Soil is Bio-Bizz ALL-MIX with 2,5L of extra perlite, 300ml of Plagron Mega Worm and 25g of RQS Easy Boost. I have high hopes for this one, I hope she germs well!
Germination day 0 and 1: I did it 12h on water and then directly into soil.
Day 2: I´ve put a little zip bag on top of the soil in order to keep the humidity high.
Day 3: I can see a little something coming out of the ground but still not sprouted.
I have high hopes for this one, I really liked the strain info and I want to see how I deal with FastBuds strains. Let´s go!
D1: Sprouted and healthy!
D3: Growing slowly but steady.
She ended the week looking real good and healthy, I think she´ll be a nice plant, she doesn´t seem to have any kind of pheno weakness.
D8: Looking really good, soon enough I´ll be topping her to start mainlining!
D11: She´s getting quite big already. Preparing myself psychologically to top her, hopefully everything goes as expected.
D13: So, big day today. I topped a plant for the first time, let´s see how it goes! I removed the 4th node up and the 1st one as well. Watered with 1.25L of 6.2 pH water with 3ml of Root-Juice and 2ml of Bio-Heaven. Next week I´ll take out the Root-Juice and start with Fish-Mix as well as Bio-Heaven. I also bought the rubbered wires to do LST with less stress to the plants. Big hopes for this beauty!
D14: Well, it seems like she didn´t even notice the topping. I mean, she didn´t stress too much, you can see she didn´t grow much but she´s grown and is looking incredibly healthy. Also, I watered her a little with 6.5pH water in order to raise up a possible acid ph problem that has shown up in two leaves.
Hi!
That is just some random weed but not cannabis so just pluck it out. You don't want anymore plants taking the nutes of your plant. OFC plant that small wont bring muvh danger to your grow but still unwanted.
She is now on day 16.
It showed up today when I watered with 1ml of calmag, 0.5ml of fish-mix and 1ml of bio-heaven.
Any info or advices would be great, thanks!
I don't understand why everyone in the US is so obsessed with cal/mag? It is only needed in slightly higher quantities during flowering. Any decent "grow" nutrient will have more than enough cal/mag in it to be adequate for all stages of vegetative growth. Your leaves are showing signs of being burnt by too much fertilizer, also maybe burning caused by getting the leaves wet while the light was still on. These plants are still very young and the nutrient requirements, plus what is in the "soil" already, means very little fertilizer is needed at the moment. I would only be giving them, at this size, perhaps one dose of quarter strength fertilizer once a week. Once they have become truly established with branches and a height of 14-18 inches, only then would I consider feeding more often. I have found it is better to give weaker feedings of nutrients more often, rather than strong doses all at once. By this I mean, rather than give a weeks worth of feeding in one go, give your plants four feedings of quarter strength, over 10-14 days, depending on size and soil conditions/health. This way there is much less chance of overfeeding and burning the leaves or making the soil toxic. You wouldn't give a toddler a T-Bone steak and it is much the same with young plants, gentle feeding often and not feasts all at once.
Hope this helps.... Organoman.
D16: Watered 0.4L with 1ml/L of calmag, 0.5ml/L of Fish-Mix and 1ml/L of Bio-Heaven at 6.2ph
D17: Well, bad news: I think I fucked up.
She has all four fan leaves burnt in the tips and edges and some random burnt spots, probably because I watered her with nutrients too early and too heavy..
D18: Rearrenged LST. Things are still getting worse.
D19: Today I accidentally broke a leaf and took the 1st nodes of each branch out since I don´t think they were gonna get enough light to get big. Also took a leaf out to see if the toxicity proceeds to next leaf faster – just being curious -. Rearrenged LST.
D20: Mantained LST.
D21: So, today I´ll be out traveling for 5 days and I´ll let a friend of mine keeping an eye on her.
Pretty rough week but she´s in good shape taking in consideration the nutrient overload I did to her.
D25: Today I came back from the vacation. Noticed one of the topped stems a little broken, but then noticed that it broke when I was away and then healed by itself, although the stem is noticeable shorter.
D26: Noticed tiny pistils! Rearrenged LST and didn´t water yet, it stills need to dry up some more.
D27: Did some defoliation in order to maintain a good airflow to prevent thrips – I found one today and one yesterday which is bad – and open up some budsites. Did a lot of LST to distribute evenly the budsites. No watering yet.
D28: Mantained LST. It´s been 13 days since the last day I watered her and I´m perplexed that she has not shown any signs of under or overwatering. Otherwise she´s growing beautifully!
D29: She´s getting big and the soil is almost dry, tomorrow I´ll start watering her properly with nutrients.
D30: Took out some leaves, removed tiny nodes that weren´t going to get a decent size and watered 2.5L of water at 6.2 ph with 1ml/L of Fish-Mix and 1ml/L of Bio-Heaven.
D32: Did some defoliation, rearranged a lot of the LST and took out some nodes that I dind´t wanted to grow in order to keep the mainlining.
D35: Some of her leaves got really ugly today and I don´t know what it is, I´ll look into it. She already have some pretty decent pistils showing.
It happened from day to night, the watering with Fish-Mix and Bio-Heaven was made days ago.
Otherwise, I haven´t feed her any bloom nutes yet.
Peace ✌️
There are generally three reasons for the dying off of your plants’ leaves: a pH imbalance, too much or too little water for your plants, or nutrient deficiencies and toxicities.
Start with checking the pH of your runoff. Always best to start there then diagnose further. 🤘😤
D36: Today I did lots and lots of LST. It was totally worth tho, she is soooo low I´m even worried if she´s going to be able to support herself up. Took out some little nodes too.
D37: Watered 1,4L at 6.5 ph with 0,4ml of Bio-Grow, 1ml of Bio-Bloom and 1ml of Bio-Heaven to solve the Phosporous deficiency shown. With higher pH and bloom nuter, hopefully she´ll start blooming as she should´ve started already. Also took out the almost dead leaves. Runoff is at 5.9 ph, that might be the P deficiency reason but the nutes were also to try to force her to start blooming.
D38: She´s looking good! Pistils are showing up a little more, might start flowering soon. The deficiency seems to be solved!
D40: Some weird dark spots appeared in two leaves, it doesn´t seem like any deficiency, more like pests or cold, maybe? Defoliated her to prep for flowering, and then I´ll do another defoliation right before the end of pre-flowering. Also took out some nodes that weren´t getting any big. Bud structure is starting to form tho, finally, she´s in flowering!
D41: Some weird stuff has started showing up and quick. It seems like calcium deficiency, but it could be ph levels, Phosporous or rust. It seems more like ph/cal so I watered with 0.25ml/L of cal-mag, 1ml of Bio-Heaven, 5g of Diatomaceous Earth (to resolve/slow the possible fungus), 1ml of Bio-Bloom and 0.5ml of Top-Max.. Raised her up a little as I think she was too far from the light, if it is too close and she starts showing stress signs I´ll take her as she was before.
D42: She´s starting to form buds but she is waaay delayed and apparently all the stuff that was going on was actually a nutrient lockdown, the only other possible reason is rust… tomorrow I´ll flush her and see if it solves something.
D43: I couldn´t diagnose in the last few days the deficiencies that showed up. Yesterday a friend told me it probably was a nutrient lockout and it made complete sense, so I flushed her today with 3L of 6.5 which made to a little run off and then watered with 6.4 (I was lazy to get it to 6.5) to 20% runoff. The runoff was at 5.8 ph. After a few hours she is now happy and looking waaaaaaaay better!!
D44: Watched her closely and I´m not sure she developed more or not. At first I thought she had gotten worse, but in the end, me and my girlfriend agreed that at 1AM she was just like the picture I took at 5PM. Tomorrow I´ll confirm if she got worse or not.
D45: The brown marks seem to have stopped spreading! Tomorrow I´ll confirm if it has gotten worse and if so, it´s rust fungus then.
D46: Watered her untill 10% runoff with 1/10th of the Bio-Bizz recommended dosage, except for Bio-Heaven that was 1/4th: in 3,5L of water, 0.2ml/L of Bio-Grow, 0.2ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 0.1ml/L of Top-Max and 0.5ml/L of Bio-Heaven. Let´s see if this stops the marks and the light greenness. I´ll stop using the ATA Cal-Mag since it has 5.8% Nitrogen, which completely breaks the Bio-Bizz line balance. I´ll start experimenting with low dosages of the recommended schedule, since it has all the macro and micro-nutrients she needs.
D47: She is looking a lot greener!! Jah blessed!! Now I´ll still keep an eye on her for a while. Buds are getting bigger and thricomes are starting to appear on leaves as well. Today arrived my new oscilating fan and another exhaust fan to intake air so I can close the passive intakes.
D49: She is getting bigger fast, with praying leaves every day! The deficiencies have stopped, another one showed up tho. Nothing to worry about, I would flush her but she has the soil saturated for too long and I´ll just wait until she consumes what´s in the soil while I water without any more nutrients.
Day 50
Leaves are still getting a little worse, but I won´t risk overwatering her at this point. She´ll probably start drinking a lot more soon and then I´ll water her with regular phd water.
Day 51
Leaves don´t seem to have gotten much worse, but she´s not good yet.
Day 52
She has praying leaves every single day even with all that she suffered from me.. And now she´s folding leaves cause I lowered the lights a bit too much. I don´t know if she loves me, but I love her.
Day 53
Today I lowered her to see if the light stress reduces. She keeps growing insanely anyways. Her leaves are getting a little worse but finally the soil is drying up, I´ll flush and then water tomorrow probably.
Day 54
She didn´t got much worse. I still won´t water her, I´ll let the soil dry off to make sure the roots breath and don´t get overwatered. As soon as the soil is dry I expect to flush her and then water with proper nutrients at a low concentration. I think the problem might be related to cold temperatures, either on roots or at the lights off period, maybe both.
Day 55
Happy new year!
Day 56
Well, she is just getting worse day by day now and I can´t find the reason of it all. As a last resource I switched the lights to 24/0 to solve the sudden temperature drop of 25 C° to 14 C° in 30 minutes or less… Tomorrow I´ll get the Alg-a-mic from BioBizz with a friend of mine as it is supposedly to rescue a messed plant, which is the case unfortunately, so I am going to properly flush her and then feed with a low dosage of nutrients.
D57
Flushed her and then watered 6.2 pH water, with 0.7ml/L of Alg-a-Mic and 0.33ml/L of Bio-Bloom and 0.33ml/L of Bio-Grow until runoff. Let´s see if it helps her get well… Defoliated all the dead/dying leaves and the ones that were getting no light. She seems to not have stressed with the light schedule change.
D58
If she got worse, it was just a little. She´s looking just like before tho, which is good I guess?...
D59
She´s a LOT better, I think the most problems were solved, but she´s still getting a little worse by days. Now, all I have to do is wait and see if she gets better when the soil dries up. She´s getting FAT tho, real good looking buds!
D60
Buds are looking real good! Lots of thricome, fat and dense. Looks like the buds are even getting a little purplish! My new dehumidifier arrived! Finally, no more rot.
D61
Looking way better than before and fattening up, tho she is still developing some deficiencies. Some pistils are starting to get brown.
D62
She´s still getting a little more burnt everyday, now I´m doubting if it really is lockout or just a true deficiency…
D63
Yeah I know she´s not looking good, bud man the buds are getting gooooood.. Soil got drier, not completely, but I´ll be watering her with bloom nutrients and sensizym, with runoff. Hopefully this will help her, if it doesn´t, it´s flush and wait for harvest… Watered with 1ml/L of Sensizym, 1.5ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 0,5ml/L of Bio-Grow and 1ml/L of Top-Max. Also rearranged a little bit of LST, I´ve put the little branches more to the sides, giving the plant more airflow.
D64
She seems to be better, the brown marks seem to have slowed a great deal. Checked her trhicomes and they´re 90% cloudy with 10% clear ( even on bottom buds! ), I guess harvest is coming way sooner than I expected!
D65
Her thricomes are looking close to harvest, about 90% cloudy, 9% crystal and 1% amber. I´m planning on chopping her in a few days…
D66
Yeah, she´s maturing more and more each day, by my calculations, tomorrow or the other day I´ll be harvesting her!
D67
Today was her final one, thricomes were looking about the same, 90% cloudy with a little more amber, so I decided to chop her. I could´ve let her run longer but the thricomes were just were I like my sativa dominants.
Keep following for the harvest week with the smoke and grow report.
Thank you so much for reading my diary! Peace ✌️
