New Grower First Grow- Autobubble

[Dreadlow]

Yeah man that does help, thats quite a minute amount! They will be due a feed tomorrow so I'll put 6tsp molasses and 1tsp epsom salt into their normal 6 litres of water and hope that does the trick! I know a bit of yellowing is natural at this stage, but I reckon they're yellowing too much. I think I'll throw an extra 0.5ml/l grow in just in case theres a N deficiency, but im wondering.. as im getting burn leaf tips I reckon I'm right on the tip of what nutes the plants can take, should I reduse the bloom nutes by the same amount?

Dazed, grim, thank you for the advice. Bandit, thanks and I hope that helped you too. I'll let you know how it goes.

Peace & love

If i can remember correctly it was one tablespoon of Epsom Salts and Molasses to one Us-gallon of water, which works out at about 3 ml per litre over this way. In my experience you will need to gradually up those dosages after a couple of weeks,up to nearly double the amount.
It's always a good idea to inspect the inside of your pots when the grow is finished. The white deposits on the pot walls are the salts. Some is normal but a heavy buildup indicates a buildup. Not something to be overly concerned about, just be aware and check your pots after the grow. As long as you feed enough to get about 10% run off it's usually not an issue.

Hey bro, what I have learnt over the past few months is, yellowing from the bottom and leaves eventually going crispy and dying off is lack of N-unless they are fully in bloom and towards the end of the cycle. This is a trait found in most plants, they are hungry so using up N from the leaves. Do you have any red stems? That is usually a trait of N def, where as Mg def will not show red stems, they will look normal color.

I had issues with N for my first few grows and have learnt that cannabis is very much like tomato plants, they love Nitrogen. The amounts of e salts and molasses you've worked out should work out great for you bro, just read the plants and see what they tell you! I wouldn't drop the bloom feed, maybe its just that N needs topping up a bit?

Another point for ya bro, why would you think that all the plants require the same amounts of nutes? Every plant is different, and from the pics I'm not sure that the symptoms you are seeing are the same on each plant. It's hard to tell and I don't want to give you any advice that would compromise your grow buddy. I can only speak of my own experiences but if one plant looks like N def, Mg def or whatever, that doesn't mean that's the problem with the one next to it, just food for thought bro. Burnt tips are for sure a sign your on the edge with the ferts, clawing etc is the next stage-do they all show signs of overfeed? Does the one with the yellow bottom leaves also show signs of too much feed?

This is all just my opinion-trying to help you out buddy, karma bro.

Dazed..





Nitrogen.


Magnesium.

Hey dazed my man, thanks for the input. Your spot on dude, only number one is showing the yellowing, although she is farther along than the others and I think in full flower now so could be natural yellowing.. the reason why I have been giving the plants the same until now has been convenience but I'll nip that in the bud as, like you said, they dont all have the same needs. I'll add some extra grow into number 1's feed only, hopefully that will help. They all have the rusty spots though so they will all get the molasses and epsom now with every feed until the last week or so. Thanks for that one bro, for some reason the idea they all have different needs just didn't enter my mind! The photos were also a big help dude, that pic of N deficiency looks pretty much bang on with what I'm seeing. I'm not seeing any signs of overfeeding other than singed tips, no clawing that I can see.

And thanks for the dosage help grim, as a US gallon is 4l, and I give my plants 2l each per feed, thats pretty simple to work out so thank you very much.

Cheers for the help guys, rep slaps and high fives for everybody!

Peace & love

DAY 47 - WEEK 7

okay time for a little update and some photos. Temeratures still inside optimum zone, and started adding epsom salts and molasses with every feed fom yesterday.

Number 1-
Her buds are getting pretty chunky now, putting the other two to shame! Glorious smell coming off her too. The yellowing of the leaves is definately getting worse and creeping up the fan leaves. I gave her an extra o.5ml/l biogrow as im pretty sure its a N deficiency, and next geed I'll up to an extra 1ml/l and hope that helps. She's quite the looker i think, but then im quite biased lol

Number 2
Im starting to worry a bit that shes not budding up fast enough, she stretched quite a lot more than the others and the space between the nodes on the tops are quite large, a few inches on some. Do any of you have experience with plants like this? Will it be a problem at all?

Number 3
Doing well for herself and budding up quick! She's the healthiest looking in my opinion, i hope she bulks out quite a lot though, shes very short and squat. A little bit of yellowing on a couple of leaves, but theres not much light down there and hopefully thats been sorted now anyway.

Here's another comparison shot:

And another of them looking all sexy under the lights:

A big thank you to everyone reading this and supporting me, i wouldnt be anywhere without you

Peace & love

And here's a little bud shot

 

[Grim Reefer]

Number two will be fine man, some plants take a little longer than others. She will more than likely take you past the 80 day mark until she is ready to be harvested. The rest all look like they will be done very soon 60-70 days.

 

[ThaGreenBandit]

Number one is getting chunky buds! As Reefer said, I think Number 2 will be just fine, she's just a slow bloomer and will most likely go past the 80 day point. You'll get that N deficiency handled, Dread. Just don't panick like I did and start making up problems in your head, trying to cure issues that aren't even there!

 

[Dazed]

Looking very cool buddy, remember the yellow fans will not go back to green however much you grow you use. I don't think it's too much to worry about at this stage as long as it doesn't go crazy, clearly isn't effecting the buds they look swell.

All three plants look awesome bro, going to be killer in a few weeks!!!!

Cheers grim, that's all fine with me, i would hate to rush her! If she goes a bit longer it means she will get the light all to herself for a bit.... means i will have to rethink my drying strategy for either of the others if they finish first though. I was going to use the tent, but i also have a fitted closet which is empty. Theres no ventilation though and a cant put any holes in or anything. Would it work to leave the door ajar? And sick a fan in for air movement? I've read that they shouldnt have fans directly on them too... i want to be prepared for when the time comes!

Yah dude, I'm trying to stay one step ahead of the game with my research and try my best to be prepared! I'm not usually one for panicking, It would be heartbreaking to lose it at this stage though! Just holdin the course bro, topping up my grow nutes just to keep everything sweet. If you have any opinions on what I've aked grim, above, i would love to hear them. Thanks for the support dude, can't wait to see your next project start!

Thank you so much dazed! Yeah i figured thee was no coming back for the leaves once the plants sucked all the goodness out of them, I'm trying to slow down the spread on number 1 though, she'll be out of leaves within a week if it doesn't haha! I'm pretty sure she's going to be done early.. hoping to fatten her up as much as possible first though! Like i said to bandit, if you have any wisdom for me in regards to drying weed in a closet, please let me know! Take it easy bro!
