Carrascovsky This is my first grow ever. I am starting with the BSF Auto Moby-D XXL, hope it’s a good choice for beginners. This is day 8 since I placed them in the medium, and I am getting kinda worried since other people growing the same strain have way bigger plants on day 8. Let’s see what happens.

Carrascovsky The plants are growing healthy, although I still think the growth is kinda slow. This was week 2 after they sprouted, plant #1 has 4cm and plant #2 has 3cm. I was able to keep the temperature between 22°C and 26°C, and for now I am just watering with 6,5 ph water.

Carrascovsky The plants are entering the 4th week so I decided to start with the nutrients. I still think growth is kinda slow, but I’m only giving them 1/4 of what is indicated by the nutrient company, specially because these are autos. I made some pest prevention last week by adding those yellow traps and watering once with Neen Oil. Hopefully real growth will start this week, can’t wait to start with LST.

Carrascovskystarted grow question 4y ago
Can anyone advise me on when should I start with LST? What’s the right size? My plants have 6cm and 7cm right now, and I want them on a bushier format since I don’t have a lot of room, can any more experienced grower help me?

i'd give it another week, that stem looks pretty small still. I like to wait until I have about 5 sets of leaves before I LST. Each strain is a little different, so you have to just go with the flow. Happy growing.

Carrascovsky This was a cold week and since my grow tent stays on the outside it’s more affected by the weather, so the plants didn’t develop as they could have. But I am happy because I didn’t have any issues with pests, and also because they haven’t show any signs of deficiencies.

Carrascovsky This week they started showing calmag deficiency signs, so I immediately fixed the issue by adding it to the watering solution with the other nutrients. I also started the LST since they have reached 15cm... Pistils are starting to appear, and apparently we are at the point where the actual growth begins.

My plants are starting to show pistils. I wanna know if I should start using the flowering nutrients already, and also if I can keep going with the LST. Thanks in advance.

Hi! They are already in flowering stage and this would probably be the first week. You can change to flowering nutes gradually by giving ½veg and ½flowering nutes the first two weeks and then change to full flowering nutes after the stretch is over and the plant is focusing on bud developement. Your girls still need nitrogen during the stretch so thats why you don't want to switch to flowerting nutes right away. What comes to LST, it depends what you want. I suggest that you slightly bend the highest colas to the level of the others and try to maintain even canopy to get as much horizontal space used as possible and focus on having one layer of tops rather than few donkey dicks. Even better if you can get the colas on the edges to grow little bit higher than the ones right under the lamp, to get even better light distribution

Carrascovsky They are well into flowering now. I bought a dehumidifier to keep the humidity at 50% and it’s working perfectly. I also started adding the flowering nutrient in the watering solution. The plants are showing some deficiencies signs, hopefully I’ll find an answer here.

Hi guys. I need help. My plants are showing some brow spots and yellowing leaves, both symptoms are showing on the older leaves. I am only adding nutrients on every other watering, so I don’t think it’s overfert, can anyone help me to identify the issue?

Hello, it could be a nitrogen deficiency, Try to have a look at the link growdiaries.com/journal/cannabis-nutrient-deficiencies-guide or here https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems / nitrogen-deficiency. If you are fertilizing but don't notice any differences, start by checking the ph of the wastewater, maybe it's out of bounds :)

Carrascovsky My plants have been showing deficiency signs that I was not able to identify with 100% of accuracy... Some say it’s overfert some say they are underfed. Plant number #2 seems to be suffering with the deficiency, since it’s growth has been slowed down a lot. I flushed them and now will start adding the nutrients again. Hopefully I can get them back on track for their development.

Carrascovsky They have a few more weeks to go, and at this point I am not that worried about the leaves anymore, although I think it’s too early for them to be losing color like that. I just hope the buds keep developing well for at least 3 more weeks so it gives me a decent yield. If anyone have any thought or advices let me know in the comments please.

Carrascovsky This week the buds developed a little, but it doesn’t seem like they are going to grow more than that. This is the 10th week and according to seed bank this strain takes 12 weeks from seed to harvest. I think I will keep feeding them for another 2 weeks and then flush them on the 13th week.

1/2 weeks on the #1 2/3 on the #2 (Its an opinion, not facts) These are my estimates for a balanced cristal ratio of white to amber. The more amber it has the more sedative the high, the more milky it has, the more active the high. Stay lit growmie.

Maybe this was due to mistakes I made when growing it, but I was hopping for a stronger effect. I think the plants didn’t develop as many trichomes as I was expecting. Hopefully I can improve that on the next strains I will grow.

Carrascovsky Well, 2 plants harvested 21g total dry weight, not even close to what I was expecting. But considering that this was my first grow ever it’s alright, specially because I lost my biggest cola due to mold. I think at least I got some quality stuff, can’t wait to grow other strains.

Hey buddy. From the looks of your images from week 10, I'd say the plants had 2-3 more weeks to go. Did you end up waiting that time before the big chop? If not, this might be the cause for the low resin result and potency. Also, it is generally advisable to give 48 hours of darkness to the plant b4 chopping (even more trichomes!). Just my 2 cents. Happy growing!

Carrascovskycommented4y ago
@SamTheLamb, Yeah I did wait 2 weeks after those last pictures actually, but they didn’t get any better tbh. 30% of trichomes were amber so I decided to chop them. I am happy with the results tho, and eager to improve my technique on my next grow. Thanks for the feedback mate!
