White Widow Auto

RE: my question, Thanks very much for the helpful replies everyone! :) I guess I did indeed overdo it a bit with nutrients despite my caution. (At first I thought they were actually underfed due to corkscrewy/pale new growth) And at the beginning of week 5 I gave around 550-600 ppm (including the 200ppm water) because those plants were growing so fast. Thankfully, it is mostly yellowing rather than necrosis. (my tap water is 200-230 ppm (~0.4 EC), so that's a bit less than 400ppm (0.8 EC) of added nutrient. I always water the soil thoroughly until I see some runoff, and wait until the soil is very dry for the next watering) Today the pots were "basically" flushed with 0.6EC (super small dose of NPK). I decided that was a stupid idea and just threw a lot of regular PH'd tapwater on top of it. I measured runoff at 220ppm. Unfortunately I did not test the initial runoff, but at least what came out in the end came out as clean as my tap water. :) I'll proceed with the tips, give them some clean water for now and see how they will do 👍 Overall I am not very worried because they seem to be developing pretty well 😊

Hey there you mentioned that the plants were still wet the next morning, do you have a small fan running in the night? The last thing you want is lay around water during flowering, the rot may come. If your fan is set to tje same timer as your lights...maybe change that so they have a slight wind.

Hay nice girl looks like its about to Start getting fat

Hey so if this is your 1st grow and an auto you've done amazing so far! I'm sure you know that the autos are great in many ways but picky in others, like overdosing nutes. I see plagron is in your line up, they carry a couple products pure-zyme and green sensation that at low doses would maybe help out your plant with some of those micro level elements that help with abuse stress and disease. If you look at plagrons site I'm sure they have a feeding schedule recommendation. I hope she continues to do well and gets nice and bulky.

Hi mate what an awesome first grow . I've been looking at your other grows and you grow some really good looking bud, they look lovely and dense! The pineapple chunk looks insane

Hey man I'm about to start my first grow I hope it goes half as good as yours, I got some autos off seedsman should be here in a couple days, after u get it all dry let us know what your yeild was

Tried to take some trichome pictures. What do you guys think? 😊 I am not even good at judging milkiness of dried weed's trichomes. Next time I will have a look in daylight instead of the CFL

Thanks again to everyone for the thoughtful answers to my question. I really wish I could choose multiple best answers. These tips and experiences will be valuable in the next grow! :) In the last week the plants were just given water. I let the soil dry out thoroughly, as usual. I noticed that the old leaves started to show classic signs of phosphorous deficiency, as well as some N deficiency. (Yellowing leaves and falling off) I intentionally did not defoliate aggressively to be able to diagnose problems and see what the plants do with the leaves in general. I was very happy to see these deficiencies because I can now see the effects of the nutrients when the plants actually need them. These are also the first nutrient related issues that have been simple to diagnose. I am pretty sure I have diagnosed the leaf purpling correctly (relatively large temperature differences). It is of course unfortunate that some purpling has occurred in this early stage of flowering (I assume green leaves photosynthesize better). I raised the lamp a little higher, but it's at its maximum height now. The plants grew unexpectedly tall. 😊 Still no worries for me... it is fun seeing them grow and learning. They are budding every day
