, whenever I make and update to any of my grow diaries. I'll do a full plant lookover just to make sure I'm not missing anything. I noticed these spots just a bit ago and it didn't match any pictures I was finding on Google. Everything took me to mildew or pests but there's no evidence of either. I'd agree it's leaf damage but wanted to be sure. Third grow ever, first with Coco so I'm taking no precautions. I appreciate your effort, thank you very much

I have no idea what mildew looks like when its that small but I'll bet its not mildew with that plant at that stage, health and environment. How did you spot that...Its probably nothing more than a little leaf damage if its from one of the older leaves. I certainly wouldn't get stressed about it.If it did tern out to be something its nothing that can't be sorted I'm sure.

They've certainly come on in the last couple of weeks mate. You mustv be well happy with them.9wks in and they still look like they've got a couple of wks to go, what do the breeders say about flowering time. Mine are finished and were barneys and they went wks over.Just checked and they say its now so that means 1 more wk at the earliest,haha.. Most breeders say something like 8 but best at 9 so you can always add 1 wk to what they say and that's the very earliest.They look like they've got longer.I bet the put most of their weigth on last week,3wks before harvest which is what they do. That's when they use the most PK.Ash and shit.The green worms maybe caterpillars.I think they only live for 2wks before becoming butterflys I remember Attenborough correctly so shouldn't be too much trouble if you don't have too many.

, oh i replied up side down with the other comment:) I answer to you other comment here sorry. I saw powdery milew in early veg and i decided to spray neem oil every Friday and wood vinegar every Tuesday and spray lab bacteria once a week and i had no pest but a little green worms that i hunted them with my hands mostly. But now in flowering i still spray those things on the defoliated branches under the net some down leaves. I want to introduce some predator mites for this 6-7 week a head. If you see anything wrong or advice i would appreciate that my friend. You helped me from the early stages 🙏🏽

Do you have an issue with powdery mildew like they do in most parts of the world as you could spray your plants with the compost tea as it really helps to prevent mildew. Chris Trump on YT has some great posts about compost tea and KNF,Korean Natural Farming.Its about feeding your plants with plants and things like fish scraps which helps no end with taste and flavour.

Stop the tea my friend. They do need lots more P and K during the first 2wks of flowering which is the main nutrient in guano and vermi so shouldn't hurt but its far too much seaweed. Good microbes will help with keeping the PH of the soil correct .Elaine Ingham is the OG of soil science and she has some great posts on YT.Less is certainly more when it comes to ganja,they are autotropic after all, they've evolved to feed themselves in nature so do really well on very little. Most of us have done just what you're doing especially before the interweb.The plastic wont effect the impact of the sun. I remember saying you only get several hours but its very intense.In southern Europe which is further north than you and its good to use the green screen as the sun gets too much in mid summer so keep an eye out for light and heat stress.They look very good,I'd say something like several oz per plant.

Looking good. Iv always got auto seeds in the fridge and often put 1 in with a photos for an early harvest when Im getting low.

Nice one. I ended up checking the top max for someone else and found out its Humic Acid which is especially good for organics as it makes the nutrients more available. I use it all the time in synthetic nutrients as its in my base grow,ph perfect sensi grow in the form of fulvic acid. I also use advanced nutrients Ancient earth in my organics as Iv been doing both sside by side for a few yrs now. If money isn't an issue then advanced nutrients are by far the best.They don't just add the 14 mineral eliments the plants need they add so much more. Their organic iguana juice has several times more ingredients than bio bizz,things that add flavour like fish hydroslate.Their whole organic range is amazing but its not cheap.

They're clearly healthy. I'd go dig some soil and roots up from under an old tree for your next tea.The microbes are in the roots as well as the soil.Add a dose of grow and top max for food,they love humic acid, top max.That should sort your PH out There's some great posts on collecting microbes on you tube,chris trump is the man with his KNF farming.Id add some PK to fatten those buds up. Wood ash works great for K and shite for P.bat guano really helps with taste as well. Or a cheap bottle of organic PK,10 euro. Top Max is just Humic acid I think which is great but they need some K Potassium to build the cells.

, I checked it out and like I thought its got very little in it.It says 1wks food. The shits done better than I thought it would. Stunted but healthy. Look at my 5wk old autos and see the difference, autos do grow faster but still, they're huge.You need some food. You can grow quality pllants on very little but even better ones with quality food.You need a base food and 1 or 2 additives but like everything in life its down to that wicked green. Tell me your budget and il let ya know whats best to get. Cheap bare min,cheap+,average or best.20-50-100-200 euro. Most of the products will do around a dozen plants.

What are you feeding them?Shit is great during early growth and early and late flowering. Did the soil come pre fed as it doesn't last long so you may need some more food after a few wks,I'd check.

The tips can yellow from lack of nutrition so give them the full strength.They need it now more than ever. I see the massive variation of the dilution rates 1-4ml.Give it 4ml.Its much harder to over do it with organics. Its completely different to synthetic. The microbes feed the plant the organics but the synthetic goes in directly which is why its much easier to burn. If the plants getting too much N then the plant will repel the Nitrogen fixing bacteria.The microbes feed on each other,there's 1000s of different types as well as the plant feeding them.BioBizz Top Max is what you need. Or better still General Hydroponics Humic which is better value. The nutrients will become much more available,I think its charges them. Its probably the No1 recommended adative for organics.

Just noticed the basement.Make sure you keep them off that cold floor and keep the temps up.

It should be OK with the top max,top max is PK isn't it? It will more than likely be the light stress. I had it myself when I switched over to led,s because it wasn't warm enough.24 so increased to 28 and it stopped.I believe its mostly due to lack of radiant heat and the leaf surface temp.
