Little update, she had to come down on 5/4, day 87. I will definitely stake her up better next time and train for sure. Was going to let her go another 2 weeks.

Why are the stems red? Buds look good.

 

[FromFrostLane]

Thank you!

Red stems may be a deficiency of some sort, genetics, LED lighting, or a combination of all three. I am leaning towards a deficiency though. They began to turn red sometime in mid flower.

I am learning the buffer zone is small in these little pots so it will take some practice to dial them in.

I saw a few red stems on my girls when I encountered a potassium toxicity which caused lockout on my calcium and phosphorus. Once I corrected it, it did not progress so I was just curious what you experienced. It's in my grow journal. I'm about 2 weeks behind you, at day 66 right now. Fattening up, but not nearly there, especially not for my big girl.

They're fucking zooming through my nutes and water like it's going out of style.

Toofless was the picky plant out of my (3) soil grown. She threw nanners on lower stems around the time she was transitioning to flower, and then proceeded to go through water like crazy throughout flower.

Besides the nanners, no deficiencies until around day 45-50. Looked to be Cal/mag issues, but I'm not entirely sure. I did supplement some cal/mag into my tap water every other watering around that time but that's all. Somehow, she made it through

Pic of her on 3/26, next to a Purple Pope that was about a week or so away from chop.

Interesting, I haven't had any meph seeds herm on me yet but I'm fairly new. Growing in coco instead of soil on this run.

Yeah I'm new to growing ass well, so I am chalking that up to my mistake.

Okay so after 2 weeks drying, I finally trimmed and jarred (Grove bagged) Toofless up and she totaled at 6.67oz!

Just absolutely floored me that she came in at such a weight not using salts and a 3 gal pot (2.4 is noted above, should be 3) of soil.

I get bannana, lemon, and hints of burnt rubber from the smell and that pretty much carries over sampling through a Sticky Brick and Vapcap - the flavors are just amazing.
