New Grower Need some experienced feedback!

[Cannabiskollektivet]

Hey AFN fam!

On my first grow, currently have 1 Fastbuds Blue Dream and 1 Dutch Passion Colorado Cookies going, they are on day 43 and I just want your general feedback on how the plants look, if they have developed enough budsites, coloration of the leaves and etc.

Specs of the grow:

Light: GN Telos 10 Pro 285W LED
Medium: BioBizz All Mix / Clay pebbles
Pot: 15L Autopots (i dont use the autowatering system as I need to learn to handwater)
Nutrients: Dare-To-Grow, used at half strenght at all times
Temps: 24-26c during daytime, around 20c during nighttime
RH: Sits around 40-50% during flower
Feeding schedual: Give them around 3L water each every 24-30 hours, water is PH:ed to between 6.5-7.0
Nutrients: Using 40-50% of the recommended dosage

The dutch passion cookie is at around 65cm in height, the Blue Dream sits at around 50cm atm.

Did some LST training at week 3, started defoliating 3 days ago, and keep picking of fan leaves on a daily basis to expose the lower buds to light penetration.

The attached pictures are from day 43 of the grow.

This might be a stupid question, but can you experienced people do an estimation of how many grams I might harvest from this? Ballpark guess just for fun. =D

That looks like a 3-4oz grow maybe. Looking good!

hello there mate excellent light your rocking i have myself two telos008s
ok so i dont use soil or your brand of nutes but in my experience the telos lights use up a bit more calcium and magnesium are you adding any
i notice the tops of the plants look to be getting pale is this your first grow with the light ? what distance is it from the tops ?
its hard to give you a guess about yield my two colorado cookies yielded 5-6oz between them they do all the bulking up in the last two three weeks so hang in there

Yeah I really like it, a bit expensive but seems worth it when I get the hang of this.
Yeah I'm adding 1ml of cal-mag to every liter of water im giving them, and im giving them around 3L water every 24hours. Should I up their cal-mag dosage a little? Distance from the tops currently sits at 40cm for the cookie strain and 60cm for the blue dream. @Trichome farmer

Lights don't consume Calcium or Magnesium, they run on electricity.

If your plants are showing a deficiency in either, one option is to consider increasing leaf temp and RH to lower VPD.

I disagree with trichome farmer's advice that adding supplemental calcium and magnesium together is a best practice. Soil additives are a last stop on addressing mild light bleaching or chlorosis of the leaves.

What temps and RH are you suggesting? I read that anything above 55% RH in bloom risk budrot, but then again I'm new to this I have not verified this information and cant say if they are from a trusted source within the industry!

82*F and 65% would be ideal for an LED grow indoors. At that temp, the plant will tolerate 75-45% humidity well and remain in the sweet spot of VPD.

Botrytis is possible in high humidity conditions, but humidity does not CAUSE Botrytis. You will certainly want to decrease RH as harvest approaches, but many people do just fine at 45-55%. The question to ask yourself is, "Do I want to grow my plant in too-dry conditions because I might get budrot? Or should I optimize for my plant's growth and address budrot if and when it might happen?"

Hmm, quiet hard for me to get that kind of temps and humidity in the tent right now. Looking to buy a bigger humidifier and a autmated temp activated heatfan but cant find it anywhere im afraid.

Another question, should I keep defoliating a little bit every day? Or do 1 bigger defoliation run every other week or so? @low_and_slow @Trichome farmer
