Into week three of flowering: - Need to up CalMg this week cause all my last grows with this strain the plants were stressing and showing signs of Mg deficiency I think. - The buds are stacking up pretty tight. - The top of the plant is showing some red veins AGAIN, don't know if it is genetics? Or is it too much light? ANY SUGGESTIONS? - Usually what happens is that after week three top of plant will show red veins and some leaves will turn light green yellow. What type of deficiency is this? Thanks in advance for the help. Happy growing, BM 4TwenTee *****Update on LIGHT STRESS:***** Okay I think I got this figured out. Since my plant is showing the following symptoms: - Slow yellowing of top of cannopy - Fan leaves pointing up in a steep angle - Leaves are tacoing up a bit with sharp pointy serrated leaves pointing up - Veins are turning purple and some leaves are showing green veins and yellowing of outer part of the leaf REASONS FOR THE SYMPTOMS: - Since the light is too close to the top of the canopy, although my light is running at around 60% and it is at least a meter away from the light. I think because this was a mother and basically she is accustomed to top canopy PAR of around 180-220 and she was measuring around 600PAR so that is just too much for the plant to handle. So I've lowered the light output so the top canopy is around 420 PAR. - Also my humidity is pretty high at around 72% so I lowered it to around 65% - The reason why the leaves are tacoing up to the light is because the canopy cannot take the high PAR, the temp at the top of the canopy is only 76F so that is acceptable, but the plant is trying the sweat due to the high PAR, but because the humidity was also too high it was not sweating as much as it should. - The reason why a light stressed plant shows different deficiencies eg. magnesium and phosphate is due to the "extra sweating" that takes place, cannabis plants don't choose what they intake, if they need more water to sweat, extra nutrients will be absorbed and this will lockout some of the other nutrients in the solution. **End of week update: Tried multiple changes but still no luck on getting rid of red leaf stem. - Added a 1 hour sunrise and sundown light regiment - Decreased Humidity to 65% from low 70's - Top of canopy PAR decreased from 600 to 350. Leaves red stems still not going away and top of canopy still trying to get rid of moisture with fan leaves pointing up. If anyone can chime in that would be great thanks.

Added the first screen into the tent. Decided to kick Big Mumma out because she just wasn't growing any taller and the other plants were really over growing her. For the new setup I used kitty litter trays and mesh to sit the plants on - each plant gets its own tray so I can track runoff EC individually and I cut little flaps in the mesh so I can wet vac the runoff. With this setup I shouldn't need to move the plants out of the tent until harvest. For the scrog I just tied some builders rope around the poles of the tent and tied the trellis netting off with training wire. I've been manipulating the growth just to try and fill out the whole screen, I also gave them a good haircut because I plan on flipping them soon, don't want them to outgrow the tent.

Se regó foliarmente con Big One para estimular la floración. Y se comenzó con Voodo Juice para estimular raíces además de Top Bloom para ya comenzar de lleno con la floración. Seguimos ...

For vegetative stage I kept the lights on for 20 hours and off for 4 and then at the first sign of trigger I set hed the lighting to 12/12 I used pre amendment soil so there was no need to add nutrients the plant was in a city slicker sub irrigated planter that I would refill when empty this was my first time growing in a sub irrigated planter and it most definitely will not be the last this planter rocks out to say the least only regret is that I didn't buy more of them as for the smoke report I'll try and do an update I'll be drying for 16 days at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% humidity

04/02/24. Here we are starting week 6. Not too much has changed since last week. 2 of the girls leaves seem to be changing colors no matter what intensity of light I try, or what nutrients I give, or don’t. Both of their pistols have gotten really dark as well. #1 (middle plant) has stayed pretty dark green, pretty sure she has too much nitrogen before. Her pistols seem to be darkening much slower. It seems as the other 2 are very similar to each other, and seem more mature. I figured they would maybe drink less water as time went on but instead it seems they are drinking more than ever. Some days the soil is so dry and they look droopy after having been watered thoroughly the day before. Others they seem alright, so watering schedule is typically every other day unless they demand more. I’ve been giving them about a gallon- watering in very slowly. I also gave them some tea, which I’ve listed up top. Trying to help their leaves. Maybe this is just normal, but I don’t know, just think it’s too early for colors. The smell I mentioned in another week has gotten louder. I swear I smell spices mixed in there now too. It’s been nice out the past few days so I opened the windows. Oops. Could smell them outside. Smelled like weird spicy food cooking with a side of chemical, gas, and a skunk spraying? Yeah idk lol.

Girls started their last mile; buds are growing and smell is getting strong. I think in 2 weeks they will be ready to harvest. During the last week I removed all leaves bigger and I will continue to do it just to favorite penetration of light. I feel satisfied, it’s my first indoor experience.

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

Day 15 ready for the transplant tomorrow. Just watered each with 1/3 cup of water. It was the first watering since the initial one 15 days ago. My basement is very humid. All 4 are growing pretty strong. The 2 on the left and right are the Guavo Autos and the other 2 are Sticky Soul Photos. They will continue their life outside starting tomorrow. Day 16 and all 4 plants have been transplanted into their final 3 gallon pots. What I did was water each cup yesterday with 1/3 cup of water. Today I drilled some holes in the 3 gallon pots. I filled it with a small amount of build a soil light mix and the rest with happy frog. I poured 2 cups of water into the new soil. I made a hole. I added 2tbspns of Mykos to each pot. I slid the plants out of the cups into the hole. I watered those in with 3 cups of water each. A little ran off through the bottom. I’m going to keep them in the shade for a few days then toss them in the sun. Stay tuned! Day 20 and we are looking really good. Check the video above.

12.5 - F60 - another couple dark cycles and she'll get the big dark and chop. Really excited, such a loverly plant and the way the calyx started stacking up in the past couple weeks has been neat. I frequently see people harvest very round buds off this plant, so I'm curious to see how she looks all trimmed up.

I'm not sure why, but I don't like the way she's growing :( I supposed that my plant problem is the over watering. So no I inserted an air pipe directly in the rockwool cube to give more oxygen to the roots and let they get more nutrients. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: IN THE NEXT SET UP ADD A STONE WITH AIR PUMP DIRECTLY IN THE BASKET 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I will leave the pipe all night and see how the plant will look tomorrow. Cross fingers.

Popped up, looking solid.

Every thing has been going well, plants looking very lush, & healthy, put on a bit of a stretch, added 2nd scrog net to train them through as they stretched. Been busy lollipoping & defoliating lower growth to allow more air & light through. Removed a lot of lower popcorn branching & lower bud sites, so they can now focus & send all their energy to the top bud sites. Going very well.

Esto ya va cogiendo forma. Un aroma muy agradable choca en mi cara cada vez que abro el armario. Está empezando a resinar muy bien, aunque tengo la sensación de que aún puedo mejorar mucho en esta parte de la floración. El clima lo he tenido controlado sin complicaciones. Estos últimos días he tenido que activar el deshumidificador porque había mucha humedad fuera. Espero la próxima semana vaya engordando esas flores. A seguir cuidándolas cómo se merecen 💪

Today is the third week since I popped them in water. I have only feed just water at the moment no nutes. I will start with Canna coco a and b and rhizotonic at half strength and see how they react. Also added a humidifier but turned it off because it seems to over water the plants. when I have it on the plants droop not sure why. But all good for now.

Male and female preflowers showed this week. I waited a few extra days just to make sure the balls on the male were indeed balls. I chopped the male but did keep the female and defoliated her and continued LST. I increased the tension on the plant ties, pulling them further to the sides so that the inner plant would be exposed, getting those nodes in the air and light. I removed about 10% of the leaves, started at the bottom then worked up to the upper canopy, only removing fan leaves that were blocking the light to nodes that need it. I began feeding some FF Big Bloom.
