New Grower squadW first Journal

[squadW]

Howdy AFN, figured it’s time for an update. I topped the freebie cross and started some LST on the CannaCheese since it was a couple days behind and the cross was showing a little more vigorous growth. I also faced an issue with discoloration on the freebies top fan leaves and some clawing on the new growth on the CannaCheese. I believe it was caused by calcium deficiency due to the high humidity in the tent causing issues with water movement in the plants. I got my exhaust fan running and removed the bubbling water from the tent and they’re much happier now. Been giving dandelion FPJ and recharge every other watering. Appreciate all the PH tips, will likely go Bill’s route and use vinegar as we’ve got loads due to pickling.

If you post it in the infirmary there's a good chance someone can diagnose it.

How’s it going AFN, been some time and the girls have started the stretch pretty hard in the last 4 days after I chopped the cover crop down and top dressed with build a flower. I threw in a scrog net to help keep the canopy even and will be defoliating as needed to keep the bud sites in the light. Was a bit overzealous with nutes about a week ago and caused some clawing but I dialed it back and they’re responding pretty well now. Happy smoking!

Looks good dude. Are these autos or photos? Probably not necessary to have the scrog net just yet as those tops aren't fighting for space. Keep it up dude

Thanks! They’re autos from Mephisto, left is a freebie Samsquanch OG x Forum Stomper cross and right is a Canna Cheese. I can probably just let the scrog hang in the back of them tent then until they bush out a bit more I guess.

Alright nice man, they're a good shape for flower. Yup that's where my net is too haha, hanging at the back. Everything becomes a pain in the ass when it's in place

Bad news, I got some build a bloom from build a soil and since the girls were in flower I gave it to them entirely too early. Didn’t realize just how early it was as I’ve never used a PK booster and there’s not great instructions on the package lol. They’re fading hard already and we’re only at day 48. I just top dressed with some more build a flower and watered in with recharge, going to try to help them limp across the finish line and at least get something out of them before we try again next round.

I had a similar problem my last grow. I just gave her plain pH 6.5 water for 4 or 5 days and then slowly started reintroduced nutes. She kept some yellow leaves but everything else was nice and green.
