So hectic first week, light was originally about a meter up obviously causing the stretching!! Hopefully they can be salvaged and the clay pebbles give them the support they need as well as distribute feeding a bit better!! Just fed them will update week 2 soon 😊

Grow Questions

Imbusystarted grow question 4 years ago
Not really seeing growth in the way I have in past grows, should I cull one because of the stretch so early on and start again, or will it level out in a week or two?? Pretty sure I just had the light too high this is also my first time growing in Coco, more nutes?

Plant. Too tall

Hi ! Dit gaat beteren, hang de lampen op een goede afstand. Zeker geen extra voedingsstoffen gaan bijgeven, je zaailing is nog te klein. Succes met groeien!👌🌱

Not seeing as much growth as other diaries, hoping she'll catch up and get out of seedling vibes soon! Do you think I should cull the weaker one if she doesn't pick up and start something else?? Or am I just being impatient! And how much water for this 1gal pot? Added a heater because well the heating broke down and it was already at around 15 degrees Celsius, also lowered the light about 5 cm Keep reading I should add nutes to coco from the start but didn't wanna over do it, so only added a tiny amount of 1.5ml of each to a 8L pot, and pH'd around 5.9/6, would get it lower but still learning !

Slowly but surely! Lemme know if you think anythings wrong but they look healthy enough just not much growth, finally today the fan leaves started to resemble what they're supposed to look like! One of the green gelatos hasn't grown since the last update so I'm going to replace her as I still have one seed left! Gunna start on half strength nutrients as you see above from this week, hoping not to burn them! All stems weren't holding their weight but hopefully the wires will do that job just fine, the lights been raised up again to encourage a small stretch now some leaves have appeared, just hoping it doesn't pop into flower in this tiny formation! The heating here isn't ideal and it just snowed so hopefully this tiny heater will keep her growing! Also been watering .75l a day in Coco don't know if it's too little, but would rather not waterlog the bottom of the pots as they're small!

Couple weeks behind but we're off!! Growing short and bushy so I've moved the light up to the top now for next week! Both seem healthy no signs of nute burn! Hope they don't flower prematurely.

Another slow but healthy looking week! What do you guys think?? Are they stunted or just slow burners? Started lst today but might just leave it Full nutes and calmag at 1ml per ltr, watering once a day 1.5L between two one gal plants !

Still growing slow but probably ok for 2 weeks of stunting/no growth. Might peel back the nutes to half strength, no real signs of burn but a few light tips! Also getting a high ppm at run off... Any thoughts?

Preflowers are showing, hopefully this is the last week of veg!! Some roots coming out the bottom of the northern lights but hoping for the best! Getting kinda bushy and fighting for space but what can you do! No nutes this week as showing some burn on the lower leaves! Could just be diverted energy.

Longest veg ever but to be expected with the early stretch, temp and light problems! The green gelatos started showing bud sites and pistrils where as the northern lights has pre flowers but no real bud formations. Should I flip to 12/12 for a bit or just give it a bit of a dark period here and there ? Back on the nutes at half strength probably the strongest I'll go ! Hopefully see you for week one of flowering next week!?

FINALLY IN FLOWERING!! Northern lights barely flipped but just about showing pistrils, and the green gelato is stretchy and thin but abundant with bud sites! Think 1.5/ml is the sweet spot for these plants so I'm gunna put the nutrients to that for the rest of this grow!! Gearing up for a 18 week auto here so get comfy haha!!

Slowly but surely nothing mad to report just getting into flowering, NL seems a bit slower than the gg! Hopefully 5-7 weeks away from being done who knows 🤷‍♂️???

Sorry missed a week, flowering is going ok, hoping they will fatten up soon ??? Just lots of white hairs but no buds?? Defoliated the northern lights as room is tight and that girls strong af so can take it! Has slowed bud production compared to the other two tho. The tangie matic I started earlier in the grow has over taken both of these plants!

We're in for a long flower it looks like, not much to report other than they're getting thirstier and I'm pretty sure the NL will probably get root bound but let's see maybe she'll surprise me

Hi mate, so a banana tree will be giving her a boost of Potassium. I'm not sure if it has any Phosphorus at all but for sure this will help with your end harvest. There is no actual evidence that flushing works. In fact it is more likely to strip plant of essential nutrients it needs to ripen buds. Carry on as you are and use the cure to breakdown the chlorophyl stored in the buds. She will smoke great when she is ready after a minimum of a month cure. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

@Imbusy, Hey thx. Good Luck with your GG. Mine started crazy too. Almost tossed her but decided to keep her to test some torture in her. LST, fimming, topping, she had it all, and kinda likes it 😂. She stays longer in veg than my Northernlights.
Imbusy
Imbusycommented4 years ago
@TsultrimTarchin, oh dope I'll be following your grow then!! Good to see someone else using Coco too! I have a spare green gelato should they stay stagnat/stretching but a bit of patience for now, hoping she's just a slow burner

@Imbusy, No, mine are a little further in growth and have been faster, but don't worry about it, yours still have at least 5/6 weeks of flowering. And you will see that buds will get fat soon!
Imbusy

@HirdoWeirdo, is yours a lil slow too?? She's looking strong and healthy hoping she fattens up soon
