5/17 Hello everyone! Not many pics this time around, it's been a busy week! Marie has grown so much in the past week that it touched the lamp, no burns only because it's a low power light and I have a feeling that the reflective box does much of the work when it comes to lighting.
Anyway, today I spent some time attaching the lamp to the top of the box as you can see from the video, I think it works great!
Watered as usual, 1lt PHd @6.3 +-0.2 when the soil dries (2-3 days) and added some extra Bio-Grow; I also took the occasion to defoliate again, I want more light to reach lower nugs and I've also noticed how when I defoliate the air in the box is much fresher and clean.
Week 10 will mark the full switch to flowering nutes, I'll have 3 weeks to nuke the s**t out of this plant with nutrients before flushing, fingers crossed!
Let's make some calculations over the growth in height:
Week 8: +13cm
Week 9: +15cm
Assuming +15cm as the max growth rate (I sure hope so), and considering that this plant will take a maximum of 14 weeks from germination (14th being the harvesting week), we're looking at:
Week 10: 83cm
Week 11: 98cm
Week 12: 113cm
Week 13: 128cm
Week 14: 143cm
Which is a whole 25 cm more than my box! XD, hopefully, once we reach week 11 (so next week) it will slow down, after all, 120cm is the maximum height for these genetics (but I hope it's a bit lower like 100 cm would be perfect)
As you can see from my diary the seedling just sprouted, but if you look closely the leafes have some super small white tips. Any suggestions? Thanks ^^
To answer your question. The plant looks like one of the healthiest seedlings ever. Humidity domes are not necessary. Used to use one just slowed the grow for no reason. And 3-5 ml is nowhere near enough. I agree fill that pot with water. Man up and grow that sh!t brah!
My plant is not really increasing in height, in 20 days since sprouting it covered the 25cm diameter of the pot and now it's going out. It looks super healthy so I'm not too much worried but should I perhaps move the light higher so that the plant stretches a bit?
Hi there Matriosky, sorry but i have to disagree with my esteemed colleagues here, you have calmag deficiency as you can see from the yellowing on the serrated edges of the leafs starting with the newest growth first (immobile nutrient) and in between the veins starting at the base of the leaf. It's specifically magnesium deficiency. That's probably because of your intense light schedule : plants just need more Mg with strong lights or long schedules. So what you can do is to increase the calmag you're already feeding as well as to make a spray with calmag 1-2 ml / L and spray twice a week to compensate for the lights. If the problem persists you might need to reduce the light schedule to fix the root cause. If you do this the problem should stop spreading quite quickly and the plant should recover in around 10 days or less. Hope this helps ! 🚀
historic stuff:
-Cal mag deficiency, treated it with calmag foliar and extra in the water, it's gone now
-Overwatered it 2-ish weeks ago; waited 10 days for the ground to dry before giving more
- My humidity level is too high for my liking (50-75% depending on watering time)
First time ever and I don't know if I've done well: too many leaves? too little?
I also took some big fan leaves that were covering some sweet bud spots.
Hello again!
Still unsure whether or not I should harvest my Magnum, please find a few photos attached from the calixes and hairs, don't know if the trichomes are ready enough. Also plant was supposed to be ready on week 12, we're at week 16...
Any help is appreciated!
Yo esperaría a encontrar más tricomas ámbar. Si está bien que empieces a hacer un lavado y sigas solo con agua! Aún veo muchos pistilos sin oxidarse. Presta atención que no saque pistilos nuevos. Porque si sigue sacando nuevos pistilos significa que la planta aún no llego a su maduración final
@CRiSPrGrow,Hey! been trying to find a way to answer to question answer's but it seems like it is not possible :(((
Just wanted to thank everyone for the help; regarding your particular answer, it seems very insightful, here's what I'll do for the next week or so:
1 .spray the leaves with 2ml/l calmag every 2-3 days
2. water less often, as more than one person noticed the wet soil, considering that I've watered 2-3 days ago I agree that it shouldn't be this wet...
3. if it's not solved/improved by the next week (preflower I think, judging from the smell XD) I'm going to switch the light schedule to 16/8
Kudos to you for noticing the slightly yellowish serrated edges! I thought it was normal as it's very hard to notice and nothing like the deficiencies that I saw online but hey, at least I learned something new :)
