New here: Looking for feedback

[HaanfSolo]

Hi Growmies!!

Just looking for feedback.
Moby Dick Auto, 5 weeks, DLI 38ish. RH: 58-63%, Temp: 21-22c. Started Canna Terra Veg, Rhiz, Zym ca.@ 3 week-ish, added boost in 5th week Using a quarter of the suggested amount. Flushing approx every 3 watering sessions.

Stopping LST now. Yes, one plant has highlighted tips, trying to get it under control.

Just looking for feedback.

How big is your tent and how many plants are you growing?

Yes, one plant has highlighted tips, trying to get it under control.

I know of two causes. It's commonly attributed to excess nutrients. Also possible is VPD too high (humidity too low or temperature too high). Yours kinda looks like excess nutrients, so feeding that plant less might help. Plants vary in their needs for nutrients.

I have a 5x5 and have 6 in there. 11l pots.

Thought it may be nuts as well. Appeared after I used boom boom after lst‘ing. I’m already giving all just a quarter of the suggested amount of nuts but I guess I could give her even less.

How they looking otherwise? I feel like they’re pretty short

white/yellow tips can be from needing calmag or early signs of light stress

There's no such thing as a "perfect" plant or a "perfect run." However, the over-all appearance is that they are healthy. I voted "they look good."

There's still a lot involved though. keep posting pictures and you'll get the help you need. If something sounds way out there or extreme ... ask. You're off to a good start.

Strange is: it’s only that one plant.

If its one plant, where is it in relationship to the light?

I've actually had arguments with growers who insisted they had a deficiency when I could clearly see the light burn pattern in the plant that matched the board above it. This doesn't mean your plant is being stressed by the light, but it should be looked at. The gentleman (@GNick55) who made the observation is usually on target ... and when he might be off a bit, he's still well in the ballpark.

One thing I saw in your response above is that you're "done" with LST. I hope what you really meant is you're done with training for now. You'll be circling back to that once your plants stretch. You may want to determine now while you still can how you want to support them when they begin to gain weight during flowering.

Thank you. This is my second run with autos. The first was good but of course I made several mistakes. Noted them and am taking counter measures.

My response to that is auto-flowering plants don't necessarily translate to easy to grow cultivars especially for a beginner. Just food for thought here ... photo-period plants don't flower until you change the light cycle. Because of that, you have time with photos to correct issues. The same is not true with autos. They are on an internal time clock and can be very unforgiving if mistakes are made.

With that said, grow what you want. Modern autos are much better than the ones from even just a few years ago. Just don't fall into the trap thinking auto means easy because that's not always true.

I agree with Nick, cal/mag deficiency

after all plants do not have the same needs

Yeah learned from the first run, less is more. And, understanding the whys as opposed to what people say such as „just blast them, lights full power - autos can take it@. No.
Trying to „master“ this strain before moving on to other.
I previously ran photos, using clones from 6 mothers I had.

I’ll give her a bit next watering sessions, see what happens. :)

The plant is in the right corner.

And yes, that’s what I meant, done with training for now. May touch up when in early bloom and then a complete stop later in bloom.

On my last auto run, I did notice all plants that were in the corners grew slower. I had 9x in there.

Like I said, things look good so far. It sounds as if you do have at least a bit of experience growing bud ... that makes everything easier for sure. Keep it up, you're doing well so far!

Magnesium issues seem to develop earlier on during veg under LED's. Calcium tends to show its ugly head more during flower. If you're showing signs of budding, use the cal-mag. If no signs of flowering yet, epsom salts is my go-to at 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. Use your judgement though along with "less is frequently more." The plants are in front of you. Too much calcium causes lock-out of other minerals, especially magnesium. It also has a tendency to accumulate in the soil. However not enough will limit bud development and you'll diminish your yield.

Makes sense.!! Thanks!

sorry for jumping in but what grow medium are you using and how much water you give them and how do you know it’s time to water them?

Soil. Plagron light mix. I water them approx every 4 days. Lift the pots to feel and soil approx 4cm. Give them approx 1-1.5l each.

 

[figolus]

in my current culture, I add cal/mag at the end of the stretch, 1 watering out of 2 with half the dose and seeing my buds, they don't seem to complain...

ok sounds good,.
what light you got and what settings and how far from plants?
