Hey all!
First time grower. Long time lurker. First grow is going ok but struggling with yellowing on the tops of the TW. Growth is also slower than I expected...
Any feedback or suggestions?
Have been watering when they feel light. Feeding every other time at half dosages. Roughly every 2-3 days.
Adjusting ph to between and 6.5 and adding calmag.
I have a mix of soil,coco coir and perlite.
6" exhaust and carbon filter going 24x7.
3 gal smart pots(would go 5g next time)
Appreciate any feedback from the seasoned growers out there!
The foliage looks really dark green, so it's almost sure that you are over feeding, If you are going to use coco, then an EC/PPM meter is a requirement, else you are feeding blind and there is no soil to buffer any mistake. As for your watering, a quarter a gallon per day is too much, try half that, or even a third that amount of water.
Realize I've made rookie mistakes of too much light, water and nutrients. Going slow and low this week. 😃
ppm @ 315. 100 out of tap so 215 of nutrients. Feeding once a week.
Watering about 250ml day or less. Same volume for feeding.
Lights on vegetative only (400 w draw) as high as i can easily get them.
Both trainwreck are female.
Afghani kush may be male. Will get some preflower picks this weekend.
Thanks for all the help!y
Thinking about 1-2 weeks before I flip. Going to get trellis this weekend and install it so I can fill out the canopy more. Growing better. Watering tor runoff daily. Feeding at about 750ppm.
Flipping to flower this week. Canopy is 80-90% full and growth is strongand healy. Don't have a lot of height so don't want them to get much bigger before I flip. Added a manifold to the Drip irrigation system; highly recommend.
Starting to up the flowering nutrients
Week 2 of flower. Still stretching and canopy is nice and full. Transitioning to bloom nutrients. Did some defoliation on day 9 as canopy was very full
Entering week three of flowering. Budlets forming everywhere. About 40 tops. Need another round of defoliation to get more light into the canopy. Nutrients ate running around 800-900 PPM.
Not as strong smelling as I would've thought by now. Will see how they are by the end of the week.
Starting week 4 of flowering. Have been defoliating daily. Adjusting feedings to ensure run off and ppm of about 800. Steady as she goes. Buds are growing really well. Lots of Crystal everywhere and some fattening happening!
Week 5 of flowering. Continuing to defoliate and they gain buds and mass. Two tranwrecks on outside doing really great. Afghan kush is middle is slow. It's the only one in a 3g pot (rest are 7g) so figure it's root bound.
Wow. They are very crystallized now. Buds are fattening up every day. Lots of orange hairs and milky trichromes. Plan to go to 8 weeks if I can and flush week nine. Will see how they go but so far so good.
Week 7 of flowering. Ladies are doing nicely; fattening up and getting very crystallized. Tops are mostly cloudy trichromes with a few amber. Due to unforeseen issues, will be moving up a week on the feed chart and then starting flush next week.
Last week of nutrients then will be flushing for a week with floraclear. Trichromes are almost 90% milky rest clear and amber mix. Smelling good. Super frosty.
