New Grower 1st Autoflower Grow - Critique

[BuddyLove]

it looks like everything is just fine. your vertical growth should be finished just about now. you should be giving it some type of bud candy, and move your lights as close as they can be without burning or bleaching your leaves. time to fatten the buds, and pour on the trichs! happy harvesting.

Yeah man looking good RF,now the bud fun begins :smokebuds:

 

[Muddy]

Yep, that's about right. Vertical grow pretty much stops by week 6. They might grow another inch or two but it will be all bud growth. Time to switch to flowering nutes.

Hi all,

Thanks for the confidence booster it was really helpful. :dance:


Staying the course for week 7 using Fox Farms nutes from their printed schedule for soil @1/2 strength ...

• Grow Big 2-Tsp/Gal
• Big Bloom 1-Tbl/Gal
• Tiger Bloom 1-Tsp/Gal
• 1-Tsp/Gal Molasses

My tingling rabbit senses tell me this is a juncture in the growing process where mistakes are dificult to recover from, just wanted to make sure that I was still coloring inside the lines.

Regards - RF

Seeking advice...



Noticed today the smallest yellow discoloration (less than 1/16-inch) at the leaf tips is this a sign that intervention is necessary?

I'm guessing nute burn?

If so, how should I proceed?


Thanks - RF

Don't panic Rabbit we can narrow this one down easily. Do you have anthrocyanin (red/purple pigments) present in the leaf stems? If so, then is this in the older leaves or the new ones?

Get us some more pictures of the plant's condition so that we can have more to go by..

Thanks for continuing to repeat this observation in the grower's forum. It is well truly stickied in my mind now, the timing of the switch is crucial to them reaching their full potential. I will not fall into the non-complacency trap next time round..

yeah, don't get too crazy about it just yet. in the stages of flowering, the plant will use up energy in its leaves as it packs on the bud weight. so some discoloration, and brown tips are normal. i would be alarmed if you notice a different shape in your leaves such as clawing of the tips, or drooping. look for happy angled up, out, and nice straight leaves. they look decent in that pic from what i can see. try adding some wider plant shots and more leaf pics too. like trifid says...don't panic. happy harvesting rabbit!
