Day 8 - Day after seed shells were removed from leaves, the first set of โ€œrealโ€ leaves emerged on all plants. Dark Devil is furthest ahead and all are responding well to the nutrients being added from Day 7. Day 10 - Dark Devil Auto is growing nicely! Fastest grower so far. Roots on plants looking white and healthy, going to increase nutrients slightly soon as Iโ€™m playing on the cautious side! Day 13 - Plants are growing well, Dark Devil is getting its third node and the nodes are starting to extend. Moved my LED to 30 inches away as i realised it was to far away. Upped nutrients to current values above too, hoping they'll start shooting up now!! Will update as the week progresses!

The Sweet Amnesia Haze on Day 13 (last photo in week 2) has crinkled leaves. Itโ€™s only itโ€™s second set of real leaves and I give it the same water I give to the other plants with the same properties. Does it look like thereโ€™s anything wrong?

Hi there! Most probably those leafs are damaged from being inside the seed shell or something. When leafs develop they are really really fragile to damage and even the slightest touch can make them wrinkled. I would give them few more days before doing anything differently

The cotyledon leaves are dying on one of my plants, but these brown spots have spread across lower leaves that were damaged by the shell. Is this natural or is it a problem Iโ€™m unaware of? Not over-watering and pH is fine. Brown spots have appeared on tips of next leaves up now!

Hello growmies out there! Doing my first grow and LST going down well, was curious a bout defoliation of all those massive fan leaves and the ones that have got the brown spots.. Can I defoliate them slowly?? Sorry to ask I just ainโ€™t sure how much stress the plants can take! ๐Ÿ˜Š

As a first time autoflower grower... ...i'm gonna go with no. But... If you really must do it apply different methods of defoliation on each of those, this way you can learn what happens when you removed X leaf, and what happens with Y leaf, and what happens with removal of X and Z leaves... i think u got the point by now. But i wouldn't do any defoliation if i was in ur shoes. (Don't belive me? Read it from the pro's) https://2fast4buds.com/news/Is-it-safe-to-defoliate-autoflowering-cannabis

Iโ€™ve just read that you have to add calmag before the micros. I wasnโ€™t aware of this specific order. My plants have been struggling, is there a chance that because Iโ€™ve been adding calmag as the last before pH, this is the cause of my issues?? What other problems can this cause?

GMSgrowsanswered grow question 4 years ago
I would say your ph of your medium is out of whack. Check your runoff ph and ec levels, flora series has cal/mg so when you add to your medium if your in coco you only add 100 to 150 ppm 0.2 to 0.3 ec once every week or two.. and only if you see a deficiency. If you add cal/mg take away that amount from your other nutes so your total ec remains the same. Right now you should be 5.5 to 5.9 ph in the coco and ec should be 1.2 to 1.4 ec 600 to 700 ppm. Cheers

Hello everyone, Iโ€™ve been an idiot and not buffered my coco prior to growth and this could potentially explain the problems Iโ€™ve been having I believe?? Can someone advise if this is the case and what I can do from here. Can I flush with calmag to fix it??? Or am I totally screwd

No you are defintly not screwed. Your plants look fine, hence you still have time to correct the issue. Get a good Calmag supplement, preferably low in N, so it wont change your nutrients ratio too much. Maybe run one fertigation with only Calmag added to the water (and pH corrector if nessercary). Just add as much Calmag as possible to get your current target EC. From there on, just add the Calmag to your regular feeding mix, at least at 50% of the recommended dose. You might have to reduce the amount of other nutrients to maintain acceptable EC. Good luck!

Hey I also use the GHE chart and I have found it works great. I do go a little above the chart as I add purpinator to my water/nutes starting week 5 of growth at 2ml and then all the way up to 20ml(4L) for week 11. Happy growing

My Sweet Amnesia Haze XL has struggled, mainly due to my rough skills. Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced autos taking 5 weeks to flower? My plant still has no preflowers but has started growing again since it was stunted. Could I have delayed it?

DrGanjanswered grow question 4 years ago
If this has been delayed and is an auto, it probably wont reach full maturity now as the lifecycle is preset from the seed. It could also be the sativa genetics. I've heard some phenos of Amnesia can take a whopping 20 weeks from seed to harvest! That's an obscene time for an auto so it could just be that otherwise or a combination of both. Hope this helps

Hey everyone, hope youโ€™re all safe! Following the GHE feed hart on their website and itโ€™s working wonders for my plants, however I was wanting to know when I should increase the bloom nutes? It says to up them in โ€œmid bloomโ€, but when exactly is that?

Check the flower time for the strain you are growing. If it says 8 weeks, then 4 weeks after flowering started would be mid bloom. Happy growing.

Hey everyone, itโ€™s been 11 days now since I noticed a Nitrogen toxicity, and I adjusted feed to 650ppm and notes in ratios according to GHE feedchart (numbers in diary). Just wanted to ask if you all thought they still look like they need less Nitrogen? I could reduce calmag?

NobodysBudsanswered grow question 4 years ago
GHE is a multipart system? which has the highest N total? ensure it also isn't the portion with the trace elements and other smaller bits. Reduce that portion of the formula mix. This will reduce N will maintaining other levels as best you can. Calculate your PPMs .. is cal-mag necessary? Magnesium can cause very dark green leaves too in high concentrations. It very well may be, and if you did this investigation when you picked it out, you can ignore me... but if it is used just because others seem to use it alot, do a little background work and see if it is actually needed or not.

Hi there! One factor when estimating yield is the power of the light. With leds 1g/w is easily achievable and even 2g/w is possible. So with plants that size and 190W light, my estimation is somewhere between 200-300g's They are looking happy!

Mosherd7answered grow question 4 years ago
Phosphorus deficiency. Darker green leaves, purpling of stems, turning glossy or shiny. Usually when buds forming and getting bigger and Phosphorus gets pulled from the fan leaves. If not fixed, next step you will see will be pretty soon and those tiny brown spots are gonna take over quickly and turn leaves brown and crispy. Id add more florabloom to your feeding schedule. Or if you are already at a high dose. Spread the nutrients over into the next feeding that you normally do just water. Also, you do seem to have a bit of nitrogen toxicity. The claw doesnt stay that bad for weeks once the issue is fixed. Id dial your added Cal/Mag back a bit, as your FloraMicro has calcium, magnesium, and nitrogen already. Looks good though. Easily fixed.

You are cal mag deficient If all your numbers are in check as you say. Coco coir is a great substance to grow in beside the fact it absorbs cal mag really bad. I have about a 30 percent in my pots but after base nutrition amounts, I add 1 to 1.5 ml to a liter extra cal mag to compensate. I think I am still on lower side honestly. Good luck and happy growing. Enjoy the buds, look tasty. ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ‘Š

You are killing it my man. Always be open to learning and advice, and quit being so hard on yourself lol ;) This community is great for that. Either way, keep it up. You clearly have a niche for this if you are this successful during your first grow. You've picked some great genes! My one piece of advice is start to study the curing process. That process is just as important as the growing process itself. Happy growing!

@MrGreenMan, Of course! I am on here frequently if you ever need advice, although Im no expert. And do not forget, curing starts the second you chop your plants! So the environment they dry in is super important! I aim to keep it between 60-70F and 40-50% RH. I am currently hang-drying a Pineapple Express! I average about 7 days before they are dry enough to trim and jar.
