Anyone getting any smell off these plants yet? Mine aren’t putting off any smell and usually by this point the 2x2 would be stinking the whole house up.

No smell yet for me.

I have been having leaf droop past 2 days, after 1st day i even raised the light up 6 inches, didn't help. dunno.. i changed nothing, res ph and ppm is fine. no idea what her problem is but if she wants to be droopy and sad she can scoot over and make room for friends in the tent

Edit: ph was 5.5 in res a bit low but still in rang, I'll just say that is my reason, i adjusted par from 1100 to 900. something will work or it won't

If I finger bang one of the sugar leaves with frost on it I’m getting a flinstones vitamin without fruitiness, so only the mineral earth smell really. Short and not so stinky looks like we have a stealth option for growers here

Still going well, they’re all healthy and still growing. No trichomes yet, and no smell. Hope they switch gears here soon.

Day 42 Skunk auto

This week was my worst week on this girl as i couldn't figure out why all her leafs starting clawing down, i chalked it up to a res that was needing change as it was the same res water from like week 1 of me turning on my autopot, allowing her to drink slowly on 13 gallons might of been a mistake lol

I gave a fresh res change and phed everything to 6.2, ppms set 900-1000ppm last night and today things looked a lot better so i gave her a haircut cutting off anything blocking a bud site and lower useless leafs.

Still no smell as others have stated which might be a GOOD thing no carbon filter runs would be NICE!!! better airflow on my exhaust fans and no1 to get upset if it stinks.

I am seeing some frost building up now, hope she recovers from whatever she didn't like last week.

i added 3 cbd girls in the tent so i shoved her over a little

Discovered bugs tonight. I guess they’re root aphids. Ordered some stuff to try and get rid of them but if I can’t, gonna have to get rid of these plants. I don’t have any aphids in my 32x32 tent and I’d need to keep it that way. What a bummer. I think they’re attracted to the DTE. It has a very pungent smell when you water it in and they’re really concentrated on the pots that have it in them. Idk. Cross your fingers I can get rid of them.

Day 46 like clockwork the deficiency or lockout of doom starts on my indoors oh well nice to note the frostier girl is also handling my mistakes better and is the greener plant. Problems are different this time though in that the brown spots aren’t happening yet and it’s the upper foliage and lowers that are yellowing, the middle of the plant looks pretty ok. This is why I’m after a fast variety as I can’t keep them healthy

This is the biggest reason I switched to organic amended soil.

Funny enough it is organic amended soil I have seen some people don’t mix peat and coco when making their own soil and I’ve only used Coast of Maine Stonington blend which is a mix of peat and coco? Also only use RO or rainwater

Can't beat Organics...

RO never worked for me in conjuction with Organic fed soil. I believe PH is key to unlocking the full potential of Organics in my experience. In nature there are PH shifts in rain water throughout the summer growing season. I try an an mimic those conditions, and it seems to have shown significant health benefits to my plants. Following my grows you will see that I begin cultivation at a 6.1 PH level, and slowly increase weekly until capping at 6.8 nearing the end of the cycle.
