I keep having some difficulties with the girls – I've lost a lot of leaves, especially on the Amnesias (they were all effected worse than the Afghans).
Mostly due to the deficiencies from the last week when the soil didn't absorb the water I gave them.
Based on the difference in growth that I mentioned last week I did chose to add a CO2 bag to the tent; although I don't have clue if it actually does anything.
To be frank I do feel as I'm in a bad place right now; the growth curve has decreased significantly; from 23 cm over 10 days in week 6-7 it now only has grown 7 cm in as many days.
Not sure what will happen in the next few days – hopefully I'll see a new growth spurt indicating that we're back on track; but unfortunately I do believe that it's more likely that they won't fully recover and keep growing slow resulting in airy buds and low yield.
Only time will tell.....
--------- UPDATE 21/2
Feels better a few days down – stil having some issues with what seems to be both deficiencies and nutrition burn at the same time.
So I decided to do a quite heavy defoliation to remove all the bad leaves; hopefully the flowers will continue to thicken up.
Will start next week with a flush to get rid of the abundance that seem to cause the nut burn.
I've tried out LST on my middle plant that is a bit larger that the others – first time doing this so it would be nice with some feedback from some veterans out there!
Next time don't tie down branches that will overlap new growth shoots, tie them so all new little growth shoots will be exposed to light and they will grow to be full sized cola.
The main stem currently shades one of the small shoots completely thus reducing the light exposure to the plant and reducing the amount of growth points you'll have!
Other than that amazing job on the LST!! seems like it was done in a very precise and gentle manner as it should be!
Good luck and happy growing :)
My 2 Afghan Pearls are seam to be suffering from either deficiency or over overfertilization; I can clearly see brighter spots on their leafs that I don't have on any of the amnesias.
They all have identical conditions – same soil, same, nutes, same tent, same all!
Any clues?
Hey Mate,
Difficult, but I wiuld go for too much nutes. The BioBizz soil is ammended for about 6 weeks? I wouldn't give any nutes until the six weeks would be over or the plant demands it, just beneficials like Humic Acid or Enzymes..
Also I would have a look at the intensity of your light. Your light is strong and 55cm would be too close with my lamps.
Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞

The girls are getting worse 😬 Only the bottom leaves seem to be impacted though.
Only thing I've done today is water them (three day since last and they were dry).
Any suggestion to what might be wrong with them?
Hi !
Je hebt ze waarschijnlijk teveel water gegeven in de voorbije weken.
Ik gebruik dezelfde plantzakken en deze houden het water lang vast.
Ik gaf 250-500ml water om de 2-3 dagen en dit was zeker voldoende.
Geef je regenwater, zet dit dan op voorhand in het donker, zodat er zich niets kan ontwikkelen in de flessen.
Ik zou je aanraden om die algen weg te scheppen en wat aan te vullen met verse grond.
Door de algen kunnen je planten minder voeding opnemen en is er minder zuurstof beschikbaar.
Je kan ze ook behandelen met een kleine hoeveelheid waterstofperoxide aan het voedingswater toe te voegen.
Hierdoor krijgen de wortels een zuurstof opkikker, en rem je de algengroei.
Kijk wel uit met jonge plantjes want jonge wortelstelsels kunnen beschadigt raken van de waterstofperoxide.
Veel succes met groeien!😉🌱
@Lazuli, Yup, all 5 under one tsw2000.
This is my first grow though – so it might very well turn out to be a bad idea!
Although I do have the lamp between 10" and 16" from the top of the plants and still get good light coverage.
