New Grower First plants Clawing and Discoloration day 23

Flushing is exactly what I wanted you to avoid. Fox Farms Ocean Forest is heavily amended. When you flush you will rinse out the more soluble nutrients leaving behind mineral elements and a poorly balanced soil of unknown composition. It is very difficult to get it back in balance then because you simply do not know what is needed. Flushing soil is an absolute last measure tactic in soil. In coco and hydro it can be a standard practice.

24/0 was the light schedule I suspected and can be a part of the plants poor performance. I have grown 24/0 and even though the yield was a little higher than 20/4 or 18/6 it was the poorest quality. After several experiments I grow at 18/6 and it is what I recommend you use.

The light is a little strong but I don't think it is part of the problem other than 24/0. I have plants 4 inches below >1000 PPF and they are not burning.

Today I accidentally snipped a small bud/branch, after breaking it down it seems I might have some seeds starting, does that mean all my plant hermed/pollinated? Bummer , but it’s my first grow so I’m happy to have gotten anything

You will just have to see at harvest?

do I have to worry about it stopping maturing buds now? Or will it just have some seeds? I’m not too worried about it as long as it’s still smokeable, I’ve smoked lots of seedy flowers before lol. I’m thinking this late in flower it can’t get too too bad right?

These plants have one job in life - Reproduce. Seeds happen. We all worry about it and try to stop it when we can but! Only time will expose the extent of pollination.

Bud rot? One of them is looking bad and I’m worried about Bud Rot, others look fine, I’m thinking I should maybe take this one down? DAY 60, the top cola is a diff color but I’m hoping it’s light bleach and not rot.

Update it is NOT seeds they are seedless. I took a small tester branch. I’m going to let the rest go another day or 3 all the hairs are orange and the trichs are milky, I think it will end up 65-70 days, not far off the 63 days Daz said it would be so I’m stoked. Could go longer if I wanted a bunch of amber im sure, but I like all milky with like 1-10% based off what I’ve smoked before.

I want to thank everyone who participated here in helping me get to harvest! I wont forget the kindness you all showed me.
