First ever grow attempt

@Polaskis, thank you very much brother 👊

@Syrunz, yeah you were right brother. I think my co2 levels were dropping to 8-900ppm, the plants couldn't handle the 30+ Celsius heat and light intensity without the extra co2

@Ganjafarmer070, man, being patient is hard sometimes. Can't imagine waiting on Photoperiods to grow

@GuerrillaNo_4, mitcoco kenne ich mich leider nicht aus ich growe auf erde

@Indica_Jones, Ahh yes I see what you mean, the Northern lights variety is growing very well, the Purple Hulk was definitely having some issues. I think my PH was down around 5.5 last week, I had noticed the leaf margins but not the red stems. So you are probably right. I also use Autopots and the line on the Purple Hulk got kinked. The medium was drying out by the time I noticed. It was obviously one of those issues, or both possibly. The new growths seem fine at 6.1, should I leave it or push it up to 6.5?

@GuerrillaNo_4, aaah tut mir leid hab mich grade über deine Sorten Schlau gemacht die Sorte mit den drei Blättern ist Wohl die Nothern Light.... die schaut tatsächlich so aus alles gut guter Grow :) und tschuldigung man lernt eben nie aus

@MrHightimes, thanks man, I appreciate it. Hope to grow something like that frosty Gorilla Cookies you got, might have to get some seeds.

@GuerrillaNo_4, I honeslty have no idea!!!! i'm dealing with space issues myself... i keep expanding lol I wouldnt worry about it being detrimental to the plants. Just watch how this grow goes and adjust for the next one! either way its gonna be AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@MrHightimes, Who'd have known, last thing I expected was space issues with just 2 autoflowers. Do you reckon it will be much of a problem? Or will it just limit my yield a bit?

@GuerrillaNo_4, still decent 😄🌱

@@MemphistoOne, ohh it wasn't that much for this grow, overdried them. It was only around 50 or so g's.

@GuerrillaNo_4, ooo nice! I'm doing Meph next too! its a grow off :P

@MrHightimes, thanks buddy. I actually do really appreciate it. I put a lot of work in and its just nice when someone notices. You know what I mean? You should see me rough work pad, like a mad scientists journal 🤣 You're right about the lights too I think. Just upgraded my lights and genetics for the next run now that I have my environmentals stable. Mephisto/MarsHydro SP3000 this run my friend 😉

@MrHightimes, Thanks bro, another couple of weeks for the Qookies, I'll be watching!

@Syrunz, Thank you brother

@Vincenzo, thank you brother. Suffered a bit of heat stress but I'll learn for the next grow 😉

@JoeyGonz, Cheers buddy. A few hiccups but so far so good

@MrHightimes, ahh I think I'll limit defoliation as much as possible, I just push some down and out of the way. I have a high enough DLI, I imagine they need the leaves to photosynthesize the light.

@MrHightimes, ohh shit man, sorry. Don't know how I missed this comment, I must have only seen your other one. Thanks man, I wouldn't call myself a scientist or nothing, but I did do a science based masters at one stage. That kinda helped a little bit lol.

@GuerrillaNo_4, you bet! Thanks! :)

@Festerus, 😂 thanks man, and best of luck with the OG ✊

@GuerrillaNo_4, oh I highly doubt that! Give yourself more credit than that lol 😆

@lateKdF, Ahh I see what you mean, and I agree. Pruning the under grow and removing damaged leaves, is fair enough. But defoliating active fan leaves in upper canopy doesn't make sense to me, especially in an autoflower with a limited lifecycle. I could be wrong, I am only a beginner. But am I wrong in assuming that the buds require the fan leaves to photosynthesize the light efficiently, so they can gain that energy to grow. I'm open to trying it out though, but I'd need evidence that it would increase yield or quality before I would go cutting away the plants healthy means of production. I haven't seen any yet.

@GuerrillaNo_4, Indulge me: plants have a finite amount of energy. Early stage focuses on growth that will poise the plant for it's ultimate goal; procreation. As the plant shifts into the flower stage, it's primary goal is to stretch and get the female vagina flower parts in prime position to get impregnated with male pollen. You'll notice allot of grows with bare naked lower parts of the plant, stripped by the gardener to focus as much of the plants energy as possible into flower production. At this point, too many leaves can become a liability. It's about flower development, NOT growth, per se. Additionally, my friend, you want as much open space within the canopy interior to maximize gas exchange, and minimize chances for mold and pests.

@lateKdF, Why? Do I not want the leaves to photosynthesize the light?

@GuerrillaNo_4,thanks so much man 👌😎

@Lukush, will do buddy! Thanks for the kind words too.

@GuerrillaNo_4, Welcome to the website :O)

@420TouristguideDWC, its my first grow. I only realised this site existed since week 4 or 5!
