Some yellowing leaves not sure if it's it's starting to fade or it's nutrient burn or a ph problem,...🤔I will figure it out...🙄

26.1.25: I have had a mistake 😕 i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣 However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- ♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag ♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys. ♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑 I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up 😣 I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅 I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣 So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣 Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Bubble Kush

Die Ladys hab ich jetzt in Töpfe "gestopft" um sie trocken unter ein Dach zu stellen. Der Regen ☔️ setzt ihnen sonst zu sehr zu. Denke noch Drei Wochen dann könnte es geschafft sein. Zum waschen reicht es allemal denke ich....

Last week we noticed one of the ladies had begun to show sex. A couple calyxes with barely visible white hairs coming out of them. Seeing as there's no electricity where the garden is located we opted for a 1500 lumen LED lantern, that we turn on at 11:pm every night for about 40 minutes to and hour. This seemed to have done the trick as no more hairs have been seen and the vegging process is back on track.

Gestern Abend habe ich ein DIY CO2 System installiert, konnte aber kaum CO2 messen. Ich bin mir sicher das Gas austritt und auch im Umlauf in der Box ist, doch die gewünschte Dosierung von über 1200ppm scheint für mich unerreichbar :D Tag 17: Ich vermute, auch wegen den Messwerten, das das nichts mit dem Hinzufügen von CO2 zu tun haben kann, aber Heute konnte ich erheblichen Zuwachs im vergleich zu Gestern feststellen. Aktuell wachsen die Pflanzen Horizontal. Bisher habe ich jeden 3. Tag begossen, heute wäre eigentlich wieder Zeit zum Gießen aber da die Erde, nach Messen, reichlich Feuchtigkeit enthält, werde ich dies Heute auslassen und auf Morgen verschieben. Ich denke das die Zeit des Trainierens sich gezeigt hat und mache mich derzeit via Videos Schlau. Was denkt Ihr, wann und welche Methode(n) sollte ich anwenden? An Tag 20 wurde der G13 und White Widow LST angewendet. Blätter und Triebe die kein Licht abbekamen wurden abgeschnitten. Die Amnesia Haze Auto wurde getoppt und auch hier wurden Blätter entfernt. Für die hilfreichen Kommentare bedanke ich mich im voraus.

I just added weeks 5 and 6 into one week because I didn't really have time to post last week. There seems to be a problem with my plants that I can't quite figure out. The only commonality that I changed with both plants since the last grow is the microbe Inoculant that I bought from NPK. The Black Afghan that I harvested back in November didn't have these microbes added to the soil and it grew into a monster. I am beginning to wonder if these microbes are stealing food from my plant. Even though these microbes are sold as "flowering" microbes. I'm beginning to think they are starving my plants. Also, I am technically 7 weeks from the flip to 12/12. So I may just be at the end of the flower period for these plants. I checked the Tricomes and they are mostly cloudy with about 5-10% amber. Normally at this point I would be cutting out the nutrients and letting her consume her leaves. However, she has already started to so that and now I don't know what to do. I just don't know. So... lesson learned. Stick to the basic nutes and stop trying to make this job harder than it needs to be. KISS

Nutes were getting a bit high this week so I reduced it for the coming one. Plant is maturing nicely, but not enough couldy trichomes yet. Overall it looks very promising though.

Germinated 20 seeds only 8 seeds popped contacted ice head seeds they sent replacements out within 48 hours. Running these seeds in x2 Wilma 8 pot systems , manually feeding them for the first two weeks while they are young. Also for the first week I will be using a 400w hid light starting at a distance of 1 meter away as to not shock the seedlings while gradually moving the light closer throughout the week until I reach the optimal distance of 24 inches by around day 5. Also I am running the lights on 24/7 for the first week to help accelerate growth Note: advanced nutrients ph perfect is not ph perfect had to manually drop the ph from 7.1 to 5.8 quite disappointing .

Veg day 36.- Happy girls seeing the sun for the first time. Additional soil mix is same as before. BX promix and perlite 2:1. Additional volcanic ash and worm castings. First watering was generic AB 1/4 strength, Rhizotomic and Mammoth P microbes. PH adjusted to 6.3 300ppm. Veg day 42 - after a week of wind and weather for the first time both seem to be acclimatizing well enough. A squirrel seems to like digging. Any suggestions for critter deterent?

Добрый вечер Сегодня ровно 2 недели как я перевел режим света 12/12 и 75 день жизни. Рост очень мощный, думаю он продолжится еще недели 2-3. Все вроде идет по плану, никаких замечаний не вижу. На 8 день она показала свой пол, а сегодня уже можно сказать что она цветет. Я всегда первые две недели считаю предцвет, и только начиная с третей недели начинаю считать цвет и в этот раз не будет исключений. На 12 день заменил лампу 5000К на две 200вт лампы со спектром светимости 3000К и 3500К. Сейчас в сумме у меня выходит 600вт, по бокам стоят со спектром 3500К и посередине 3000К. Все три лампы стоят на мощности в 75%. Полил ( 872ppm )-3л Bud Ignitor - 2мл/л; Влажность 44% - 54%; температура 21c - 24c 8-й день предцвета Полил ( 698ppm )-3л Влажность 40% - 52%; температура 21c - 25c 9-й день предцвета Полил ( 944ppm )-3л Cal-mag Xtra - 0,5мл/л; Bud Candy - 2мл/л; Влажность 43% - 51%; температура 21c - 25c 10-й день предцвета Полил ( 958ppm )-3л Влажность 43% - 52%; температура 21c - 24c 11-й день предцвета Полил ( 802ppm )-3л Bud Ignitor - 2мл/л; Влажность 40% - 51%; температура 20c - 24c 12-й день предцвета Полил ( 732ppm )-3л Piranha - 2мл/л; VooDoo Juice - 2мл/л; Tarantula - 2мл/л Влажность 38% - 51%; температура 20c - 26c 13-й день предцвета Полил 3л Влажность 36% - 49%; температура 21c - 27c 14-й день предцвета

So switched from 24 hour light to 18 this week which was about day 14 after last seed spread his wings also potted up from seed cups to 1.5l pots on same day, used plenty of great white shark when transplanting, roots fully stocked n crisp white, growth seems to have continued as normal. fast!! So I had to wash the coco from ecothrive after filling each new pot I applied a flush feed at 450ppm! run off was 1500ppm not happy as I thought this product was to be used strait from the bag washed n buffered. This is what I believe stitched me up in the beginning i should of checked before using it and not assume it’s all good because you’ve bought a premium product Coco wash washed with ph’ed water 6.0 until ppm was under 50 then used 10 litre of AN’s cal mag at 2ml per litre half was flushed through left for 30 min the other half was flushed though again this was hopefully to buffer the coco in case it wasn’t as this coco is not what it says on the tin so far then flushed 10 litres of just a and b at 350 ppm run off was around 400ppm I then transplanted All seems well and happy Open to others opinions and experience’s with echthrives coco with charge I believe Iv done the right thing because I’m sure those bad leaves are from the Unflushed coco I used in the beginning Friday update Feed was every other day this week to allow the pots a little time to dry out before the next feed hoping to get those roots searching the pot I’ll mention after I transplanted and watered in with feed I placed the pots on a large bath towel for a few hours to draw some of the saturation out it left the pot much lighter then after they where left to drain on there on accord again hoping for root exploration On Fridays feed I checked the bottom of the pot to see if much had made it down there, I wasn’t really expecting to see anything so soon but every pot had at least a few big old roots poking out and EC 7 was pushing them out am pretty stoked with these results All in all I think the great white shark along with AN’s piranha, tarantula and voodoo juice Are doing a smashing job of building root stock I can’t wait to transplant again and get a good look in!! Also hoping my little efforts to keep the pots a little dryer from the norm are helping stimulate root production along side the additives Fridays feed was up to 2ml per litre of voodoo piranha and tarantula 👊
