Update again! Everything has been going good it seems. Just patiently waiting and watching her grow. Lots of orange colors showing all around! Let me know what you think.

She's like a weed octopus with all those colas sticking up around the perimeter! Love it.

Great job man! This was nice thread to read this morning. Always great to see new growers learning and adapting with help from the wonderful folks here at the farm!

Make sure you have a good magnifier to check the trichs and start planning/setting up the drying/curing if you haven't already. Im excited to see the results!

Dude thank you so much. I really really appreciate that. I couldn’t agree more on the help from everyone here, I promise you this plant would have died if it wasn’t for yall. YouTube wasn’t the answer

Yes I just ordered one off Amazon so hopefully in the next couple weeks I’ll start seeing some interesting things. Thanks again seriously!! Can’t wait to share more

Another update for everyone. Im seeing lots of discoloration on the tips of the leaves, which I know happens late in flower. I just started week 6 of flower today, is this too early to be seeing the color change? Or is this even the same thing? Just trying to find out if it’s good, or bad lol. Other than that, loving the progress!! Smells are very potent when the tent is opened.

You probably have at least 2 or 3 more weeks until a true fade starts. Those brown/yellow tips are nutrient burn.

I was afraid of that. Do you think I should turn down my nutes for a feed or two, or completely cut them out for a couple feeds? I will say I gave a little less this last feed, but I wouldn’t say much less…

 

[Grownsince95]

Definitely don't completely cut it out, you're at peak flower now. When it happens to me I go back to the last feed level that looked healthy. I'm a coco grower though and I know it's different so hopefully the soil gurus will chime in and help.

10-4 understood. I can definitely cut back. I appreciate that advice a lot especially with that being my worry. Hopefully i can get her back, Thank you again

She's really fine though. I would say almost 9/10ths of us get some tip burn and it has no noticeable effect on the finished product. The trick is to never panic (unless it's bugs or PM lol) and make small, incremental adjustments.

Ah that’s great to hear I’m over here thinking she’s gonna be all messed up from it, basically panicking lmao. That’s a relief though.

Your first grow is going so well that you should be worried about replicating your success on the next grow.

Dude what….thank you so much. I really appreciate that. I’ll take as much credit that’s due, but it’s all thanks to everyone that’s replied on this thread and everyone I’ve messaged personally with loads of questions. This thing would’ve been dead on week 3 lol.

The best gardeners always worry and are attentive of possible issues. It is how you set yourself up for success. You are adapting, learning and fine tuning your technique. When growing you will always be problem solving. Every grow will have unique challenges like you have experienced. The final piece is patience. That is the hardest skill to master.

 

[Grownsince95]

I consider myself a good, knowledgeable grower but my threads are still full of boneheaded mistakes! Forgetting to set timers, UVb burn, thrip infestations...you name it and I've fucked it up. I once accidentally grew an entire tent of MALE clones!

Shit happens to all of us but we learn from our mistakes!

That’s for sure, the biggest thing that’s happened this grow is my knowledge for this stuff. There’s so much to take in and is all so interesting. Patience has been a pain in the ass though for sure

I hear you for sure. This first grow I’ve been so on top of everything that I overlapped some things, but some reading and asking questions got the job done. I read about a lot of possible problems that can come along and do whatever I can do to help prevent. Y’all’s experience is the #1 answer to all of it.

 

[Austinchaps24]

What’s up y’all!! Sorry for no update in a while, got a new phone and lost all my shit.

So since the last update, I think I’ve taken care of the nutrient burn, tips are still there but don’t think they’ve advanced. I think I’m starting to see a true fade now? I switched to flower January 15th, so I’m halfway through week 9. Strain is Green Crack and flowering cycle says it could be anywhere from 8-10 weeks. I think this next water I will do a mini flush and let her ride out till I cut it down. Let me know what you think!
