Day 14 - 1/4 suggested dosage for week 2 Nectar For The Gods sample pack nutrients. Still overdid it a bit, and two of the plants suffered from light nutrient burn 2 days later. I also may have overwatered a little bit, as one of the plants had drooping leaves. I cut back on the watering and raised the height of the LEDs.
Day 15 - topped all the plants, cut off some fan leaves and prepared some stakes to LST.
I missed a few days of watering so the plants look a little droopy, but given that this is my first grow, how is the general health of the plants? How is the flowering going so far?
My plants have had a slight droop both from over watering and Underwatering. When they were under watered they typically perked up fairly quickly after a good soak, also my leaves would feel a bit dry too. Where as when over, they felt full and heavy. You mentioned trimming lower area to boost the light penetration, I think many people would also recommend trimming just a few upper fan leaves if they were blocking your bud sites.
They do look a little droopy and tired, I see you're at 24 hrs light, perhaps giving them a 4 hour dark period would give them a bit of rest and relaxation to recooperate. Also you're only 5 weeks in so there's much time left for them to really bulk up and fill in.
I really hope they turn out well for you. Happy growing.
plants were looking a little droopy last week, starting to water more which picked them back up. doing 1/4 nectar nutes every other day now and we'll see how that goes.
watering every 4 days now, about 2.5 liters per plant.
Stopping the nutes any day now and counting down about 2 weeks to harvest.
probably going to flush about a week before harvest.
one of the GG plants is turning red/purple color. not sure if that's a nute deficiency but it's been getting the same feed as the others.
chopped them at day 81. did a very rough wet trim and put them in paper grocery bags.
wet weight:
4 gorilla glue plants = 13 oz
1 auto pounder plant = 4 oz
trim/leaves = 3 oz
This was my first grow.
Today I pulled the buds out of the paper bags, trimmed it as needed and cut the buds off the stems.
The total dry weight for 4 Gorilla Glue Auto plants was 4.02oz, so my weight-to-dry yield was 30%. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.
Again, this was my first grow. I selected a few guides at random online and did my best to adapt them to my setup. I definitely had the light too close/strong at some points, and I didn't put enough soil in each pot initially. Over time as I watered the soil compacted and there were several inches of fabric pot left that I could have used more effectively.
I also made the common mistake of overwatering. Towards the end of the grow I really figured out the watering, so hopefully that won't be too much of an issue.
Over the entire grow I monitored soil conditions using a Kumo Sensor (wireless sensor tag). That chart is interesting to see and I've attached it to this post.
This was my first grow. I had one Auto Pounder plant going and four Gorilla Glue plants.
I made an early mistake while topping the plant and lost one of the main colas. If I was more careful I could have taped it up, but I'm a newb and screwed around with it until it fell off. Oops.
Like I mentioned on the other plant post, I had the light too close at one point and I should have put more soil in the fabric pot. That said, this plant is a thick beast and I would love the chance to give it a try with the learnings from my first grow.
Soil conditions were monitored throughout the grow using a Kumo Sensor system (wireless sensor tags). I'll attach a picture of the event log.
I took one of the smaller dried nugs and tried it out. It's already very potent and smells great. Can't wait to try it out after a month or two in the jar.
Hey I just wanted to say how much I love that 2nd photo in this weeks diary. What amazing colors its putting out, gorgeous. I know you mention nutes; but it may just be a strain that has some really beautiful coloring.
This is my first grow. I'm doing 5 seeds from Auto Seeds in a 3' x 3' tent.
I'm roughly following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/Autoflowers/comments/20b591/a_simple_guide_to_growing_autoflowers_in_soil/
I started by germinating the seeds in a wet paper towel for 48 hours in a warm, dark place. I transferred the germinated seeds into a rapid rooter plugs, and planted those directly into the fabric pots with a BioBizz Light./perlite mix.
It's day 3 since putting the seedlings into the soil. See the pics and let me know what you think.
