1st week, now on day 2 after germination
Is my first grow, an auto white widow
hope it goes well outdoors.
**
day 4, have noticed it is always bending throwards sunlight during day and strengthening during the night,~
**
day 5,some rain today and the plant stood on the window, inside, expect some more rain on the next 3 days, so I hope it doesnt affect much the plant, will stay inside the house, catching light from the window.
***
day 7. only rained for one day after all, rain expected for the one or two days, in 5 days, hope it goes well, is the end of the first week and will start to give nutirents now.
Leaves were bending a lil during the day, first thought it was because of the wind, but later realized it wasn´t.
was watering it almos everyday, then spent 3 days without watering and noticed the problem was too much water, didn´t take photos for 3 days, so this week ends with day 13 and next will start with day 16, go check the 3rd week to see how it turned out after being without excessive watering.
Going great, is now sunny everyday, been growing on a window, catching around 9 hours of sunlight a day, will soon be moved to an open field and catch up to 13 hours of light.
Finally fully outdoors at an open field, built a litlle shelter to protect from the wind mainly, and I hope it does its job, will start catching a lot more light, and will go check on her from 4 to 4d ays approximatly, gonna start the use of the bio bloom fertilizer.
I'm confused, on my last photo, are those pistils, an if so is it too early for the size of the plant, shw getting alot of light, why is she so small week 5 is starting today.
This is called a budsite, and it means you are in the beginning of the flowering period :) this is where your main cola will grow from during the rest of flowering. It will grow vertically and soon you'll see white hairs sticking out in every direction (above, below, sides). It might be tough on a 12/12 schedule especially since she's an autoflower, so take good care of her! The stretch only happens once so make the most of it.
the weather not being the best this past weeks, is raining (not much) and cloudy all day, it's supposed to be almost summer and honestly don't know what to expect from weather improvements, on the other hand, plant seems to go nicely, tricomes showing up and it grew in height. prob around 50 cm now
I am worried, I noticed there are spots on some of the plant´s leaves, they weren´t here last week, what can it be, I sprayed neem oil with water, two days ago, but the photo is from today.
only spots on around 4 leaves.
Someone knows what is it about, helpp.
thanks.
This looks like damage caused by thrips. Neem oil can be effective against them but the neem oil needs to be sprayed daily on the leaves both on the top and undersides. Be careful when using neem oil as this can cause an unpleasant taste on your buds. You can also try Spinosad products which are organic and non toxic to humans, pets and plants. Make sure to follow the directions on the bottles of either product as this will result in getting rid of those pesky insects. Make sure to treat your soil as well. It also does t hurt to pick up some lady bugs for around $9 they are an effective deterrent for other small soft bodied insects. Hope this helps. Good luck on your grow. Remember the already effected area on the leaves will not get any better at this point. It is best to look at areas that have not been effected yet.
definitely not much yield however was my first grow, and had no experience at all, tried my best tho, was an outdoor autoflower and the climate didn't help this year, wish the yield was larger tho.
@chapadux420 Hi there! Sad news :( It definitely looks like moths/miners/thrips. They suck nutrients out of your plants, some species can dig tunnels through the leaves, they tend to reproduce very quickly. They love heat, humidity, water, and healthy plants. They hate wind, neem-oil, and dry environments. I'd recommend to take a look below your leaves, they're often hidden there. If this invasion is confirmed, continue spraying neem-oil at night, try not to overwater your plant and never let the drain hang around, put some fans blowing straight onto your plant, and they should disappear soon. If you think it's something else, zoomed pictures would help us confirm the diagnosis. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊
@chapadux420, most times one time neem oil is emough ... mix it. a lot of water a little bit ( teaspoon) neem oil and dishwashing soap. Mix it shake it and then spray
@chapadux420, Hi greetings.
The next time you grow automatic seeds its better to plant them directly into the final pots.
Automatics like fluffy soil and a lot of space for the roots. They stop grow or in worst case begin to fower if the roots touch the ground. Thats the reason your girl is so small. But she looks fine and bring "a little harvest"
Maybe you look into my diary i planted 3 diffeent automatics and 1 feminised strain
An acceptably effective substitute for neem is coriander oil. Drives bugs away and smells good. Lingering oil won’t make your flowers taste awful. Three important points already made and reinforced here - spray at night, spray the undersides of leaves, and a few drops of soap serves as the surfactant that spreads the oil evenly, though I use Pro-tekt instead of soap, as the silicone makes it slick.
Best wishes for a great harvest
