Week 11 Day 5
Not much to say this week, just been keeping an eye on things and waiting for those pistils to start browning....which....they have pretty much done. We're not quite at 90% yet and I could do with a few more milky trichs...but we are close. Today I feel was the last feed and next time will be just clean water for a mini flush. Not sure I've got long enough for a full two weeks. And also, as I am finding with many things pertaining to cannabis and horticulture there is little in the way of consensus on this topic. Ima middle through and find my own way on this subject.
Was able to do a tiny bit more LST to get some light around some more colas. It's quite congested in there. But it worked, may have got myself 5 or 6 extra spliffs worth of bud so I'm happy.
Currently debating whether to do my dry in the tent or go cardboard box and set up my next grow immediately. The box route has got to be stinky, right?
Big up, everyone.

Hello, thanks for stopping by and I hope you are well. The weeks are ticking by here on Plague Island. But hope lives here in the love tent and planty is a daily source of joy and wonder.
Last week I was on cruise control. A little bit of defol here and there. Medium to high strength feed, a tiny bit of LST, some general tent hygiene, lots of shifting of the pot and my non oscillating oscillating fan, raised the light again after spotting some heat/light leaf curling issues on the top cola, a lot of trichome inspecting and pondering....how long now???
Actually, I'm probably more excited about starting the next grow than harvesting this one. Wait...that's not right... I definitely want to chop this one soon. But when, dear friends? Is there more in store? We have about 15,16 well formed mini colas here. The smaller ones are about 4 inches, the taller ones 6 or 7. I'm very happy. How much more will they bulk out now. Fairly even split of milky and clear artichokes (um....trichomes!) though. A handful of amber ones.... I'm gonna keep going another week. To flush or not to flush? ... can you even flush with pure RO?
Fed tonight. Will check again in the AM and review.

Grow Questions
TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 4 years ago
Is it time to top? I feel like I need a little bit more stretching first. Maybe even allow another node to develop? When should I top in relation to feeding/watering and lights out?

Wait another week. Top only if your plant looks healthy. If not then you can just LST without topping. Good luck.
TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 4 years ago
Thanks for reading. Currently watering/feeding 0.5l every 24 hours. Routinely. Light mix is pretty much dry by the time it comes to the next feed. Getting about 10 ml runoff maybe with each soak. Should I double the volume and water/feed every 48 hours instead? Does it matter? Xx

At this point you should be wetting the entire planter so your roots can spread beyond the wet areas. Water as necessary. Cheers
TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 4 years ago
Upped my nutes this week per the BioBizz Lite Mix plan...but is it too much? The tips of a few of my leaves are ever so slightly yellow with crispy looking tips. Too much? If I need to dial back, which nutrient do I dial back on specifically? Or just dial back on them all?

Seems like the start of a Nitrogen (N) burn! kinda hard to see exactly which toxicity it is by this picture but your diary gave the answer!
Leaves developing a dark green coloration while still in vigor were the clues.
Try lowering your biobizz "Fish-Mix" to about 1.5-2ml/l and the "Bio-Grow" to about the same amount to lower the Nitrogen uptake.
Also try lowering the Cal/Mag to about 0.5ml/l to avoid toxicity, it is a micro-nutrient and the plant does not need that much without showing a deficiency!
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm using a Mars Hydro Ts600. Manufacturers advice is to keep height at 12'' minimum above the canopy in flower but other growers report it can hang as low as 10''. In identifying optimum height how would I be able to tell if it was too low for my plants? What should Iook for?
Solved
Setup. Lighting
like
Stonerdanswered grow question 4 years ago
The Ts600 is only a 100W designed for a small space, if you want to check how far you can distance your lamp from the plant try lowering the lamp to as low as 8-10 inches (seems like you're in flowering so I'd try going with 8) and check you plant regularly, if she shows signs of radiation/light stress (foliage starts to fold and curl upwards starting from the top of the plant) then move the light 2 inches higher!
Also don't forget that in flowering the plant needs more light to produce fatter and denser buds!
*I started using the TS600 as extra lighting during flowering, I got it set 5 inches from my plants and they're doing completely fine! it all depends on the plant and what stage of growth she is in.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm watering with 2l of RO/nutes every 48-72 hours, depending on moisture of soil. Estimate about 10-15% of this is runoff. I notice vigorous growth almost immediately after watering but then little more until after the next feed. Is this normal or should I be soaking heavier?
Solved

Stonerdanswered grow question 4 years ago
With a 20 liter pot size I'd say go with a 3.5-4 liter nutrient rich irrigation every 2-3 days or when the top 5cm of the medium is dry!
Make sure there is at least 20-30% runoff (more wont hurt), check the runoff for pH and salinity (EC) to get a good idea of your soil fertility and acidity to quickly fix issues before any serious damage is done or to prevent them from happening.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

These big old fan leaves at the bottom of the picture (s) the ones hanging out the door of the tent....should I snip them off? How far do you go with the defoliation at this stage?
Solved
Leaves. Too many

TheBudWhispereranswered grow question 4 years ago
Firstly, this is an excellent grow to date my friend. Space is clean, and plant canopy is beautifully even. The photos are gonna dictate my answer on this question. My only advice is that you're now in week 5/6 of flower. At this point the plant won't be producing any further fan leaves so what you remove, ain't coming back. Realistically, a plant in a controlled environment shouldn't necessarily need any fan leaves - the argument being that these are nutrient storage locations and storage is not required when the plant is provided what it needs at all times. In practice however, the appropriate amount to defoliate at any time and at what frequency is very much grower preference. The plant won't necessarily suffer when you take the approach that less is more (on both counts). The real answer to your question is that it depends on you and what you're comfortable with. If it were me, I'd run back every large fan leaf on the plant, get rid of anything else in the middle that's mottled or twisted as well. Might as well do it now as these are going to have to go in like a week or two anyway to maintain appropriate airflow under the canopy into late flower. Good luck - it's truly addictive and yeah - planning that next grow is pretty the game👍

nice plant mate!. mine looks a lot like yours think she will grow the same way..
runoff ain’t that important when you use biobizz.. not like you adjust it in the first place..
but if you water in the right way, runoff indicates that all the medium is saturated.. but there is a difference when you have runoff because the soil is bone dry and water just passes trough the sides immediately
but first.. i would defoliate the hell out of that plant!! remove all those leaves laying on the pot that are giving you problems while watering..remove all palm size leaves ..trust me it will be a lot of leaves but she will be thankful :)

@c2_farms, thank you! I did some light trimming today and will see if I can summon the courage to go back for the big fan leaves in a couple of days, provided eveything else is on track. Thanks for the tips appreciate it. Xxx

@TheBonnieRobin,dont be scared, i was too when i first did it. its a normal thing to do..forget about them solar panels/food storage stuff.. in this stage its more beneficial to remove them so you can get better air flow and light penetration .. but do what makes you most comfortable ;)

@c2_farms, hey hey thanks so much for the encouragement and the advice. I'm scared of heavy defolitation this time out. Read lots of conflicting advice so I'm going to try and keep it low key with this grow and then push it a bit more on the next one. Gonna try and get two plants in the one tent so some tough love might be absolutely necessary. Great tips on the feeding and watering too. Thank you. Xx

@TheBonnieRobin, well the results speak for themselves Bonnie. Those colas look insane for a first indoor grow. They'll take a while to dry though 😂
The best thing about growing for me, is it teaches me to appreciate my mistakes as learning experiences. Now I look forward to them!

humidity likes to drop after defo but she will be fine trust me.. ;)
she will be fine regarding nutes also...
i personally follow biobizz charts (except i extended the veg week when growing autoflowers, so you have 3 weeks of veg on the schedule-recommended by guys from biobizz) and never have i had problems! the safer side is giving nutes every other watering
i would snip everything off for what you asked for, all them leaves..
every leaf that has a stem longer than 5-10 cm can go down... thats how hard you can go :D
you’ll have an easier job later when trimming
defoliation its debative but i found it useful in my garden :)
when i was learning how to grow and old man told me “throw a toothpick,if the toothpick can’t fall/pass trough from the top to bottom of the plant she aint defoliated enough “ lol

and second i wouldn’t bother too much about those nute burn tips as that happens a lot with autoflowers.. just use nutes every other watering and y’all be perfect... no need for that flushing ..
and use calmag once a week

Sieht sehr gut aus! Hast sie schön breit gemacht mit LST und ein gleichmäßiges Baldachin bekommen 👍
Ich denke, du wirst sehr viel Freude an ihr haben!
Ja, das könnte ein leichter Anfang von Nut burn sein... Trotz Organischen Dünger, möglich.
Ich würde ohnehin fishmix herausnehmen, jetzt in der Blüte. Sowie cal meg nur bei Bedarf, Anzeichen.
Ansonsten, keine Panik, sie macht das hervorragend... Nur im Auge behalten. 👍😎🌱
