So as my frustration continues.... I added a BlueLab Guardian PH monitor. WORLD OF DIFFERENCE! Holy cow, was I just winging it (and very poorly) on the PH, water temp, etc. Water temp too high...adding frozen water bottles daily, to keep my temps down.

Not sure how to fatten up her buds. A bit on the struggle bus, and really want to get this right. I just added Floralicious and Koolbloom from G.H. - but I'm scared to kill her. (like I did my last grow. This will be first *hopefully* successful grow.)

hey there clw , you're doing everything right basically , except the light schedule which is too intense, that's why you're seeing signs of cal mag deficiency even though you're adding cal mag. When you have too much light the plant cant get enough magnesium. Reduce by a few hours and your plant will respond quite quickly . The only other thing you need to do is be real patient, but so far so good ! Hope this helps ! 🚀

This is first grow to make it this far. I am unsure if my leaves are just doing their thing; or if I have a problem. She is an auto-flower. I am on day 74 from sprout, day 35-ish from flower.

Hey there , what you’re seeing is potassium (k) deficiency . It’s pretty common based on how many flowers you have . Nothing you can really do but if you can do increase the K slightly . Hope this helps 🚀

I don't want to chop her too soon. I've had issues my entire grow, and I don't want to assume anything anymore.

Hi Mate, looking very nice. Well done! I'd say she is very close. All milky and some amber. Leaves will amber early so keep an eye on that. If the rest of the flowers look like that I would start your flush this week or next. good luck

@clw1030, yep, same principle, folks swear you can do 20hours of light, 24 hours of light, but if you look at actual grows every single one of them shows signs of magnesium and calcium deficiency amongst other issues. best to reduce your light cycle as much as you're comfortable with 14-16 hours is more than enough, if the problem persists keep reducing the light cycle until the problem stops spreading.

@CRiSPrGrow, hey this is an auto flower. I should have been specific in my question. I do have extra cal-mag running in it.... will pulling back the light make a difference in an auto-flower? I didn't think it did!

@Smokwiri, Thanks so much for the comment. She's really come around, since her beginning. I'm looking forward to my NEXT grow, where hopefully I don't give them such a rocky start!

@clw1030, ahh a 50yr woman can my bro too 😉 The frustration is the cost of that sense of achievement. Don't go back to the soil tho, you don't need to, your plants are looking pretty healthy.

clw1030commented4 years ago
@GuerrillaNo_4, (actually almost 50yr old woman here, lol) I am. It's really been a good challenge, albeit a tad frustrating from the first grow. Said it before, but I probably really should have started in soil. Is what it is. If I can make my next grow better than the last - then I am headed in the right direction!!
