24 hours darkness for these ladies and then the chop. Third plant still has a ways to go but now I got the light a lot closer to it so should finish up quick.

Just waiting for that little bit of amber to pop up

So closing notes for this grow basically. They smell good and are pretty covered in trichs but they never quite filled out like they should have. Gonna start harvesting top to bottom as the trichs mature. Not worried about the quality of this bud though I’m just pleased with how much I learned about maintaining Ph and nutrient uptake. I had a lot of deficiencies in these plants due to incorrect ph and build up of nutrients in the medium causing lockout. Notes for next grow: gonna try 3 gallon fabric pots with fox farm soil with added perlite and mycorrhiza. I need to hone in on getting a proper amount of run off throughout my entire grow while not overwatering them hence why the smaller pots with better drainage. I’m far more confident after this grow but even if the next isn’t perfect I’ll be happy if I can learn something from it.

Watered plain water ph 6.1 ppm 90. I got a fair amount of runoff this time and it read perfectly within the ph range but 900+ ppm! I feel like this is why I’m having so many deficiencies cause it’s all built up on the bottom probably incorrect ph and all that. I’m just confused about getting a good amount of run off during veg without overwatering the plants? Do I use smaller pots? Do I try transplanting? Please help!

Watered last Friday. Don’t think these will turn out that well and the micronutrient deficiencies are still eating away at the bigger leaves but I learned a lot this grow about maintaining ph and how to feed autos. Still have a lot to learn but I’m excited for the next grow.

Fed today. 1/4 strength 3 part plus 1ml of cal mag and silica. Ph in was 6.3 ppm 430. Didn’t have enough water for run off so I phd some distilled and ran enough through to get some run off. Ph was 5.9-6.1. Hopefully they should recover from the deficiencies. I also remade me co2 generator with a new batch and a heating pad this time to keep the bucket warm.

This is week 3 of flowering. I few days prior I fed some cal mag and silica which I will start working both I or my regular feeding schedule. Cal mag should cure the magnesium deficiency I’ve got atm. Today I watered just water 6.6 ph about 1 liter each. You can also see I’ve implemented my own DIY ghetto CO2 generator! Lmk if you want an explanation of that.

So for starters I decided to move my 3 best looking plants under the more powerful lights however as you can tell (first picture) I noticed on the two bigger ones that there is some yellowing between the cells of the older fan leaves. If anyone can tell me there best guess as to what that is I’d appreciate it. Other than that growth has been good I’ve been keeping up with my leaf tucking and it’s seems like it’s paying off.

I made a big mistake totally forgot to ph the water cause I had so much going on. I wasn’t even supposed to feed this round. What do I do!?!?!

So I waited for the soil to completely dry out in the sickly looking one and it still never recovered. His roommate starting looking pretty thirsty so I decided to water them both 6.7 ph 180 ppm and the droopy one still doesn’t look any better. At this point I have to assume it was some kind of ph issue and I’ll probably flush as a last resort. In the other tent things look great tho! Plants have flipped to flowering and the one on the right is really taking off think it might be time to turn up the nutrients a little bit for them.

After the last watering she ( last picture) almost immediately started drooping. I figured i overwatered and just needed to wait for the soil to dry out but she hasn’t recovered yet and looks worse by the day. Other than that I fed the rest of them today 6.6 ph 160 ppm. Looks like I’m starting to see some pistils poking out of all of them

Officially got the whole grow area set up and all the plants situated. Temp in the basement is a bit chillier but I’ve got a heater keeping the tents around 70 so I’m happy with that. Humidity is naturally right around where a want it to be so no need for a humidifier anymore. Super pumped with how it all looks!

Watered today plain water 6.6 ph. Might need to water a little bit less. Gonna put the two bigger pots in the other tent and tomorrow probably move the other tent out next too it. It’s a bit colder out there but should be fine

Today marks what I think is technically start of week 3 of veg. I’ve slowly decreased the humidity to 50% in the tent. They got their first bit of nutrients. General hydroponics flora 3 part. 1/8 strength. 6.78 ph 145 ppm. Gave a little less then 1/2 a gallon to each plant (little more to the bigger pots) they look really good think things will get more exciting now that I’ve started nutrients. Next water will definitely be a few days away.

Coming along nice. Next water will be their first bit of nutrients.

They are starting to get some momentum now still a little small but I think it’s because we had cold conditions for the first week or so. Next week I’ll start feeding 1/8 nutrients.

Last pic is the one with the funny looking leaf. They all look really good second pic is my strongest looking lady. Just been giving water this week might wait another week to start feeding 1/8 nutes since they are in fox farm soil.

First leaf set is coming in nice, healthy, and way faster now that I’ve got them at an optimal temperature. Soils just barely starting to dry out I’ll give them a little drink before I go to bed tonight.

Added all 4 of them to their final pots today these 10 gallon pots I bought are definitely actually 8 gallon pots or something close to that lol. Temp is 76. Humidity is consistently 70%. Seedlings look strong and healthy!

They are still kicking been cranking the heat in the house and I have a heater outside the tent keeping them a bit warmer

Some of the weirder looking seedlings I’ve gotten I’m not really sure why. I know it’s a bit cold for little guys but I’m not sure how to keep it warmer in my tent for them. Any tips?
