Nutrients?
Justa_Retardanswered grow question 5 years ago
You see those two tiny leaves it starts with?
- That's a nutrient bank. The plant takes nutrients from them until they're empty and die off.
There's no reason to give them fertilizer until that happens.
The8thChevronanswered grow question 5 years ago
You shall not. The plant is born with nutrients packed in. It feeds off of these nutrients for a few weeks. When the rounded leaves (the cotyledons) start turning yellow, that's when you start nutes. Very lightly at first. My plants go 3 weeks before nutes and I grow in hydro, where absolutely no other nutrients exist.

Increase nutrition?Should I up the nutes? I’ve been feeding 1/4 amount for the last 3 feeds. I’ve read that after first week of 1/4 up it to 1/2, but from what I can see (foliage pic added) everything looks like it’s quite healthy.
Will plant benefit with more or should I stay as I am?

Male Plant Smell?Weird question but do males smell differently than females (at least maybe when they're young?) It could've been something else, but I picked up one of these and did the ol' scratch and sniff on the leaf and it just smelled weird lolWeek 3

Found some Hermies last night and took all the pollen sacs I could see. Now I'm not sure if I go until the end or abort the mission. They are 13 daysThe clones had some heat stress while rooting, and their mother was hermie as well due to timers malfunction. The clones where made before that problem, but i still wonder...

Ph changed from 6.3 to 6.8 two days after adding nutes/vinegar to bring ph down. Tested too soon? How long to wait to check water ph after treatment?Water that i had ph’d was sitting at 6.3 had jumped to 6.8 two days later. I’m assuming its because when I mixed i tested immediately after without letting sit for a while (shook jug after adding vinegar/nutes ~30 sec). Curious if i tested too soon or it adjusted while settlingFeeding. Other

How long left?Hey all, first grow seems to be going ok, despite me being clueless!
Now at 8 weeks and 2 days and wondering how long I’ve got left? RQS say 9-10 weeks total.
Still a bit to go - only a few hairs turning brown but would really value input on when to stop nutes?
ThanksWeek 8
