I haven't used them enough to notice the change Cotarakos, one crop a year, then from October to May everything goes in the closet.
Hey Irie, flushed them out last Friday and the leaf discoloration has stopped. I'm letting the soil dry out a little before I start feeding them 1/2 strength nutes. Photo's coming, long weekends always mess me up for the day of the week, especially now that I'm semi-retired.Hey OWG - are you sure you've got a nutrient lock out? I would of up'd my nutrient feeding a bit as they're looking hungry and then see if your leaf discoloration continues. I'm afraid the flushing could worsen your problem if you do not have a nutrient lock out.
How are things looking now?
Got to love those closest, I'm always in a closet, mines just a walk in closet
Sounds like a good plan.
I hear ya on that!long weekends always mess me up for the day of the week, especially now that I'm semi-retired.
The sisters seem like they're doing okay after the flush, growth is good and colour is marginal. Here's what happened
It is too early in the plants life cycle for your leaves to be discolouring so drastically. The plants are hungry and if you do not sort it out soon all the yellow leaves will start dropping and your growth will slow down rapidly and the plant will not have enough energy to produce the flowers you are looking for.
I have not used these nutrients but they are common among cannabis growers. Did you get the 3 part range? Grow, micro, bloom?
Keep mind,these are autoflowers, their life cycle is based on time not the number of hours of light. Both of them have been in the ground for 8 weeks, the seed supplier states that they will be ready for harvest in roughly 8 - 10 weeks. Given our recent heatwave and their rough start, I'm assuming they should be ready at around the 10 week mark. The trichome production has started and they have another two weeks to get frosty. They've had the three part Ph Perfect nutes twice in the last 6 days.Hey my friend.

I'm worried you may have flushed all the goodness out of your soil. You'll need to do a couple good feedings to get things back on track

Love that set up onewarmguyOkay folks I'm starting to stress a bit now, the girls have been in soil for 20 days now and have only grown to a height of less than 2" and I'm not happy especially with the Royal Cookies still only the two true leaves!Can anyone offer some advice?
I've had my grow enclosure set up and running for a day now so they've gone from 240W CFL to 1000W HPS, I'll be repotting into 5 gal cloth geopots in a day or so. Hopefully I'll see some major growth by my next entry. I'm actually kinda proud of my enclosure, the white membrane I've lined it with is actually has a better reflective index than the mylar that lines a lot of grow tents, I used zip ties to secure it to a wire grid and lined the floor with the same membrane. The 1000 W HPS bulb heats the place up substantially but I've got a fan blowing air into the enclosure to keep it cooler. I'm thinking I might have to upgrade my smoked safety glasses to welding goggles it's so bright under those lights when I get out from the enclosure I literally can't see for a few moments, it's like a 3' diameter flash went off in my face.
Anyhow, I hope the move to the stronger light and bigger pots makes a positive difference in my growth rates, I'll be starting to gradually add nutrients once they get into their big girl pants. Again, can anybody offer me any advice about the Royal Cookies, she's an indica autoflower hybrid that I've never grown before, it the behaviour normal?
Here's some pics.
Thanks Cotarakos, I'm rather proud of it, I can increase the height of the enclosure to about 5 feet if necessary using the folded material, it's quite stiff at roof temperatures but gets flexible if it's warmed up somewhat. I've included some rather nice photo's of trichomes this week, check em out and let me know if you think I should submit for photo of the month.
Hey Irie, check out the new pics the White Widow and Cheese are in full trichome production and I got some nice macro shots. The buds on the Cheese are massive!Hey my friend.

I'll give it a "shot" it'll take several pics before I get anything usable, the depth of field when taking photo's at that kind of magnification is less than 1/2" and the slightest movement of the camera throws everything off, I can't use a tripod because it won't let the camera get in close enough to focus. I'm thinking of entering photo 8260729 from the Canuk Cheese although I might crop it a little, it shows the pistils in both colors and trichomes at both the clear and cloudy stage.
, it was supposed to be a feminized autoflower from Royal Dutch seeds, it's chopped and in the trash bin. Given that it was producing pollen I'm going to assume that it fertilized my White Widow and Canuk Cheese and harvest them tomorrow, they may not be at the absolute peak of perfection but they're pretty damn close from the looks of them. Stay tuned for the harvest report.
, but that might have something to do with it forming seed. I'll try vaping a bud later this week, but I think I might just see how much rosin I can get out of it. Comments?
