Ouh boy are they growing now! Looks like the fruity pebbles is a female and has some white pistils out of her. She was from a friend and he didn’t own what type of seed he used but it could be an auto flower, highly doubt it though. I topped the white widow and noticed the first growth coming out of it had leaves that just looked bad. They were torn almost looked like they’d been eaten but those were the only leaves and I found no sign of bugs. Other than that though they’re doing great, excited to switch to flower at the end of this week, gonna be getting big real soon!
Hey everyone. I’m having a little trouble keeping humidity up now that I’m in flower. Does anyone know how to keep the humidity in a tent up during flower without misting? Really don’t want to risk mold
@Athos: I believe he is trying to make sure his humidity doesn’t drop to low and stunt growth. His humidity without misting is typically at 27%. I think his general question should be is 27% too low and if so how does he raise it slightly without misting?
@EmperorOfBud Hi there! Congrats on your first grow, you're doing great! There are a few things you can optimize. 1) Your light distance looks huge on the last pictures, you may want to decrease this distance in order to maximize the light efficiency. The hand-test is quite universal, if your hand - positioned at the top of the canopy - don't feel too hot, then you're good, if your hand burns, then your light will also burn your plant. 2) I think you're trying to apply a continuous pH level of 6.2, but your soil will react better if you change this level a bit at each watering session, within the 6.0 - 6.5 range. 3) Slow down on nutrients! If the infos onto your diary are correct, you're overfeeding your plants with 13ml of fertilizer per liter. 4) Are you really giving 2gals of water everyday? That's way too much, your soil needs to be on a wet/dry cycle, having a permanently wet soil results in root rot, slow growth, nutrients lockout... 5) Is your white fan blowing straightly onto the canopy? I have the same fan and I found it too violent for direct exposure, I usually tilt it to the roof, so it can create a breeze into the grow room, but not directly onto the plants, this gave me wind-stress in the past, plant's don't need wind, they just need a cool and continuous breeze. Hope this helps, I'll be around, keep us up-to-date so we can help you adjusting your parameters, and happy growing! 👊
Personal rule of thumb: if it looks like something's eating it, it probably is. That's a real distinct look. A lot of pests are super small and you can't always see them.
I don't know if you already know the Grow Weed Easy or this article, but I always use this for diagnosis. I'd at least go through it and then look at the plants and go through it again.
It's probably nothing as long as it doesn't keep happening (or get worse), but if it is a problem you want to nip it in the bud. By the time it looks like an actual problem, it may be too late.
That said, I cannot ID that damage to your fans as being a bug, nor do I recall it from the guide. With pests, better safe than sorry is not just an idiom =)

@Jaindoh, all is going okay, looks like it was just a nutrient deficiency along with some weird new growth but the problem hasn’t shown up anywhere else and it’s gone so it looks like all is good. I do have a healers loupe that I used to look under the leaves and I didn’t notice any bug activity. I’ll make sure to look out for it though
@Kindbudz, Yeah, it was just the way that you put it that made me feel like advising caution probably best.
I see similar stuff from time to time, we have these not-ladybugs everywhere here and they never do enough damage to amount to anything but i figure thats what it is -- no clue if im right.
@Jaindoh, I personally think it is a deficiency as I have been walking him through this grow from day 1. He just got some nutrients in for the first time this week and hasn’t added any since the start of the grow. I believe he should experience normal growth from here on out.
Looking great! I don't remember the Fox Farm schedule by heart, but seems like you're about ready to lower the nitrogen and raise the bloom nutes! Headed into the last leg of the grow!
Looking forward to your harvest =)
