New Grower First Grow day 43, Opinions Welcomed

[Dominas999]

Morning AFN,

So I am on my first Auto grow (one single Fem Auto Wembley), havent done a journal or log but wanted to share my progress, without AFN she probably wouldnt be here...

Current growing conditions...

Run off PH, 6.4

Temp, 75-80F.

RH, 35-55%

1m x 1m x 2m area Mylar covered

600w HPS

Soil + large dry compost from gardening store (using coco or bio bizz next time)

9 inch fan for circulation

Feeding once every 3 waterings, which is normally every 3 days...

Feed I am using is GH flora pro series, just stopped the vegging nutes and introduced cal/mag in last feed...


Apart from my grow medium next time is there anything worth changing, this is my first grow and want to learn as much as I can along the way...

She now sits at 13" tall and battled her first 3 weeks on a window sill. On day 43 now vertical growth has slowed some what, got plenty of very small buds and noticed yesterday, a few trich's turning orange. I opted to follow advice from members on here (Blue, Yoda and Namvet to name a few) and didnt trim and tucked the leaves instead. Which you can see in the pics.

Any advice welcomed, thanks for taking the time to read

Dom

Welcome!

Looking good, but I think should feed them more than once in a 3 time watering period. I feed them with every watering. As I read the opinions sometomes different,but I think they love nutrie,speciall when they start to flowering.
Happy growing!

Ok thanks for you both for feedback, they need watering today so shall up the feed was juat paranoid about nute burn I think...

 

[stylez]

Just feed with 1/4 to maybe 1/2 recommended dose of the nutes. :smokebuds: you should be fine with that amount.

was juat paranoid about nute burn I think...

hoping for some fat frosty buds for you:High 5:

 

[botlowsky]

I just told, because I have have underfeeding (if this word exist sry about my english) problems before. If you give her to mutch she will show you, so no problem.

:smokebuds:Looks like you have a little leaf clawing going on that usually means to much nitrogen.If your going to flower nutes that should lower the nitrogen intake and help with the clawing. You should have been using calmag from the begining.I would increase your nutes to every other water at this point, or every water but in a lower dose.

 

[Dominas999]

Ok so gonna reduce to 1/4 strength and use at every watering, apart from changing to flower nutes is there anything else to reduce nitrogen intake?

Thanks again

 

[namvet25]

Not really but your flower nutes should be low enough in nit to help the leaves.This has happened to me but usually it doesn't hurt the plant so don't worry.

Update of first grow Day 58

Ok so the current state of the grow is,

plants now at 1ft tall x 0.75ft wide, all leaves are looking healthy, except bottom fan leaves which have just started to yellow, the curling I experienced that Namvet suggrested may be too much Nitrogen intake has subsided some what...

The cupboard itself is currently at 75.5 F. and a RH of 31%, lighting is on 20/4 setup.

Currently feeding Flora Bloom, Flora Micro, Cal/Mag every watering which is about every 3 days and have a run off PH at 5.8

Any advice will be welcomed and thanks for reading
