Since I'm playing catch up with documenting my first grow cycle, I'm going to combine weeks and just give updates. I mentioned in the last weekly comment about adding the wicking bases and how that can be potentially problematic. Well here's where I noticed the issue but mostly with the Orange Sherbet sativa. I started noticing changes in color and leaves that didn't look good to me. Fortunately, I have a couple of great friends who also grow and have been able to take advantage of their knowledge and experience along the way. I highly recommend doing this if you have friends who also grow. Anyway, I had one of my friends come over and it was determined that the issue was due mainly to overwatering. We decided that with the wicking bases in addition to the humidity level in the tent, that the plant was staying too wet. Catching this quickly and addressing it is huge with autos since they tend to be more delicate that regular plants (as I understand things anyway). To address the overwatering issue, I immediately stopped using the wicking bases and let the plants dry out for about a week. I did no watering at all for the week but kept the humidifier going. That really helped correct what was going on. I then decided that I was no longer going to use the wicking bases at all and only do top watering. You'll see as I move forward with documenting this grow cycle, that I changed my mind again on this once the plants went into flower. But hey, what do you expect, this was my first ever grow.

Just starting here, these seeds were above ground on Jan 20/22. Just starting my first week of veg now after main lining and structuring the plants the way I want, I'm doing the full veg/flower in these 1.5 Gallon pots. These were regular seeds and I know for sure there's one male , which I'm cool with as long as he turns out to be a stud of a plant , I'll keep his pollen and if I get a few seeds , if not he's gone. I don't mind it's just me smoking and last time I left the male I had maybe 20 seeds per female in all of the buds. This strain last time I grew it tasted like Durban poison with a cocoa/coffee hint it was delicious in the morning. Plants are 24 days old today.

So die 11 Woche hat angefangen, seit ca 5 Tagen gibt es kein Dünger mehr für die Lady. Täglich gieße ich mit 1.5 Liter und das Wasser hat einen PH Wert von 6.5. Noch eine Woche und dann steht die Erste Ernte an. Bin echt gespannt wieviel Trockene Buds auf der Wage sind.

Leider in zwei Buds Anzeichen von Fällen entdeckt daher alle Headbuds vorsorglich geerntet und kleinteilig zerlegt. In dreien Blütenfäule gefunden. Der Rest war o.k. Da alle Trichome milchig sind und wir eh nicht so die Bernstein Dampfer sind wird diese Woche vollständig geerntet. Angegebene Blütedauer 50 -55 Tage

Plants look healthy, except for a few older leaves, which appear to have some issues. Added big bud this week, lots of bud sights on each plant.

They all seem to be different phenos, all very pretty looking, nice trichome coverage, the tall plant with small buds has a layer of trichomes on the stems!

D36 - The first day in the first week of flower. The girls look healthy overall, although there are a couple of minor issues. A single leaf on the first girl has some discolored spots. I used a loupe to look closer at it but couldn't see any pests, so I'm not sure what the issue might be. On the other hand, the second girl has light-colored leaf tips on the topmost growth. It reminds me of light bleaching, but I checked with the meter, and it was only reading 400 PPFD, so I doubt that is the issue. There are a few light-colored tips on the first girl's top as well, but it is less pronounced than on the second girl. Minor issues for sure, but I'll keep my eyes on them. I did some additional LST to keep the girls squat and bushy, and I gave each 1.25-liters of water @ pH 6.2 with 25 ml EM-1. D37 - I decided to remove the spotty leaf, and took a look with the microscope but couldn't really see anything. D38 - More LST D40 - Even more LST D41 - Just pics today. I haven't spotted any more spotted leaves (Ha), and the light-colored tips haven't progressed. So far so good... D42 - We're at the end of the first week of flower, and all is well. I did minor defoliation on the lower branches, removing fan leaves that weren't getting any light, and continued with the LST to maintain a flat canopy. I finally turned on the Blumat system since the soil had dried out enough to be in a reasonable range. I need to monitor it for the next few days, ensuring it runs correctly. The pH of the water in the reservoir is 6.7. I also increased the amount of light the girls are getting to around 550-600 PPFD at the canopy level.
