New Grower 1st grow - Girl Scout Cookies Auto

[Shantam]

thanks again @MedCzech ! really appréciate your support !

okay i emptied the res (had to because it was closed to be empty) and add that bloom nutes per liter:

Bud Candy, Cal Mag Xtra and Rhino Skin : 1 ml
AN Bloom A+B : 2 ml (normally 3 ml but i started gently)

Nirvana and Big Bud are for next week..

I just added 5 liter to the res so that i could adjust with your next advices if i was wrong..

 

[MedCzech]

To be honest, that's still a lot of nutes. I would use half of that this week,and then go to 75% the following week and then full. Autos are different than photo periods and don't need so much food.
What week are you in?
Your ppm shouldn't be over 1000 right now for feed going in. Most growers of autos are between 600 and 850 at this point. Be careful not to overfeed. At the same time, watch the plants. Start very light and then you can always add a little.
Keep it goin!

oups, did not know that autos do not need as much as photo periods.. too late for this first feed..

i started on the first of July so i am closed to the 7th week..

concerning ppm, i just learned now what it is on google ^^ but i don't have any way to mesure it sorry..

today i can see the difference, really from yesterday they grew not only in the center but all around, and they drink too i'll have to feed them another 5 liter tomorrow morning.

Finally a stretch ? i pray for it !

Happy to say that they are still growing fine !

I did not lower the cobs as they are growing, now around 75 cm from the cobs

I stopped treating by spraying as advised me @MedCzech which was a good advice : they stopped growing during the time I sprayed them, so maybe they were shocked or i don't know if what i sprayed went to the ground and changed the ph..

anyway I'm using another way to protect them by vaporising gently some essential oils : lavenda, mentha piperita and lemongrass = most of the leafs are fine, some have marks but small part of them, don't know if it was old marks but it's not expanding.

they drink now around 5 liters a day, humidity aournd 50%, heat 25°
i received my dripclean friday so i mix it with the rest of the nutes 1ml for 10 liters

pics of the day ..

Ok, back on track. The affected leaves will always look that way and almost always get a little worse, but they will be fine.
I often have plants that don't look that good and have issues throughout the grow, and still they produce decent buds. New growers panic too quickly if they see problems on the leaves. We so want to act and solve issues fast if we can, but sometimes, even when we fix the problem, the plant will not look that great after. The new growth is the important thing.
You can have a plant that has a disastrous vegetative stage, and if you can solve her issues, she can have pretty nice buds even if the rest of the plant looks like a train wreck. Never give up on a grow until she is completely dead!!

Great job bro! Keep taking your measurements and keep things in line. She will produce for sure! It's not even that bad at all.

Yeah especially me, i used to panic very quickly, thinking the worst is going to happen.. but yes i learned and for me they look fine now !
Even on the acquavalve, there are roots there.

today last day of 1st flowering week, i will add from tomorrow some Nirvana and Big Bud.

I found on the ground some strange colors as you can see on the pics but as the plant itself is fine, i think it's because of the olive.oil-lime-soap that i vaporised on the leafs and which fall on the ground.. i don't know if it's necessary to remove it ? i let it there for now, don't want to disturb them..

Concerning the buds, the have hairs.. hum.. is it the normal size of hairs for the end of first week flowering ?

 

[MedCzech]

She looks great, but you need to do some defoliation on the lower part and get their flowing around that girl. That I said why the mold is there. You need to lollipop here a little bit. Do you know what that is? Basically remove everything now on the first couple nodes or anything that doesn't look like the light will hit it well. At least clear her out a little.
Other than that, you are clear to start the flowering nute schedule next week for sure. Any other questions, just let me know. Clean her out and she will really flourish!

Thanks again @MedCzech !

okay i did some defoliation on the lower part so that there is space all around the stem
after that i removed all the coco with mold and replaced it with new coco
and i directed the fan lower close to the base of the stem so that mold would not come here anymore
(the mold was completely dry.. as the coco for 1-2 centimeters)

i have now a little problem with the fans.. i have a fan controller but now the box is curved instead of being concave
i think the extraction does not work like before for an unknown reason..
could be the fan controller.. could be the pre-filter of the carbonfilter which is locked by.. the essential oils that i am using now.. but it's a very small quantity... far less dust than the humidifier (in fact close to nothing)
that is setting for the air :
Fan : systemair GAS RVK 150 L1 680m3/h for extraction and RVK 160 L1 - 670 M³/H for intraction
Carbonfilter : HY-FILTER + V2 CARBON 150mm 800M3/H
GSE Fan controller (for temperature, humidity, negative pression)

don't really know what it comes from but in the meantime i remove the intraction and the fan controller and just let the extraction work.. so now the box is concave again.

Can you just open any intake vents to let more fresh air in? I don't use an intake fan, I only use and extraction fan and circulation fans inside the tent.
