with a 1st grow....do as much sitting back watching the plant as possible :smoking: the aim of the game is to get some buds leave the best/perfect/pretty and massive to them with a few grows under their belts learn to ride a bike before learning how to do a burn out one step at a time and all that KISS keep it simply stupid...less is more....the less you do the less can go wrong....and something about il do it tomorrow
so your growing in compost...not soil and not coco ? if i dont remember il have to back up a page er 2

Hi mate, yeah basic multi purpose compost, I do have Coco (blocks) but the compost was taking up space in my she's so made the mistake of using it!! But we live and learn lol

I took the advise of it need nitrogen, so mixed 0.25ml with a litre of bottled water pH 6.4 and have been using a spray bottle to avoid over watering, basically damping the top of the pot with 150 ml of the mixture then leaving for a couple of days to ensure the pot does not get too soggy

Just a quick update, currently sat on day 27 and over the last 7 days we have seen some pretty decent growth, still only giving her water and calmag at the moment, the effected leaves from the over watering have stated to shrivel up but she's growing so not too worried about them. Still tucking the bigger fan leaves in to allow more light in but apart from that I have just left her to her own devices

A little update on day 34, so this week has been a learning curve!! From over-watering early on in her life to under-watering this week, I have learnt alot on the watering during this grow and noticed that she has got very thirsty lately. Watching her spring her leaves back up after a good watering put a smile on my face, but, still having some issues with yellowing leaves which I am hoping is a potassium issue, the leaves that was affected by my over watering have completely died and have been removed, I haven't introduced any bloom nutes yet, should I start adding bloom at this stage? The bud sites are developing and still new growth coming through on the stems, some stems look to have a slight purple/red tint to them, again hoping this would be down to potassium?? She is starting to give off her smell, albeit not very strong at the moment but a nice subtle sweet smell coming from her. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated on the potassium and bloom nutes,

Im not very experienced as mine have not got to the stage yours are in flowering but i would start on the bloom nutes at this stage. I use canna a & b so its a 2 part mix i started at week 3

The reason i chose coco over soil was down to watering its hard to overwater it.

Good luck dude

Ok so I THINK I have solved my problem with leaves yellowing and dying. After introducing biobizz bloom and topmax along with a big spike in calmag + the yellowing has stopped the leaves are perking up and new growth is appearing along the branches where the old dead leaves were removed. I have now lst some of the side branches to enable light into the new growth areas. The main bud is developing nicely and getting fatter, but I'm thinking this is going to be ready before the new growth has had chance to develope into anything, so might chop the main bud when it's ready and leave the rest to develope further, has anybody had any experience doing this and does it work?? Anyway here's some pics of how she is doing at 36 days

Sorry guys it's been a while, we are on 68 days and I have probably the most important question of all, when to harvest? I'm struggling to see the difference between clear and cloudy! Although I can definitely tell amber (there are some amber trichomes on some of the top leafs) She still has lots of white pistils say 65/35 white/amber. Any advice would be appreciated, I have put some pics below, thanks
