Junior Grower Grow 00 Auto White Widow

Day 65, just come back and one of them looks bad. Those leaves covered with yellow stains. I have to figure out what's wrong with it. The other 2 is just ok.

The plants are near the end of their cycle (life) and the needs are changing to the extent that they are beginning to cannibalize low priority leaves to stabilize themselves systemically. In short, what you're seeing is natural. The nitrates in the soil are nearly depleated and the calcium is not being uptaken to an ideal extent as the result, but I wouldn't fret too much. What do the trichomes look like in ratio of clear:cloudy? Your bump in calmag will definitely help slow the spread of more damage, but the damage already done will not become better. That's fine though. Leaves are multi-purposed, they not only collect energy, but then store it for later consumption if need be, just like our bodies do with fat and muscle.

2 of them got a few amber color trics. The yellow leaves got 80:20 clear cloudy trics. Still long way to go.
 
Go to your local garden center and ask about "benefical bacteria" to see what they have.
BB is needed more in soil as it regulates the PH, keeps roots cleaned of excess exudates and also liberates ions (plant food) from the media. I assume (but don't yet know for certain) that all soil has bacteria to at least a minimal extent, but there are certain strains of bacteria that we try to work into the soil to improve the relationship the plants have with the soil. Ask if they have "Earth Worm Castings". Also, can you order things from the USA?

Local shop doesn't sell anything related to "beneficial bacteria", they did not have "earth worm castings" too, but they do sell goat shit. In fact, most of the shopkeeper doesn't even know PH matters for plant. I can order things from USA, but not liquid for sure.

PH does matter, but when in soil, the microbes manage that. You need to research what benefits there are to amending your soil with goat shit. If I were you, I would read up on that Korean Natural Farming technique as it is most likely inclusive of things found in your part of the world. Even if you don't fully commit, you will still learn what to look for at your garden store to amend your soils with. If you want to look at prices and contemplate shipping costs, there are a borad selection of mycorrhizae in powder form which can be watered into the soil and when mixed with water and elements will settle millions of colonies of microorganisms that will feed your roots and work to correct the soil shortcomings. I use Great White to make "actively aerated compost tea", but you can skip the tea and just add the powder to the soil and water it in with a mild solution of water and molasses. Can you locate molasses? It's a brown syrup made from sugar cane, but it has micro nutrients in it as well as the carbs which will feed soil microbes. That said, if you can get you a jar of it, likely from a grocery store, add 1ml of molasses to one liter of water and water it in. Don't do this frequently, but maybe once a month to keep the microbes you do have stimulated.
 
Very well done sir! That hanger full looks about 3 times your first harvest in yield. :goodjob:

Edit - regarding beneficial bacteria, I recommend a Real Growers Recharge product of any quantity because of it's ease of use. It has everything mixed right into product, so you just mix it with water, agitate thoroughly, then pour into the roots. I used this for about a year and a half before reverting to the complicated process of making a compost tea.
 
Perfect! As you grow more and try new things, you'll find out that after you dry most of the bud material, and sweat in your camera chamber that it is the sticks that are still sweating and re-wetting the buds. You can leave the stems on longer for a slower cure or remove the branches ASAP to complete the dry, and it will be totally up to your preferences which strategy to go by.
 
All 3 plants been harvested, i got total 83g dried buds and 1 full jar of sugar leaves. Tried them on vaporizer, got guava fruit like smells, and the effect last much longer than my first harvest.

Thanks for all the help guys, although I got better harvest, but i believe there's rooms for improvement.

It's part science and part feel to identify when is the perfect harvest time, but also everything leading up to the harvest influences the result as well. If you can create a 2nd grow space with air filtration as well, you can start a perpetual grow that will not only produce a very steady supply of herbs, but also allow you to perform the duties of each stage of growth about every 2 weeks which will allow you to hone your growing skills faster. I harvest a plant every 3 weeks about, and soon that will be tripled to about one every week, so I will need to juggle well, but also it helps me keep fresh with all that is involved which further helps me learn things faster, test new ideas and feeds etc etc etc, and the byproduct for all that learning and fun is a lot of buds, lol.

If you have a 2nd area, you can have a dedicated veg for 18/6 lights and ddicated bloom for 12/12 lights. With timed cloning, you can produce a copy of a plant in 2 weeks time, veg it for 3 weeks, then put it in bloom, then repeat.

300 sq/ft room is a luxury in my city, i do not have space to put extra tent. A friend of mine are willing to keep plants in veg as long as he can, and we can clone non stop.

Those buds are not fully dried yet, i have to open the dry box and put it near fan. From 70% RH it is now reduced to 65%. Will keep doing this until it reach 60%.

Glad you are well Grower!
:reading420magazine:

Yup, thank god. I am growing Barneyzs Farm Cookies Kush right now. Sprout been formed, will open another journal soon.
 
Hope all is well in your world.

Thanks for sharing this grow with us.

Please head over to the 420 Strain Reviews forum and post your smoke report there too.

I’m moving this to Completed Journals now.

Have you started a new grow you would like to share with us?

If so, please feel free to start a new journal here: Journals in Progress

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.

:Namaste:
