Looks Like We Got Buds :-)

That close up of the leaf bottom; what's the deal with those little necrotic circles?
Are they expanding, or just stable scarring from bug bites?

Definitely a Ca-. just flushing with 7.3 phd water to bring ph up again. Worked last time i had an issue hopefully will again. P/Ca/Mg all locked out :-( I done a folliar spray with epson salts a short while ago so should'nt have issue with Mg.

I think i may have solved the strain mystery for 2. 2 plants stink of lemons :) Does anyone know, does super lemon Haze smell of lemons. I would'nt know as ive never seen the strain other than in pics. One of the others was the colour yellow of lemons for a week or so lol (P-/Ca-) but does'nt smell of lemons.

Week 5 flower. Alls good so far :) Deficiencies seem to be slowly improving. Now have dehumidifier, keeping RH about 35 - 40 %. temps still quite high,up as much as 85 f :-( Weathers hot and only air exchange and cooltube to cool. I think its this Dual spectrum bulb, very hot. Having to keep tent open and close at 6.00 am.

Tent open temps around 74 - 81 f. Have got some proper agricultural grade mollases :) stinks good ha ha. Was looking everywhere for kelp, got some Alga mic. Now feeding 2ml per ltr Alga mic/ 4ml per ltr Biobloom and 2 tablespoons of Molasses per 5 ltr.

Hello :-) anybody there ?

When you say proper molasses, do you mean unsulphered?

Im here, First thing i notice is some of your hairs look like they are dying off I dont like to see this with most strains( tangie does this week 4 to 5) until later this tells me conditions are not perfect. I dont like it getting that hot, i would start to turn down the ballast to keep to 80( lower in the last few weeks 76 0r 78) at this point in flowering. If your not running Co2 get some buy one of those bags anything. Added co2 will help them cope with heat. Can you bring in another 6 inch duct on a inline fan for more cool air. Or pick up a ac. Need to get those temps down more toward the end for super hard dense heavy nugs need it cool. Good Job on the Dehumidifier. Fish

Yes unsulphered Homesteader. Real thick stuff for horses :) I was using the grainy stuff and not the treacly stuff, ha ha Dumb beginner lol :-)

Thanks @Fishmaster42. Im going to swap bulb tonight for HPS im sure its the heat from the Dual spectrum. Hopefully that will help. I cant afford an ac at the moment but definitely getting one next time. Its been a nightmare this first grow keeping temps correct. Temps are staying down at around 78 f when tent is open, would just like to close it and not have to trek up there at 6.00 am every morning to close it up lol. Im going to invest in a ac/humidifier/dehumidifier. The Dehumidifier im using is borrowed. The hairs seemed to die after a night of heat but new white hairs are still coming. Dont want things going wrong now :-( P.s. its only one plant thats getting brown hairs. Thanks for your input Bro.

I have tried to fight a summer grow without an AC myself and its not easy. Maybe a sitting bucket of ice water during the hottest hour can cool it down a few degrees. Not easy though without an AC. I don't really know all that much about venting but maybe you could ask around and see if your fans are rated correctly.

When i read how to work out fan size, the person had forgotten to mention the need to add 25% for carbon filter :-( . Removed Carbon filter and negative preasure was regained. The filter was no loss it was a waste of space lol. going for Rhino filter and fans next time. Im venting outside so that should'nt be a problem. I think the combination of warm outside temps and Hot Dual spec are the problem. I was just saying to Fishmaster42 that im going to swap bulb to Hps later :-) Hopefully it will be a little cooler.

Are you intaking the air from a cool spot? low shaded area maybe?

We are right beside a woodland and the side im venting from is shaded. Im just relying on negative preasure to draw air through inlet. Im going to definitely take Fishmaster 42 advice and get a small inline fan to vent in.

Hi folks. Just a quick update. Temps today 78 f RH 45% so very happy and girls probably happier :-) Given a good feed so even happier :-) Got a Hermie though :-( Only 1 bud at the moment seems to be producing bananas and what looks like seed pods. Ive isolated for now with a plastic bag, just going to keep an eye, if it gets worse, chop ! Shame its got the bigger buds :-( But still this is a first time experimental grow and im happy to have learned so much about thios amazing hobby. Now looking forward to doing Northern lights coco grow next :-)

Youve got one big fat seeded hermie there mate ;)

I know :) its one of the better looking plants to :-( But still cant have it all ways. Was really lucky that they were females really, from bag seed. The question is should i chop ?

If you don't mind plucking seeds from your bud and smking some pollen along with it then I can only say let them finish. Otherwise cut your losses and start over with some better seeds or clones.

Well Ive got this far, may as well carry it through now. Thanks Bro :-) Ive got some fem Northern lights seeds waiting :-) Doing those next, coco.

hell no dont cut early your using your own meds so what if a seed is there. we harvest with a eye loop or now days a cell phone camera zoomed to max with flash on. when you see some % amber then you should have been done flushing. I flush when i see most cloudy white then flush a few days then chop and hang in a cold dry place.

Not going to harvest yet bro :-) like you say a few seeds wont hurt. Just glad I made it this far :-) I'll try the phone thing later. I took some pics close up of trichs but didnt have flash on. Thanks for advice man :-)
