New Grower Vegasbear's Noob Growing Adventures

Day 37.

Each plant got one gallon RO water & 5mg/gal calmag.

Three were showing yellow tips from minor nute burn and the one in the back left hasn't raised its leaves in a few days though it seems to be working on flowering.

Will check later to drain out runoff and then feed 1/4 gallon each with 1/2 nutrients.

Day 38

Fed 1/2 gal each RO with 8ml Big Bloom, 1ml Tiger Bloom, 6ml CalMag per gallon.

They'll get a second one approx 8hrs after the first - they're using a lot of water every day and only the bushy slowed girl has any runoff at all.

I had to give them all a haircut, especially the slow girl. The biggest bloomer (back left) had also gotten incredibly dense again.

Also cleaned up the bottoms a little - stalks on these plants look beefy!

Also, after a bunch of reading, I'm conducting an experiment. My partner is not thrilled with me over it at the moment.

Its a 3gal aero cloner bucket I picked up for later experiments. Pulled the aero fixture off the pump and submerged it, turned it up enough to break the surface of the water and create splashing to increase dissolved oxygen - couple frozen water bottles in there to decrease water temp and increase DO capacity. I will PH it and use for my second feeding later tonight.

I guess I screwed up at the whole taking it easy and keeping it basic for the first ever grow.


I have a tendency to jump deep down the rabbit hole with all of my hobbies, and search out and filter through as much knowledge as I can find. It usually gets me into trouble.

Pretty sure this is nutrient burn, and not from heat or light stress, is that correct?

Centers of some of the leaves seem to turn lighter than the edges after feeding. I have only been running half nutrients. Plants are drinking, gallon in daily (split into two waterinfs) and only one plant has any runoff.

Is this a big deal at this stage? Plain RO water with just CalMag for next 2-3 days?

Seems like I am just kind of riding the edge of nutrient burn, but I'm not experienced enough to tell.

Anyone have any input?

All these buds though!

Beefy, branchy stalks
Pistil balls everywhere
And the droopy girl has perked back up

All looking great in there buddy,
Not experienced enough with the tips and fading, perhaps ask the experts in the infirmary?

Maaan, I have a tendency to get obsessive and perfectionist over shit. Trying to chill out that part of my brain.

They look okay, then?
