After about a 6-7 day dry with fans on very low and eh 50-55%, I clipped her and jarred her to get about 2.4oz total! Not bad. Now the buds are in jars and one has fresh leaves I clipped to add moisture and the main colas have a moisture pack 62%. The leaves are actually working better than the moisture pack!

Harvest day! She got super cloudy and way more amber over the last two days. I wet trim some of the leaves to do something with later since they had a lot of trichs on them. I bent a lot of the branches to get the inner areas to hopefully allow more airflow. The dry tent is set at about 50% rh and has two fans blowing on low. The root system was pretty thin in the surrounding areas, but it had lots of thin roots. This made it hard to break up the soil. The main root was also surprisingly small for the yield imo. But this is my first time harvesting and taking a look as soon as it was over.

Gave her a full watering Monday into Tuesday, so a day early. I used filtered tap water this time and added the usual amendments with 3tspn bb, SHE IS NOT GETTING ANYMORE GB, and 1tspn tb, realized I forgot to add the second, and then added it to finish watering. I noticed her leaf tips are curling down. I got a jeweler’s loupe today and I’m able to see the trichomes! I see a lot of amber on the main bud, but the others are still clear to cloudy. Noticed no difference the next day after using tap water!

Going to water her today with regular ph water, molasses, and myco with NO NUTES. I switched the places with her sister and she’s not sitting at around 760 par. She’s definitely stacking up still and some hairs are turning orange. I also introduced the new ac infinity t4 I have and adjusted the fan to have a consistent exchange of air and to speed up as needed for heat or humidity. Notice the new spots on the leaves she’s showing. New info I’ve learned says she’s rich in nitrogen? Says the dark green color she has. And the upper leaves are effected so it’s not a mobile nute issue…

Gave her a full watering today with 3tspn bb, 1tspn gb, 1.5 tb with myco and molasses ph to 6.5. I added more water this time to really make sure everything is saturated. She got about 60% of a gallons worth of feeding. Some hairs are changing to orange! New rust spots, but she’s definitely stacking up now! So cool to see. My question is, she had a pungent odor before in veg, but now there’s not much… why is that? Did I mess up?

At lights off she’s been droopy but at lights on she’s perky and ready. She’s getting around 700 par and seems to be happy. She didn’t look droopy when I checked on her this morning. Also noticed a new rust stain on a higher up leaf.

She’s flowering more! Nice canopy and lower sites have light. So this says she’s getting 721 or, she seems to be tired by the mornings by time so maybe I need to raise the light and lower the or a little? However, by sunrise she’s waiting for the light! She is also darker than her sister but has brown rust spots. Cal/mag sisters?

Gave her a full watering and first feeding. I gave her 2 tspn Big Bloom, .5tspn Grow Big, .5tspn Tiger Bloom with molasses and myco ph balanced in a gallon. This was split between both plants in flower. Both had a solid amount of runoff and were fully saturated. I noticed some rust spots on some lower fan leaves, I have to look up what this means. I realized the tape was basically peeled off of the broken site! I decided to peel it back and it seems to have completely healed to an extent, but I see a knuckle and some dried up inner stem that turned white. SUCCESS!

JHdz96

JHdz96 I read your information about the grow medium you’re using, and from experience, the “rust” on the lower leaves are from a lack a magnesium. FFOF tends to not carry a whole lot of calcium or magnesium and most times needs a cal/mag supplement around day 30-40 from seedling. Cheers, good luck mate.

ZaddyXL

ZaddyXL Thanks boss! I was thinking calmag but I’ve never had to diagnose so I wasn’t confident

Overnight she started to droop again, raised the light by an inch to bring it to 14” which is 2” below where it was when she was happy. Can’t tell if it’s heat stress or light related. The INKBIRD app says it didn’t go above the usual 82degrees so everything has been consistent. She bounced back after adjusting the light to 700ish par. I’m no longer going off of height I’m trying to go off of readings of par. She’s showing some frost!

piperboy007 Sometimes the plants leaves will just droop and praise throughout the day, dont know what causes it tho hut doesnt seem a sign of anything bad

ig:@eaegifts

ig:@eaegifts @zaddyxl growmie plants sleep during lights out so leafs droop down and raise back up in the day. Look up a plant time lapse video you’ll see what happens at night

I turned up the lights yesterday to 100% and lowered it to just a foot above the canopy. She looks happy as usual, but this morning had a slight hang. And by that I mean she’s flat instead of perked up. I removed the lst ties and raised her off the floor to keep the or even with the floor plants. She’s receiving about 975 par on my fake par reader app. When I got home she was droopier (4th pic) Gave her a full watering about a half gallon for the entire pot with myco and molasses ph balanced of course. Update: she’s doing fine and perked back up to flat after watering. Lowered the light back to 80% power and about 800 par so she can recoup. I didn’t know we didn’t need to raise the lights for flower 😬 16” away at 70% power was 560 par and she was the happiest. 12” at 80% should be plenty! I’m also noticing some trichomes and sugar leaves!!!

ke4ua This is a good looking plant. I’m growing the exact same plant as you in my current grow to that’s only 2 days in so far. Really love how you documented everything day by day. Noticing any difference from watering in the Myco?

ZaddyXL Thanks, I try to be thorough so I can at least guess what went wrong or right later. This is my first time using myco and my first time with autos so I can’t really gauge a difference, sorry

Tragedy! Did a lot of defoliating and training, but accidentally snapped the tip of the main stem. I didn’t realize how stiff and thick the stem has gotten. I duck taped her asap and put a q tip to stabilize her. Im goin to leave her alone for a few days to recoup. Almost every node is getting light. Turned the exhaust off to let the humidity rise.

Vegging hella hard, I was told that removing a fan leaf wouldn’t kill off the shoot above it, so I removed a leave that were shading a few shoots, so much better letting the light penetrate the shoots this way. She is still loving the environment and training! Very perky and raised. Lots of leaf tucking! Made chicken with the leaf cuttings and she was super dank! Tasted how she smelled 😂

We looked very happy and excited at lights on today! Did a little leaning on her for the new side shoots. Gave a full water till run off and then some in the surrounding area. About a quarter of a gallon was all she needed. The water also had maybe a half a teaspoon of mycorrhizae. And I rotated the pot

She looks happy! She’s showing her first side shoots too! Waiting another day before watering. Humidity has been a consistent 60%. I lowered the lights to 20” instead of 24”. The pat reading went from about 200 to 320. Which is weird because the other light reads 360 at the same distance. Added co2 and left her alone. I went back and lowered her light specifically. Her light is now at 18” to read about 420 par to match with the crit mass. Maybe this is why she was leaning towards the more powerful light?

Looking great! Got the humidifier today and it’s a consistent 55%-60% rh! Very happy girl! She’s showing shoots from the lower nodes! LST soon. Fans on maybe 60% along with lights 60% still. One vent open and no exhaust.

Day: 11

Her tqcoing calmed tf down thank god. She’s leaning toward the other light, I wonder why? She came in a lil crooked but she’s continuing the curve. Lots of growth on the second level, humidity was around 47% all day because the humidifier didn’t show up yet. Squirted a lil co2 at lights on. Added a shelf to the tent to germinate on the side.

Caliban They constantly turn with breeze and light strength. Rotation helps and an indirect fan strengthens the stem. They look 👍

Day: 10

I gave her a good watering and topped off with a little mycorrhizae mixed in water. Lately I’ve been spraying the leaves a little as well. The color looks like it should, but the top leaves were tacoing. She relaxed after the watering and I closed a vent on one side to bring the RH up to 50%. May try some lst tomorrow. Should you lst just before lights out? Or just before lights on? 🤔

Everything looks a healthy hue of green still. Lights are curling a little, but hopefully this added humidity helps lower that. Sprayed the soil and leaves lightly with water and CO2. Getting a humidifier soon but the rh has been ~40% all day and ~78 degrees. Lights at 60% and still 18/6

Nothing to report besides we’re looking healthy and we’re showing the first three pointers! She is loving her environment entirely! Soil is still moist. Trying sponges in a tray of water to fix the humidity, moved the fans closer to the tray. So far with the lights at 60% the temp stays at ~79F and humidity sadly at 32%.

Caliban Add a small humidifier. You won’t regret a $20 spend.

Caliban Just a cheap one with a dial. Mine holds 1g. I think I got it locally at Walmart.

Day: 6

The extra 20% of light (60%) added heat. She took the light shift like a champ! She’s very resilient thus far unlike crit mass who seems a little more sensitive to temps and moisture. I had to add moisture to the jars since the exhaust and fans were on a lot to deal with the heat. Lowered the light to 50% for today’s run since I won’t be able to tend to them till tomorrow. Soil seems moist enough for a dry spell, hopefully this isn’t the wrong call. Sprayed the soil lightly.

I lifted the jar since the critical mass was showing signs of distress and I got nervous. She got so happy! Look how perky she is! No water and keeping the jar lifted. Raised the lights to 60% and they both responded well. The extra 20% however is adding some heat so I added the exhaust and dual fans with a cup of water and paper towel for moisture now that air is moving.

I moved the thermo probe to the level of these lil dudes. It was about a degree difference. Grew a bit over the blackout. Does not need watering! She looks happy! Wondering when I should turn the lights up, rn at 40% @100W light. I also added a 2 second squirt of co2 from the tank into the jar before placing it down. I doubt it’s doing anything, but we’ll see!
