish! Peace! ☮️✌️

Pictures taken 28 days into flowering (end of week three start if week 4) Nothing special this week everything is going along as expected except for a slight calcium deficiency starting to show, so imma bump up calcium intake to try and correct. It's my bad for not using enough to begin with! The smells are starting to come through. The torpedo is deffo gonna be a sweet one! The purple punch has a musky earthy smell. With the skunk I can't smell anything yet, Same with the tangie. I've upped the nutrient intake leaning more towards the pk side while slowly reducing nitrogen. Hopefully my homebrew feeding schedule works out lol! Happy growing to all! ☮️✌️
So I have a small case of thrips. At first I was thinking the white bite marks in the leaves was some sort of deficiency until I saw one of the little buggers! Luckily it doesn't look bad so I'm just going to Finnish the run. Are there any mid flower treatments? Thanks
I put water in a spray bottle with a few drops of Dawn dish soap when I had a similar pest problem, but that happened to me during veg. Maybe if you did it extremely, extremely lightly and try to avoid the buds, but I honestly wouldn't recommend spraying the plants with anything if they've already flowered. If it isn't too bad, I would try and wait to see it through to the end, but if things take a turn for the worst, be ready to chop her down early and save what you can. I'd probably remove any damaged fan leaves, as well. Sorry to hear about the bugs this close to the finish line. Hope this helps. Cheers!
So I've had a deficiency starting to show.To my eyes it looks to be a calcium deficiency with maybie abit of magnesium deficiency so I watered with1 1/2 teaspoons of eggshell calcium with1/2 teaspoon per litre of Epsom salts. Should I continue to dose with this every week or not?
I'd wager if you looked at the labels, hopefully guarnateed analysis labels, you'd find plenty of calcium is provided. If not, it does look like a calcium deficiency.
Look to have quite a few things added for ferts. This is more likely lockout than anything else. If yo know your mix is mild, maybe try a little more runoff when fertilizing. stick to a good wet-dry cycle.
Other thing to check before fiddling with mixture is pH. Soil should be slightly acidic. Closer to ~7 will help with calcium uptake... if you are hanging out at 6 or below, this could also be a cause of what you see...
Week four was smooth sailing! The stems started bending over so I raised the scrog up! I've also purchased a pH pen so I can pH correct the water to fix the calcium lockout. Currently all water is going in at 6.7 pH but I will be moving to 6.5ph next week. Buds are swelling nicely, my favourite being the purple punch. It's smelling really fruity!! No Amber hairs to be seen yet so I may let this round go 9 weeks. On another note the dehumidifier I bought isn't doing that great a job but rh is staying below 50% so its acceptable. Next round I'll only be doing 3 plants maybie 2 depending on size of the strains. Check my other grow journal for those updates! Any tips are welcomed. Happy growing! 💥💯✌️

Deffo had some lockout issues mid flower that probably reduced yeild. Next round I'll be ph'ing from the start to try and avoid this. I'll also as dolomitic lime to buffer ph. Smells are getting stronger when plants are disturbed. My guess is there is another 3-4 weeks left to go so I'll be flushing in 2-3 weeks.

Learnt some hard lessons this round! Next time I'm adding dolomitic lime to buffer soil aswell as always pHing from now on! Other than the lockout mid flower and slightly smaller buds as a result I'm happy with my first attempt at a actual tent grow. The buds look dense and frosty and under a scope a few are starting to turn cloudy. Next round is gonna be only three as I'm not comfortable with it being so cramped! I reckon I'll let her go another week with feed the I'll do a two week water only flush!
Happy growing to all ✌️
